CARGO Cosmetics…stocking stuffers!
I’m always overjoyed when I receive products from companies that I adore, so you know I was giving a high five to the deliveryman when he dropped off a package for happygrrls from CARGO Cosmetics.
THE LOWDOWN
As I ripped open the parcel, I was greeted with a bevy of cosmetics to write about.
It may only be a couple of days before Christmas, but last-minute shoppers should run directly to a CARGO counter and pick up a few items for the special grrl in your life. CARGO has found a way to make your holiday shopping experience much easier. Here’s how they did it.
DailyGloss
I’m such a lip gloss junkie. I know that I should have at least one lipstick in my makeup case, but lip gloss gives me juicy, sexy lips that I can’t get from regular lipstick.
If you know someone who adores lip gloss as much as I do, why not give them the DailyGloss 30-day supply of lip gloss from CARGO? It comes in a cute, portable package with a very handy lip brush. Each lip colour is individually packaged with easy-to-tear perforations (one square holds one application). You can take one application or as many as you need, everywhere you go! They are tiny enough to fit into the teeniest clutch purse.
The lip gloss comes in three shades, which range from a sheer pink tint to a translucent berry-ish hue. I liked the berry-ish hue the best. I almost never wear colours like that, but I liked that it brightened up my face and gave me a chance to get away from the gold tones that I rely too heavily on.
ColorCards
I think that this gift is pure genius. I’m not one to travel with tons of makeup in my purse – mainly because I’m extremely lazy and I don’t want to lug it all with me. I tend to only bring my lip gloss, and I end up watching my eye shadow gradually melt by day’s end.
Well, now I don’t have to witness my makeup disappearing into thin air. I can touchup my eye shadow using ColorCards. They are a collection of 28 single-use cards of eye shadows in CARGO’S most popular shades. The collection includes a variety of colours from a metallic gold shade to a rich teal blue. You don’t even need a brush to apply – it goes on with ease with the help of your fingertips. Like the DailyGloss, the ColorCards are extremely portable. You can stuff all 28 in your purse and you don’t even have to worry about it bulking it up!
Thanks CARGO, now I don’t have to look like a raccoon at the end of the day!
GlossyGreetings Cards – Boxed set of 5 cards
GlossyGreetings Tags – Boxed set of 5 tagsEvery year we do the same thing. We go to the local card shop and buy a run-of-the-mill Christmas card. But why not do something a little different this year? Why not purchase a box of Christmas cards and gift tags that give back to those less fortunate.
CARGO is donating 100% of profits from the sale of GlossyGreetings Cards and Tags to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Not only are you giving someone a great card or tag with a sample of lip gloss built into it, you are helping someone that really needs it. And that truly shows the spirit of the season! ¤ Michelle
