Hey fam! Today I’m excited to share with you guys Merit Beauty, a new clean beauty brand by Katherine Power, now available at Sephora! It’s designed to be a minimalist makeup routine, currently featuring a capsule of 6 products (I’m using 5 today), and I’m giving you my HONEST thoughts about these products having had the chance to play with them for a couple of weeks now. Stay tuned to the end for my final thoughts!

Hope you'll try their brow pomade in the future! I'm super curious how it compares to Boy Brow
That lip colour on you. Phenomenal.
I’ve been seeing that bag so much on my Instagram ads! Now it’s all clicking
Does the highlighter wear like a regular cream highlighter?
I haven't made it far into the video at all yet.. but how absolutely beautiful and classic is the packaging?
Every demo/review I've seen on this foundation and highlighter just looks so fresh and glowy! I dig it👌
Welcome to New Jersey, Kackie. If you get the chance to get into NYC, I’d highly recommend Erin McKenna’s Bakery. I have celiac disease, and her treats are the only thing that keep me from plunging into the sad, gluten free void. I’m also a vegan, and all her stuff is vegan. There’s also a Credo store in the city, but I’m sure you know that.
You look so pretty! I am going between Westman and Merit! Which is your favorite?
Thank you so much for this! I have been thinking of purchasing and now this makes me want to try not only All The Merit, but All The Versed as well. As soon as The Big Thaw happens I will how thyself to Thine Local Target. Thank you sweetie!
You could mix that highlighter stick with a powder blush or bronzer to make a cream.
I've been in TX for 35 yrs, I have never seen anything like this. It was so bad. My town didn't have power or water. I am glad you got the heck outta TX when you did. <3
The way you talk about Simon absolutely melts my heart. You are such a wonderful mom!!
Love this clean look on you!
Another amazing product review from the stunning Kackie. 👏
How would you rate the Merit foundation stick versus the Westman Atelier one? Per gram, Merit is significantly more than Westman and the packaging isn't as luxe. Just curious how you'd choose between them or if you wouldn't try to equate them.
love this vid ❤️
Trying to convince myself I don't need this highlighter now lol
Instantly bought the highlighter!
Can you do a comparison of the Merit and Westman Atelier?
How does this highlighter compare to the ilia?
All very lovely, Kackie. Thanks!
I’m getting the highlighting balm now, but I’m also interested in the minimalist, lip oil, & blush. Right now, I’m using lily lolo cream foundations, and alima pure cream concealers, so if I hit pan with what I have it might push off getting the minimalist. If these cream products expire before I hit pan, I’ll go for the minimalist next, but wait for a discount. I’ll get the lip oil and blush later in the year, for sure.
The merit stick seems to separate on my dry spots and the only solution I’ve found is priming my face with a face oil which i never use. Anyone have any good beauty oil recommendations?
I wanted to make an order just to get that bag, so I had to come back to your video to see if we can justify this purchase 🙃
love it
What concealer did you use in this video? I didn't hear you mention the brand. Thanks.
Before Thrive, what was your go-to mascara??
I’ve really been enjoying your content! ✨ thank you for your thoughtful reviews.
How does this line compare to Jones Road? I am looking at buying from these two lines. Is there one product you prefer over the other from each line?
The entire look is so beautiful ❤️
This might be the most beautiful lip color I’ve seen on you yet
Something about the blush application makes me feel uneasy lol.
Wow you have the most perfect teeth!
Did you ever get another Merit Complexion stick? Did you go with Dune or Silk?
I wish I could get tubing mascara to work. I dont know what I am doing wrong. I tried several . I have very very thin lashes and they are light . this mascara I actually liked and it didnt irritate my eyes. But i am not a professional
I just finally tried this brand and came back to this video to see if it was considered “tubing” mascara bc as a “non tubing mascara lover” I do not like how it washes off either 😅 I use cleansing balm or oil and it didn’t quite work bc it requires the water so I get some of it off but still have chunks on my lashes and it’s super frustrating for me. I’d rather have a normal formula the melts with cleansing balm/oil 😅❤️
What brush are you using?
Brand and type of brush pls :D?
Can you recommend the best 'skin prep' for this 5 min/minimal make up routine? (e.g. just moisturizer and/or primer).
