CARGO

I've never really explored the award-winning CARGO cosmetics line, but there are lots of great things to play with. Take for example, the DailyGloss packaging. It's great for traveling divas. You rip off as much tearaway bubbles as you need to fit into your teeny tiny purse or jeans pocket, or bring the entire 30-day supply for a long trip. Talk about smart packing!

If your purse permits more space, the regular Lip Gloss Quads are just as fun to play with. The Reverse Lip Liner is also a great companion tool, as it will help prevent the gloss from bleeding/feathering out of the lip line.

For the eco-gals, the Plant Love Botanical Lipstick line is awesome. I like the sheer berry shade designed by Courteney Cox. What I think is so cool is that the lipstick tube is compostable (made from corn, greenhouse-gas-neutral) and the packaging can be moistened to plant wildflowers! How cool is that? It's a eco-triple threat.

I'm kinda klutzy with the dramatic eye makeup, so the SmokyEye Brush is a lifesaver. If you have half an hour to experiment, that's great. But I'm always on the go, and this brush takes out the mystique on basic smoky eye technique. The ergonomically designed handle is easy to grip, and allows for perfect smudging out cream, powder, or pencil liners. Just dab and smudge with a back and forth motion.

For flawless skin on and off camera, the blu_ray Collection is a good one to have on hand. Developed for filming in high-definition, the five products are provide full coverage while looking completely natural. I like how the blush and pressed powder just blends into my skin. It doesn't look like you're wearing tons of pancake makeup, it just enhances your natural beauty. (for more tips: www.cargobluray.com)
