For me, I’ll be honest, Summer Fridays took me some time to wear it a few times to get what the hype was about. This balm gives light, glossy vibes, definitely does not feel like a balm. Might I add this was my first ever summer Fridays purchase and I couldn’t be more happier. For a honest rating I’ll give it a strong 7/10 and that’s only because I believe it could be a tad bit thicker. Is it worth $24.00? No but i could see myself paying about $12-$13 for it. Is it worth trying? Absolutely yes, even if it’s just one time.

You know that feeling when a product has all the buzz, and you just have to see if it lives up to it? That was totally me with this 'Lip Butter Balm'. Getting 'Soft Pink Glossy Lips For Summer' is always a goal, and this little tube promised exactly that.
Initially, I'll admit, it took me a couple of tries to really get what the hype was about. It's not your traditional thick, comforting lip balm. Instead, it offers this incredibly light, non-sticky, glossy finish that feels barely there. If you're someone who dislikes heavy products on your lips, this could be your new best friend. The 'Pink Guava' shade itself is subtle, giving just a hint of a natural flush, which is perfect for that understated, effortless summer look. It enhances your natural lip color rather than completely covering it, letting your true beauty shine through.
Now, let's talk about the guava aspect. The scent is a delicate, sweet, and tropical whiff of guava that’s incredibly pleasant without being overpowering. It adds to the whole 'summer vibe' experience without feeling artificial. It's the kind of scent that makes you feel a little bit pampered every time you apply it, a small luxury in your everyday routine. While the original review mentioned a 7/10 rating because it could be thicker, I actually appreciate its lighter texture for warmer months. It doesn't feel like it's melting off, and it layers beautifully over other lip products if you want to add an extra pop of color or shine.
For those of us constantly chasing that perfect 'soft pink glossy lips' look, especially during the summer, this balm fits right in. To truly maximize the effect, I've found a few tricks. First, always start with well-prepped lips! A gentle lip scrub once or twice a week, followed by a hydrating lip mask overnight, makes a huge difference. Then, in the morning, a quick swipe of a moisturizing base before applying your 'guava lip balm' ensures everything looks plump and smooth. Sometimes, I even use a nude or very light pink lip liner to define my lips before applying the balm, making the gloss appear even more polished and long-lasting.
Considering the price tag, I still stand by the thought that it feels a bit high for what it is—a 'Lip Butter Balm'. However, the experience of using it is undeniably lovely. If you're looking for an everyday, light, and beautifully scented balm that gives you that coveted soft pink, healthy gloss, and you're willing to splurge a little, then yes, it's absolutely worth trying at least once to see if it becomes your new summer essential. It's truly a product that delivers on its promise of 'Summer Fridays Soft Pink Glossy Lips For Summer'.
