Why I am here

Since I was younger I have always enjoyed 2 things, Makeup and writing, more than anything else. For the longest time, I assumed that there wasn’t much of a future in Makeup. Now, that I am getting older I am realizing that possibilities really are limitless. So here I am starting a blog about Makeup. There are a lot of people out there that have no knowledge of makeup or how to use it. That is where I want to come in. I have been giving makeup tips and lessons to friends and family since I got my first compact and eye liner. I also want to spend most of my time on product reviews. I have a feeling there are a lot of women out there, like me, who spend tons of money every year on cosmetics. Time and time again, I buy the newest product on the line, only to be disappointed. Then I thought, how nice would it be to have someone who will test these new products and give an unbiased review. Well, who better than me?

Cargo Essential Palette Giveaway!

The wonderful people at Cargo Cosmetics blessed me with their Essential Palette and it just so happens I had already gotten a deal on one for myself. So that's right, I am giving it away. This will be my first official giveaway on the blog. I think that this a great gift to start off with because it really is a beauty essential.

First off I am having trouble even finding a picture of the shadows that captures the actually color. Even pictures I took made the colors all look matte, so I had to steal someones swatch picture online. (Sorry, hehe)  

The four neutral colors included are Bone, Camel, Latte and Raw Sienna. The compact, like most of their products, has a very modern look. Inside the compact is a little clear card that gives you basic instructions on how to use the colors for a smokey look. Easy for anyone to use, no matter your skill level.  I also found that it works great when you get it wet. I have never been too big on using wet/dry shadow, but I was pretty impressed. 


Just to give you a little of my own opinion, I fell in love with Cargo eyeshadow the first time I used it. It goes on a little smoother than any other shadow, which makes it perfect when your blending. Just a slight difference in texture can make a big difference in the way your shadow looks. I know who ever wins this will love it as much as I do.


The contest will be open for one week starting today. (August 24th) It will end at midnight on August 31st. I will announce the winner of Cargo's Essential Palette on September 1st!
