I touched the surface of this gloss in an effort to swipe my finger across and gather some product and my finger fell straight through the goo that they call lipgloss. I tried the other side of the tin, same result. Terrible, horrible product. If lipgloss is in a tin, it should be hard and waxy, not gooey and runny.

I do love how the color looks on my lips, but the texture of this gloss duo is way too runny and thin. It is also a bit grainy and the wear is not long lasting at all. I also hate the packaging because I hate using a lip brush or my fingers--I prefer a tube for more practical application. Also, I don't like either color separately, but they work very well together.

I'm mixed on this - I bought this color along with 2 other Cargo glosses. I love Cargo's blush and eyeshadow lines, so I wanted to love the gloss line as well. The colors are all great - they do go on EXTREMELY sheer - even if it looks very dark in the pot, it doesn't show up that way on your lips.

The staying power is lousy. But I have yet to find a gloss that really does stay put for longer than 20 minutes.

While I love Cargo's metal tins, dipping my finger or a brush in this product seems a little gross.

Beautiful colors. One half looks very dark, but goes on light & is actually very neutral & the other is cream shimmer (good highlighter for more pout;)). I really love the feel & consistency of these glosses. Oh & the shimmer is gorgeous. Now that I've finally tried these glosses I don't want to be without. I'm really lovin' this line.

IS there color in this lipgloss?? This is SO extremely light--not what I expected because when I tested it on my wrist at Sephora, it was a nice shade--that you can't even tell its on! And it does NOT last at all! Literally, within 4 minutes it is gone. Has a slight grainy texture. Tried putting on more for more color and it just made my lips all gooey. This was sadly an awful purchase and will be going back!!!! It was also my first Cargo try and will be my last. Might be just perfect for the very, very, VERY fair types!

Very nice shades! A feminine frosty pale pink that doesn't make you look like an 80's teeny bopper and a lovely, sophisticated cool brownish plum frost. These are more along the lines of what I consider a traditional lip gloss in that they are not very pigmented at all. They provide just the slightest hint of color and shimmer, without lookiong greasy or over the top shiny (a'la MAC's clear lipglass). Plus, you get quite a bit for your money!Some might like the fact that there is little to no scent or flavor to these glosses. I, however, am neutral on that point.
On the negative side, they really don't last very long and feel just a tad gritty, but it is pleasant enough to reapply and the metal tin makes it durable enough to survive the makeup bag unscathed. All in all, I have no regrets:)

I love Cargo lipglosses.They feel really nice on my lips.Not sticky at all, but last pretty good on my lips. I like using the lighter pink shade on top of my lipstick to change the color. This is a definite repurchase item.

Absolutely love this gloss. The two colors - on their own or mixed together give a beautiful nudey-pink shimmery color. It can be messy applying tho (i use my fingers) I just dont like the tins too much, but i will still repurchase these. i finished Baden Baden, and bought Waikiki as well. Love their glosses!

I love this pair of glosses, I have several of the combos, love the texture and the container and this is my favorite color combination. Definitely a repurchase for me.

I adore this combo. On me it looks like a shimmery nude when applied together. I use the darker shade first and highlight with the other. I think they look in the tin much different than the online swatch, which turns out to be an ok thing, and I also think they apply differently than they look in the tin. Therefore, you just have to try them to believe the quality! They apply thinner than a MAC lipglass, and last about as long as any gloss does. No flavor or scent to them, huge amount of product in a tin, I don't find it hard to use at all, but the tin is large to store.

I love these nude colors, and I have a hard time finding nude hues that don't disappear nor make me look dead. Both colors work well alone or combined. True, it doesn't have the best staying power, but at least it's not thick and sticky. It will last if applied over lipstick. I dislike the bulky packaging.

beautiful color a large 2 sided compact. darker color is a cool brown w/ a pink shimmer. lighter is a champagne color. these glosses are very smooth and feel very good on the lips, not sticky at all, but this means they don't last very long. I reccommend this for a gorgeous pouty nude lip.

Love this gloss, a very pretty shimmery lilac taupe on one side and a sheer shimmery taupey lighter pink on the other. Plus you get so much gloss in these tins!! Love them :-) It doesn't have the best staying power, but not many glosses do in my opinion. So, thats the only bad thing I can say about it.

This gloss doesnt look like it would be much in the container, but on its rather lovely. Its a pale golden pink, and a lovely brownish plum. The biggest factor is that they fail to last, but do give a wet shiney look upon application. You should try this colour. Its a nice one.

I love Cargo glosses. True, they don't last as long as some others, but they also aren't as bad at that "hair sticking to lips" as say Bobbi Brown and Juicy Tubes are either. The colors of all the Cargo glosses are wonderful and I'm amazed that they can keep introducing colors that are totally unique from the others they have. While some may look similar in the tin, they are all truely different. Baden Baden is a wonderful browner plum w/ shimmer but not too much and a light pinky/beige, not too gold, not too pink, nice over a darker lipstick or liner.

Ok so Cargo lipglosses don't last long and the tin is hard to use. However, these colors are beautiful --- a plum shimmer and pale pink shimmer. I love the pale pink shimmer worn with Wet and Wild #666 liner and LM amaretto lipstick --- the combination is great.
