CARGO Voyages Gloss Collection Review + Swatches

I recently received a CARGO Voyages Gloss Collection for review. I'm a sucker for cute packing & color stories, so these became my summertime glosses. I was able to bring these babies everywhere!

GLOSS BREAKDOWN:

Consistency:

These glosses are thin but smooth. 

Four out of five have micro glitter....which can be a pain for some.

Price:

This collection is $22.00 on ebeauty.ca.

If your Canadian divide that into 5 adding HST.. that comes up to $4.97 each.

Color Pay off:

These colors are very sheer **It depends on your natural lip color**.

I find that I have to do 2-3 applications to get some color pay off.

SWATCHES:

RECAP:

OVERALL:
My favorite colors are Tokyo, Paris & Serengeti.
Las Vegas is too light & Morocco is too glittery.

What do you think?

Do you change your fragrances each season?

I don't!

I'm more of a Bath & Body Works kinda girl, so I basically buy what smells good. Of topic I love their sales! 

3 for 10, 75%-90% off and their freebies with purchases are my fav!

I will admit that I might indulge in a holiday collection or two but overall I don't retire scents.

What about you? 

Do you change your fragrances according to the season?

Every girl needs a OttLite Natural Makeup mirror

Every makeup artist + beauty junkie knows how important it is to have natural light/good lighting when doing your makeup. I remember my beauty days before I got my certificate.. doing my makeup before work in the bathroom.

WRONG move! 

It would usually end up with me spending more time wiping it off than putting it on. Those are the times I wish I had a OttLite Natural Makeup mirror.

Bring the accuracy and beauty of OttLite natural lighting indoors to help you apply makeup flawlessly for a confident look with no surprises once you go outside. The secret to the OttLite Makeup mirror is the precise blend of light wavelengths – OttLite® 508 Illumination™.

This mirror will help me:

• On MUA shoots (indoor ones of course)
• Filming youtube videos ( when the sun goes down)
• Taking product swatches for the blog

Mirror Breakdown

Con
$69.99 is pricey for some but trust me it's worth the investment!

These swatches were taken with the Ottlite mirror. Doesn't it look like I was near a mirror!

My favorite Summer Lipstick was MAC Romancin'

The number one lipstick that stayed in my bag for the whole Summer was MAC's Romancin'.

Unfortunately it's no longer available since it was from the Adoring Carmine collection awhile back. I'm so happy I got my hands on it at the MAC warehouse sale.

Romancin' is a creamy magenta lipstick. It will work for every skin tone especially WOC because it's blue based.

                                                 That just screams summer to me <3
