The jet lag mask was all the rage when Summer Fridays debuted, and the jet lag eye patches are super comforting and stay on really well. A great addition to my everything shower and ensuring my undereye area is not dry. It was a new foray to cosmetic products - I would say Summer Fridays is the older Tower28 - where the blush and skin tint are lighter (and more forgiving) yet buildable. The brush wasn't my favorite, but once again, it came with the set, so it's fine I do love their lip butter balm, which wasn't overly sticky but hydrating and had a sheer lip color.
I have tried the Summer Fridays jetlag mask in the past and i think i am in the minority of people who did not really love it (i actually found it dried my skin out), but i was curious to try some of their other products because of all the good reviews.
Jetlag Facial Spray: Lovely and hydrating but the bottle is absolutely tiny! Until they bring out a bigger version i wont repurchase as i would go through it too quickly. Great for travel though.
Jetlag Eye Serum: I am not an eye product lover but my 45 year old eyes need something. This feels lovely and smoothing and not heavy which is what i don't love about most other eye creams.
Shadedrops: Probably my favorite product of all i have purchased. Very light weight, and leaves a lovely natural finish. Does not feel greasy or heavy in any way and i like that it is very lightly tinted. No suscreen smeel either which is a big plus!! Don't love the square packaging.
Skintint: Very sheer but perfect for days when you are dont want to wear makeup and just run around doing errands. Again, don't love the square packaging.
I love the summer Friday Jetlag mask. It’s been a lifesaver for me on the airplane. however, the sheer skin tent was a total letdown. I bought shade two and the consistency was very very watery. About half an hour into the application it also oxidizes on my face turning another shade darker. I also threw this one out very disappointed.
Okay, why was I such a Summer Fridays hater?
I first tried their Lip Butter Balm from a Sephora birthday gift and hated the overly sweet, artificial scent. But I gave it another shot and ordered the butter balm in Brown Sugar and Sweet Mint. Still not obsessed with the smell, but the Brown Sugar shade? Gorgeous. It’s a perfect, slightly vampy nude.
▪️ Butter Lip Balms: I’ve tried popular lip butters/balms/masks, but nothing worked for my parched lips. I've been loving Sweet Mint as an overnight lip mask. I slather it on before bed, and I wake up with soft, hydrated lips. The formula is thick, moisturizing, and not sticky.
▪️Skin Tint (Shade 2.5): Exactly what I’ve been looking for! Sheer, natural, skin-like. I have dry, light skin and the shade 2.5 is a perfect match with no patchiness on my dry spots. It doesn’t provide much coverage, but that’s the point. It evens out redness, especially around my nose, and gives a dewy, natural look. It layers well over my moisturizer and SPF.
▪️ Cloud Moisturizer & Shadedrop SPF: No review yet. Will update review after trying.
Bonus: Everything is vegan and skincare-focused. ♥️ Solid 4.5. Not quite a 5, because of the scents.
