Listen, there are things in life that require careful consideration, meticulous analysis, and in-depth research. Things like who let the dogs out, why don’t we just eat the rich, and how many Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balms does one person need before it becomes a problem.
I cannot answer the first two questions (though I have theories). But I can say that when it comes to Summer Fridays’ balms, the answer is somewhere between “just one more” and “help, my bag is mostly lip products now.”
If you have never tried these little tubes of joy, let me enlighten you: they are soft, plushy, hydrating, and just the right amount of glossy. They make your lips look like you just stepped off a yacht in the South of France, even if in reality, you are wearing sweatpants and yelling at your cat to please stop knocking things over.
And because I am a dedicated professional (or at least a person with too much free time and a weak will for new lip products), I have collected nearly every shade. Here is my highly scientific princess categorization of each one, based on scent, color, and the all-important vibes.
Sweet Mint (The Refresh Button)
Scent: Candy peppermints —like if you just inhaled a box of Peppermint Patties.
Shade: Clear, because hydration is the goal here.
Vibe: That one friend who always has gum and is somehow never stressed out.
Disney Princess: Elsa
Cool, refreshing, and just a little icy—Sweet Mint is the lip balm equivalent of “Let It Go.” Elsa’s whole aesthetic is fresh, clean, and effortless, just like this universally flattering balm that gives lips a subtle, wintry sheen.
Vanilla (OG Queen)
Scent: Pure vanilla bean. Simple. Classic. Like the lip balm equivalent of a perfectly made crème brûlée.
Shade: Clear. Good for hydration, bad for pretending you “naturally” have lips like a 1940s movie star.
Vibe: Cozy, dependable, the kind of person who always has an extra hair tie.
Disney Princess: Cinderella
Timeless, classic, and effortlessly elegant—Vanilla is the lip balm equivalent of Cinderella’s whole aesthetic. It’s soft, subtle, and gives that “barely trying but still stunning” energy, just like Cindy herself. Plus, if any princess appreciates the magic of a little gloss before running out the door (or, you know, a pumpkin carriage), it’s her.
Vanilla Beige (Your Lips But Wealthier)
Scent: Same delicious vanilla, still giving “fancy bakery” energy.
Shade: A pinky-brown nude that makes you look effortlessly put together, even when you are absolutely not.
Vibe: Main character in a rom-com who always has perfect hair despite running late to everything.
Disney Princess: Belle
A timeless classic with a warm, bookish charm. Vanilla Beige is the cozy, neutral shade that goes with everything, much like Belle’s love for all things elegant and enduring. It’s effortlessly sophisticated but never boring, just like our favorite bookworm-turned-princess.
Iced Coffee (For the Espresso-Obsessed)
Scent: If walking into a fancy coffee shop had a scent, this would be it.
Shade: A warm, medium brown that somehow works for every occasion.
Vibe: You order “just an iced coffee” but somehow always get the most aesthetically pleasing one.
Disney Princess: Jasmine
Rich, bold, and a little unexpected—Iced Coffee is for those who don’t shy away from making a statement, just like Jasmine. With its warm brown hue and a hint of caramel, this shade is perfect for a princess who knows exactly what she wants and isn’t afraid to go after it.
Hot Cocoa (Winter in a Tube)
Scent: A perfect not-too-sweet hot chocolate. Like Swiss Miss grew up and got a skincare degree. (Fun fact: It tastes like Swiss Miss too!)
Shade: A soft brown that’s like Brown Sugar’s quieter, more introverted cousin.
Vibe: Curling up in a giant blanket, watching movies, and ignoring all responsibilities.
Disney Princess: Pocahontas
Warm, rich, and deeply grounding—Hot Cocoa is the perfect match for Pocahontas. This shade embodies earthy elegance, much like her connection to nature and her effortlessly sun-kissed beauty. It’s bold yet understated, powerful yet soft, just like the princess who walks her own path and paints with all the colors of the wind.
Brown Sugar (Hot Girl Autumn in a Tube)
Scent: Warm vanilla with a hint of spice, like a chai latte but make it beauty.
Shade: A toasty brown nude that looks effortless on everyone.
Vibe: Soft sweaters, falling leaves, making incredibly bold life decisions just because it’s October..
Disney Princess: Tiana
Rich, deep, and oh-so-smooth—Brown Sugar is the chef’s kiss of the Lip Butter Balm lineup, making it the perfect match for Tiana. Just like her beignets (which we know you love), this shade is warm, indulgent, and full of depth. A hardworking balm for a hardworking princess.
Cherry (The Cool Older Cousin)
Scent: A very French girl on a Vespa cherry scent—light, like a lollipop, but not too artificial, very chic.
Shade: A sheer red that looks effortless, like you’ve just been making out with someone (but, you know, tastefully).
Vibe: The only person at the party who actually knows how to open a bottle of wine.
Disney Princess: Snow White
A single bite of a cherry-red apple? Sounds like Snow White to me. The Cherry Lip Butter Balm is a juicy, classic red that’s as sweet as it is striking—just like the fairest of them all. Bonus points for the nostalgic, storybook-perfect shade.
Birthday Cake (For the Frosting-Obsessed)
Scent: Straight-up Funfetti frosting, in the best possible way.
Shade: A soft pink, but barely-there enough that it works with everything.
Vibe: That friend who always remembers everyone’s birthday and somehow manages to get the best gifts.
Disney Princess: Rapunzel
Fun, whimsical, and a little extra—just like Rapunzel. Birthday Cake is sweet, playful, and just the right amount of sparkly, making it the perfect pick for a princess who literally glows. After all, if anyone knows how to make an everyday moment feel magical, it’s her.
Pink Sugar (Barbie Would Approve)
Scent: Sweet but not too sweet. Think pink Starburst but, like, if it were sold at a Parisian boutique.
Shade: A sheer, cool-toned pink. Playful but surprisingly wearable.
Vibe: “Yes, I did buy this to match my pink Stanley cup, and what about it?”
Disney Princess: Aurora
Soft, delicate, and fit for a fairytale. Pink Sugar is the dreamy pink balm that gives “once upon a time” energy, making it the obvious choice for Aurora. Plus, let’s be real—if anyone would have the prettiest lip balm collection while sleeping for a hundred years, it’s her.
Poppy (Fruit Snack Fever Dream)
Scent: Supposedly a subtle juicy scent, but honestly, it smells like a bag of fruit snacks in the best way possible.
Shade: A coral-y red that somehow looks good on everyone.
Vibe: Like you impulsively bought a plane ticket to somewhere tropical and have no regrets.
Disney Princess: Ariel
Poppy is bold, bright, and a little rebellious—just like the mermaid who traded her voice for a chance at adventure. The vibrant coral-red shade screams under the sea vibes, perfect for making a splash, whether you’re on land or in the ocean.
So, which Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm are you reaching for? Whether you’re feeling bold like Ariel, classic like Belle, or sweet like Snow White, there’s a perfect princess-approved shade for every mood. Now, if only I had a magic mirror to help me decide which one to wear today…
