I have been waiting on this Merit drop for literally years, and it did not disappoint. In this video I swatch and try on all eight shades of the new Merit Signature Lightweight Lip Blushes—now a permanent collection (thank you, Merit), so you don’t have to panic-buy a limited edition and then mourn it when it sells out. The whole vibe is that pouty, diffused, French-lip look: sheer matte color, soft blurred edges, and a balmy feel that’s so lightweight you forget it’s on. I go shade by shade—Andy (baby pink), Archival (pink mauve and a fan favorite that’s finally permanent), Bespoke (rose brown), Frambois (berry), G (Bordeaux), Kittenheel (bright red), September (brick red), and Vendome (warm sheer nude). The application is honestly insane—like butter—and I’m basically just raving the entire time because I already knew I loved this formula from past releases. My top loves are Andy (no surprise, I love pink), Frambois (took my breath away), and Archival, and I also talk wear: hours later, even after eating/drinking, there’s still pigment and it fades really naturally. As always, I’m an exclusively pro-choice creator, so I’m only featuring brands that support abortion rights.
