CARGO Lumières du Monde Holiday Palette + EOTD

My younger sister got me this CARGO Lumières du Monde holiday palette for my birthday. Lumières du Monde is French for “Lights of the World”. This palette features a collection of eight eye shadows and a duo of Medium Bronzer and Rome Blush. The blush bronzer duo is located at the center of the palette.

The back of the packaging has letters that help indicate the colors, so I referred to these letters in the EOTD that I came up with at the end of this review. Here are the colors that each of these letters represent:


  • A. deep teal green eye shadow
  • B. glittery gold eye shadow
  • C. sparkling electric blue eye shadow
  • D. sparkling bronze eye shadow
  • E. medium bronzer
  • F. soft coral blush
  • G. periwinkle purple eye shadow
  • H. matte warm grey eye shadow
  • I. matte beige eye shadow
  • J. sparkling brown eye shadow

The swatches in the picture below starts with A on the left and ends with J on the right. My favorites are the gold, blue, bronze, and purple colors!

This is an EOTD using four of these eye shadows — H. matte warm grey (highlight), B. gold (center lower lid to inner corner and tear duct), G. purple (outer to center lower lid), and A. teal (outer V and blend along crease).

Since this was a gift, I’m not sure where my younger sister bought this but I do know it was available at Ulta for $29.00. I haven’t really used much CARGO makeup before, so I was happy to receive such a variety of colors that can be combined to create numerous daytime and nighttime looks. Also, the eye shadow pans are really big (3g each), similar in size to Stila and Make Up For Ever single eye shadow pans but with more product (Stila ~2.6g and MUFE 2.5g)! Thanks Kimmi! :)
