I know I've made jokes about this, but have you ever noticed sometimes the longer you take to get ready in a weird way, the worse you end up looking?

Sometimes we look our best when we just have a five-minute makeup routine.

We don't dwell on it and we're on to bigger and better things.

And that's why I like Merritt Beauty.

Merit is a minimalist beauty brand that makes elevated makeup and skincare design to help you look put together

in minutes. It is easy and you always look and feel chic and effortless. Merritt's best

sellers are proof that less really is more. And if you're having a no makeup day, it's no problem

because Merritt's great skin serum is all you need. It instantly hydrates and plumps for a fresh

dewy look. And hey,

if you're like me and you're not really into makeup, you're going to love Merritt's signature

lip, lightweight lip blush because it goes on mat, which makes it feel and look more like

a berry stain, more like your lips are just kind of like that versus constantly reapplying

a liner and a glossy

lip and overlining and underlining. It's just a little pat of that lightweight lip blush and you're

good to go. Oh my god, were you kissing a cherry? Maybe I was. I throw one of those in my purse and I

keep one in the car for when I just need a pop of color and I, key phrase, don't want to think too much about it.

Right now, Merritt Beauty is offering our listeners their signature makeup bag with your first

order at Meritbeautcom.
