Online shopping has become a very popular method of
purchasing everything you crave with a simple click of a button from stores all
over the world! I love sitting in the comfort of my home (especially during the
winter) and simply adding products to my virtual shopping cart without having
to deal with traffic, long lines and crowds. This holiday season you can battle for a
parking spot or sit back, relax and browse the fabulous variety of online merchandise.
I love when I can find a great selection of beauty products
in one convenient location from makeup to skincare, fragrance and beauty tools.
Recently I discovered Scarlet & Julia- an online retailer that offers a
wide range of popular brands including: Gucci, Michael Kors, Burberry, Jimmy
Choo, Nuxe, Neo Strata, Calvin Klein, Kate Spade, Lise Watier and many more of
your faves! I was very impressed with the fast and efficient shipping and my
order was delivered to my door well packaged with some nice bonus samples!
I decided to use my gift card on the Cargo Shanghai Nights Eye Shadow Palette because the dazzling shades are attractive and versatile. Since
I haven’t used Cargo eye makeup in years I was excited to add one of their limited
edition items to my collection. The beautiful colors are inspired by the seductive
lights and enchanting vibe of one of China’s most magnificent cities and these
glimmering hues are suitable for all seasons. The shadows are housed in a
beautiful palette that resembles a water painting of Shanghai’s glitz and
glamour and comes with a decent sized mirror, dual ended brush and magnetic closure.
Most of the pigments have a beautiful shimmer finish but
there are a few shades (Wai Tai, Bund and Hu) that have a smooth, creamy matte
finish. All 12 of the shadows have a high quality velvety texture that feels soft
and luxurious and the pigmentation is very good with buildable coverage. I always
prefer to use a good eye primer to enhance saturation and longevity but these
shades are suitable for a wide range of complexions and trendy looks.
The colors are stunning with a fabulous selection of
deep sultry blue (Skyline), grey/silver (Street Style), beautiful gold
(Ginger), frosty pink (Lychee), flattering purple (Bar Rouge), midnight black
(Night Life), deep Jade and a few more complimentary hues that can be used for
the lids, crease or highlighting. I had no issues with creasing or fading and
the pigments stay put all day.
With this palette you can go bold, neutral or glam for any occasion
or event including upcoming holiday parties! It
also makes a great gift and is handy for travel. You can pick it up for $46.00
