| I was intrigued, too. Hope someone who has used it chimes in... |

I saw this one at Sephora and, I think, it comes in 2 shades: 01 and 02. I picked 02, a slightly darker shade for my medium/dark skin tone.
It is a click-pen type with a sponge applicator at the end. The product itself, at least the one I picked, comes out as light creamy beige although it shows a hint of yellow upon application. This works just fine in my case since the slightly yellow tone neutralizes the bluish cast of my underye curcle.
This has a light, soft, creamy consistency and some illuminating property which, IMO, makes it similar to YSL Touche Eclat; although, I think this gives more coverage than the latter.
Because of the nice consistency, this is a breeze to blend and it doesn't settle into fine lines and wrinkles. The slightly illuminating (not shimmery)property does brighten my undereye area and actually softens the "look" of my fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
I don't really have serious under eye circles so I don't know if this would really help with that.
Currently, I have Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage/Concealer, YSL Touche Eclat, Lancome Radiant Touch and even May Kay Highlighting Pen. I would say, the best ones for me are Cargo and YSL. But with such a considerable price difference (YSL is $50 and Cargo is $28 here in Canada), I would definitely go for Cargo. |

(Correction: it's a twist-pen type not click-type).

I just got this yesterday with my order. I tried it this morning and was quite disappointed. It has a weird fragrance to it when I applied it but disappeared after awhile on the skin. It's a thick creamy texture in my opinion and it's very hard to blend for some reason. It's sightly dark for my fair skin so it leaves a sightly yellow cast to my dark circles which can't be completely covered.
I don't know if it's just me or what... It doesn't seem to work for me. I got shade #1 for light/med. skin. Anyone interested? Thanks. |

| Well, I really thought it may not work for those with fair and pinkish undertone because of the slightly yellowish tint and may not really cover really dark undereye circles because it is too sheer. |

| I have the blu ray pressed powder and I like it. Leaves my skin flawless looking and doesn't highlight the hairs on my face like most powders do. |

It's not just the shade but it's hard to blend. It just seems to sit on my skin not looking natural  I wonder if you put eye cream underneath? |

| I do use Dr. Denese SPF 30 tinted eye cream under it and I Don't have a problem with blending. I guess, because I use a tinted eye cream, Cargo Blu-Ray just serves primarily as an undereye illuminator. Maybe, it's really the combination of the two products that I like. |
