For a while, I've wanted a Merit lipstick, but I could never decide on a shade. I was excited when this drop released on iris. Du Jour is an exquisite, naturally occurring pink "lip blush" that is both pleasant and subtle. Bespoke is the ideal shade of brown nude, slightly pink, and not overly dark. These are both fairly bare. Since black is the darkest colour, I haven't worn black tie yet, but I will most certainly wear it to a party. All in all, I'm completely smitten with these formulas and hues.
