Yes pick this baby up "No Pun intended"
My absolute FAVORITE shade out of the Merit family. The formula is super hydrating and adds this sheen that I have yet to see in the other shades. Its the perfect shade to wear year round...

I am in the habit of buying too many brown 90s shades, but this is perfect. I had to do some serious haunting when my OG fave was discontinued but this has taken me right out of mourning. Brown without being too dark and a great feel. I am warm-fair with auburn hair, and this really compliments someone with a fall color analysis type.

Great product but drying
I’m almost done with my lipstick tube and that’s because I also use it as a blush. It’s a beautiful color but despite claims that it hydrates, my lips does tend to dry out with this lipstick. Be sure to exfoliate before using. I find myself scrubbing my lips after wearing this lipstick for sometime. It doesn’t last long but I don’t mind reapplying.

Wears off quick!
I expected more from this lipstick. The colour is lovely and I do love the way it looks when applied, but colour doesn’t last.

The First Lipstick Close to Finishing
Comfortable, easy to wear, and gives me a lipstick look without overwhelming my face.
I'm a pale olive with colorful hair. Until this lip, I tended to prefer something that dried down completely and locked if it was pigmented. This has totally won me over to more comfortable but less bulletproof formulas. I can put this on and reapply without a mirror.
The color (1990) is a warm brown on me without going orange. Warmer than the NYX gloss in Cinnamon Roll, but not too much. I tend to wear it with Mac Stone or Greige liners. I also love using this as a cream blush for a monochromatic look.
I bought this in April of 2022, arrived in May. As of September 2026, I'm getting very close to where the remaining lipstick is below the line. i can't recall any other lipstick I've gotten this far with in 15 years of wearing makeup regularly.

Very pretty reddish brown color. It’s hydrating but I wish it had more staying power.

Not good
The colour is different from the picture. More of a pink than peach. Very light and fades quickly.
