My Rate : 10/10🍋 and 9/10 🍋

2024/1/26 Edited to

... Read moreAfter using up my Summer Fridays Butter Lip Balms and giving them such high ratings – 10/10 for Brown Sugar and 9/10 for Pink Sugar – I really wanted to dive deeper into why I consider Summer Fridays a truly 'good brand.' It's not just about one amazing product; it’s about their whole approach to beauty that consistently delivers. First off, the clean beauty aspect is a huge win for me. Summer Fridays is known for creating products with thoughtful ingredients, free from parabens, phthalates, and other nasties. This commitment to 'clean' doesn't compromise on efficacy or luxury, which is quite impressive. When I apply these lip balms, I feel good knowing what's going on my lips. Plus, their minimalist yet chic packaging always looks great on my vanity – it’s a small detail, but it adds to the overall premium experience. Let's talk more about these specific lip balms, especially since I've used up two tubes! The Brown Sugar shade, my perfect 10/10, gives such a beautiful, subtle tint. It’s like my lips, but better, with a warm, cozy hue. The Pink Sugar is also lovely, offering a lighter, fresh pop of color. The OCR mentioned *arm swatches*, and that's exactly how you can see the difference: a slightly darker brown sugar shade and a *lighter pink sugar shade*. On the lips, they translate beautifully, enhancing my natural lip color without being too opaque. The description mentioned they *smell good*, and honestly, that’s an understatement! The scents are delicious but not overpowering, making the application a sensory treat. And the texture? Absolutely *not sticky*, which is crucial for me. It glides on smoothly, feeling incredibly nourishing and hydrating. My lips feel soft and plump for hours, which is exactly what I look for in a high-quality lip balm. It genuinely moisturizes, unlike some balms that just sit on top. Now, about the price point of $24. Is it worth it for a lip balm? For me, yes. Considering the quality of ingredients, the luxurious feel, the beautiful tint, and how long a tube lasts even with frequent use, it feels like a justified splurge. It’s become a daily essential rather than just a treat. The only real 'con' mentioned was how quickly my favorites *sell out*. This really speaks to the brand’s popularity and how much it’s *loved*. To combat this, I’ve learned to keep an eye on restock alerts and sometimes even buy a backup when I see my favorite shades available. It’s a testament to how in-demand their products are, and not just the lip balms. Their Jet Lag Mask and Skin Tint are also cult favorites. In conclusion, if you're asking "is Summer Fridays a good brand?", based on my experience with their Butter Lip Balms, I can confidently say a resounding yes. They combine clean ingredients, effective formulas, beautiful aesthetics, and a genuinely pleasurable user experience. They've earned their spot as a top-tier beauty brand in my routine.

My Rate : 8/10
This is one of my favorite cleansing balms, the only thing I didn’t like about it was the lemony chemical smell. I really prefer fragrance free stuff for my face, but it dissolved my makeup, even my stubborn eye makeup and brow gel, quick and effortlessly! #ratemyempties #lemon8challenge

Hey 🍋 I typically don’t follow trends or the social media hype but when Ari released a cosmetic line I had to try it and I can honestly say it’s really good. The lip liners also were amazing and I plan on reordering. Hint: get the soufflé lip liner (Left to right) Product 1: pink matter
