Cargo Cosmetics

I recently had the opportunity to represent Cargo Cosmetics in the Ulta Store at Oakleaf Town in Jacksonville, FL.

As a smaller brand, it still packs a punch. I fell in love with the Beach Blush. It's the marriage of blush and bronzer that offers the radiance of a newly flushed face and the glow of a lasting summertime tan.

Provides the benefits of blush and bronzer in one convenient product with four harmonious shades in one tin that work together to provide the perfect balance of color for all skin tones, avoiding the yellow look of many bronzers. Light reflective shimmer particles add a radiant glow to the skin and soften the appearance of fine lines. Generously packaged with in CARGO's signature tin this medley of four distinct, multi-tonal bronzing and blush shades gives a beautiful and distinctive look to the product .

A key ingredient: Vitamin E: Soothes and conditions the delicate skin

It's convenient to use. Looks fantastic on everyone. A natural look with subtle shimmer makes it a great choice for summertime.

Available in four shades:
Coral Beach: Warm Coral Bronze
Cable Beach: Deep Plum Bronze
Sunset Beach: Light Pink Bronze
Miami Beach: Cool Rose Bronze


Another noteworthy item is the Essential Palette

The "little black dress" of your eye shadow collection and the base of your eye-makeup looks, these stunning neutrals by CARGO allow you to create a timeless, nude and perfectly sculpted eye make-up with ease.

Each of the four shades is embossed with its function/use (BROWBONE, LID, CREASE, OUTER CORNER) to make the application process a breeze. The four neutral shades are gradations of each other, ranging from light to dark. The Palettes have a combination of matte and satin finishes.
A key ingredient: Vitamin E: Soothes and conditions the delicate skin around the eye area and it is especially good for sensitive eyes

It's designed for those who may be slightly less skilled at makeup application. The palette includes the embossed shadows along with an instruction template indicating suggested makeup placement. The neutral choices make it a win-win situation for everyone.

Available in three palettes:

Warm Neutral: Browbone (Ivory), Lid (Cream), Crease (Caramel), Outer Corner (Dark Brown)
Cool Neutral: Browbone (Pearl), Lid (Light Taupe), Crease (Dark Taupe), Outer Corner (Dark Grey)
Dark Neutral: Browbone (Champagne), Lid (Camel), Crease (Dark Brick), Outer Corner (Dark Chocolate)

And of course, my all-time favorite item from Cargo's collection, Better-than-waterproof Mascara
A mascara by CARGO that is better than waterproof. Gentle enough for everyday use yet does not melt, smudge or run. It comes off easily with warm water for easy, gentle removal at the end of your day!
A truly water resistant mascara that is gentle enough to be worn every day yet stays put and can be worn even if swimming or crying! The perfect daily mascara. The tubing formulation stays put during the day yet is easily removed with warm water and gentle pressure - no need for heavy, greasy eye make-up removers. This is the perfect vacation mascara - you don't need to pack eye make-up remover with you!

I've mentioned before my love for Tube Mascara. And Cargo's brand fits the bill. It's waterproof, yet simple to remove. No smearing, smudging or transferring as with typical mascaras. Hands down, this is the best!




Key ingredients:
Vitamin B: Promote healthy strong lashes
Vitamin E: Known for its natural healing properties Vitamin E nourishes and conditions lashes preventing damage and drying
Vitamin F: An effective moisturizer to help revitalize damaged lashes
Keratin: Strengthens the structure of the lashes by restoring natural protein in the cortex

Red Apple Lipstick

I recently received the cutest makeup package in the mail. It was from Red Apple Lipstick . The items were wrapped in “apple” green tissue paper and placed inside a small burlap-style drawstring pouch. The products included full-size versions of a lipstick, lip gloss, lip liner pencil and a sample lipstick with disposable lip brush. I grabbed the lip pencil first. This was the R-evolution lip liner and the color was Nude. Just as the name implies, it’s the perfect shade to create a neutral lip. The pencil went on creamy, without tugging or stretching the lips and the color stayed true to form. With a matte finish, it creates the perfect daytime finish. Next, was the full-size lipstick in New York, a brown based nude with orange undertones that blended superbly with the Nude pencil. I really liked the consistency of the lipstick and the smooth results it provided. It has no shimmer and is an ideal choice for the workplace. It’s a fantastic color option for day or night. The lip gloss wa...

Make Up for the DIY (Do It Yourself) Bride

If you're a "Do It Yourself" kind of girl, I may venture to guess that your wedding is no exception. Whether for financial reasons or just the hesitation of letting go, you may decide to take wedding day beauty into your own hands. Here is where I can help. Let me give you a few insights into creating a picture perfect bridal photo. There's nothing wrong with doing it yourself, if you're well-informed and excellent at applying your own makeup. I've been doing makeup for well over 20 years and even still I would never attempt to do my own makeup for my wedding day. But to those who are more adventurous, I will provide you with a few important tips. Flawless makeup begins with flawless skin. Get routine facials, wear sunscreen, avoid harmful tanning, drink lots of water, watch what you eat and take care of your skin. We can always make our skin darker with bronzers and spray-on tans but once you damage your skin with UV rays, there's no way i...

Airbrush Makeup vs. Traditional ( hand-applied ) Makeup

How to choose between airbrush makeup and traditional (hand-applied) makeup... There is a lot of hype about airbrush makeup. Having 20+ years of experience in applying makeup, and working with new and improved cosmetic products and the latest tools, let me provide you with my understanding of both airbrush and traditional makeup applications.  I do offer both airbrush and the traditional method of application and I do not charge more for either option. Why? Well, to begin with airbrushing is just another method or tool for applying makeup. I could use a sponge, a brush, my fingers or an airbrush machine. I don't consider it a special service, but rather a different technique.  With the airbrush method, small particles of the foundation are sprayed through an airbrush gun using air. These small particles are deposited on the skin and the amount of coverage is controlled by the individual applying the makeup. Airbrush offers the ability to apply a s...
