Merit and Messina Are Popping Up This Weekend With Free Scoops and Exclusive Sets

When Merit arrived in Australia, it promised impossible-to-mess-up make-up and hard-working skincare. Its Flush Balms swipe on a dewy pigment and the complexion stick – perfectly named The Minimalist – sticks to the less-is-more vibe. Now, the brand is teaming up with Messina, offering fruity, creamy flavours for free all weekend.

On Saturday December 13 and Sunday December 14, Messina and Merit will pop up in Bondi then Paddington, with four bespoke scoops inspired by the fave Flush Balm shades.

A vegan blood orange sorbet leans into the peachy-hued Le Bonbon; a pear and rhubarb option gives the warmth of Fox; the crunchy macadamia serve gives the pared-back browns of Terracotta; and the soft pink of Beverly Hills is sweet as strawberries and cream.

An exclusive set of the four Flush Balms will be available to shop online or via QR code on the day, too.

Find the pop-up near North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club on Saturday December 13, and near The Intersection on Paddington’s Glenmore Road on Sunday December 14, from 11am till sold out.
