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.
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.
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.
