As someone who’s always on the lookout for products that deliver on moisture and shade inclusivity, the Summer Friday Lip Balm has been a game changer for me. Not only does it keep my lips feeling hydrated all day (especially in this unpredictable Canadian weather), but the shade range is an absolute win. I love how it complements my dark skin tone perfectly—no awkward ashy look, just a smooth, healthy glow. Plus, knowing that it’s cruelty-free makes me love it even more. It’s always a win when beauty and ethics align! I need to get another one cause I’ve squeezed the life out of my current one.
