My Review of MERIT Beauty Shade Slick

I love a lip oil and the formula of these ones is really lovely. The inclusion of Rosehip Oil, Jojoba Oil and Shea make it super moisturising and comforting, and they are great to throw in your handbag for top ups during the day.
It isn’t sticky or heavy and feels really light and comfy on the lips. The shades give the lips a light long lasting stain, so once the shine has gone, my lips still look healthy and like I still have something on.

I really like the packaging, and the small angled doe-foot makes application really easy. Lovely!
I have also swatched all the MERIT Beauty Flush Balm blushes, so make sure you check those out.
