There was something else that caught my eye on my last trip to Sephora: a new palette from Cargo. The Runway Palette ($49) is a Sephora exclusive. You remember my love for Cargo’s Essential Eye Palettes (still love them) — Runway contains an exclusive new edition in shades of grey. You’ll also get 6 additional unnamed eyeshadows, three blushes (The Big Easy, Rome, and Topeka), and two identical pans of Cargo’s bronzer in Medium.
I found the palette academically interesting. It’s an amazing value if the eyeshadow colors appeal to you (and I think the blush choices are one-size-fits-most). All the powders have a magnificent texture, though the new essential quad is too cool and steely for my tastes. The blue shadow also reminded me somewhat recent Starflash release Strike a Pose. But the palette is quite large, which seems onerous for travel or storage (do you lay it flat on your vanity? Store it upright on a bookshelf?).
Anyway, I think this won’t be the palette for everybody, but it will be an excellent purchase for some.
>I think I might actually pick one of these up… but it's so cute! How am I gonna use them and ruin the buttons!? lol Thank you for the review!
>Oh, I already have two of the neutral palletes and love them! I might need to pick this up as I've been wanting The Big Easy AND Rome and now a gray pallete!!
>I've been eyeing this palette for awhile (it was online before hitting the stores.) At a quick glance, some of the eyeshadows look like the colors from theBalm's Shady Lady palette. I'm still debating on this but it's very pretty.
>Thanks for ruining the budget Karla - guess what I purchased after work today??
>These look so pretty! But 48$ is just too much to spend..
>I love the look of all the colors in this palette! And what a deal for all that make up. I really really wish we had a Sephora here.
>oh i thought this was so tacky and i didn't get it. now i am not so sure. the eye shadows are so pigmented unlike how they show in the stock photo. hmm…
beautiful.
>Would like to see more swatches for Cargo Blusher
Gorgeous and totally to-die-for! Is there any way I could still get my hands on one of these?
