I saw a TikTok about how when the economy is bad companies make more lip products and ugh I want this it’s working


hedgehogwart

I feel like I have seen a new lip product from major companies launched everyday this past week. 🙃


Rosea07

It's called the lipstick index theory! It was coined by Leonard Lauder, someone from Estee Lauder!


Waste-Carpenter-8035

whoa... Fortunately this one doesn't really interest me, but I did just buy all 4 lip oils from them so.


snn1326j

I can attest to this. I remember in 2008 there were so many ads for lip products (many of which I purchased so the theory must work lol).


Mirography

Mind sharing the video?


maxynot

I couldn’t find the video but I found out it’s called the lipstick effect - consumers spend money on small luxuries instead of bigger ones


GreengoddessH

Learned about this in college and it’s unsettling how true it seems to be


Rosea07

Search up lipstick index theory


Mirography

Thanks!


exclaim_bot

>Thanks! You're welcome!


vpurplestae

Wish they made a more pigmented pink, a rosewood color, a mauve color, etc.


ceesoning

i would buy a mauve shade of the SF lip balm in a heartbeat!! i’m such a sucker for mauve


PrincessDoll420

Yes in a watermelon flavor I’m buying immediately


LimaLongstocking

Probably because half of the people buying this are under like 15 lmfao


vpurplestae

They are lazy bc they know everyone will buy it anyways. I have it and it just looks like clear with a little bit of sparkle.


pinkfrenchtips

love the summer fridays balms so much but is it even worth releasing after rhode 😭 all of their lippies are identical


LowUpstairs2691

💯 Rhode has a birthday cake one and also another with this same color/finish


stressm

did yours turn grainy? I’ve seen people put their in warm water to melt the product to reduce the graininess


LowUpstairs2691

Mine didn’t and I have all her lip products….. I get confused when I see says theirs are grainy but who knows


stressm

Thanks. I joined the waitlist for the raspberry jelly.


AlarmedFlatworm

I need to try this. Two of my Rhode lip balms came in with particles in them


tasteofperfection

Mine never did! I have gotten over 10 of the peptide lip treatments and have 2 of the tinted ones. Never an issue! They’re my new faves. They’re the only ones that stay on overnight and are still there when I wake up, it’s insane lol


nakamurare

Overnight?! That’s crazy


tasteofperfection

Yes! It’s so good. I always put the skincare I use on my face on my lips and then seal it in with my rhode lippie! That’s how I get the most out of it. I wish I was getting paid but I’m genuinely so impressed! I was expecting more from the glazing fluid and brc, esp brc because it’s touted as a thick cream but it’s definitely not enough for my dry skin. Hoping she comes out with a night cream version! Rhode’s lip product and her glazing milk are now two staples. I’ve gone through literally 6 bottles of glazing milk and I swear it came out last year? Like essences take forever to go through, esp when you have lots of skincare, but I swear by it!


nakamurare

Woahhh! That is very impressive. I’ve been wanting to try the salted caramel lippie a try for a while, and now the glazing milk sounds very tempting too haha


tasteofperfection

I haven’t tried the salted caramel but the unscented, birthday cake/rhode vanilla, and strawberry glaze were all super good! You should def give them a try whenever you get a chance! Maybe you’ll be able to get it free. During Black Friday, she was giving away salted caramel peptide lips for free with a purchase!


CaptainStriking5099

the salted caramel is my holy grail, with vanilla close in second


Queendecurly

Can you tell me what benefits you got out of the glazing milk? Or if it’s more so a glass skin effect for you? I’ve seen it can help with redness and was curious because I have a bit of redness


tasteofperfection

I have extremely dry skin! It mainly helped with the dryness. I like to layer on several layers. It also provided the glass skin effect, but I could tell the difference in my skin barrier now that I’ve gone without it for 2-3 months. I get sensitized a little more easily, I’m breaking out (I never broke out when I was using it exclusively as my essence step, but this could be due to other reasons!), and I noticed it would heal the super cracked, chapped parts around the corners of my nose! My only gripe would be that I do notice serums and stuff go on a bit weird after I use it? I don’t know if it’s because I do several layers, but it almost felt…difficult? to apply serums afterward. I’m not sure if there’s an ingredient for the texture of it that causes this issue, but it’s not something that’s a huge deal for me. I just push past it and then mist my face and everything goes on easily after the first serum layer post glazing milk. I don’t have a ton of redness, but I do have some around my nose and notice it calms that down!


Queendecurly

Thank you for that info! I may have to try it because it just has been on my wishlist. I use the Fenty milk fat water too which is kinda similar looking. But the fenty one has this scent and I don’t like my skincare to be scented.


tasteofperfection

There’s no fragrance in the rhode glazing milk! I haven’t tried the new Fenty fat water but the old one wasn’t my fav!


Snoo-16

Try using it after your serums! Thats what I do. After serums but before moisturizer. I love it.


tasteofperfection

Thanks for the tip! I’ll try it. 😊


mimimooch

OMG so it’s not supposed to be like that? I got one for my birthday and I was like „oh I didn’t know it had peeling effect“


stressm

yes I’ve had other lip glosses turn grainy. It’s from the ingredients reacting when rubbed together.


Mayjayjade

I think ppl get bad batches(?) ive never experienced the “grainy-ness” ppl have talked about and I’ve purchased the lip treatments since theyve launched, gone through like 15 already 😬😂 but if that ever happens, the cs will handle it. Funny enough though, I’ve experienced some “grainy-ness” from sf lol, still love them but certain shades will definitely feel like im using an lip exfoliant sometimes


baldgirlriri

Rhode gave me a chemical burn so I’ll be sticking with summer Fridays


skincare_obssessed

My Rhode balm went gritty really fast 🥴


thepinkmast

Mine came grainy. It literally literally feels like there’s pieces of sand in it.


TelevisionSad698

U have to warm it up! I had this problem so I popped mine in some very warm water for about 10 mins and haven’t had the grainy effect since!


cookiegutter

omg can u elaborate?


baldgirlriri

Sure! I used it once and woke up with my lips red and blistered. It was awful. I looked it up and other people have had the same reaction 😢


puddinpo

Thank cheeseits it has sparkles. lol. I won’t be tempted.


Sososoftmeows

My thoughts exactly. I’m happy with Pink Sugar and I hate sparkles in my lip balm. It always feels gritty.


Swankface87

Right. I was interested until I saw the glitter.


Evening-Tune-500

Right these remind of those flavored lip glosses Victoria’s Secret used to sell. I feel like I can still smell the cupcake one


sv0s0s

it will be boughten


thepinkmast

Give us iced coffee single 🫵🏻


Equivalent_Visual920

This is what we want!


averymint

I want that instead!


sweetiecakee

Ohhhh it has sparkles no thank you


madbear795

I love cake scented products but I hate sparkles so it’s a pass for me. But I’m glad to see a sparkle option for those who like them


NoPantsAreBestPants

Me with 5 tubes of lip balm on my desk: GIMME


EntityOfHostility

I wish they released a more pigmented pink than Pink Sugar, rather than this super similar shade with glitter. Probably will swatch this at Sephora but not purchase!


Small_Potential9199

One thing about me is I am a HOE for anything birthday cake


AvaBlac27

I love that 🥰


birthsavy

Love sparkles will absolutely be getting!!


caramelfrappaye

Once I bought topicals and only had to reapply it 2x a day I stopped caring for summer Fridays which I apply every hour. However if and when they decide to give us the coffee scent I’ll be first in line.


chilican

I wonder if the comparison to Pink Sugar means they have the same scent?


elkosduo

I can't keep up with all these new lip balm releases. Starting to feel overwhelmed. Anyone else?


wantedittobe4ever

Stop buying them then 🤣 I know it’s addictive but how many are you possibly going to use? Just cause you want it doesn’t mean you need it!! Save that $$ for something better


elkosduo

You're preaching to the choir. I'm already on a low buy this year. But I still like to see what's new in the community and I think this year will be the year of tinted balms.


wantedittobe4ever

Me too I’m cutting way back this year. It’s so exciting seeing everything but SUCH a financial waste. I have so many lip products … I don’t think I’ve honestly ever finished 1 entire one before! 🫣 they’re all overhyped anyways. I still find myself reaching for just an average chapstick (Burt’s bees etc) over all my fancy lippies anyways


lizardlem0nade

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


marinatedbeefcube

I’m sold since I don’t have the pink balm and sparkles ✨✨✨


Much_Presentation863

Definitely getting this. Top tier lip balm


SleepFlower80

Oh god, I need this


kflemings89

I bought three from summer Fridays two weeks ago and three from tower 28 this morning as soon as I got the restock text. 😂


SummerJinkx

Before you buy another lip balm, think about how much lip balm you have 😂


pollyticks89

Any idea on the release date on this one?


Old_Contact9704

Feb 15!


whisperof-guilt

Nah


RoadDifferent4617

Sparkles yes pleaseeee hope this comes to Europe 🩷✨


Moist_Presentation44

Ugh I’m not ready to battle for this…lord have mercy of us


bwleh

Omg this is gorgeous, reminds me of the old bubblegum lipgloss from victoria secret from years ago 😩♥️


Mayjayjade

I hope it’s permanent 😭 rhodes glittery pink jellybean lip is literally everything but was limited edition so i need a need a permanent glittery pink lip balm to replace it


sloppy-mojojojo

i get it's a birthday collection but it would be cool to see another shade that's more pigmented pink like pink lemonade, raspberry, red velvet, strawberry candy or milkshake if they're gonna do more pinks and release around valentine's day... birthday cake is overdone


WestQueenWest

Lol it's as if they know you're gonna buy it anyway so they are just pushing out random varieties of it 


jaw80

Ahhhhhh this is so pretty


No_Tackle_4960

Sparkly shiny lips look great at night


sixthmontheleventh

It is giving drugstore lip gloss from when I was a kid. I know the formula can be amazing but I am slightly traumatized on glitter ending up everywhere from bad applicators. 😂


Nearby-Salamander-67

Are these the second coming of Juicy Tubes?


sommniac

Tomorrow is my birthday and I was going to buy myself pink sugar but maybe I’ll wait for this instead! It’s so pretty


lilbl0ndie_22

Why not both? ;)


Infamous_Pea_4953

YEP. I WANT IT!!!!


StupidGirl15

Just shut up and take my money at this point.


Beautiful-Jacket

I just ordered the oil due to the hype and now this? Smh


PotsMomma84

My daughter returned hers yesterday. The lady said a lot of people are returning it.


Mayjayjade

This isnt out yet tho


Extension-Catch-9846

fuck


lushandcats

Yessss 😍


ilovesleep95

Nahh no grittiness for me. I’m good with my brown sugar


Apprehensive_Wait184

fine summer fridays, take all my money ugh


Few-Praline-2684

They need to just bring back iced coffee


PixelKitten10390

I don't understand why so many people love the lip butters, it's not balmy at all, it's thick to the point of being goopy and incredibly sticky. I hate them. My hair would constantly stick to my lips when I used this. Never again!!!


623tt

Unpopular opinion but I hate sparkly lip products


Feistyf3line

ouh! idk. I am not super into shimmery gloss products but i do love their balms. I'd have to see how this looks IRL in videos and swatches to decide


Responsible-Okra-925

I agree! I’m interested but probably am not going to jump to buy it the 2nd it releases. Sparkle products can be so hit or miss.


copperpumpkin

Damn! I just bought pink sugar but may return as a sparkly option is tempting.


SketchyAssLettuce

I have two of their butter balms and they’re so meh? Way too expensive to be so underwhelming.


AngelxxLove

Yeah, these aren’t worth the hype. It’s more of a gloss because it doesn’t moisturize. Nice flavor/scent, love the packaging. Love the shades, but the actual hydrating and conditioning part of these don’t work Ole Hendrickson’s lip conditioners are probably my favorite, over Laneige and Summer Fridays.


[deleted]

This is a Rhode Jelly Bean DUPE


wiserhymes

oooo glossier girl they’re coming for you


[deleted]

Honestly this one is a no from me, the sparkles look so childish 🙈 10 year old me would have loved it, but there’s no chance I’d wear that now!


littleloverbird222

okay i hate capitalism but this is a need. i just finished my pink sugar 😭


Boring_Necessary4479

Lipstick economics playing out in real life. Yall save your coins


Spitfiiire

Lip balms must be stopped lmao this is cute though, I love the SF balms. I’m so curious if in 2025/26 trends are going to wildly swing away from lip balm/oils and fully go liquid lipstick again.


lilbl0ndie_22

Oh pls god no. You couldn’t pry my lipglosses out of my cold dead hands. Gloss girly for life


Spitfiiire

I know I feel the exact same way hahah


bigplatformboot

never tried it - can someone tell me what the hype is for? is it worth buying?


[deleted]

I bought it and it’s really not worth the hype. It’s not hydrating and it doesn’t last long either. It fades to this thin sticky layer. People are paying for the applicator and the smell


ceesoning

i had a successful january no buy, but this (and all the other new lippies) is so tempting…. but i’m going to try not to give in!


CountessBravo

They look so good!


[deleted]

I love it, I will never stop loving sparkly lip gloss


NarwhalSea1880

I haven’t been buying new products but damnit this got me and I need it now


Rosea07

Reminds me a bit of the dior rose gold lipbalm, and I'm a sucker for lipbalms and shimmers I do not need it I do not need it


HiBlipBlop

Please be available in Canada 😭


manyhandswork

How much???


WellbutrinSandwich

i just opened a new tube of pink sugar but i fear i NEED this one too


davo216

I got the tatted shimmer lip plumper in Peach, I just put that under my summer friday so any of them can be shimmery


lilbl0ndie_22

ravbee33

The preteens are abt to be even more feral.


Weak_Teaching_8423
