love this duo!! i put the dark purple on my lips and then the light purple right in the center for the illusion of bigger lips. such a fun pair of colors but not scary at all.

Not a bad gloss, the dark purple side is awesome, but I hate sticking my fingers in pans of gloss...I wish this came in a tube. My fingers stay greasy. Sturdy metal package, though.

I love this. The colors are my favorite of the whole Cargo line of lipglosses. The lighter lavender side shows up as just a slight shimmer; it doesn't add its own color. The darker berry/violet shade shows up as a barely-there tint.
But what I use it for is the moisturizing effect. It locks in so much moisture in my lips that it plumps them like crazy. The consistency feels more like Vaseline than traditional lipglosses. There's no scent. I do wish it were more portable, but oh well.
Note: Oulu is a city in Finland, one of my favorite countries. Yay!

Love this lipgloss duo. The lavender side is sheer with some shimmer - a bit too sheer to wear alone but looks great over mauve-y lipsticks. The deeper purple-berry side is my favorite - I usually wear it alone. I wish these glosses had a bit more pigment though - the berry side is nicely pigmented, but the lavender side is not. They have a great texture but unfortunately don't last long. I hate the packaging as well. I would buy this again though because it really is very pretty and looks great with my cool complexion.

I love this lipgloss. It was my first cargo product, too, I was about 12 years old, I'm 19 now, and I still love it. It's a really nice color for me when I don't have a tan. I just really like this gloss, it lasts forever! The only reason I wouldn't give it five lippies is just because it's not the easiest to travel with. It's not a lipgloss I can just swipe on when I'm out. A tube or a brush would be nice.

This is my first CARGO product, and I have to say that I'm very impressed! I've been looking for pretty glosses that won't make my long hair stick to my lips, and this is definitely a winner. I love the berry color as well as the lavender because purples look especially pretty with my light olive skin, green eyes, and extremely dark hair. I think I'm going to check out the CARGO gloss dots next so I can always have some gloss on hand, even with the tiniest of evening bags.

This is my first Cargo product, and I'd have to say I'm hooked. I love the texture, which is slick rather than sticky. With my dark eyes and silver hair, these two colors look great, alone or mixed. I agree that the glosses fade fairly fast—but since I like changing gloss colors all day long, I don't mind too much (plus it doesn't make a mess when kissing!). Also, I find the tin hard to carry around compared to a tube, but since I have loads of glosses in tubes, this isn't much of an issue for me either. My favorite thing about this product is no scent, no taste—what a blessing! I am so tired of finding a pretty color, then having some candy smell under my nose all day.

at first i was nuts over these colors. then i realized the light sparkly purple/lavendar washed me out and the darker berry purple brought out the circles under my eyes making me look a bit bruised. but these two colors are hard to resist because they are just so pretty together

I find Cargo glosses go on nice and wet, but are gone in like 60 seconds of application. Oulu is a sheer mauve and a deep grape combo. The colours make me look dead.

gorgeous just bitten berry colors! one side is a shimmery lavender, and the other is a sheer grape color. absolutely wonderful colors alone, together or over lipstick. the texture is magnificent and the shine is amazing. i love cargo glosses :)
