Variant: Freckle
- “The Rhode pocket blush in Freckle is peachy pink. It feels very much to me like swatch it against the Merit. This one is Rhode and then this one is the Merit and Beverly Hills”17:02–17:13

- Source: My 2025 Makeup Favourites - Dec 14, 2025

- Source: My 2025 Makeup Favourites - Dec 14, 2025
Variant: Beverly Hills
- “The Merit Signature Lip Liner in Beverly Hills is great. It has so much slip you could apply it all over your lips as a lip color”35:05–35:12
- “It hasn't got a lot of longevity. It's not the kind of product you put on in the morning and it's still there at night”35:19–35:22

- Source: My 2025 Makeup Favourites - Dec 14, 2025
- “The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze is brilliant. It is so good. It gets gloopy, sure, it kind of gets yellow and gross and gloopy. I buy them in bulk. I'm probably changing them every like 3 4 months or so”20:54–21:00
- “I am trying a new thing where I put it on first. I think that is helping this to last longer before it gets gross”21:11–21:15
- Source: My 2025 Makeup Favourites - Dec 14, 2025
- “The KJH.Brand nano set brow gel is really nice. The amount of product is tiny, but the brush is also tiny and it's been really really good at sandwiching brows down”21:58–22:08
- “I predict this could be a favorite for next year, but it's only come into my life in the last like 2 weeks, so I can't really say anything there”22:13–22:18
- Source: My 2025 Makeup Favourites - Dec 14, 2025

- Source: My 2025 Makeup Favourites - Dec 14, 2025
Variant: 22M Cashew

- “Some people say they crease, but on me I don't find them particularly creasy”23:34–23:38
- “It's a product I pitched to Emily Wise many moons ago. It's like moody eyes and Armani just went with it”23:51–23:54

- Source: My 2025 Makeup Favourites - Dec 14, 2025
Variant: Midcentury
- “The Merit solo shadow in mid-century is a relatively dry product. You need to make sure it clicks closed properly or it will dry out”
- “My product definitely has got drier but I still like it”
- Source: My 2025 Makeup Favourites - Dec 14, 2025
- “This is my fave mascara and it is from Beauty Pie. It is their perfect waterproof mascara”28:40–28:47
- “I have to do waterproof mascaras because otherwise the curl doesn't hold. Waterproof formulas have more oil than water so they hold the curl”28:47–28:54
- “I apply it and then go through with a spoolie or a Tweezerman lash comb to brush the excess out”29:19–29:24
- “I want them to look fluttery and natural, not clumped up”29:22–29:28

- “Someone has told me the L'Oreal Telescopic Waterproof Mascara is back. That was my favorite for many years back in the day, 16 years ago”27:09–27:12

- “It'll be interesting to see if I still like it because my lash taste has changed”27:40–27:45
- Source: My 2025 Makeup Favourites - Dec 14, 2025
Variant: Alaska
- “Last year's favorite was the Nars Radiant Tinted Moisturizer. I used the shade Alaska. I still love this”4:29–4:39
- “It's great for like the first 6 months of this year. This is all I used”4:39–4:47
- “It's very natural. It's kind of like a gel-like finish. It's not super liquidy. It's quite like creamy gel-like”4:47–4:51
- “Put it on with your fingers. Put it on with a brush”4:53–4:57
- “If I put it on with a brush, I use the Westminatellier blender brush. Please don't look at how dirty my one is”4:55–5:00
