Sorry, another lip product today! Normally I don't often wear lipsticks or glosses but as I may have mentioned before I've started to get into them more and more recently. So the other day I was having a route around for something I hadn't tried before. I pulled out this mini lip gloss by Cargo, a brand I don't really know much about, in the shade 'Paris'. I haven't tried any of their products before and had received this in one of my Glossyboxes last year so I thought I would give this one a whirl.
Now I must confess there are two reasons why I have taken so long to try this one. First of all, I don't particularly like glosses. I always assume they are going to be disgustingly sticky! There really is nothing worse than smearing a thick, ticky tacky gloss on your lips only to get all of your hair sticking to your mouth... yuk! I just can't abide that at all! Secondly I wasn't blown away by the colour, it simply didn't seem to be me. I still wasn't feeling it when I tried it but thought what the hell lets just give it a try.
I'm actually glad that I did in the end. It's a powder pink with a subtle shimmer and really not something I would have chosen for myself. It actually goes on relatively sheer so you just get a pretty wash of pink colour over the lips. This gloss is really shiny and not very sticky at all so I really do like this. Cargo describe this as a long lasting gloss which they say will last up to 6 hours. I haven't worn this for longer than a couple of hours to be honest so I don't know if that's true. I can say that it lasted very well for the 2 hours I did wear this.
I'm quite impressed with this so I'd probably consider picking up another one but I think I would go for something with a bit more pigmentation and perhaps a darker shade next time to see how it compares.
At the moment the full size lip glosses from Cargo are in the sale over at Beauty Bay for £6.75 (normally £7.50).
