Cargo PlantLove Make-up masterclasses




Cargo's UK Artist extraordinaire, Shehla Shaikh spent the day with us at the Puresha headquarters recently and transformed us from 'blah' to 'beautifully glowing' with PlantLove's gorgeous range.
With no budget for supermodels, Puresha founder Jo and two colleagues get the 'once over' with Shehla. We filmed the makeovers (rather amateur, but you get the idea), to show the wonders of this organic make-up brand. Now finally, a high performance organic make-up that looks and works brilliantly.
If you need some make-up questions answered, Shehla has kindly offered to devote some time to being the make-up guru for Puresha. Simply email hello@puresha.com and Shehla will choose one plead per week to answer on the blog.

Our Furoshikis have arrived!


Furoshikis are an eco, yet ancient form of Japanese wrapping using fabric. Once used as wrapping, you can fold and knot them to create lots of useful and cute carrying devices! My fave is the big, slouchy bag as modelled above (much more funky than yet another eco-shopper!) or, a personal fave is the wine bottle carrier perfect for popping to parties at friends' houses!




I loved the furoshikis the minute I saw them and we are now very happy to announce that our very own, organic cotton, fairtrade furoshikis have arrived. From now on, all Puresha packages of 3 or more products get a furoshiki for free. As if you needed anymore reasons to shop at Puresha!

Behind the scenes at the Plantlove film shoot

We're busy creating 'how to' videos to go online for the forthcoming launch of Cargo Plant Love - the only prestige make-up line that has been awarded an Eco-cert Organic certification. VERY exciting. Watch out for the launch on the 28th September ... but here's a look behind the scenes of our very own, homemade shoot ...

The selection of products used for the bronzed, glowing look that Shehla (Cargo's Artist) created for me ...


Say 'cheese' ... this is the natural look that Shehla created for me ... keep a look out for the video
Sara getting primed for her 'evening look' using Plantlove ... we'll post the after when she's finished!
