Cargo London Color Palette Swatches, Photos & Review

Cargo London Color Palette is another new and instantly loved eyeshadow palette in my collection.

Besides my blatant love for the city of London, I love the color combo in this palette.

It features more neutral colors than the last one I reviewed (Los Angeles) and two matte shadows as well as two shimmers, so you have more options people! Options are GOOD.

A. is a deep matte taupe/brown color. Very nice pigmentation and applied very evenly
B. is a light shimmery peach color, great for highlighting
C. is a dark eggplant purple matte. This was a little patchy, but this isn’t applied over a primer, so it’s probably smoother that way. Still pretty!
D. is a medium shimmery olive green. HELLO there, I love you.

Something about the colors all together in this palette really draws me in. I love the brown with purple and the purple with olive green and the olive green with the brown. They are a really nice contrast to all the other Cargo Color Palettes I have thus far, which are brights.

Availability: Their website and Ulta (limited selection there)

Pricing: $28.00

What do we think about London? Is this more your style than Los Angeles?

  • My favourite is the light shimmery peach! Thanks for swatching all these colours.

    As for your question of London vs. Los Angeles…Hmm…they’re both so different, and I’ve only been to L.A. once…London, never. Even so, I think London’s more my style. Although I love the L.A. weather and their clothes…it’s not “me” as much as London.

    • AHAHAHA! Ohhh, you were talking about the comparison between palettes. Silly me thought you were asking about fashion/beauty/style of those two places. Hahahah!

      To answer your question properly: I don’t prefer one palette over the other. Like them equally.

    Really like this pallet. It’s more to my taste than the last Cargo pallet I saw. I could work with these shades to my liking.

  • I like this one, but I really love the Los Angeles palette. I’ve been in the mood for bright colors lately. the more garish the better, really, much to the horror of my family. :)

    Love the dark purple and the shimmery peach. I have no preference between Los Angeles and London. L.A. contains bright summer colors, while London has darker wintery ones. I would use both palettes.

    So pretty! The olive color is beautiful! I like this palette a bit better because I wear more neutrals but I’m trying to branch out and wear more blues and greens which is where the L.A. palette comes in. I vote for both! :)
