MERIT FALL/WINTER SETS REVIEW

[@lisalovesphotography]

I do not need more blush or lippies. I do not need more blush or lippies. I do not need… arghhh!!! Those are sooo beautiful! 😍

[@catethegreatbeauty]

I knowwwww😬😬😬

[@jenessastrickland1555]

I’m far more excited about these than any sane human should be 😂 I ordered the blushes immediately, and the shade Bespoke is jaw dropping! Almost all brownie nude blush shades just look orange on me, but this is such a beautiful neutral color on me…I love it beyond words. I’ve actually been using Bespoke and Mood on my lips as well. I won’t be able to get the lipstick set, but I am dying when I look at the new “lip blush” formula. I can’t use their satin lipsticks (allergies), and I’m just not a full-pigment matte lip girl. I read that this lip blush formula is basically the same as their matte formula but with less pigment-i.e. PERFECT FOR ME! Sorry, I find myself yelling in all caps when I TALK ABOUT THESE! I have already emailed Merit begging them to make Bespoke a permanent shade in the flush balms and to make the lip blush a permanent formula. I hope everyone will do the same because we neeeeeed these!!

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Love this comment it made me lol! Loudly agreeing with everything📢

[@BinaBecker]

This is good to know! I've got these in my Sephora basket right now, and I'm constantly worried about nudey browns turning orange on my skin. Glad to see that these don't!

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Hey Bina! I actually don’t find that Fox is too orangey on me- it completely depends on your skin tone! Maybe check out some other merit videos where I’ve featured Fox! It’s honestly one of my favorite blush shades of all time!

[@jpb9099]

How does bespoke compare to ginger ? Looks similar online

[@jenessastrickland1555]

@@jpb9099is that a Merit flush balm shade? I can’t seem to find it.

[@melaniemerkosky]

Omg - JANE! What a throwback ✨

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Right?!

[@isabelab6851]

I missed out on these sets…love bespoke. They need to bring it as permanent

[@pamorama]

Yeah, I need another blush like I need a hole in my head and yet I bought the mini flash balm set. I haven't received them yet, but I'm excited to try them. Bespoke is perfect on you!

[@catethegreatbeauty]

🙌🏻✨

[@suzannelentine]

Cate! I've been holding off on buying these until you reviewed them 💕 And as I hoped, they look absolutely stunning! And truly, Black Tie looks amazing on you for a bolder lip look. I also gravitate towards the more everyday wearable colors (yes, Bespoke spoke to me, lol). Great vid as always! 🌹(also....Jane cosmetics! I had, quite literally, every product they made)

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Omg yassss Jaaaaaaaane🙏🏻

[@jenniferdobyns8940]

Cate, your hair color is just stunning!! So flattering on you!!!

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Omg thank you! It’s actually my natural color!❤️✨

[@MamaZapha]

RAAAA!!! I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS SO OFTEN LATELY!! JANE ABSOLUTELY SLAPPED!! The 90's were my jam and now that they are back I REALLY miss JANE and Revlon Street Wear. 😭

[@catethegreatbeauty]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@ashlynnkaplan680]

Bespoke is beautiful! This needs to be a permanent addition. It looks like a perfect mauve! Fox is too orange on me. I think this one just might be where it’s at! Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks have corresponding shades to all of merit lipsticks… which I’ve been around a lot longer! And some of them I prefer. The Sheer formula called “Pink Truffle” is like the Bespoke shade in the Dejour sheer formula. It’s my everyday balmy lipstick! I am so excited to see more lip blush and the fragrance!

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Bespoke is absolutely gorgeous and is much cooler toned than Fox. And that’s great about Revlon, sure wish they were prochoice!

[@ashlynnkaplan680]

@@catethegreatbeauty I didn’t realize Revlon is not! 😔

[@nkoliveira68]

I love all three new lipsticks … probably my 3 favorite Merit shades. 💄 They are gorgeous on my cool/olive skintone. Love the new formula ❤

[@catethegreatbeauty]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@QuinceyG]

I love both of these sets and plan on ordering a second lip set so I don’t run out of the shades, lol. I was so excited to get the sample of the perfume, as well, and in a few days, I will be ordering a full size as it is gorgeous. And they won thousand percent need to put out a whole line of the lip blushes lol

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Saaaaame!! I need all the lip blushes in every shade, lol. 🥂✨

[@gabriela231]

Hi. Merit looks amazing on you but I love Bespoke blush and lipstick. You look sensational ❤

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Thank you!

[@susanchaney5059]

I have been struggling with the foundation stick--I see that I need to be more hydrated! Love the new lipstick and blushes!!!!

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Yes! Thats why I always show the entire routine! Hydration is absolutely key- with most foundations, and specifically for the minimalist.

[@pinksparkle258]

Happy Autumn 🍂 🍁 Cate!! Cheers 🎃🥂

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Happy autumn to you too! 🍂🍁🎃🥂

[@pinksparkle258]

​@@catethegreatbeautyoh wow Cate the shade Bespoke was MADE FOR YOU!! Both the blush & lip 💋

[@kelliebennett9932]

I just love merit!! I can’t stop using rouge flush bomb.

[@catethegreatbeauty]

🙌🏻🙌🏻✨

[@maeganmchugh]

I will absolutely pick up a full size of the Bespoke blush if they release one. It’s gorgeous. They all are of course. Stockholm disappears on me but I don’t care, I’ll just put on more. YES JANE WAS THE BEST! I felt like such a bad b at age 15 wearing that line. I used it exclusively.

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Yassssss Jane!🙏🏻

Am getting the merit blushes right now

love Merit ❤

[@MillieMaa]

The dress code lipsticks are THE BOMB. Love the Bespoke satin!!! They all work so well on my fair neutral/warm skin! Unfortunately while I really love the DuJour lippie, it is very soft and the stick broke after only 5 days total of normal use - other folks have mentioned this as an issue. So just keep that in mind...

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Agreed the lipsticks are freakin gorg!

[@jamiewarkentine7108]

I purchased both sets , they are all beautiful wearable shades . I’m a Merit girl now .

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Yasssssss🙌🏻✨

[@SONDERknit]

Wow, been watching you for a while and you start talking about being proud pro choice and I am drinking it all up! As a doctor in a very pro-choice state (Colorado) it is terrifying to me to see what women are going through in this country to get access to healthcare. Appreciate you, subscribed!

[@catethegreatbeauty]

I’m so glad! I try to mention it in every single video I do! Thank you for your support 💙

[@Jessica-pt9tx]

Thanks for the review and clear swatches. How does the blush shade in Bespoke compare to Salt New York's Cocoa?

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Hi Jessica! I just went and swatched them and they’re quite different! Cocoa is way more brown and leans warm and Bespoke is truly a pinky brown- it leans cooler than Cocoa.

[@Jessica-pt9tx]

@@catethegreatbeauty Thank you.

[@AndreaLT520]

Now I think I know why the merit stick foundation doesn’t look good on me - I don’t think my face was as hydrated as yours. It always feels dry on me and cakey! Maybe I’ll try to juice up the skin and bust out the merit stick again. That lake house is truly your happy place and it shows ❤

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Yes yes yes! I’m always stressing that your skin needs to be fully damp when you apply the minimalist. It’s key✨

[@lalajobo]

yeeeeah i’m gonna get that lip set. quick ? for ya, bc sometimes things don’t translate well on screen to my eyes, is the dark brown brow pomade you used cool toned? thx Cate!😘♥️

[@catethegreatbeauty]

It’s neutral! Def more cool than warm

[@lalajobo]

@@catethegreatbeauty thank you!

Yaaayyy to Merit's new collection! Yaaayyy to Cate's pro-reproductive rights stance! Love all of it!

[@ST-rj8iu]

Is bespoke cool, neutral or warm. Asking as a cool toned red head.

[@catethegreatbeauty]

It’s 100% cool toned.

[@kristiang1870]

I don’t trust them to put out full lines in limited edition formulas lol I’m still waiting for shimmer versions of the solo shadows and those interesting translucent lip liners!

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Yes it’s never guaranteed! I loved Glacé as well!

[@lisar4904]

I need Merit to bring back Rasberry Beret noooowwwwww

[@catethegreatbeauty]

Girl they still have it!✨

[@erinalbright8838]

I love Merit, but the eyeshadow pot has completely dried up for me on the two that I have. They are unusable. They haven't been left open or anything. So while I adore everything else from Merit, I don't love the eyeshadows.

[@catethegreatbeauty]

That’s wild, as I have the entire line of shadows and they’ve all held up beautifully and remained creamy. I even got straight up when I got your comment and checked every single pot- all still super creamy and balmy. Maybe reach out to merit- that sounds odd.

[@case1962]

You might have a faulty lid seal. I've got a bunch of their shadows for some time now, and they're still perfectly creamy. Let Merit know, hopefully they'll make it right.
