    Honestly, appreciate this review so much!

    Love and appreciate your honesty. ❤Everyone online raved about the serum so I kept testing it in store. I never understood the hype. I agree with your thoughts across the board.

    • @DanaRipperton

      Thanks for sharing!! I realize I may be in the minority here but I’d hate people to spend all this money on a sub-par product 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Their eyeshadows and lipsticks (matte and satin) are holy grail for me. I’ve never found better in my 10 years of testing products. I wholeheartedly agree about the complexion stick - I’ve had 4 and I keep trying to force them to work. I’m 24 and never had issues with my pores before but they looked SO HUGE with the complexion stick. For as dry as it is, it doesn’t last on my skin for more than 2 hours. I like the NYX stick concealer better and it has more color options (the Merit stick is too dark for me in both of the lightest shades). I love their blush colors but they are so greasy and don’t last on the skin. Before I leave my house in the AM it seems like they’re gone already!

    • @DanaRipperton
      @DanaRipperton  5 месяцев назад

      Yes, agreed with all of this!!!

      I like the complexion stick but use the Covergirl stick concealer works just as well at a better price.

    I agree, I’ve tried to make the complexion stick work on my oily skin and it brings out dry patches that I didn’t even know I had! I did give the new matte lipsticks a try this week and it’s a great formula.

    The squirt of the Merit serum annoyed me enough that I've basically stopped using it...I put on my makeup after I get dressed and I don't need an oil stain on my work clothes! I also have had the same experiences with the complexion stick, looks terrible to okay at best so I'm just trying to use it up....I wish I'd seen your reviews first, because other youtubers seem to love everything and have no criticisms!

    • @DanaRipperton
      @DanaRipperton  5 месяцев назад +1

      I never understood how people went on and on about EVERY product from the brand. I think that is so disingenuous. It’s ok to like some but not all.

  • @SarahRipley-ph2er

    Hello! Thank you for your review! I have the same problem with the complexion stick as well- what product do you recommend as an alternative?

    • @DanaRipperton
      @DanaRipperton  2 месяца назад

      I don’t really like complexion sticks in general so I just use a skin tint or foundation

  • @experiencingbeauty8687
    @experiencingbeauty8687 5 месяцев назад +1

    I have found that the only way the Merit complexion stick works for me is not over ANY sunscreen and using my fingers to blend, so certainly not an ideal product. The only product I love from Merit is the cream blush. I'd like to try the mascara someday. Thanks for this review!

    • @DanaRipperton
      @DanaRipperton  5 месяцев назад +1

      Same! It does work somewhat ok for me without anything, but that's not practical for me and not a way I would ever wear it. The blushes are really nice too!

  • @martasoltys9091

    Can you review the Sisley concealer? I hated it when I first bought it, but it really does crease the least of all concealers I've tried (about 20). But, the older I get the more I feel concealer actually makes me look older.

    • @DanaRipperton

      I don’t really do a ton of makeup-only reviews these days, and have my favorite concealers, so unfortunately I won’t be able to review that

  • @wilddaisies1067
    @wilddaisies1067 2 месяца назад

    That only happens to me if I use too much product. I use just a bit and use their brush in circular motions . I also have oily skin. I love merit but know that it’s not for everyone 😊

    • @DanaRipperton
      @DanaRipperton  2 месяца назад

      I have tried it in every way, it just doesn’t work for me

  • @nursemallorey

    Also…the amount of brow gel they give you is robbery. It’s about half as much as you get in ELF’s tinted brow gel!

  • @amyberg1044

    I really wanted to love Merit. The complexion stick was awful. I threw it away. The blush and brush was just okay. Mascara is good but not blown away by it. Lipstick is good. I stopped there because nothing was really exciting me. Bummer because the colors are great. Formulation is mostly average. Definitely not worth the price.

    I think it might be your sunscreen.

    • @DanaRipperton
      @DanaRipperton  Месяц назад

      I’ve tried it without. I’ve tried it with many different sunscreens. It just doesn’t work with my skin

  • @LadyShanghai-wj1kh

    It’s your sunscreen.

    • @DanaRipperton

      Nope, ive tried the complexion stick every single way with no products underneath and with type types underneath. Never works for me.

    I love love the merit mascara.
    The brush is the softest one I’ve ever had 🤍
