I have this in bronze, which is a lovely color. It has a cooling effect on application, which is weird at first, but kind of nice after you get used to it. The length of wear is okay--some days it was great, other days when my eyes watered a bit, it got everywhere. The liner is also very fragile--be careful not to twist it up too far. I'd say this is a neat product, but it needs a lot of improvement before I start shelling out that much money for it!

I have this in a sheer shade of peach w/lots of glitter/shimmer. There really isn't any pigment, it just looks a little frosty on my lips. There is an artificial cherry scent, which I don't like either. This is a squeeze tube with brush tip applicator. The packaging looks kind of cheap to me. The texture is alright--not too sticky, not too slick. The length of wear is about average for a gloss, in my opinion. Won't repurchase.

but I found it too heavy. Didn't like it on my acne scars/hyperpigmentation, and it creased badly under my eyes. It is inexpensive, and will probably last you awhile even though it's a small jar. However, it also has kind of an "old lady smell" to it? Won't repurchase.

I have really oily skin and was hoping this would work some miracles! Unfortunately, the amount of mattifying that it did was minimal. I do like that they have warm and cool shades of powder (like MAC), and it comes with a sponge. The packaging is a little bulky, but not too bad. It's a good product, and I might repurchase it in the future.

I like the texture--smooth, not chalky. The color was nice also, and matched my skintone fairly well. It wasn't mattifying or anything special, it was just a great powder. The only reason I won't repurchase it is because the packaging is crap, even though it seems sturdy. The plastic where the hinges is breaks easily.

This was in a CARGO Essentials set. I didn't think I'd like it but I was really surprised. The color was good, and it was handy to carry around in my purse with other emergency makeup items. The coverage is light-medium. The most annoying thing is the applicator. If you have good skin and only need to dot on a bit of concealer/foundation, then it'd be fine for you. However, if you want to apply it all over your face, it's kind of a hassle. I personally need something with more coverage, but this is a great product.

I don't usually wear lipstick, but I saw these on sale and HAD to buy one. It was one of my first CARGO products. I loved the concept of ecofriendly packaging, and how it's adorable, yet functional and sturdy. I bought it in "Lindsay" which is a cool-toned light/medium pink shade. It has okay length of wear, but the texture is kind of hard, and it doesn't apply as smoothly as I'd like. I wouldn't repurchase.

I have this in Pillow Talk (it was part of a set). Pillow Talk is a sheer nude with a bit of shimmer. It does tingle (cold) but not uncomfortable (like the Buxom glosses), and it does plump my lips the slightest bit. The packaging is adorable--I love the rhinestone on the lid. I also love that it has a brush applicator, rather than a doe foot. The scent is minty vanilla... with a touch of menthol. It leaves kind of gross taste in my mouth that I can't stand. I don't use this gloss often because of that, and definitely wouldn't repurchase it.

PROS: Cute packaging. Moisturizing. CONS: No applicator tip to put directly on lips. Not sticky. Doesn't reduce fine lines permanently. I'm on the fence about the scent... I bought it on sale, but regular price is too much money. I'll try use what I have, but I wouldn't repurchase this.

I have this Camellia Rose Balm, but mine is in a pot, unlike the picture. It's a sheer balm with a tiny bit of shimmer. It smells like oranges, but it isn't overwhelming. PROS: Does an alright job of moisturizing. It's paraben free, organic, and not tested on animals. CONS: Not sticky. I don't like the huge pot. The quality of the balm is just okay. I would say this isn't worth the money.
