Summer Fridays earns strong reviews for delivering hydrating, glow-giving staples—especially the viral Lip Butter Balm and Jet Lag Mask—which many say keep lips plush for hours and revive dry, travel-worn skin. Reviews also flag meaningful drawbacks: several users report irritation or breakouts (including reactions to Jet Lag and eye formulas), divisive scents and stickiness in some lip shades, very sheer base products, and packaging gripes, making the brand feel overhyped or not worth it for some.

Lasting power and great rosey color. I hope to try other colors. Easy to bring out and stays on through drinking and eating. Color fades nicely over time and isn’t drying like so many other lip stains.

I'm really impressed with this new shadedrops. The texture is milky and lightweight, I just love it. It’s easy to blend into the skin and doesn’t leave any whitecast. The finish is glowy but not oily, and it sits well under makeup.

The Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm formula is one of the best I’ve tried. It’s rich, hydrating, and leaves my lips feeling soft without being sticky. The Iced Coffee flavor is subtle with a cozy coffee scent that’s perfect for everyday use. It gives a beautiful glossy finish, too.

I really do like this butter balm and it’s the first butter balm I’ve ever tried before. I have the brown sugar. And despite it being like a gloss, it still has that color change to my lips, which looked very nice for my skin tone. The overall field to the butter balm was that it felt like a regular lip gloss. It smelled pretty good as well. Would I say if it’s worth $24? I feel like we could probably find another product that’s a lot more similar or if they could just lower their prices but overall, I think it’s pretty good use for a lip product.

This is a must have for red eye flights but also a no brained to keep in my nightstand drawer. No more dry tired eyes when I wake up. My eyes legit feel moist and hydrated all the way through the next morning! LOVE this serum.

The Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask is genuinely good at what it’s designed for — a quick, overnight-adjacent boost that leaves skin visibly plumper and more radiant, useful before travel, events, or just a rough sleep stretch. The gel-cream texture sinks in without feeling heavy, and a little goes a long way, so the jar lasts longer than the price tag suggests. What could improve: the vitamin C-forward scent is polarizing and can linger on the pillow; it leans more “instant glow” than long-term skin improvement, so don’t expect it to do anything for texture or breakouts over time; and at this price point, the actual ingredient list is fairly simple for what you’re paying — you’re buying the experience and the glow as much as any unique formulation.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm melts in smoothly and does deliver real, lasting hydration — lips stay soft for hours rather than needing constant reapplication, and the tinted shades give a nice your-lips-but-better flush without looking glossy or sticky. The tradeoffs: it’s genuinely expensive for what’s essentially a tinted balm, the squeeze tube format makes it easy to overdispense and waste product, and the scent (vanilla-forward) can be a bit much if you’re sensitive to fragranced lip products or reapplying often throughout the day. It’s a nice-to-have rather than a must-have — good if the price doesn’t bother you, but there are cheaper balms that hydrate just as well without the tint.

I love this lip balm. It's kind of like a lip balm and lip gloss combined. I have the pink one and it smells just like cotton candy. This product lasts a long time so I would say its worth the upfront cost.

I found this belly balm in my first trimester when I started to panic about the dreaded stretch marks, but also didn't want to pay egregious amounts of $$ for some of the brands I was getting targeted with. This balm is fantastic, and I am now on my second bottle as I enter my last month of pregnancy. It is soothing, and feels especially good as skin gets taught, and I have no stretch marks to date. I would probably rate it a 4.5 as it doesn't dissolve into the skin very easily so I tend to use it more at night vs. day and night, but the bang for your buck bumps it back up to a 5 for me.

I got the regular vanilla scent and it was very good quality. I can see why it is hyped. The texture is glossy and smooth, not greasy. The smell is really nice too. I wish the packaging was a little cuter but I still like it!

The colors and flavors are great - consistency is just right. Not too sticky, but high on the shine/gloss. The only thing is that the tube is low quality plastic and the applicator breaks off or cracks which leaves my bag a mess.
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 used to consider the Jet Lag mask a standout, but there are so many comparable products from other brands now that it does not justify its price tag. And I really do not like the lip butter that I purchased - too thick but still not particularly moisturizing.

I thought this product sounded pretty cool since it's advertised as a mask and moisturizer. I was a little confused when I got it because it seems just to be a thick moisturizer. It feels a little heavy on the skin but when it's really cold out or my skin feels damaged I'll opt to use this product

Summer Fridays Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum has been a game changer for me! My skin, particularly below my eyebrows gets so dry during the winter. I’m also 55 and need all the help I can get under my eyes. This eye serum has helped me in both ways! The skin around my eyes feels tighter and perfectly hydrated. Sometimes my skin got so dry it was difficult to pluck my eyebrows that got trapped by dryer spots. The gentle retinoid blend in Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum helped with that as well! Though it’s marketed as an overnight eye serum, I also use it during the day. With my skin getting so dry, it’s a bonus that I can put a thin layer under my cream eyeshadow. I’m about halfway through mine and will definitely buy it again!

Yummy and long lasting. The lip glosses are higher quality than others and have creative flavors. I want to collect them all!! You can get them in Sephora, on their site or other places. I love buying the gift boxes.

My favorite tinted lip balm! It applies so smoothly, the color section is amazing. The product is never sticky and it smells good but not overpowering. The tube lasts a long time and I reapply several times a day. I’m currently using the color Poppy.

I've only ever tried their lip butter balm, I have quite a few "flavors"/scents, and they are good I would say more moisturizing than the Rhode ones and sticky but not my favorite out of all my lip balms. In a pinch its great. My favorites are the Sweet Mint and then a tie between Pink Sugar, and Vanilla Beige. They do have good color too.

The jet set bundle is perfect for traveling. I used it on an international flight and felt like my skin was rejuvenated and well moisturized coming off the plane. It’s a good size, compact and the mask smells great. If you want well hydrated skin, this is a good option.

Summer Fridays Jet Lag Skin Soothing Hydration Mist is a staple. I use it as a general hydration mist throughout the day and my skin drinks it up instantly. Lightweight, no residue, smells amazing. The 1.7oz size is perfect for on the go.
