Fancy Friday!!!! Cargo's Mediterranean Collection

Happy Friday!!

Ok so for Easter my mother woke me up with a basket of candy and a wrapped gift. I tore open the paper to reveal-- Ta Daaa!!-- Cargo's Mediterranean Collection!!!!!!!!!!

I mentioned this on What's New/Want it! Wednesday here, and I guess she read it, haha!!

Let's check it out =)
(**DISCLAIMER-- Lipgloss was "lost" (in my purse) at time of pictures. Will post pics!!)

Contents: Blush, Eyeshadow duo, Lip gloss, Better-Than-Waterproof Mascara, and Swimmable Eyeliner.

SOOO CUTE!!!!!!

Back of the make-up pouch~

The zipper pull is a dolphin instead of a bird~ 

Swatches-- eyeliner, eye duo, and blush~

Colors on --- notes the golden shimmer from the blush!

The eye shades are SO beautiful!

I adore this set!! THANKS MOM!!!! =D =D

All of these colors wear very well-- they are easy to apply and blendable, and really work well together. I am in LOVE with the eyeliner!! It's creamy yet really stays in place! The gold eyeshadow is almost a smidge on the allllmost glittery side, but there isn't much fall-out so it's manageable.

The Better-Than-Waterproof mascara is a sort of "Tube" mascara, and is easily removed with warm water and pressure. I actually had a little bit of a weep while wearing this, and I'm glad to say it did not budge! The only thing it, it's really not that volumizing OR lengthening... It's an ok mascara, but not one that I will repurchase.

What do you think? Are you a fan? Did you check out the previous cutesy set from Cargo, the Safari Kit (review here)?

Have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!

What's New/Want It! Wednesday-- Another Trip with Cargo!! Pixi helps us for every single day, OPI eye-opener, Emma Stone is pretty, and a deal on e.l.f.!

Hey there!

So I got hit with the "Spring Cleaning" bug today and organized the bajeezus out of my closet and desk. Yay! Apologies for the late post, but I wanted to oblige my urge to clean while I still had it, haha.

Ok! This is a fun week. =D


First up! Remember the Cargo Safari set from a while back? Well they're coming out with a summer version! Cargo Mediterranean Collection, $34 at Ulta.
Set includes: Better than Waterproof Mascara, Classic Lipgloss, Swimmables Eyeliner, Shadow Duo, Blush, and Postcard Makeup Bag

"So much to do, So much to see, Pack your bags, Come (fly with me?)"

I am just so in love with these postcard makeup bags!! The blue is darling, and I like how they changed the bird zipper from the last one to a dolphin! How fun~


Next up! Pixi's new Week of Wakeup Makeup kit, $34 at Target stores and Pixi.com.
Kit includes: 21 powder eyeshadows, 7 powder blushes, and 8 lip colors.

This set is neat in that it lays out a different look for each day for you! This is perfect for those of you who might feel you're in a "makeup rut" with wearing the same thing everyday. The only thing I notice is that I would probably switch up the days~ Wednesday, for instance, looks more like a Saturday look to me, haha. It's a neat, and portable, little kit! Can't wait to play with it. =)


Also, check out this OPI Designer Series nail color-- I had no clue they were so pretty!! Anyone own any of these??

OPI DS Original

This is a random picture~ But how gorgeous does Emma Stone look here?! I love her hair, makeup-- everything!

These are the curls I WANT.

And to wrap it up~ If you've been curious about e.l.f. products, Target is running a special on their website through May 7th--- Buy 2 select e.l.f. products and get FREE shipping! Details here.

Hope you all are having a nice week!

Until Next Time--
