Hi guys! I have included affiliated links for EU, UK and US purchases. I got a lot of questions on where to buy the items locally. Anyway, don't feel pressured. This video is if you are looking to buy but waiting for a sale. I hope you enjoy the video! Video is all natural lighting and no filter btw. In case you were wondering about the color match. ❤
Refillable compacts without the required refills are in result NOT refillable. Considering we are talking years of these "refillable" products being sold I'd argue they don't want you to refill. They just want you to think they care and give them your money accordingly
Yes! This! I too am frustrated. So far I have only seen the lip palette refills. But since the product and technology is there.... what are they waiting for? Other than just getting our money? But I hope one day they see reason.
@WestmanAtelier, please send Sonia PR, she always talks about your brand, it's good for you, your brand, good for Sonia, but also good for us, because she can explain it soooo super good!!!👍👍🤩🤩
I think imma buy the eyepods this year because there was always a shade I didn’t care for in the sets except this one and everyone complained about the pigment or immediate crease + lack of longevity of them. For $88 even at a 20% discount, I demand perfection from WA. Hearing ppl say that this reformulation is an upgrade is good news for me to try it out. The lipsticks are worth it, I always prep my lips with a a little scrub + thin layer of balm and I never wry about it drying.
The eyepods in toujours are getting good use on my part! Something about the pod system that I have always enjoyed. This is also the perfect color story. The lippie is also getting way more use then expensive. WA actually surprised me this year! I hope the eye pods will pleasantly surprise you as well
I love WA. Your videos convinced me a few yrs back to spend the money on her line and I do not regret it. Like I rewatched them a bunch of times for research. I love how detailed you are with her products and I truly appreciate your raw opinions on them. So don’t wry about the length of your videos 😂.
Hahha OK! I myself consume a lot of YT and don't like watching hour long videos (except declutters) so I think I'm just making content I would want to watch myself. Thank you though, I sometimes forget that there are people that don't mind the longer style videos. I shouldn't be insecure about it❤️
I have the Petite Fete set and the Lipstick set. So far, I have tried the Petite Fete, and I can confirm it's awesome. The blush is almost a little metallic, with purple undertones but some gold in there as well. I have yet to try the Lipstick trio because I'm not sure I want to keep it. I have one lipstick from WA in Pique, and it dries out my lips terribly. I wish Merit shipped to Europe; I would really like to try that brand.
So far have loved the few merit products I tried. I asked the brand to send me a few items for review🙈 I never do this btw.... I just.... wanted to try them so bad! Haha As for the set? The fete set will be mine for sure! I love the mascara and the blush looks beautiful. I also like the petite sizes. It's the one I am eyeing. The lipstick it's not the most nourishing. But I can't lie...I like it. Won't be an everyday love. But I enjoyed it immensely
Love the minis! I want more minis and less big ones both in price but also in terms of my collection being such a large one. Blushes are simply beautiful!
I really like the highlighter and contour sticks from Westman Atelier and thank you so much for this video. I have been going back and forth on the pink highlighter compact and one of the lipsticks, but the red lip suedes palette I bought when it came out, smells vile now and is very difficult to apply. I paid so much money for it and now it smells horrible.
It's unfortunate that this happens often with clean formulas. But it hasn't happened with my old peau de peche that's still going strong. If only they started to roll out on these refills from the Highlighter gaahhh
Good! It’s a buyers guide so it’s made to inspire and spend wisely! I love being able to play with my older products. The bronzer for example is such a good one. Forgot about it over time. I’m hoping that these guides help people during sale season.
Owh no! This is why I have a preference for tubing mascaras. No smudging. This one doesn't run on me, but it's very tedious to remove. But I like this mascara a whole lot better than the eye love you Mascara. Hated that thing! I think for a buildable experience this is actually pretty good. But indeed for waterproof girlie's in the world, a skip!
I love all your Westman videos!! I really want to try the concealer and will have to go back and watch your review on that. I also want to try the lipstick you are wearing but I'm afraid it would be too matte. I wondering if it will work better on me if I put a little of the lip closes on top. My favorite is the warm rose in the Les Nudes palette. Do you think those colors are similar at all? I wish she sold the warm rose shade on it's own haha 😊♥
Owhh warm rose is deeper in color actually. more Rosewood in tone. This one surprised me how light it is. This has more pink. They could be sisters but no... I wouldn't call them dupes. The lipsticks do feel drying and I wear a gloss on the bottom and on top. Coz it's a Suede matte it's not the worst I have ever felt. However it's not the most comfortable experience either for gloss lovers. So I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to feel the dryness. I do wear mine a lot regardless. I'm simply enjoying the color and application more than expected. I guess I expected it to be super dry, so they are better than expected
Do you find that you can't get the concealer out of the bottle after a while? I've been really using mine since launch and I started not to get any more out of the bottle. I had to pry out the stopper (which then makes it a huge mess) and there's a TON of product... at least for me there seems to be a fault of the applicator/dispenser where the concealer is a little too thick or something.
I haven't reached that stage yet! But the gloss with a similar packaging has the same problem. So I wouldn't be surprised that the concealer faces this issue as well!
I like the suede matte lipstick in terms of formula but the shade range… isn’t good in my opinion? Either I’ve already got certain shades and I don’t know if some would look good on me as I’m cool toned. I wish they would expand the shade range soon. Surprised that you said the Lisa Eldridge mattes were really drying - I think out of all the matte lipsticks I’ve tried they’re the least drying. Mac is probably the most. Lisa’s True Velvets certainly have some gorgeous unique shades that I don’t see in the Westman Atelier range.
The velvet from LE are a unique formula and I love them. But they are dry on my lips. I'm comparisons these are less dry. The old mattes formulas from a decade ago are insanely dry. So I'm trying to make new age comparisons. New technology on these mattes are really well done. These btw are dry on my lips as well as with any Matte. But they slide on like butter.

I bought the blush trio.. use them on my eyes, lips and of course cheeks… all the colors are very wearable and look absolutely beautiful
Some of the best blushes imo. I love them. Mimi is my ride or die! So happy you enjoy them as well
She did a really good job for this years Holiday sets. I love the colors ❤
Such a good job! That fete set is such a good starter set! Blushes are hella popular and I expected to hate the lipstick ...but I don't!

Very thorough review as always. One of the best. Hoping you’re doing well ❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm doing well! I hope you are well as well! Thanks so much girl!
Loved this video and those blushes are the best! I’ve got 4 of the mini blushes, 2 mini highlighters and 1 mini contour ❤
Love the minis! I want more minis and less big ones both in price but also in terms of my collection being such a large one. Blushes are simply beautiful!
Super good video, dear Sonia, super explanation about Westman Atelier!!! Hope you're doing well, sending you lots of love!!!😘😘😘😘
Thank you my dear friend! I am so happy it was helpful again! So grateful to you always!
I got all holiday sets on the Saphora sale 20% off & the brush set😊😮
Wowwwww what a good Haul! I am am so jealous you got the brush set. I have never tried the brushes. They're on my list
Peau de Peony looks beautiful on you!
Not to sound arrogant... but I know! Haha I was surprised coz the cool tones usually don't look good. But it gave me winter makeup vibes! I loved it

great summary! you make me want to use what I have and buy more. But I'll start with using what I have. =)
Good! It’s a buyers guide so it’s made to inspire and spend wisely! I love being able to play with my older products. The bronzer for example is such a good one. Forgot about it over time. I’m hoping that these guides help people during sale season.
Thank you for this beautiful and useful video! 👏
I'm so happy it was helpful! ❤️❤️❤️
Petite Fete is beautiful! The mascara does run on me but i have extremely watery eyes and most mascaras do unless they are waterproof
Owh no! This is why I have a preference for tubing mascaras. No smudging. This one doesn't run on me, but it's very tedious to remove. But I like this mascara a whole lot better than the eye love you Mascara. Hated that thing! I think for a buildable experience this is actually pretty good.

@@sonia.butler good to know, do you find certain shades better than others? I was tempted by Ma Biche.
Also have you reviewed any Merit lipsticks?
