You have no idea how helpful this video has been! Thank you so much!

Such a compressive review, thank you for all of the swatches! I have ordered the WA lipstick, I wish you had affiliate link as well.. but in the future, when I make a Merit order will be happy to use your code!

[@isabelhoyos9581]

Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m a very small channel so my affiliate links are very limited. I appreciate your encouraging words. Have a great weekend!

Well, Merit is not available in Spain, so out of the two, WA is my only option, but who knows? Maybe one day they'll decide to ship to continental Europe. Also, WA is not available in our local Sephora, so for us it's either blind buy or blind buy 😂 So yeah, that in-store swatch will be much appreciated! For those who have to blind buy and can't use Merit as colour reference, Piqué sits right in between Lisa Eldridge's Velvet Fawn and Velvet Muse. It's browner than Fawn and cooler than Muse. It's also in between Charlotte Tilbury's Very Victoria and Pillowtalk Medium. Again, a smidge more brown than VV and less red than PTM.

I called all of my local Sephora and none have the WA lipsticks in store. Only online still. I hope Merit makes it to Spain soon. I know they recently expanded in the UK. So hopefully Spain is next.

I’ve got my eye of BFG from the WA line they look beautiful ❤

[@isabelhoyos9581]

Yes that one is beautiful. It was really hard just to pick one because this is a refillable case. So I hope she gives us those refills soon because there are definitely more color I want 🩶

I accidentally deleted my comment, and I'm wondering if there's a way to get it back.

[@isabelhoyos9581]

Not that I know of, sorry 😢 I can’t even find in my feed. I think once you delete it’s gone

@@isabelhoyos9581 I just rewatched this video. When I swatched Baby on my lips, it thoroughly washed me out, and I looked dead. I suspect it's the lavender color. Pique seems darker and like it would be a better choice. By the way, Niche Beauty accidentally canceled my order, so I still need to get my hands on these lipsticks. I have several of the same makeup items as you do, and they look warmer on me; for example, Biscuit from WA looks warmer. Trying to figure out this skin tone versus undertone has been really challenging. I believe I'm warm-ish olive with cool-toned, pigmented lips. Pretty weird, right?

[@isabelhoyos9581]

@@anafeller4069 yes, it’s took me year to figure out my undertone. I have a very neutral undertone with a bit of yellow. I really hope you are able to get a color you like. I think Pique is much more a neutral pinky brown.

@@isabelhoyos9581 Thank you, I'll let you know when I do!

[@cosmicwoman8044]

I didnt like the WA lips the colors are so opaque. I like a sheer or a semi sheer lips

[@isabelhoyos9581]

Agreed, they way more dramatic
