There are great beauty brands, and then there are the few that are downright amazing. Merit falls in the latter category. While there aren’t many products under its belt— only 12 to be exact — the brand has stolen the hearts of the beauty community in just three short years. It even has celeb fans across all generations, from Hailey Bieber and Sofia Richie-Grainge to Whitney Port, Courteney Cox, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Cameron Diaz — just to name a few. To help celebrate its third birthday, Merit Beauty started its Anniversary Event today and is offering the prettiest candle lighter case for free.
The lighter case is decked out in soft metallic gold and engraved with the brand’s name on one side and the saying “Do Less” on the other. It was originally a gift for the Merit team back in 2022 by the brand’s creative department as a reminder that “being productive also requires rest, and to add to the ritual of lighting our favorite candles,” said an Instagram post from the brand. Now, they’ve made a limited amount to share with us in honor of the brand turning three years old. It’s said to fit any standard lighter and is free with a purchase of $75 or more.
Because we want this adorably chic lighter case for ourselves, we’re adding a few things to our cart to get it. Below, shop our favorite Merit picks to snag during the Anniversary Event. But move quickly; the candle lighter case will only be available while supplies last.
Flush Balm
Of all the amazing products Merit sells, this cream blush might be the brand’s best — if not, definitely in the top three. This is Cameron Diaz’s “favorite” blush, and recently just launched in its most “natural looking” shade yet. Totally worth picking up during the Anniversary Event.
Shade Slick
Merit’s Shade Slick is such an excellent combination of pigment, gloss, and moisture wrapped up in this pretty bottle. They’re available in 12 shades — eight classic neutral hues and four “gelée” shades that feature fun glossy colors like pink and red. They’re formulated with plant-derived squalane to moisturize lips and restore suppleness, as well as quinoa seed oil that helps restore the delicate skin’s barrier function to protect against environmental stressors.
Brow 1980
Merit’s Brow 1980 Volumizing Pomade gives such a natural fluffy look to even the most sparse brows. It’s available in three neutral shades: Blond, Brown, and Soft Black.
Bronze Balm
One of the reasons why Merit is such a phenomenal brand is because they create user-friendly makeup that practically anyone can wear — from the novice to the expert. The Bronze Balm is the perfect complexion product for everyone that creates sheer to buildable color, so you won’t have to feel nervous about applying too much or too little.
The Prep Set
To make things a little easier, you can always pick up one of Merit’s Sets. They offer seven different options, each with excellent products that make doing your makeup much more effortless. The Prep Set includes Great Skin, a hydrating serum that provides an instant glow to your base layer; The Minimalist, a complexion stick that gives just the right amount of coverage where you need it; and Brush No. 1, which does it all for your face. And with this set, it’s guaranteed you’ll get your free lighter case.
