About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    The pencils don’t excite me, but I love the first two palettes. The e/s are not dark or bruisey looking. Good, fresh colors.

      hi pickedgreens! Very fresh colors and very interesting design palette wise 😀 Really interesting releases from cargo lately!

  • Marie

    I love the eye pencils especially for only $18 they are very pretty fall and winter colors!!

    so muse today in sephora i saw the shadow palette in person and it is big! square & i’d say larger than a cd jewel case. & the shadows appear to be full size – that’s a lot of product for $29! (althought not necessarily travel friendly) teh colors seemed fairly pigmented, a bit frosty 🙂

    • the Muse

      fantastic news dina! I think i needs it 😀 mmm the bit frosty does sway me…gotta go lookiee in Sephora this week! Thanks for the mini review hun!

    I bought the Hands of Hope palette during Sephora’s FF sale, and didn’t think it’d be that big, given the size of Cargo’s usual eyeshadow quads. The Hands of Hope palette is HUGE and a fantastic bargain–the shadow pans are definitely larger than MAC’s (probably close to being Stila’s size), and the colors are much more beautiful than the website shows. I don’t usually wear bright colors, but I adore this palette!
