My Review

The MERIT Beauty Shade Slick Gelées are lovely, easy to use lip products that deliver a nice hit of hydration, in a sheer, cushiony, adaptive formula. They are a sheer gloss and compared to the original MERIT Lip Oils, they are much less pigmented.

You can apply these without a mirror because they are such soft shades. They are really pretty but they don’t really offer any kind of dramatic result. They do, however, leave a light stain on the lips even when the shiny finish has gone.

In terms of a comparison to the Rare Beauty Tinted Lip Oils, they don’t leave quite as much of a stain once the gloss has gone. I find with the Rare ones, you have to be fairly precise with the application because the stain is visible, whereas I think these MERIT ones are an easier formula to chuck on. They both give a really nice juicy effect.

I think that if you are a MERIT Beauty fan, you will really like these as a lighter, less oily feeling version of the original Lip Oils.
