I love this powder! It's light and reduces shine. So glad they came out with more shades as the original was a bit dark for me.

Flawless for sure!! - 11.01.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage

I used the Cargo dry/wet powder compact for years. I reluctantly tried the new blue_ray powder & it's fabulous!! I find a little goes a long way over foundation. I have received so many compliments on how flawless & baby smooth my face looks. The only negative is that it doesn't come with an applicator or storage space to hold one like the previous version.

Fabulous! - 10.28.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, oil-absorbing, reduces shine

This powder works wonders over liquid foundation. It is milled so finely, that it looks very natural- not powdery or cakey. It also provides additional coverage. I love this powder!

Great powder - 10.15.09
The sales girl at Sephora suggested I try this since it is her favorite product. As soon as she applied it I could see why! I love the coverage and the fact that it lasts all day

Not for me - 10.13.09
The color was nice that's why I bought it. But it really doesn't go on smoothly and the packaging is inconvenient. I am going to return it.

Skin Irritating! - 10.08.09
Quick Take: poor coverage, bad for sensitive skin, expensive

Ugh! First of all this powder was VERY expensive to not come with some kind of applicator to carry around with it for travel. Second it really irritated my skin, dried it out, and made me itch! I'm just glad I didn't get a rash! Third, the coverage is terrible and there is SO MUCH mica ('light-reflecting pigments') that it looks like you're some kid's homemade glittery christmas ornament--I've tried products with fine-milled mica before, and this is not one of them. ICK ICK ICK!!! Do NOT buy this before trying it!

Quick Take: sheer coverage

wonderful powder; it's also light and it last all day and all night. I never I needed any touch up, it's not oily either. I see friends faces and they're constantly wiping their faces with tissues or something to get the oily look but I don't have to do that in mine it's great I love it!!!!

Not for oily skin - 09.29.09
Provides nice coverage, but doesn't look natural in the day light. After two hours started melt in chanks on my oliy T-zone (and I used primer). Had to return.

Product is fine but no applicator/shoddy packaging - 09.28.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage

It's hard to review a product that's so user-unfriendly and packaged poorly. Cargo should know that most women use pressed powder on the go. So big thumbs-down for a case that was designed with no room for an applicator and was so weak that it broke in my makeup bag in the first week (not even dropped). Would not buy again and I hesitate to buy anything else from Cargo if the company has such little regard for customer convenience. Sephora should also clarify that this is not really a portable product, with no applicator included.

Not bad - 09.11.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, airbrushed finish, not oil-absorbing

i like putting this on top of my liquid foundation to give it an airbrushed, flawless finish. it doesn't really give much coverage unless you really build it up, so it's good for someone looking for really sheer coverage. it's definitely not oil-absorbing, so if you have oily / combo skin you'll still have to put a blot powder on top after a couple hours.
