I was the model for a ChickAdvisor Beauty Tutorial and Mandy used this kit on me. I like how everything you need is all in one spot, so it's perfect for traveling! Plus since all the makeup is in one spot, you cut down the time it takes to pick through your makeup bag, which in turn cuts down the time it takes to do your makeup. All the products in this kit leave you with a natural look!

I've used the blush that comes in this kit for years and so I already knew I'd like that. But I was really impressed with the mascara and lip gloss. The only thing in this kit that I would skip is the reverse lip liner. Mandy used it in the Beauty Tutorial when she gave me red lips, but I really don't think it is necessary. I'd rather wipe off any smudges I might make than spend the time using this. Not to mention I kind of found that it didn't blend in that well and you could tell I was wearing nude liner.

But overall I think this kit is fantastic for traveling!

I am pretty impressed with this product. The makeup is all high quality (typical of Cargo), but comes in smaller quantities than if you were to buy each of the 7 products on their own. I actually prefer the mini-size because I normally get tired of using products before they run out, but don't like tossing them until they're finished.

I especially like the Classic Lip Gloss and Blush because the colours are fantastic and give you a really nice and natural glow. I don't use the Reverse Lip Liner partly because I normally just wear gloss and partly because even normal lipliner doesn't appeal to me, so I would personally cut that out of the kit. I also don't think that the Concealer Foundation in One does the job of full coverage, but I really like mineral makeup, so I continue to use that in addition to this kit.

Overall, getting all 7 products for $40 is really good value for your money and, inevitably, there will be pieces of any kit that don't suit everyone. I also think that this would be great to take traveling since it's light, both in terms of weight of the kit in your suitcase and weight of the makeup on your face (key concern for hot destinations).

Note that I am using the Light Medium kit. It also comes in Warm Medium and Dark Medium.
