As a huge fan of MERIT’s original Signature Lip Lightweight Lipstick, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on their matte formula. Mostly, because I had a feeling – before even seeing the line up – that the shade selection would be intriguing. And I wasn’t wrong.

Many of their pieces have gone on to be regular features in my weekly outfits, and there’s rarely a new collection launch that goes by where I don’t covet at least a handful of items. Which is funny, given my very first shopping experience was a bit of a disaster. At this point, I’ve probably tried close to 100 of their designs, so have become familiar with what to expect, and what I do (and don’t) like for my personal wardrobe. So I thought…
