  • Luxurious, hydrating textures

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 was very hesitant at first and was prepared for this to be a brand that was "all instagram, no benefit" and I was wrong. As someone with very dry lips no matter what, this has been a dream. I love how hydrating the formula is and the flexibility of having a clear finish or a light tint with the berry color. (also if you can get your hands on the mini, omg)

  • 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

  • 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 tried the eye cream before and for me it irritated my undereyes too much. I wish I liked the formula because I heard great things about the jet lag cream.

  • 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

  • This stuff is great! We ordered a whole bunch. My 14-yo, who is very familiar with the brand, got to stock up on the lip balms and blush, and I got some oil, eye serum, and cleansing pads to try out. I don't love that each cleansing pad comes individually wrapped, but I suppose that's the best way to lock in the moisture? Feels like a lot of waste and unwrapping/disposing is an extra step. LOVE that the order came with little bonus samples, that is the key to me heart.

  • 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!

  • A great product for travel, or when wanting an overnight mask treatment for the skin.

  • Jet lag mask is phenomenal and worth the money if you want to splurge a bit!!

  • Really loved this product! It is smooth and stays on my lips for a long time. The consistency is thick but not over the top - really exactly the texture you want from a lip gloss. Also, the flavor is great!

  • Like most everyone else, I have been trying out the lip butter balm - in the vanilla scent. It is a great product to keep in your bag / take on the go. It does not leave your lips feeling super sticky or tacky - it is a soft/smooth gloss that keeps its shine for at least an hour. I know trader joes has made their dupe, but theirs is much more slippy/thin compared to Summer Fridays - I would say this is worth a splurge.

  • Best smelling products. Love the lip balm especially the vanilla scent. The masks are also amazing. My only complaint is that the mask packaging isn’t so durable.

  • i like the lipbalms but can only afford to buy them once a year at 22 bucks for a lipbalm is hefty
