An Introduction to Apothica.com, Cargo Cosmetics and a GIVEAWAY!




If you've gotten to know me at all, you've probably noticed something about me...  I LOVE makeup, especially palettes.


Lately, however, I've broadened my horizons and have entered the wonderful world of blush - shimmery, matte, pink, peach, bold, muted - I'm getting to know and love them all.


Which brings me to the point of this post.  CARGO Cosmetics standout product, in my humble opinion, is their blush.  You get a very generous amount of product in adorable, no-frills packaging for a relatively small price ($24-$28 and often available for 20% off).


Here is a pic of a few of their blushes, courtesy of my good buddy Cheri over at BlushesOnDisplay.




They also make a lovely foundation that works on many skintypes and some gorgeous eyeshadow quads.  So, if you've never tried them, I highly recommend starting with a blush.  You can thank me later.  :)

You can find Cargo Cosmetics at Apothica.com, which is offering an exclusive giveaway to the readers of this Blog!  One lucky reader will win a $25 e-gift certificate to use on their site or their affiliate sister sites   (Skincarerx.com, Skinbotanica.com).
