CARGO Lip Gloss Duo

Average member rating of 7.6
Average member rating
Rated a 7.0
Each tin carries two finger-applicable glosses that can be worn separately or blended if you're feeling crazy. Available in an ample 23 shades, each duo delivers sheer color that's light enough not to raise eyebrows around the office. But it does suffer from that age-old gloss conundrum: It leaves no sticky residue (hooray), but it slides off lips (boo). Luckily, the container is small enough to stash in your desk drawer for reapplication.

    I love this stuff

    by cherrypie (81 reviews)
    I love CARGO for it's big, shiny, utilitarian-esque packaging. When you find something so pretty inside you feel like YOU discovered it; it's a secret only you know. This lipgloss is among my favorites (and I'm a lip-gloss addict) because it is so shiny, the shades so pretty (especially "Wala Wala"), it makes you ... May 22, 2008, 12:42 pm I love CARGO for it's big, shiny, utilitarian-esque packaging. When you find something so pretty inside you feel like YOU discovered it; it's a secret only you know. This lipgloss is among my favorites (and I'm a lip-gloss addict) because it is so shiny, the shades so pretty (especially "Wala Wala"), it makes you look put together in an instant; your lips look full and polished. Two things: I wish it lasted a bit longer and it gets a little icky having to apply with your finger. Overall, fantastic product worth every penny. May 22, 2008, 12:42 pm

    Great Shine, Not Enough Colour

    by makeupjunkie13 (28 reviews)
    I found with a lot of the glosses the colour would disappear on my lips. The texture was nice and smooth though. I liked having 2 colours in a big tin that you could layer over the other. But if you're someone that goes through gloss quickly these big tins don't actually hold a lot of product. And these also didn't hold up ... February 19, 2008, 7:24 pm I found with a lot of the glosses the colour would disappear on my lips. The texture was nice and smooth though. I liked having 2 colours in a big tin that you could layer over the other. But if you're someone that goes through gloss quickly these big tins don't actually hold a lot of product. And these also didn't hold up well in hot weather - a lot of times they would get liquidy. Overall, I haven't bought these in years and probably don't plan to again. There's too many other glosses out there that have both colour and shine and you don't have to use your finger! :) February 19, 2008, 7:24 pm

    Great gloss! Too bad it's finger application though.

    by firepail (16 reviews)
    CARGO's tin glosses are great glosses, they have just the right amount of shine without being gloppy or heavy. The colors are subtle and very wearable on any skintone. The downside? Finger application isn't for everyone and these glosses will liquify in your handbag on a hot day. If finger application isn't for you, try...

The downside? Finger application isn't for everyone and these glosses will liquify in your handbag on a hot day. If finger application isn't for you, try their Purse Gloss, same formula in a finger-free applicator! February 21, 2008, 11:57 am

    Love this Gloss!!!

    by Portia (3 reviews)
    This gloss is the shiniest, most succulent, kiss me gloss that I have come across, hands- down. The formulation feels fantastic, though frequent reapplication is needed to always look picture perfect- which is where the headache comes in. The ONLY reason i have strayed from this gloss is the inconvenience of having to pull ... November 14, 2007, 10:28 am This gloss is the shiniest, most succulent, kiss me gloss that I have come across, hands- down. The formulation feels fantastic, though frequent reapplication is needed to always look picture perfect- which is where the headache comes in. The ONLY reason i have strayed from this gloss is the inconvenience of having to pull out a mirror and a lipbrush to reapply it. if you don't mind that, I would say go for it!

    Not long lasting

    by Dumaurier (65 reviews)
    I was hoping to add a bit of color to my lips without going into lipstick territory, and I heard such rave reviews over this gloss that I had to try it. While the color was nice it hardly stayed on my lips. I kept having to apply it, to me thats a waste! May 6, 2008, 11:18 pm

    Love the colors!

    by KCSparks (11 reviews)
    Even the colors that look crazy bright in the packaging go on with the perfect amount of sheer buildable color. I found it lasted a surprisingly long time for a gloss. And I like putting it on with a finger, makes me feel "artistic" haha. April 29, 2008, 4:44 am

    Great colors, no staying power

    by natalierb (159 reviews)
    I love the colors Cargo has to offer, but there is so staying power on these glosses. The packaging is tricky also- it looks like you have a lot of gloss in the package, but after a few applications, I hit pan. Save your money, there are other pretty, long lasting glosses out there.

    Pretty Colors

    by ShinyThings (58 reviews)
    But I hate sticking my fingers in these things, and I don't carry a little lip brush with me all the time. My other issue was that one of mine melted and I tried to clean it up as best as I could but it was so hard to open the tim after that. So yeah...pretty colors, but not much else to rave about.

    shine with less stick

    by laurenn_xo1 (3 reviews)
    heres why i love cargo gloss ---- its not sticky! its more of a slick but has the same appearence as a thick sticky gloss. thats important to me, because if i start out thick and sticky i feel like i have to keep applying and if i dont it just gets globby... this stuff is great :] February 21, 2008, 9:43 pm

    Here comes the bridesmaids!

    by bronuv (12 reviews)
    i purchased one of these lovelies for my bridesmaids to share. they dunked into it repeatedly & happily. they were probably just glad i didn't make them wear neon-green taffeta. it's super shiny, doesn't smell gross & best of all i kept it after for me. ha ha! February 2, 2008, 1:46 pm
