Merit's ‘five minute routine' make-up kit for glowy skin gets axed by £30 in rare deal
The beauty brand known for its simplistic, multi-tasking, and skincare-infused products has released a handy 'five-minute' makeup set that promises to cover every essential in your morning routine, allowing you to do your full face in a matter of minutes.
Stocked with seven must-have products from complexion to brows to lips, this set is now up for grabs for a nifty £30 less than its original price, thanks to Merit's summer sale.
The five-minute morning routine includes everything you need to get ready in five minutes, including seven of Merit's best-sellers.
The iconic Meritc Perfecting Complexion Stick, a best-seller touted as the perfect replacement for foundation and concealer, is included in the bundle. Promising natural, medium coverage that can be built up, this stick makes it quick and easy to get that perfect complexion that looks like your skin but better. In a darker shade, this stick can also be used as a precision contour stick. This stick would normally sell for £34 alone.
Elsewhere in the set is the flush balm, a creamy blush that's set to create a healthy, rosy glow to your skin, mimicking a natural, subtle flush across your skin. Applied with a brush, sponge, or your fingers, this cream blush can also be used on your lips and eyes, thanks to its versatile formula. The flush balm sells for £26 when purchased solo.
The five-minute makeup routine kit also features Merit's daylight highlighting balm, a cream highlighter that comes in a similar stick to the complexion product. This allows for precise and targeted application, making it a dream to apply on the bridge of your nose or your eyelids. Not too bright or glittery, this highlighting stick provides a lit-from-within glow and sells for £28 when bought separately.
The set also includes Merit's lip tint oil, perfect for creating a wash of colour over your lips without wanting lipstick. It's super easy to reapply throughout the day, and its skincare-infused formula treats your lips to some R&R with every wear.
Merit also includes its clean lash mascara, which provides naturally enhanced lashes without a clumpy or spider-leg finish. Perfect for chucking on as you head out the door, this mascara is simple and easy, ensuring your eye makeup is complete without too much hassle.
Elsewhere in the bundle is Merit's brow pomade, which promises to keep your preferred brow style in place all day long, without hours of carving and drawing, thanks to its easy applicator.
The set includes a Merit makeup brush, which is handy for completing your complexion without the need for dozens of different brushes or sponges.
Perfect for applying with your hands or your go-to makeup equipment, this five-minute routine ensures you're up and ready to go within minutes. It simplifies your beauty routine with seven easy-to-use and versatile products.
Right now, beauty buffs can save a whopping £30 on this makeup bundle, which is on sale for £ 155. But act fast, as there's no telling how long this deal will last.

Our Beauty Writer Swears By This Glow Giving SPF For Summer
Summer always ushers in a line-up of make-up essentials that speak to a new climate and the beauty problems that come with it. For me, the question of a bullet-proof base comes into play. When the heatwave begin to hit and my foundation starts to slip, I opt for a lightweight, breathable base that provides subtle coverage and maximum comfort. I look for built in sun protection, too. Which is why tinted sunscreens have become my newest obsession. This category of skincare and make-up hybrids have exploded of late thanks to their glowy, healthy-looking, 'clean girl' finish. In the last few months alone we have seen Merit's The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50, the Supergoop! Protec Daily SPF Tint SPF 50, £40, and Beauty of Joseon's Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen, £17, hard launch onto our social media feeds. But my newest skin glossing fixation comes courtesy of the new Jones Road's Everyday Sunscreen, £40. It may have taken legendary make-up artist and beauty brand founder, Bobbi Brown, a number of years to develop, but like many of Jones Road's offerings, it was certainly worth the wait. We have already declared our love for the brand's very first Just Enough Tinted Moisturiser, and the next of Jones Road's firsts follows suit with a product that reinvents mineral sunscreens for the better. Speaking about her newest innovation, Brown explains, 'Everyday Sunscreen took many years to develop. I had to make sure that not only was it clean and effective but that it also paired incredibly well with make-up. It needed to look natural, layer well, and not leave a dry or uncomfortable finish. This is my new ideal base for everyday protection, and works perfectly with all of my Jones Road make-up.' There has been much debate about the pros and cons of using sunscreens that provide protection through chemical filters or mineral filters, but Brown saw fit to hone in on the latter which uses zinc oxide to build a physical sun protection. But before you ask about the notorious natural white cast mineral sunscreens leave on darker skin tones, note that Brown has done her due diligence here too - she's included colour-correcting pigments in each tinted shade to offset any ashy, grey finish. Another characteristic of mineral sunscreens that Jones Road has sought to correct if the overall feel. Usually thicker and pastier than chemical sunscreens, the Everyday Sunscreen has flipped the script on mineral SPFs with a texture that ups the comfort factor. It is lightweight, smooth and glides over to reveal a lit-from-within sheen on the skin. Meaning there is no pilling, sliding, or heavy-feeling in sight. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I tend to sit on the chemical filter side of the sunscreen debate, purely based on the fact that I favour a lightweight, undetectable SPF that leaves my skin without a trace of ashy discolouration. And, the fact that, while mineral sunscreens have their benefits (they are great for sensitive skin and the environment), I haven't found one that doesn't leave my skin feeling weighed down. That was until I tried Jones Road Everyday Sunscreen. I'm not saying it's the lightest SPF I've used - it needs to be worked into the skin - but after some light massage it glides over like butter leaving you glossy and never greasy. It looks (and feels) totally traceless. As for make-up? It pairs beautifully, there's no caking my skin looks more radiant. That said, the SPF leaves my skin so perfected and glowy I sometimes even forgo foundation altogether. It's a win-win.' 1. Jones Road Everyday Sunscreen What the brand says: 'Everyday Sunscreen is a broad spectrum mineral SPF 30 for daily sun protection that pairs perfectly with make-up. Each tinted shade contains color-correcting pigments to help offset white cast, a natural result of the physical sun protection that zinc oxide provides, for a natural finish. Lightweight and smooth, it's the ideal base for make-up.' What we know: Years in the making, Jones Road seems to have cracked all our pet peeves with mineral sunscreens, read: a heavy finish and white cast on medium to deep skin tones. The Jones Road Everyday Sunscreen seems to correct all those wrongs with a formula that leaves skin looking so good you could forgo foundation. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I tend to sit on the chemical filter side of the sunscreen debate, purely based on the fact that I favour a lightweight, undetectable SPF that leaves my skin without a trace of ashy discolouration. And, the fact that, while mineral sunscreens have their benefits (they are great for sensitive skin and the environment), I haven't found one that doesn't leave my skin feeling weighed down. That was until I tried Jones Road Everyday Sunscreen. I'm not saying it's the lightest SPF I've used, it doesn't run down my fingers like my go-to and it needs to be worked into the skin, but once you apply some minimum effort it glides over like butter leaving you glossy, never greasy, and looks (and feels) totally traceless. As for make-up? Mines sits atop like a treat, sans caking and helps to boost overall radiance, but the SPF leaves my skin so perfected I sometimes even forgo foundation. It's a win-win.'
