Im OBSESSED with the lipsticks! I was hesitant at first because lipsticks are usually drying but these ones definitely aren't. It's very very blendable and you can have it very muted or really pigmented, depending on your style. Also the packaging is stunning. I can't wait to try more colors!
As part of Thingtestibg, I ordered 4 products from Merit- the signature lip liner in coupe, lipstick in millenial, mascara, and the uniform tinted sunscreen. Based on what I know, I’m a huge fan of this brand. It’s considered a “clean” brand, which is nice but honestly doesn’t matter to me as much as if it works - which this brand does. Both the lip liner and the lipstick are a pretty, natural pink that are very easy to apply. The mascara is excellent - it lasted during an entire summer day without smudging/flaking, but wasn’t impossible to take off. And the sunscreen was easily applied with my fingers, with a nice light tint - if you prefer light coverage, this + some concealer is all you need. Highly recommend! It also came in a unique corduroy bag that I will definitely reuse!
I have really fair skin and most lipsticks look like way too much color on me. I love Merit for how sheer, balmy, and comfortable the formula is; they're easy to apply and give me the perfect sheer wash of color. Baby is my favorite shade, the perfect neutral rosy pink on me!
I absolutely love my new mimimalist stick and signature lip. I'm not a make-up person, but use it more to cover redness/make myself look less exhausted haha. This fits the bill so perfectly. It goes on smooth and not cakey — probably honestly the smoothest out of everything I've tried so far. I'm so happy I found MERIT and can't wait to try more stuff.
I really love Merit products. I think they have high quality formulas and great colors with strong performance. I like that they don't have a million products and they're a brand that is easy to shop. The simple but classy packaging is also great. For friends who want to wear a little more makeup and look put together without putting in a ton of effort (or spending a lot) I recommend Merit all the time. When I do a 3-minute face it's mostly Merit products and I definitely always pack them to travel.
