I’m so excited because Merit overnighted my order, and I’m getting it tomorrow. All 8 shades, and seeing this in-depth view, is making me more excited for every shade. THANK YOU CATE❤❤❤❤❤
Caaaate! I couldn’t be happier! So happy that you swatched them all! I have five of the satin shades. I adore the buildable sheerness! I have Power in the matte formula and going for more (thanks to you)! The two things this year that will make me walk on air are: 1) Aperitif becomes a fixture shade, and 2) Donald tRUMP goes in search of Amelia Earhart and never comes back. 🥂 Cheers! ❤❤❤
Literally gasped at how amazing Vermillion looks on you. Such a dramatic and editorial look especially with your short hair. It’s very Berlin somehow. Love!
I am obsessed with Merit lipsticks, I have been wearing Antibes all Spring and Summer long. Hope to get the Equestrian shade soon for the Fall and Winter.
Ermahgerrrrrd!!! ❤️😂😂😂 I am so glad you dropped this vid today bc I was waiting to buy any until after seeing your in-depth review and shade comparisons.
OOOoooooo these are awesome! I really like the Maison shade- will be getting that as well as Classic. Equestrian is intriguing, even though its a warmer brown. I am see thru pale, and warm shades are tricky. Thanks Cate!
I really wanted baby and millennial to work for me. But i have alot of pigment in my lips and they were just to light. A few of the other darker colors worked better, but i really wanted a nice natural mauve. I did however buy the 4 piece set that came out today😊 because i dearly love a good lipstick!
The one I picked up yesterday is Antibes because I think the peach will mix with the color of my natural lips for a perfect peachy pink on me and I got Beverly Hills in the blush because I think it’ll be a good compliment.
@@catethegreatbeauty can you do a video on how the campaign works this year in terms of purchasing with purpose? The website doesn't really explain about the partner companies in terms of do you need to buy something specific or just some of all profits go to the campaign.
Amazing video ❤I really like how descriptive you are with each. I love them all, and on you! Court really is unique and stood out, and looked perfect on you.
I am so impressed with Merit. They stand behind their products and customer service was incredibly responsive. I am surprised by how much I love their stick foundation. And I can’t stop, won’t stop purchasing the Great Skin!
Fab video! While more pigmented, they seem to have that same blurring effect (French girl vibe) as Violettes Bisou Balm (have not tried). I think I’m going to try Equestrian (does look like Tiger a bit). Looks gorgeous on you. I never really wore lipstick that much until I “met” you, Cate. Now I never go without! ❤
@@catethegreatbeauty okay, I’m thinking I need to try a pink shade too. I never gravitated towards pinks at first but they really do look good on me and I end up wearing them the most! I’m studying your video and I’m thinking Sunday. Thoughts?
I bought your collection with Baby and Nelson, and I also got Millennium and Studio. I love Millennium. I'm going to try Nelson as a smudged eyeliner; it's quite a bit darker than I thought it would be. I need more practice with the "one and done" eyeshadow technique! I really like Maison from the matte collection.
Thank you, thank you - these are all beautiful! I'm also less a fan of *most* matte lipsticks, but I do love ones that you can wear blotted, so I think these are going to be exactly my thing. Maison, Court and Equestrian are ones I definitely am going to have to test - oh hell, if I can find them in Sephora, I'll test them all. Also - I bought your Merit collection last year and loved it so much that my daughter bought herself the set too - it really is the most perfect curated collection! ❤
Wasn’t going to buy any because my bank account suffered a major loss buying Givenchy lipsticks (my favorite). After watching this video I bought three 😂
I was trying so hard to decide which to buy, limiting myself to two right now. Now…I still can’t decide but in a more informed way. Haha They’re all so beautiful and I’m happy too that these are warmer. Thanks for showing them so clearly!
beautiful!!!! Merit said on their IG that vermilion is aperitif but matte - do you find the to be the case?! I can’t tell, vermilion is of course much more saturated though
Wow, they're all so pretty 😘 Cate, thank you so much for giving us all the deets and amazing swatches! Classic and Court will definitely be coming to live with me; Maison and Equestrian might be, too 😊
I ordered equestrian, because I love a brown that has red it in, maison (love mauve) and power. I love a red lip, so can’t wait to try the merit cool red.
I was so excited about new colors that I didnt realize they are matte and I hate matte but I love the colors, so torn ( I mean we know I will likely get at least 1 but I need to complain first)
Millennial is my fave of the og line as well so thanks for comparing to classic bc I was eyeing it but I have many shades like it it seems. I put in an order for Antibes bc I love peaches and Equestrian and if I love the formula a lot I might be persuaded for Classic 🫣

Amen and AMEN!
Beautiful!!

Omggggg thank you so much! Berlin- love that. I can see it, it’s sort of giving Cabaret!

Yasssssss so good🙏🏻✨
wow, sexy red nail polish. Love it
I like Classic! Neutral but looks bright and cheery.
Yes is gorg!✨
Ooo. Do you know if Equestrian at all like Tiger?
I don’t think I have Tiger! 🐅

Loving Sunday
It’s so good!♥️✨

Every single shade looks stunning on you!!!!❤
Omggggg thank you!💋
😘
Rec’d an email today from Sadie about the Every Body Campaign, and I immediately thought of you!
Ugh, autocorrect! Saie.
Yasssss I just got my Every Body Campaign box today! I’m so excited! Thanks for caring 👊🏻♥️

STUNNNNNING. Picked up Classic and Antibes and, wallet permitting, will be building out my collection with every single other shade. ✨
Yassssss good choices but I hear you they’re ALL good choices!
Can I ask what blush do you wear!looks so fresh!
Hey it’s linked in my description box below this vid!💋
Amazing video ❤I really like how descriptive you are with each. I love them all, and on you! Court really is unique and stood out, and looked perfect on you.

Oh no. I love all of them.

This was so helpful! Definitely planning to buy Court and Vermillion.
I’m so glad it helped!💋✨

I prefer Nelson as an eyeliner! It’s SO dark that it’s a bit much for me as a one and done.
My colouring is very similar to yours. Maybe we're skin-twins!@@catethegreatbeauty

And those are GREAT choices!
@@catethegreatbeauty You are so welcome! Thanks again for such a great - and super helpful - review! ❤
court and Sunday! oh my god! I need them❤thank you for the swatches!
They’re stunning!✨
GLAD TO SEE IT❤
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
beautiful lip sticks, yes the last one love it. ❤🙋🏼♀️
🙏🏻🐎♥️✨
@@catethegreatbeauty 🙌🏻❤️💐😊
So good! Thank you for such an in depth review!
🙏🏻♥️✨
I am loving Classic and Equestrian! I already own Slip, 1990, Baby, Tiger, and L’Avenue, and I am not normally a lipstick person!!!
Yasssssss🙌🏻✨
Wasn’t going to buy any because my bank account suffered a major loss buying Givenchy lipsticks (my favorite). After watching this video I bought three 😂
🤣🙏🏻✨
I wish these worked for me the way they do for you! I found the original formula to be pretty stiff and patchy. Maybe I just got a dud? I returned it.
Huh! Yeah I can’t say I’ve had the same experience! Sorry you weren’t a fan 💋
I was trying so hard to decide which to buy, limiting myself to two right now. Now…I still can’t decide but in a more informed way. Haha They’re all so beautiful and I’m happy too that these are warmer. Thanks for showing them so clearly!

beautiful!!!! Merit said on their IG that vermilion is aperitif but matte - do you find the to be the case?! I can’t tell, vermilion is of course much more saturated though
Yes that’s absolutely the case!
Vermillion is gorge!!! How is it possible that all the colors look so good on you?!!! So unfair 😂
Vermillion is ✨
And thank you!
Wow, they're all so pretty 😘 Cate, thank you so much for giving us all the deets and amazing swatches! Classic and Court will definitely be coming to live with me; Maison and Equestrian might be, too 😊
🙏🏻🍑🐎✨
I ordered equestrian, because I love a brown that has red it in, maison (love mauve) and power. I love a red lip, so can’t wait to try the merit cool red.
Yasssss🐎♥️✨
Also do any of these dupe Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk or very Victoria? ❤
I think Baby (OG shade) is close to Very Victoria, but I couldn’t say it’s a dupe.
Girl whaaaaaaaaaatttttt these are gorgeous!! I especially love equestrian on you! They all look amazing but that’s my favorite!
Thank you and yes I agree that one is UNIQUE!🐎
Thank you for this video, came at the perfect time I was trying to decide which ones I want to order. They all look great on you ! Love from Canada ❤
Glad it was helpful!💋✨
I don’t even like matte lips but I want every single one of these.😳
I hear that!
That was fabulous, thanks so much!
Thank you Lisa!✨
Clicks like video even before she watches video! 😂🙋♀️
Thank you!♥️✨
I ordered Maison before I realized you had an affiliate link😖
I hope you love Maison!♥️✨
Thank you for this! I would love to see Aperitif next to Power too!
Aperatif is a warm red and Power is cool! Aperatif is basically a tamped down Vermillion in terms of shade.
Thanks Cate! I have Cabo and Aperitif but I would love a cooler red from Merit. Just worried it might turn pink on me.@@catethegreatbeauty
Try power!
Absolutely will - thanks so much!@@catethegreatbeauty
Ooooooooh Antibes on you gurrrrrrl 😍
AAAAAAAND power 💋💋💋
🍑💋✨
Omg! They all look great on you! ❤
Thank you!🙏🏻♥️✨
Wow , got two, which I NEVER DO, THX CATE 🎉🎉🎉
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Every color looked beautiful on you!
🙏🏻♥️✨
I was so excited about new colors that I didnt realize they are matte and I hate matte but I love the colors, so torn ( I mean we know I will likely get at least 1 but I need to complain first)
that one will be power, classic and equestrian
Great choices!✨
thanks for vid pretty lady. be safe

I'm angry. That is all.

Two words: stu nning!!!
Thank you!♥️✨
I have Millenial but now I need Maison!!! Great review.
Thanks Susan!♥️✨
Trying the stick foundation and "cheeky" blush too!@@catethegreatbeauty
Aperitif 😭
🙏🏻✨
They all look phenomenal on you!
Omg thank you! ✨
Power looked INCREDIBLE on you!
Thank you!💋✨
