Hello, I'm Sarah from Workaday Beauty. Danielle was kind enough to let me take over today as part of the Canadian Beauty Blogger guest post series and talk about some items that are worth the splurge.

I spent quite a bit of time thinking about this because my makeup collection doesn't contain many splurge items. I'm usually all about sale items, drugstore brands, and shopping the clearance racks. But when I was looking through everything, I did spot a few items from a brand that I'm quickly deciding is splurging on.

Cargo Cosmetics is a brand that is fairly new to me, and one that isn't found in every Shoppers or Sephora. I have 3 palettes from them, and they are all amazing and worth buying.

I have the Shanghai Nights palette, which I've gone on record as saying the only palette I need, the Northern Lights palette, which was my introduction to this brand, and the Essential Eyes palette, which is their latest offering.

Each palette has a good mix of shimmer and matte, light and dark, all with awesome pigmentation and a soft buttery feel. These are the palettes I reach for most. Retailing at $40 each, I consider this a splurge, but with no duds here, it's totally worth it. I'll definitely be picking up any new palettes they come out with.

Anyone else a Cargo Cosmetics fan? Or have a brand you consider to be worthy of splurging on?

Thanks so much to Danielle for letting me post for her today! (Thanks Sarah! Be sure to pop over and follow her blog Workaday Reads right here!)
