If you haven’t noticed, we’re huge fans of Merit here at PureWow. From several of our editors trying out the Minimalist Perfecting complexion stick ($38), to our beauty editor giving an in-depth review of the popular Flush Balm ($30), we’ve gotten hooked on how the line streamlines our get-ready routines with consistently high-quality products. So, when we heard the brand launched new limited-edition sets of its best-sellers—and that they're on sale—we couldn't gatekeep. Ten different sets are present in the lineup, including my personal faves, The Archival set ($74; $52), which features three lippies inspired by the Flush Balm, The Mini Great skin trio ($52; $39), an essential set that will definitely level up your skincare game and The Mini Flush Balm trio ($54; $39), plus more.

Keep reading for the full details, and find out how you can grab ‘em before they’re all gone.

At the top of my list is this Archival set, which features three lip essentials that, per the brand, are inspired by the Flush Balm. This includes the Signature Lip Lightweight lip blush, the Signature Lip Sheer lip liner and the Shade Slick Sheen, all in the color cool mauve. As you can see from the photos at the link, the shade flatters a wide range of skin tones, and the set contains everything you need to perfect your pout (and keep it moisturized while doing so). 

Merit excels at offering kits that provide everything you need to tackle a specific aspect of your beauty routine, and its foray into skincare is no different. With bottles that look as chic—and sleek—as luxury perfume, they're worthy of putting on display, but better yet, they're a full skincare routine in three steps: Great Skin double cleanser, the Great Skin serum and the Great Skin moisturizer. All in TSA-friendly sizes to boot.

In case you needed an extra incentive to add the Flush Balm to your cart, one of our editors called the formula "completely customizable for a subtle or dramatic look." She elaborates in her review that "the Flush Balm is the real deal. It gives you flexibility to rock a subtle or dramatic look, while being comfortable on the skin and easy to blend with just my finger. I appreciate its multi-use function, and I can foresee myself continuing to use it in my daily routine." There are three limited-edition shades included in this pack (Post Modern, Le Bon Bon and Redux), so I would scoop this up ASAP if I were you.
