My Cargo blush just crumbled to pieces!!!

[MissJA]

Just this minute, I opened it and it just fell out of the pan and crumbled on the floor. I have no idea why this happend as I haven't dropped it or anything. First my Nars Casino Bronzer and now my Topeka blush. I'm going to be extra careful with my other Cargo blushes now. Has this happened to anyone else?


ps Cargo's huge tins are very misleading

Well, Gotham died a horrible death for me, but it's my fault. I dropped him. BTW, if you salvaged any of it, don't bother trying to fix it with alcohol. Mine just crumbled up again. Instead, get a sifter container from Japonesque (naimies.com sells them) or Sephora. Crush it up with fork. Voila - loose powder blush.

no it hasn't happened to me, but i'd be so guttered if it did!

I use Cargo blush too, but that hasn't happened to me yet... I wonder why that would happen??

 

[lovemichelle]

why are they misleading?

I had bought a cargo blush before and it crumbled and they sent me a new one and a free daily gloss.

ack! Not Topeka! I'd have had a fit! That just stinks

Oh no! :crap:

I would just use it loose. I don't like to press my powder products back into shape. The texture always seems to change. I am picky about textures.
Cargo has a very soft texture and I know just by moving mine around in the drawer I have had a few crumble on me.

How are cargo blushes?

The ones I have are soft and extra powdery. You can pick up the pigment very fast. I have had a problem with them looking a bit "thick" on my face so now I apply them with my MAC 187.

Very different in texture. I like MAC better. I like my blush to have a firm texture.
Have you tried Nars or Paula Dorf?

 

[user4]

Nope, just MAC, Milani, and one Rimmel (i think)... I want to try Nars Orgasm... it looks so pretty on everyone I see...

I wanna try orgasm too. I like the set on sephora with the gloss. its called multiple orgasm.

 

[user4]
