Cargo Multi-mix Bronzer

In case you didn't know by now, I'm a huuuuuuuuuuuuge fan of bronzer.  I've tried lots of different brands/types, but never tried a liquid face bronzer before.  Thanks to CARGO cosmetics, I now have a chance to try one!  I was lucky enough to win a full-sized Multi-mix Bronzer from them via Facebook.  Thanks CARGO!

What's interesting about this bronzer is that it can be used on its own, or mixed into your regular items, such as moisturizer, sunblock, or foundation, to add an extra glow.  I really like that aspect of it, especially for foundation, because lots of people have to switch foundations in the summertime.  This product also allows for a custom color- because you can add as little or as much bronze color as you'd want to have.  Right now is the perfect time to try out this bronzer, so if you're in the market for a liquid one, check it out for yourself!

Review: Cargo Goodies

I've generally had good experiences with CARGO cosmetics in the past, so when I saw a bunch of their items on sale on the Sephora website, I was pretty excited to get a few new items.  Unfortunately, the reason why they were on sale is because Sephora is no longer carrying CARGO products :o( , just as an FYI. 

 

EyeBase

In the past I've used Clinique's Touch Base for Eyes in Canvas Light as an eyeshadow base, but since I was running low anyway, I bought the CARGO EyeBase you see above.  I love the click-pen applicator; so easy to use, distributes the product nicely, and great for travel.  The color is lighter than my skin tone but that's not really an issue since I'm putting eyeshadow over it.  In fact, it works well for me as a base slash highlighter for my browbone area since it is a lighter shade, haha.  I haven't really put it through any rigorous testing in terms of staying power, but overall I've been v. happy with this eyeshadow base so far.    

 

Water Resistant Bronzer

I also picked up this CARGO Water Resistant Bronzer, also on sale from Sephora.  To be honest, I didn't really believe that it would really be water resistant, but I wear bronzer year-round so I just figured it was worth a shot.  The bronzer feels really smooth going on and isn't as sparkly as some of the other CARGO bronzers I've tried before have been, which is good.  It hasn't felt tacky or heavy on my skin, even on the really humid days we've had around here recently.  Overall though, I couldn't tell you if the water resistant properties are really working or not.  As a bronzer, it's a great shade for me and I like it so far (I've been switching between this and my regular- Tarte Mineral Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess).  I haven't actually tried going to a beach or a pool with this on, but maybe soon I'll give it a try.  I'll be trying this out all summer- if I have any new info/findings I will let you all know, haha :o) 

Review: Cargo Lash Activator Night

I won this CARGO Lash Activator Night a while back from the Makeup Junkie blog, but wanted to wait on posting about it until after I'd used it for a while, since it's not a "quick-fix" type of product.

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this product- I'm realistic enough to realize that I'm not going to wake up looking like I'm wearing great falsies, haha.  However, I am pleasantly surprised by this product.  I have seen a little bit of an increase in the thickness of my lashes overall, and have found that less lashes are randomly falling out.  There is also a coordinating Lash Activator mascara, if anyone's interested in trying that out.  It's sometimes hard to remember to put this on at night, but I am looking forward to using it and seeing if my current results last/get better!

Thank you to Makeup Junkie and CARGO cosmetics for having such a great giveaway!
