Cargo Lash Activator? Anyone tried it?

I've been reading about a product called Lash Activator produced by a company called Cargo and sold at boots.

In fact, I'm a bit surprised as I thought it was released in the middle of this month but the fashion column in The Sunday Times Style magazine implied it had been on general sale for a while, (as opposed to pre -release editorial use) but thats besides the point!

I was wondering if any MSEers had tried it and how good they've found it. I used asimilar product abroad before and although y lashes were well conditioned I saw no growth whatsoever, but it was a less expensive product.

So, any Mse reviews?:o

    I was going to ask this myself but forgot about it, it was in the Mail on Sunday at the weekend, I wonder if their doing an ad campaign cos I've never heard of it or even seen it in Boots, does anyone know how it compares to a similar product by Talika?

    I have used Cargo products. They are on sale in Boots and are a bit cheaper than MAC (blusher £14 compared with £16). I have to say I LOVE what I have tried, although haven't tried their mascara or other stuff, just blusher and eye shadows

    The Talika product is the one I used before, with no increase in length, but conditioned them well. Frankly, though, I'd rather have longer thicker lashes than well conditioned ones!

    I agree, are these just in large boots cos I don't remember even seeing the make up, I haven't even heard of the brand:confused:

    I use lash extensions but am fed up with them now so have gone back to magnascopic mascara, I would buy this product in a flash if I thought it did what it says on the tin:)

    I'mnot sure: I can't recall the brand either, but its dsold out on the Boots website,wher it hs good reviews. I must have been worng about the UK release date! I thought it was simply a treatment but it appears its in the form of a mascara.

    Thank you, I'm sure I'm no the only person who'll be waiting to know. I'd also be interested what its like as a mascara.:o

    Yes as it says on box you can wear it alone or under mascara so i'll also let you know.

    Apparently it takes 30days, I really hope it works.

    omg its really good, ive been using it for 2 weeks and ive seen an improvement in my lashes. i wear it on its own and it gives me enough coverage but it does say you can wear it as a primer with your normal mascara on top! its available on Boots.com but i think its currently out of stock...
  • Oh my god. This product is amazing. I wasn't sure it would work but thought I'd give it a go anyway. After 2 weeks my lashes are fuller and longer (I measure against my eyelash curler and they are definitely longer) Amazing! I would recommend this product to anyone who wants longer eyelashes.

    As for CARGO, it's a Canadian brand that I've seen in America and Europe in Sephora stores. Great products - love the quality, easy to use and good value for money.

    I am hoping that they launch the entire range into Boots!!
