Summer Fridays’ Iced Coffee Lip Butter Balm hit shelves last fall as part of a limited-edition lip balm trio for the holidays, and the flavor quickly became a crowd favorite. Once the set sold out, shoppers were left with a coffee craving, flooding the brand’s Instagram comment section with requests to sell it separately. Those wishes have been granted, as Iced Coffee joins more popular flavors like Cherry, Vanilla, and Sweet Mint as part of the Lip Butter Balm’s permanent collection. News of the re-launch blew up on Instagram, with the celebrity-loved brand’s post earning over 120,000 likes in a matter of days.
Our editors are long-time stans of Summer Fridays products — including the Jet Lag Face Mask and newly launched Jet Lag Eye Serum — but if we had to pick our number one favorite, it’d be the Lip Butter Balm. Let’s start with the value: Where competitors like Rhode and Laneige pack 0.3 oz of product into their respective tubes of lip balm, Summer Fridays gives you a generous 0.5 oz of formula. Better yet, this is one of the most long-lasting lip balms we’ve found while conducting testing for our lists of the best lip balms and lip masks; I find that I only need to reapply after three hours of wear.
The secret to the Lip Butter Balm’s staying power is a concoction of proven skin-softeners like shea butter and murumuru seed butter, plus vegan waxes that lock the moisture in place. Many flavored lip balms can cause irritation on sensitive lips (particularly ones with a wallop of artificial fragrance or minty essential oils), but this one is subtly flavored with a taste that mimics a latte with a spoonful of sugar swirled in. The scent is soft, sweet, and warming.
As for the tint, it’s a nearly translucent tone with a hint of chestnut that enhances the look of your natural lip color with the finish of a lip gloss. I love to trace my lips in a nude lip liner, blend it out with my ring finger, then apply a thick coat of the Iced Coffee lip balm: The result is fuller-looking lips that feel smooth and hydrated for hours on end.
Summer Fridays’ Iced Coffee Lip Butter Balm is available to shop now on Summerfridays.com and Sephora.com for $24. Although it’s now part of the brand’s permanent collection, this buzzed-about lip balm could set out, so we recommend getting your coffee fix before it’s gone.
