Juicy Peptide Lip Balm, Hydrating & Plumping Lip Balm with Sheer Color, Infused with Vitamin E & Peptides, Nude Latte, 0.27 Fl. Oz

This stuff is a great dupe for Summer Fridays lip gloss. It smells great (but not too strong). It makes my lips feel great. It doesn’t last a super long time, but that’s not the intention.

This was my first time purchasing this lip balm (I'm already a fan of their ceramide face spray b/c I love the smell & feel), and I'm glad I did, bc this balm works for me too. I've been using it nightly before bed: it goes on smooth, feels smooth on my lips, and when I wake up, it seems to have healed my lips in a way as they feel smoother and hydrated, which I need as the humidity lately has been in the low 20s. This balm has a strawberry milkshake taste and smell (personally I'd prefer something mint or citrus flavored), but it definitely works.

Update: Finally ventured beyond the clear lip balm and ordered their nude latte version, which is just as good. If you like a hint of color without wearing lipstick, it’s a solid choice while keeping your lips moisturized. The only gripe was it didn’t last long but I’ve found any lip balms and/or lipsticks are usually short-lived unless perhaps a lip stain. Anyway, I’m so digging the nude latte because it worked well with my natural lip color and it was a lovely enhancement while smelling like a French vanilla cookie. Original: I’ve sampled endless amounts of lip balms over the years and none has worked well especially during the wintertime when my lips are prone to being dry and chapped, for the exception of one. I’ve been solely using one over the last several years which was created by an esthetician friend with a practice and her own skincare line. While hers is the best out of the ones I’ve tried, I wanted to see what’s out there so I can have a few more options in rotation. I’m not sure what it is in the lip balms I’ve sampled but 99% of them are a complete bust. I thought this would be too but nooo…Amazon reviewers have steered me in the right direction. It’s super soothing (and smoothing) for my lips as well as keeping them mostly hydrated. While I’ve decreased almost all skincare products to scent-free, I didn’t mind a slight grapefruit scent to this and it felt like a little aromatherapy for me. I can totally see myself using this quite often and it was such an instant major success - I ordered two more on the spot upon receipt of this one. Would I recommend? It’s a raging YES from me!

This is a very good lip balm/Gloss. Not sticky at all. better then more expensive ones. One of my favourites gloss tubes after the Elf ones.

Package arrived in tact. Product is nice, not sticky or drying. Lovely very sheer color and smells good.
