(I know I need to pick up on swatches a little more. There are tons of unswatched stuff on my vanity staring at me.. ;o)
So one at a time, today I have the swatches of my recent acquisition, Cargo Spring 2012 Get The Look Spring Kit for you. :)
I found this campaign image from Cargo FB page.
Isn't she gorgeous? I love the whole look with fresh colorings and butterflies!
(recycled pic from my recent haul post)
The set consists of the soft neutral colors with healthy glow that would flatter most skin tones.
To be honest, I am into cooler colors and I feel more comfortable wearing them, so this "safe" warmer colors from the set was bit of a "dare" for me. :)
Cargo Beach Blush Coral Beach
(a bit of sad drama..I dropped this! I am just glad it is still in one piece. T..T)
swatches of the individual stripes
blended together
This blush creates gorgeous shimmery coral glow.
It is a perfect combination of blush and bronzer, in my opinion.
Cargo Blush packaging is just great for swirling and tapping the colors into the perfect mixture.
Cargo Eyeshadow Duo Sardinia
cool toned light satin pink + medium brown with golden copper undertone
Together, they create a simple and defined daytime look. :)
The light pink color is one of the prettiest I've seen. It is fabulous to brighten the inner corners of my eyes.
The texture and the color payoffs are excellent.
Cargo Longwear Lipgloss in Fresno
Fresno swatch
glossy sheer pink with very subtle shimmer
I am slightly underwhelmed by the tacky texture, but the color is very pretty. :)
Cargo Triple Action Mascara Black
I love this mascara!
It is one of the few non-waterproof mascaras that holds my curls.
This does everything it claims and doesn't smudge on me. :)
Swatches on me :)
No, thank you. I just got back from hunting.
(You know what I mean, twilight fans. ;p)
Obviously, the only unnatural part of this look is the vampy color contacts.
(I am wearing Dueba Big 23 Pink here ;p)
I am especially in love with the blush color and pleasantly surprised by the mascara.
This collection would be perfect for naturally feminine look.
I gotta tell you though I always feel natural looks take more time and effort to achieve!
Have you tried these colors?
What color are you into for the new season? :)
i like the pale pink look~! :) it really matched your contacts! lovely~^^
ReplyDeleteI am loving the blush. When you said it could be a blush + bronzer, lightbulb lit up in my head. I'm kind of lazy, less product to use and still get both is perfect for me. Another trip back to Sephora. Good that I am only in the city for this week. Would be broke if I keep popping back to the store.
ReplyDeleteVERY pretty Lena! I love the look girl. Those blush swatches are gorgeous and come out really soft. NICE! :D

Beautiful as always lena!
ReplyDeleteAaahh I'd LOVE to have Coral Beach! I'm a big fan of Cargo blushes. Can't wait to wear my Cable Beach more often when the weather gets better. We had a couple of days of spring weather and now it's all gone down south again :p
ReplyDeleteLove your vampy contacts!
oooh that lipgloss is calling my name, Pink and brown are always so perfect for spring.
ReplyDeletexox champagne
Aw I hate it when I drop powder products!I understand your pain. Good thing it didn't shatter too much.
ReplyDeleteThe blush looks so lovely on you.
The promo pic is really pretty, though I really like how you used the products for a more every day look.
I am a sucker for blushes! and I've been wanting to try cargo blushes, I can order them online, but my self control is still strong! lol.
ReplyDeletebtw so sad that u dropped the blush, T.T but it's good that the blush didn't shatter into powder.
usually people consider warmer tones as safe colours..but you are like me in this regard..and the colours do look awesome..i think i need to get me one of those blush/bronzer thingys...and the contacts are so cool!

i know, right?! we share the color comraderie! :)
ReplyDeletei am glad to hear that you think these colors work for me.
i am a bronzer dummy and don't even know where to start, so this is just perfect for me.
i like this contacts, too..but people stare too much. lol
yeah..i am kinda sad but also relieved it didn't break completely. :)
ReplyDeletecoral beach would look gorgeous on you.
there are so many beach blushes from Cargo, i myself am trying not to look at them!
(*sobs*) thanks for understanding, Eva!
ReplyDeletei think Cargo is promoting the blush sticks for this season, so i am pretty sure some other colors were used for her look. ;)
it feels nice to step out of the pink blush zone sometimes. ^-^
the lipgloss color reminds me of NARS turkish delight a bit!
ReplyDeletei agree pink and brown combo is quite nice for spring. ;)
i remember your cable beach post, Sunny!
ReplyDeletei was not into striped products at all, but i can' deny this is a superb blush.
i love love the color. :)
i should try this colors with my blue contacts and copy the girl in the pic. lol
thanks, Naomi! :)
ReplyDeleteLoL thanks, Julie!
ReplyDeletei thought the same thing. "at least the girl didn't have to fret around the real butterflies!"
you comment revoked one of my childhood memories. i actually completed a summer course at a bug zoo and learned how to pin and preserve them. ;p
thank you, Kim :)
ReplyDeletei was a little afraid that it might look too dark and intense on me, but it is nice! i am glad. :)
exactly. lol
ReplyDeletei am not embracing the idea of applying blush AND bronzer, so this is perfect for me.
i mean i could use this that way as well since the colors are striped. ;)
happy shopping! ^----^
aww thank you, Janine :)
ReplyDeletei am glad the looks works for you. i actually put on the contacts for fun.;p
The lenses looks soo good on you!
ReplyDeleteThe blush looks more like brown shimmery than coral to me! LOL
Wow, I like the shimmer in both the blush and eyeshadow! And you look super pretty as usual! <3
ReplyDeletenooooo omg i'm so dumb...i seriously don't know whether i sent my comment now or not!! argh... now it might sound weird trying to write down what i've been just writing but i said that i really like that advert. looks truly inspiring with the butterflies :)
ReplyDeleteand then i said that i like your eyes :D amazing and creepy at the same time! "EYE-CATCHING" ;)

ReplyDeletei am sure pink and even red contacts got popular after the twilight saga.
i totally agree with you on "cool and creepy at the sam time". ;D
aw thanks, Aki! :)
ReplyDeletei am happy that at least one warm colored blush works for me!
thanks, Carla :)
ReplyDeletei see what you are saying. there is definitely some "brown bronzer" quality in the Cable Beach blush. :)
i actually like the color of the contacts. maybe it won't look as vampy further back... but i really like it. :) yes, that model is gorgeous! she has amazing eyes, and the campaign is amazing. love those butterflies... so spring and fresh. :) hope you're well, lena! xoxo
