I think I posted here that I had ordered Merit lipsticks and love them. One is a balm, moisturizing type and the other more matte. Yesterday, my Blush Balm and my first lipgloss came. 

I tried the foundation stick when trying to replace my Bobbi Brown foundation stick, but couldn't find a good match. So that was a miss. 

So far I'm very impressed with this clean, vegan line. I kind of don't let myself be guided by that but know it's important to some.

The line is limited because it believes in few products and a quick, natural face. That's  definitely ME.

Has anyone else tried Merit?

 @Shanus  I looked on Sephora and Merit websites and I did not find any lip balms, only lipsticks and lip oil. Where did you find the lip balm?

[Shanus]

@Janey2   Maybe I described it wrong since I was in another room. The one that is "balm like" called "lightweight lipstick" is the Signature Lip shade  and I chose Millenial  (a neutral pink) and the more matte (think regular lipstick) is Signature Lip in Sunday ( a deeper neutral pink).

***I think I saw a youtuber use the Flush Balm on cheeks and lips, too.

@Shanus  - Haven't tried Merit but have heard of it.  Thanks for the review.

The only Merit product I've tried was a stick highlighter. Had to throw it away because of the smell. It had an old musty smell. The girls on another makeup forum said that's just the way their products smell. Probably because they're considered clean. So just based on that info I don't have any desire to try anything else. The creamy stick highlighter was beautiful but the odor never went away.

Hi
I have not tried them yet but planning to .I use only cruelty free brands so many of the over 50Youtubers highly recommend this brand. I actually emailed Merit today with my photo for a foundation recommendation. There are 3 foundations I use/used for their color quiz . Each brand gave a different shade . I emailed them and they advised to send a photo in natural light and they will help. Have a great day

Thanks. I'm really not looking for anything to replace the Merit highlighter. Last night I decided I needed some new makeup (I really don't).  Couldn't find anything on Sephora's website that rang my bell.   I've been waiting for nearly a year on a YSL blush that I saw on Trendmood1.  I've about decided it's "vapor"blush lol
