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.

  • I know that Summer Fridays is a very popular brand especially with the influencers so I was excited to finally try it out. I got the brown sugar and pink guava flavors/pigment. I like the texture it is very smooth and glossy, doesn't feel greasy or sticky. It leaves my lips feeling moisturized. The flavor of the butter itself is pleasant and not too strong. I wish the pigment was stronger especially on my more melanated skin.

  • I'm a big fan of Summer Fridays lip glosses they're incredibly comfortable to wear. The formula is plush yet lightweight, never too thick, and glides on effortlessly with just the right amount of slip. The scents are another highlight. Whether you prefer something sweet and dessert-inspired or more fresh and fruity, there's a scent for everyone. As for color, the payoff is just right not overly opaque, but a beautiful sheer wash that adds the perfect touch of color.

  • I’m addicted to lip balm and Summer Fridays is my new favorite. I love how buttery soft it is, and it goes on so smooth. I’ve only tried the Pink Sugar (which is amazing- light pink color and delicious sugary scent) flavor so far, but can’t wait to try them all.

  • Absolutely love summer Fridays lip balms, the flavours are so nice, smell good and aren’t too pigmented! Love keeping one of these in the car, in my bag and on me at all times to make my lips look hydrated and plump!

  • I love the lip balm so much keeps your lips moisturized and good for skin types. I need all the colors. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a lip balm that actually works

  • The company seems to be well loved in the community and has cute packaging, but I wasn't a fan of the ingredients or effect. It had a lot of natural ingredients which is typically good but can also be a bad thing.. .... I broke out from the mask several times due to the horse Chestnut it included in the ingredients of the mask. Unfortunately due to that I have put off purchasing more products from Sunday Riley. Wanted to like them so badly, but it didn't workout.

  • Gorgeous packaging and really good lip products. The butter balm is super smooth and I love the curved applicator. The lip oil is great too, pretty subtle color and not sticky. And again the packaging is just A+ and that matters more to me than it probably should!! They sent some nice samples as well including a cute mini mop butter balm.

  • Loveeee Summer Fridays - I’ve owned a few products, I love the Jet Lag mask it’s super refreshing and moisturizing compared to others I’ve tried but my all time favorite has got to be the pink sugar gloss. No nasty taste, super glossy when on, amazing scent and it lasts incredibly long.

  • My absolute favorite ! This is my favorite lip gloss in the market, it keeps my lips so hydrating, the formula is so smooth and lovely to apply all day long. And it lasts forever, it’s taking me so long to finish this tube.

  • I love my Summer Fridays lip butter balm! I have the butter balm in shade Cherry. It goes on smoothly and smells great. It gives my lips a little red tint and is long lasting. It is very moisturizing and not sticky.

  • I’m obsessed with Summer Fridays—the Jet Lag Mask is a forever favorite, and honestly, the whole collection is so good. Their products always feel super gentle but effective, and I love how easy they are to work into my routine. The Lip Butter Balms are another must-have for me—I keep one in every bag because they’re that good. Overall, such a dreamy brand with products that really deliver.

  • I didn’t expect to like this as much as I do. The texture is rich but sinks in really well, and it instantly makes my skin feel calmer and more hydrated. It works as an overnight mask, a quick fix during the day, or even as a base under makeup when my skin needs help. It doesn’t clog my pores or cause breakouts, which is usually a concern for me with heavier creams. It just leaves my skin looking soft, refreshed, and a lot more awake than I actually feel. If your skin ever feels dull or irritated, this is the kind of product that brings it back without a lot of effort. Definitely something I reach for often.

  • PRODUCTS & OVERVIEW: Lip Butter Balm (Vanilla Beige) + Jet Lag Mask & Moisturizer OVERVIEW: I’m so torn with this brand! I was curious about the hype for the butter balm but it fell so flat. The lip balm was not moisturizing and actually had a drying effect on my lips. My lips peeled and needed more balm throughout the day so it was viscous cycle of reapplying a drying agent to dry lips. BUT. The jet lag mask is one of my all time favorite moisturizers. It’s thick but not heavy! It makes my skin feel so plump, smooth, and calm. I would apply it at night after all my products and would wake up with soft supple hydrated skin. I keep it in my “spa bag” when I need to moisturize after a sauna/cold plunge session. WORTH THE PRICE? I think certain products are well worth the money BUT the lip butter balm is not. It’s worth exploring products but also, don’t overspend if you don’t have the funds. It’s fun to try things but not worth it if you aren’t okay with losing that money. AGING STUDY: I have bought the jet lag mask twice now and need to buy another tube. I will continue to purchase time and time again BRAND MISSION: In a world of over-stimulating, over-complicated and over-active beauty routines, Summer Fridays creates effective skincare and hybrid makeup that work without overworking the skin. They are focused on mindful product materials, conscious ingredients, and reducing waste (summerfridays.com). I love that they have a recycling program where you can send back 5+ empty products and you’ll receive a $25 e-gift card! I absolutely love that!!

  • If you are an iced coffee girlie, this is for you! Love the taste! Love how smooth it goes on and stays on. Love the slight tint it provides as well. You can't go wrong with any Summer Fridays lip butter balm - but the iced coffee is a favorite!

  • Love Summer Fridays! They combine evidence based ingredients with beautiful packaging. No crazy fragrances. Love the lip butter balm—I have it in three different shades. Big fan of the Jet Lag mask; I've purchased multiple times. The Cloud-dew moisturizer is fine (received this for free). Deducted a star because I do think for the formulations, it's a bit overpriced.

  • I got the jetlagged mask as a potential face cream. I didn’t know I was getting some thing that will completely change the way my skin looks! Not only as great as a nighttime moisturizer and mask, but it’s amazing to have that skin glow you’ve always always wanted to have!! People thought I was either in love or pregnant because I was wearing this!

  • The best lipstick brand in my opinion, if you ask me. They don't only have a huge variety of colors as options, but also take a lot into consideration, hydration of lips and skin care in a safe way. I have bought multiple times the dark lip balm and is incredible.

  • The jet lag mask is so nostalgic for me of the time when there weren’t as many skin care releases the mask just soothe my skin and really calms my barrier. I love it when I’m recovering from procedures

  • 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.

  • I got a pack of 3 and the lip butter balms seem nice at first but they make my lips super dry after and after I started using it my lips would be soo dry, peeling, swollen. My lips looked and felt aweful so I stopped using the summer Fridays but it still didn’t go away and I ended up having to go to the doctor and get a prescription cream to heal my lips.
