Is MERIT legit?
Short answer: yes, MERIT is a real store, and our score is 3.5 out of 5. The main caveat: Trustpilot rating of 2.3 from about 100 reviews.
It sells complexion, cheek, lip and brow makeup, fragrance and sets through its own website, meritbeauty.com. Public ratings: Trustpilot (meritbeauty.com) 2.3 (101). Returns: Exchanges or full refunds within 30 days; shipping isn't refunded.
Our take: legitimate, but read the downsides below before you buy.
Quality
MERIT's 101 Trustpilot reviews average 2.3. Reviewers like the blush, mascara and sunscreen; some report irritation, damaged items or products that dried out.
Price and value
Single products cost about $24 to $38, and most sets were below their regular price, such as The Essentials Set at $88 instead of $100.
Shipping and returns
Your first order ships free; after that, US orders under $45 pay $8. Exchanges or full refunds are available within 30 days, but shipping isn't refunded. Reviewers report orders marked delivered that never arrived.
Customer service
The profile is unclaimed. Reviewers describe slow replies and refunds that are hard to get, though some had issues resolved quickly. MERIT is also sold at Sephora.
