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 saw how viral they were, so bought a couple of the lip balms during a Thingdrop. I haven't tested anything else besides the lip balms. It is impressive that the lip balms are vegan and still very hydrating, like a mask. The flavors and smells smell great and are quite strong, but wear off quickly in case you are worried in either direction. The color range is also pretty. Sadly, I have experienced some occasional unpleasant pilling. The rubbery, grippy tip is also slightly annoying - if you don't completely coat the tip with the product, it drags and pulls your lips. I like the Summer Fridays product recycling program and hope to take advantage of that (send back 5+ empties for a $25 e-gift card).

  • I really wanted to love this set, but unfortunately, I developed contact dermatitis under my eyes after using the serum, so I had to stop. The bright spot for me was the spray it feels refreshing, lightweight, and gives my skin a nice boost throughout the day. I’ll definitely be purchasing the full size of that product, even though the serum didn’t work out for me.

  • I didn't jump on the Summer Fridays train that early but as soon as I tried the Iced Coffee Lip Butter Balm I realized I was missing a lot! The flavor is perfect but not overwhelming, the lip gloss is hydrating, and the light tint is great. I can wear it with makeup or without. The tubes are also big and I can see myself using this for a while. Definitely recommend! Excited to try out their other products that I bought during the ThingDrop like the eye patches and the hydrating serum.

  • My favorite product is the Belly Balm. I am not even pregnant but I love how moisturizing the balm is. It is an elegant version of Aquafor. It is great for dry patches or for slugging. I highly recommend it! I have tried several colors of their lip balm and they are just okay. There are more moisturizing lips balms out there but I do like the mini sizes that they sometimes provide as a free gift with purchase. The brand is also always innovating and developing new products which is cool.

  • A true high quality lip gloss. It has even upped my cool score with y granddaughter

  • The jet lag mask is a lifesaver for me in the winter! My skin gets so dry and sensitive so I have to be really careful what I use. This one works for me! I love the thickness and it never feels greasy.

  • I have the lip butter balm in the brown sugar shade. The color is pretty but quite sheer. While the formula is great when you first put it on your lips, I found that it became drying on my lips. The scent is nice and not too overpowering. For the price, I would skip it, as I've found other products that work better for my lips. 3 circles because of the color!

  • This is an amazing lip balm. It’s slippy and cushiony and very hydrating. I love the mint and vanilla flavors the most. I don’t find the darker colors as good, they don’t show up on me but are still pretty.

  • Ok so I’m a lip junkie is prolly the best description— let’s just say it so lives up to the hype. I can’t help it, I think it will always be around my house

  • I think these are more of a fad than anything, but the lip butter packaging is sleek and super cute. They’re hydrating and smell nice, and I’ve also tried the Jet Lag Mask, which I like. Overall, it’s a great product, but a bit overhyped and overpriced

  • The Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm is a cult classic for a reason. It's hydration, staying power, and scent profile are well worth the price tag. My only wish is that they made an unscented version. For me, the Jet Lag Mask is just ok. It was nothing special.

  • I am a complete freak when it comes to eye patches I have tried so many of them and many with a higher price tag than these and these work just as well if not better than some of the most expensive brands on the market. they are super hydrating and refreshing highly highly recommend

  • Summer Fridays instantly makes my skin glow! It feels so light, hydrating, and fresh—like giving my face a mini vacation. Obsessed with how soft my skin looks after!

  • I have this in the darker red tint. I not only love the pigment, but it stays on for so long! I feel like it stays better than my aquaphor, with the added feminine touch of color! I carry it everywhere and the tube has also lasted so long

  • The best lip product I've tried! I keep going back to this one compared to all the other similar brands because the packaging is so cute and the product actually hydrates my lips which is exactly what I need!

  • I’ve been loving the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm! The texture is smooth and not sticky, and it actually lasts longer than most glosses I’ve tried. It has a subtle, delicious scent that makes it even more enjoyable to use. My lips feel soft and hydrated, with just the right amount of shine. Definitely one of my favorite everyday products!

  • The butter balms are my go to for that plush plump look. I love it during fall and winter. Keep my dry lips at bay. I love the scent and the applicator. It hugs my lips so well. The shade range is also excellent.

  • I used to be obsessed with the jetlag mask & bought multiple tubes, but it seems like they have changed the formula & it doesn't work the same. My skin is far more sensitive to the newer redesign. I also tried the lip balm & it seemed to make my lips feel drier after use.

  • I love the aesthetic of this brand, the texture of all of the products is great, but overall I feel like it's not a super potent or effective brand. The exfoliant, lip balm, and cleanser are amazing, Jet Lag mask is an incredible sleeping mask, but other than that it just seems like it's not very hardworking for results

  • I’m obsessed with Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm! It’s so smooth and hydrating, and it keeps my lips feeling soft all day long. The texture is perfect—never too thick or sticky—and it has a subtle, lovely scent. Definitely a must-have in my routine!
