Summer Fridays Has Competition 👀

💋 Summer Fridays has been one of the most popular lip balms for years, but lately I've noticed more people reaching for other options.

These are some of the lip products I see getting the most attention:

✨ Eadem Lip Softening Balm

Comfortable hydration

Beautiful color options

Viral for a reason

✨ Ole Henriksen Peptide Lip Treatment

Thick, nourishing formula

Great for dry lips

One of the most repurchased lip products I see

✨ Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter

Luxury pick

Glossy finish

Perfect for the "your lips but better" look

✨ Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

Still a classic

Tons of scent options

Easy everyday lip balm

Do you think Summer Fridays is still on top or are we entering the Ole/Eadem era? 👀

7/9 Edited to

... Read moreAs a longtime fan of Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, I've been intrigued to see how new lip care products like Eadem Lip Softening Balm, Ole Henriksen Peptide Lip Treatment, and Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter are gaining popularity. From personal experience, I find Eadem stands out for its comfortable hydration and beautiful color choices — it's easy to see why it's gone viral. The soft, glossy finish feels natural without any heavy residue, making it perfect for daily wear. Ole Henriksen’s Peptide Lip Treatment is definitely a strong contender for those with dry or chapped lips. The thick formula deeply nourishes and locks in moisture, which I noticed especially during colder months. It offers a longer-lasting effect compared to traditional balms and seems to encourage lip softness over time. If you prefer a touch of luxury and a subtle glow, Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter is fantastic. Its lightweight and non-sticky texture complements the 'your lips but better' look, and the gloss adds a sophisticated shine without feeling heavy. Despite these new favorites, I still enjoy Summer Fridays for its diverse scent options and easy application. However, it does feel like the market has expanded, and more consumers are exploring formulas tailored to specific needs — whether it’s hydration, color payoff, or luxurious texture. For anyone considering a switch or looking to diversify their lip care routine, these options offer a refreshing variety. Trying them out side-by-side can help you find the perfect match depending on your lip care preferences and desired finish.

summer fridays vs elf! (real vs alternative)
Let’s compare the summer Fridays lip butter balm in cherry to its affordable alternative, the elf wild cherry lip balm! At first glance, you could say they are the same, but take a closer look and you will see a stark difference in the shades! The elf wild cherry has a bit of a brighter color.
