Well, I guess we better haul the Summer Fridays The Mini Neutrals Lip Butter Balm Set and The Lip Butter Balm Set that launched for Holiday 2024 before the ten year olds do. Seriously, for some reason, the tweens love Summer Fridays as much as Drunk Elephant.
In all seriousness, one of the biggest trends in the makeup world when it comes to Zoomers is lip balms and lip oils. Oddly, I’m surprised by that but when you really think about it I shouldn’t be. Why? Because let’s all sit back for a second and remember that our gateway drug into the world of makeup was likely a flavored Chapstick or Bonne Bell Dr Pepper Lip Smacker (Didn’t everyone own that damn shade? It pre-dated Clinique Black Honey!). I’ve told you before but in case you’re new around here I truly believe my love of makeup began when I ate my father’s Cherry Chapstick when I was a child. Yes, like bit a chunk off and ate it. As I recall it tasted good.
But in all seriousness, with all the variety of makeup out there, I do find it odd that Zoomers are really, really into lip balms and lip oils. We didn’t have that kind of variety growing up so Maybelline Kissing Coolers was like a Tarte 100 Shade Eyeshadow Palette back in the day! But I guess sometimes never change and Zoomers are just discovering the joys of makeup and tiny little lip products are what are getting them into it.
As for Summer Fridays they have two Holiday Gift Sets that are sure to sell out. Their Lip Butter Balms are very, very popular! I grabbed the Mini Neutrals Lip Butter Balm Set earlier today. It’s $25 bucks for four 0.16 oz shades that it even includes the new Iced Coffee flavor! Plus you get Vanilla, Vanilla Beige, and Brown Sugar. A great little nude selection of shades for Fall! I could be terribly wrong but I don’t think it’ll be around for the Holidays so grab it while you can! For those that want a big more we have the Summer Fridays The Lip Butter Balm Set ($49) three full size butters in Cherry, Pink Sugar, and Sweet Mint. Don’t worry, this one might stick around a while longer! And if you just want the newest shade, Iced Coffee, it’s available in a full-size for a limited time for $24.
Summer Fridays Holiday 2024 is available now at Sephora!
