Yay you got PR!! More brands need to send ya stuff because you have the best beauty channel & reach a lot of people 🥰💕
Can you tell me Rebecca, do you ever wonder if your neighbors think "why does that lady come outside in the warm California sun & show her arm off?" 🤣🤣🤣
Today your face but usually your arm...I just wondered 🤔
@@pinksparkle258 YESSSSSSSSS!!! Most of my neighbors know what I do so not so much my immediate neighbors but TOTALLY people walking their dogs, delivery guys, the crows, etc. YES. Like ALL the time! Sometimes I look around first.
This looks super glowy and beautiful. So happy it was sent to you. And Pinksparkles comment gave me a chuckle this morning 🌄
Hhahahahahahahahahaha. I love @PinkSparkle!
Great review Rebecca. I, too chuckled at the comment made by PinkSparkle 😂💕
She's too funny and very correct!
Love, love, love this! As the weather starts to cool down I need something that is more hydrating so my skin doesn’t become even drier. I also really like the cheek color you used! Cream products are so flattering!
I really just love Merit products. There’s just so much good there
Yay! More PR for Rebecca! 💖
Haha. You're the best, Sheila!
I’ve been curious about this one! Merit is such a great brand and even more fantastic now because they are smart enough to partner with you!
Beth, that is incredibly kind. Thank you.
Hi lovely Rebecca !! Aw very pretty, and very smart of Merit to send you PR . You deserve lots more . Thanks for a lovely review 🥰💕
Hello Bridget! That is so nice of you and I’m so appreciative.
It’s SOOOO awesome that you got PR!!!! What an interesting product!!! And no fragrance??!!! Wow, what a concept!!!! I am so tired of battling fragrances; I can’t stand it, so this is music to my ears. I no longer have the “warm California sunshine” over here: it’s cold now!!!!! Time to get the furnace going and time to plug in Leo’s heated bed, which stays on 24/7 during the winter. I enjoy the cold weather A LOT!!!! Yayyyyyy!!! Thank you for the review; the glow is lovely!!! 🥰💖
Leo must LOVE his heated bed!!!!!! I am so envious of your cooler weather. We had a day this weekend when it was sort of overcast and everyone got out the beanies and sweatshirts. haha.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty I got out the big socks & pants this weekend!! Finally!! Cooler weather will soon come your way too. 😘🤗💖
I’ve been curious about those luminous products and this brand that I’ve never tried ❤
Such a solid little brand!!
Congrats girl! It should all be rolling in soon! You are one of the very best content creators
That is so nice. You have made my day. You always make my day!
Ooooh I bet this would be a nice boost of moisture under my tinted foundation since you may not remember me saying this - but I hate putting moisturizer under tinted moisturizer - seems stupid to me lol. But this looks like it would be perfect. Since I’m in Canada I’m adding this to the Sephora sale list. It looks lovely on your skin. I have a crazy cold Canadian winter coming so this looks perfect and what a great price for a serum ($50 in Canada). And THANK YOU MERIT FOR NO FRAGRANCE! Can I get an AMEN! Great skin care ingredients too - I’m excited!
Hello Michelle! Yes! Exactly. Moisturizer UNDER TINTED moisturizer? Huh? This is a good one. It's a shame to see Pat McGrath and Charlotte get a lot of attention for their glowy products when this one is actually better!
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty I have CT flawless filter and just don’t like it but that’s primarily just glossy makeup. The Merit is primarily skin care so that’s why I like the idea of it. And btw I just joined your channel - the first and only YT channel I joined. 😘
@@michelleisabel MICHELLE!!!! HOW EXCITED I AM TO HAVE YOU. We now have 20 of, if I do say so myself, the coolest women on youtube and we have lives and I'm figuring out a chat group, etc. Do me a favor and email me, email listed at top of description bar. I fear it'll hold my comment if I list it here...so that I have your email to bcc you for lives and such. youtube isn't great about getting the community posts out.
It’s looks beautiful on your skin. I keep going back and forth on this 😂😂. Thank you for the demo/review
Hello Leazette! Of all the serums released by beauty companies, I think this one is the best. It’s just exactly what it says it will be and if it goes underneath rather than over moisturizer it’s going to be a little less of a glow. I just like this real healthy glow sometimes.
I have been loving the Great Skin serum. It even works on oily skin 😍💜😊
It really is a wonderful product. It is so versatile!
Today's my birthday and I'm so happy I got to spend some time with you watching another great video!!! you're skin looks great!
Kymberly!!!!! Happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy happy birthday! I hope you get some wonderful presents and, most of all, I hope you have some absolutely delicious cake! So glad that you told me and that I got to celebrate a little with you! 🎂🥳🎈🎊🎁🎂🎉🥳🎈
🎉🥳🎂🧁 Happy Birthday to you!! 🥂🍾
Happy birthday, fellow Printcess!
I hear more about this serum here, it's beautiful with all the other products dear Rebecca!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩Fragrance free sounds like music in my ears of course!!! I saw somewhere that it comes to the UK early 2023. Hope not only for Selfridges/Harrods as they don't want to ship beauty products to The Netherlands, i think still Brexit stuff. But i'm very curious for this product in the meantime!!!! Another great video, thanks so much, have an amazing day!!!!😘😘😘😘
The Brexit stuff has had such a HUGE effect just on shopping. My goodness!!
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty indeed it really has, i think!!!
This brand is definitely on my radar. They have a simple elegance that appeals to me a lot❤
Simple and elegant are definitely correct adjectives for this brand. I totally agree.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty gets me every time
@@celesteg881 it’s true. Almost a lost art. I feel Surratt has it and maybe a few others with Japanese inspiration
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty I’ve actually prevented myself from trying them and Suqqu because I know how much I would love it.
@@celesteg881 sooooooo true. Exactly. Suquu was the other I meant to mention.
This serum gave you that beautiful glow, I usually associate with Korean skincare. It made you look so hydrated and youthful. Interesting that it can be used as a primer. Would you say this is a better option for people with combination skin, or those who prefer lighter weight products, than the CT Flawless Filter and Iconic Radiance Booster?
GREAT question, Chiena! The CT Flawless Filter is more of a foiled highlighter look and the Iconic is a bit more like this but not quite as glowy. The Iconic glow fades a bit with foundation over it. This one really shines through. Great for dry, combo and normal skins. Works for oily skin but used much more sparingly. I got this glow by using over moisturizer. If used before moisturizing, it's much more tame.
I have dry dry maybe dehydrated skin. I may benefit from this. I like the glow. Your skin is beautiful.
Yesssssss. This would absolutely benefit you. Especially over moisturizer
Love Merit, really beautiful line ❤
Small but mighty for a Brand!
What about pairing it with sunscreen??? I’ve seen so many videos on this glow serum but they not using sunscreen and that’s very important
Hello Maria! Great question. I absolutely use sunscreen as part of my morning routine and I have used this serum over it or over the moisturizer that is over it and all has been well
@Not Fit for Print Beauty thank you for the reply
I should receive mine today! My skin has been so dry!
Let me know what you think once you try it!
Hello Rebecca, I am on the fence with this one.I don’t wear foundation so I would wear this alone or mix a drop with my sunscreen.I love the clean skin look.It’s in my Sephora basket !! Thanks for the video 💕Arleen
LET ME KNOW what ya think. Only one drop if you want less shine. I think it's superb for winter.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty it looks beautiful healthy !! I love that look so much !!
@@arleenmeinhardt7830 I’m very pleased with it
Can you put it under sunscreen and still see the effects?
Yes!!! I tend to use spray sunscreen over. Or I put this on over cream sunscreen that I’ve let sink in. Either way it does work indeed.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty thank you!
Great video
Thank you! ♥️💕♥️💕
Hi Rebecca, I’m trying out merit beauty for the first time and have a haul on order. With this serum do you put spf on before or after?
Hello Hannah!!! If I’m using it in the morning for the glassy skin look, I put on my vitamin C, sunscreen and let it all soak in. Then serum. Then foundation 💕💕💕
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty that’s really helpful, thank you ❤️
Where did you use your sunscreen with all of this
Morning skincare. I moisturized last right before serum for the glass skin look. When I want it more subdued, I don’t moisturize. Just let sunscreen sink in and then a bit less serum.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty I really want to try the new serum and complexion stick how would u say color run . I normal light to medium with cool undertones. I can can sometimes get away with light medium with neutral undertone. But I notice they have fair light by pics light looks like it might match but pics are terrible to shade match and shade marcher is terrible
@@mariestopa I like the much darker shades on me. They run very very light.
is it ok to not use a moisturizer and just the oil and then the merit makeup? What moisturizer did you use? Did you find it went well with the oil?
Totally works great over no moisturizer. Not as glass like…which I often prefer. That moisturizer was the drunk elephant hydra moisturizer. But all of them do well with the Merit product. I’ve tried quite a few.
What if I need a pore minimizing primer? Should I skip putting this in those areas?
You know Wendy, that’s a tough one. Some complexions actually benefit from the oil. But most of the time, I’d say that anything with a reflective quality won’t really do any favors to enlarged pores unfortunately. So yes. I’d avoid those areas.
Do you think I can put it on top of sunscreen?
YES! I def do. Let the sunscreen dry down first tho ❤️
Did you use a sunscreen?
For this particular demonstration I did not but in general, I put my sunscreen on after my moisturizer and I kinda let them sit a little bit in between application so if I were putting this Merit on before my moisturizer that I would put sunscreen on after and if I were putting the Merit on like a little bit of a glass skin look, like I did here, I would put the spf on with the moisturizer before, if that makes sense.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty yeah I understand. Just have to figure out where to fit my spf in thanks. Im wearing a tinted moisturizer lately with an spf May have to reconfigure my steps. Thanks
@@habituallinestepper8839 as long as the merit product goes on before foundation it could be after your moisturizer or before your moisturizer. SPF can even go on after the merit. Just as long as the merit is on somewhere in there before foundation. Experimenting with the steps is super easy and you can’t really make a mistake. Honestly unless you have a product that will pill.
This looks lovely but I'm having a hard time finding a link that lets me order to Ireland unfortunately
Oh no. I’m so sorry. Will ask what’s up with that!
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty oh no worries Rebecca I just ended up ordering it through this American website and will get it delivered to a US shipping address that are provided as a service by the Irish post office and they then ship it from the US to my home address in Ireland:-)
So you used it as a primer essentially. Does using it extend the length of wear of your makeup? Do the minimalist sticks apply better, glide over face easier, when applied on top of the serum? Is it an oil or just a liquid serum?
The highlighted ingredients include hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and cocoa derivative for caffeine. Water is the first ingredient in the stabilizers list but I did notice a seed mentioned as well a little further down the list so that would be oil. I realize water and oil don’t mix but I am just noting that. Essentially, yes I used it as a primer And the make up wore exactly the same, no more and no less. It does indeed make the minimalistic apply and glide easier but I have also used it under other make up and it’s just more of a healthy glowing skin rather than an oil feeling. If you think of, or saw demonstrated, the Westman Atelier tint which is an oil based tint it is not that kind of a shine. Much more of a serum shine than that slick oil feeling which I can’t stand.
I have this in my basket for sale.
It is very pretty but very glowy. In terms of make up brands releasing serums, this one is the best of the bunch. And for oilier complexions, very nice for the dead of winter underneath make up!
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty well I have really enjoyed merit. Merit and rose Inc have been the dark horses for me this year. Boom out of the gate. Really surprised me
Hi! 😊 it’s still trying to charge me for $8 shipping, even when using your link?
Unfortunately I think it’s free shipping over $40. Sigh. I know. I know. Sigh
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty it comes to that with tax, it’s $38 plus tax. Ugh that’s lame! Not your fault.
@@belindafischer2920 honestly I am so incredibly sorry.
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty nooo it’s not your fault my friend, I’ll probably still pick it up, are you still enjoying it?
@@belindafischer2920 I truly am. But darn it. Shipping sucks!!!
I'm still waiting for Merit to come to the UK
Why the hold up, Merit!!! Maybe soon on sephora???
@@NotFitforPrintBeauty i hope so Rebecca, 🙏
