Merit New Season Set Review And Swatches

I was delighted when Merit announced that they were coming out with four new shades of their Flush Balms. Having loved these blushes in the past, I wanted to try these new shades. And the Merit New Season Set is the perfect way to try all four new shades.

The Merit website says that this is “A limited edition capsule collection of four curated mini Flush Balm shades.”

Packaging Of The Merit New Season Set

The box comes with four mini Merit Flush Balms. These balms look exactly like their full sized counterparts. The cream blush pot is golden with a transparent plastic lid that allows you to see the blush inside.

Formula Of The Merit New Season Set

All Merit products are clean and EU Complaint. Also these products are Vegan and Leaping Bunny Certified. Additionally Merit products are formulated in partnership with celebrity esthetician Biba de Sousa to be safe for acne-prone skin.

Shades Included In The Merit New Season Set

• Stockholm – baby pink
• Fox – warm taupe
• Persimmon – soft orange red
• Apres – soft berry

My Experience

So far, I have loved everything I have tried from Merit and this set is no different. I love the Flush Balm shades I have and these new shades are a perfect addition to my Merit beauty collection. All four shades are pretty and perform well. On my combination skin these blushes last for 8 hours, after which they fade. The darker shades Persimmon and Apres look amazing on the lips as well. On the lips, they don’t last as long as they do on my cheeks. But that is to be expected I believe, as it is a creamy formula.

The Merit New Season Set is a nice way to try these Flush Balms. I love using these products when I want to look put together but I also want to keep things simple.

Pros

• Vegan
• Safe for acne prone skin
• You get all four new shades in this kit

Cons

• Can’t think of any
