I recently hauled some goodies from snet which included this super cute Cargo limited edition kit. This particular kit has been out for a while now and is no longer available on the Cargo site but can be picked up at various 3rd party sites/distributors - mine cost $26AUD from strawberrynet.com

- Great opaque formula, smooth and neither hydrating or drying, forgiving on my average condition lips and had decent lasting power of about 4 hours with an even fade after eating - it was completely gone after my second snack. The colour was an odd one for me though, in the tube it looks like a lovely muted coral but on my lips and skin it reads as more of a darker brick toned peach with strong orange/red undertones.

- This is the stand out item of the whole kit for me! The formula is buttery soft, blends beautifully with a gorgeous metallic finish and the colour is amazeballs. I lovooooove taupes, especially those that have that great plummy/lavender/ashy tone - which Yukon has in spades. In the photos it was hard to capture the true tone but in person its lovely - this went immediately into my makeup bag as it totally qualifies as a an everyday staple (and perfect for a fall work/daytime look with a darker lip). Wear time lasted a full 8 hr night shift over the included Cargo HD Picture Perfect Eyeshadow Primer with no fading or creasing.

- Talk about resistant, this blush Did. Not. Move! The formula is easy to blend and has that nice medium pigmentation that allows you to layer it to the perfect intensity. The colour is a pretty cool toned pastel pink on the skin with this super, super subtle lavender duchrome reflect (which was a nice surprise when I swatched it!). Very wearable and built for long days - I did try the splash test and a definite stain was still visible, you'll need makeup remover/cleanser to remove completely. Again, straight into my makeup bag!

- Again another solid addition, this is a fair skin-toned primer with a thin liquid consistency very similar (dupe-worthy to be honest) to Too Face Shadow Insurance. It applied exactly the same way TFSI does and dried down to a smooth matte base. It kept my eyeshadow crease free for a full 8 hrs, no problem.

- An OK mascara - the formula is a super black, with a slick/wet consistency which applied easily and didn't flake or transfer. The brush is one of those plastic fringe type dealies that's flexible enough not to be a pain in the ass while using, but hurts like a mofo if you stab yourself in the eye due to lack of sleep/natural clumsiness. I found it nicely separated my lashes and added an average amount of volume but no curl and not at lot of additional length. So not fantastic but not terrible - overall I achieved natural wispy lash look with it.

L-R: Dubai, Bali sheered out and heavy, Yukon, HD Eyeshadow Primer sheered out and heavy, Triple Action Mascara

Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and will definitely be picking up some more Cargo eyeshadows and blushes. While the primer is a great dupe for my current holy grail TFSI, the price point puts it at only $1 cheaper for the same amount of product, so there's no real incentive to jump ship. The Vintage Escape kit is still available on snet.com and if you want to try/swatch the individual items in person, Kit Cosmetics are an official stockist with decent pricing for Australia.
