I was in Soho yesterday and needed to kill some time before meeting a friend for drinks at one of my fave new Italian eateries, Via Dei Mille. I could either go to Intermix where I would surely be tempted by a certain pair of black Stella McCartney pumps I’ve been eyeing or I could roam the aisles of Sephora where my temptations would, at least, be less expensive. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular and found myself roaming the aisles checking-out brands I wasn’t that familiar with. I came across CARGO and was immediately struck by this odd-looking lip gloss — the CARGO Timestrip Lip Gloss ($22). The gloss has a Timestrip on it! When you insert the Timestrip into the cap it is activated and it “remembers” when you first used the gloss. As time passes, the Timestrip’s window gradually turns red and, when the entire window is red (after nine months), it’s time to toss and replace the gloss…so useful!
