BEAUTIFUL COLOR, but poor staying power. Also this lipgloss doesnt moisturize at all, it actually dries out my lips. If it wasn't so drying, I'd wear it everyday, but thats a deal breaker for me!

This is a fantastic little gloss!! I love these purse glosses, I ended up buying Geneva as well because I bought Berlin and liked it so much! Anyway, this gloss is basically a fat little plastic clear tube of cargo lip gloss with a brush on one end, and a cap. When you uncap the brush, be careful not to squeeze the tube - the cap keeps the gloss from being pumped into the brush, but as soon as the pressure of the cap is gone, the slightest squeeze will cause gloss to start dripping out of the brush. Once I figured this out, I've had no problems with excess or running gloss. And with the capping mechanism, there's little way for any mess to be made inside the cap, unless you accidentally swipe the inside of the cap with the brush while taking it off.

For color, this gloss is a shimmery darkish pink with a tiny bit of peach, but it's not quite MLBB - a little darker. I like Berlin better for an everyday easy to apply without mirror gloss, but Geneva is fun to put on when I want a little bit of color. It definitely doesn't come out on your lips as dark as it looks in the tube, but it is darker than Berlin.

I like the feel of this gloss too - it's NOT tacky at all, and very slippery but doesn't feel greasy.

It is pricey, but there's a TON of gloss in these tubes. And what's FANTASTIC is you don't have to worry about having a wand being too short to reach gloss at the bottom - you can just keep squeezing gloss out into the brush until it runs out! No waste! :)

Gorgeous color, looks fantastic on me, but I had to take a couple of lippies off for the texture and crappy packaging. The gloss is so runny that it won't stay on my lips and the little squeezy tube has a tendency to leak. If I could find a less messy version of this shade, it would definitely be one of my HGs!

This is my hg lip gloss. It goes on just as smoothly as the other cargo glosses, without the mess of sticking your fingers in a pan. It isn't sticky in the least and this color, a rosy color with a gold shimmer to it, looks perfect on my PPP NC15 skin. The price is a bit high, but you do get a lot of product- .28 oz, which is quite a bit when it comes to lip glosses! I plan on buying 2 more of these- one to keep in my drawer at work and one to keep in my bathroom.

Finally a gloss that isn't sticky and delivers actual COLOR! This is a beautiful rosy/reddish/pink shade with subtle shimmer that goes on smooth and nicely pigmented. The color is so rich that I plan on buying a lighter shade for casual wear and saving this for evening/bold lip days. Great applicator brush that thankfully seals when the lid is on so as not to ooze all over. Quite a lot of bang for your buck, also. My first Cargo gloss, and definitely not the last!
