New Summer Fridays Pink Guava ✨

Okay, beauty lovers, let's talk about the buzz-worthy new Summer Fridays Pink Guava Lip Butter Balm! I finally got my hands on it, and let me tell you, the hype is absolutely real. As soon as I saw the announcement for this shade, I knew I had to try it. My lips have been craving that perfect blend of hydration and a pop of color, and pink guava promised just that. First things first: the shade. Pink Guava is this absolutely stunning, vibrant yet wearable, warm pink that just screams summer. On my skin tone, it gives a fresh, juicy flush that brightens up my whole face. I did a quick swatch on my arm and then directly on my lips, and the color payoff is fantastic – buildable but still natural-looking. It’s not too sheer, but it’s definitely not opaque either, hitting that sweet spot between a lip balm and a lip gloss. The Summer Fridays signature packaging is, of course, sleek and lovely, making it a joy to pull out for touch-ups. The formula, as expected from Summer Fridays, is pure luxury. It melts onto the lips, instantly soothing and providing a cushion of moisture. It’s packed with nourishing ingredients that make my lips feel incredibly soft and plump, without any stickiness. I’ve worn it all day, and my lips feel hydrated for hours. It truly delivers a true lip butter balm experience, making it feel less like a temporary fix and more like a long-term treatment for dry lips. Now, for the big question many of you might have: how does Pink Guava compare to the iconic Pink Sugar? I own both, and while they are both beautiful pinks, they are distinctly different. Pink Sugar is a cooler-toned, almost iridescent baby pink with a subtle sparkle, giving a soft, ethereal look. Pink Guava, on the other hand, is a much warmer, richer coral-pink with a creamy finish – no shimmer, just pure, juicy color. If you love a more vibrant, tropical vibe with a pop of color, pink guava is your girl. If you prefer a delicate, cool-toned sparkle for a 'my lips but better' look, pink sugar still reigns. It really depends on the look you're going for, but honestly, having both is not redundant – they serve different moods! In terms of wear, I get a good 2-3 hours of comfortable wear before needing to reapply, especially if I'm just drinking. It leaves a lovely stain as it fades, so my lips never look completely bare. It’s perfect for throwing on for a quick errand or layering over a lip liner for a more defined look. This Summer Fridays guava lip balm has quickly become a staple in my everyday makeup bag because of its versatility and how great it makes my lips feel. Overall, the Summer Fridays Pink Guava Lip Butter Balm is a total win in my book. It delivers on color, hydration, and comfort, making it an absolute lip balm essential. If you’re a fan of the formula or just looking for that perfect pop of summer color, I highly recommend checking out this pink guava shade. It's more than just a lip gloss – it's a treatment and a tint all in one. Definitely a must-have for juicy, happy lips!
