‘Must have' beauty buy smells ‘exactly like iced coffee' and Sephora shoppers are obsessed with it
The summer season will soon be in full swing. And nothing says summer like a fresh new lip balm (because who is wearing lipstick to the beach?) So if you are on the lookout for a new lip balm which gives you buttery soft lips, then the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm might be your perfect summer go-to.
Speaking of the warmer weather and summer trends, according to some shoppers, this lip balm also smells uniquely of 'iced coffee'. A big win for any espresso lovers. You can buy it for £23 in a number of shades here at Sephora.
The popular item is 100% vegan, and promises to 'soothe dry lips with a touch of sheer bright pink colour', according to Sephora. 'Butter up for instant moisture, colour and shine- and a hint of sweet guava flavour.'
Singing the lip balm's praises, one shopper entitled their review: 'Smells exactly like iced coffee', writing: 'This has a great formula and smell. It's great for lip combos and it's really hydrating.'
Someone else noted: ' Must have lip gloss ', adding: 'The Cherry is incredible.
'The smell is amazing, the texture is lightweight, the finish is shiny and gorgeous!'
While the vast majority of buyers had nothing but positive things to say in the reviews on Sephora, not everyone was keen.
One person noted that they wished they had ordered a shade in a darker colour, writing: 'The pink sugar gloss is very hydrating and not sticky or gloopy.
'However the colour does not show up at all, so just a basic balm. Try a darker shade if you actually want a tint!'
Yet someone else added: 'Genuinely the best lip balm I've ever used. I have two, the vanilla and the mint, and also got one for my mum for Mother's Day!
'It's more than what I'd usually pay for a lip balm but honestly really worth it as I saw results so quickly.'
Similar products you could also buy include the REFY High-shine lip gloss for £16, or the Super Healthy Skin Nourishing Lip Balm SPF 30 for £17 at Beauty Pie.
For a more budget-friendly option there is also the Honeybalm Honey Lip Balm which you can get for £8.99 at Honeybalm.

'The perfume has a strong smell, I would definitely recommend this and will purchase more as the quality is great' Shoppers can get dad a 'long lasting' luxury scent for less this Father's Day with this handy trick. A bottle of Halfeti by Penhaligon's typically retails at an eye-watering £215 a bottle - but there's a way to get an authentic bottle for £8. The Gentlemen's Fragrance Collection is a £40 gift set containing five 5ml bottles of the brand's best-selling scents for men, making each bottle £8. They are on the smaller side however our team fragrance expert, who wears perfume every single day, insists this set could easily last a few months with regular use and that they're a great way to trial scents before committing to a pricey full-sized bottle. Fragrance discovery sets have definitely been more popular lately, with fragrances reacting to each person's skin differently it's a great way to figure out if something is a match. Maison Margiela similarly have a Mini Discovery Set with two 7ml bottles of Beach Walk and By the Fireplace for £35 on Sephora. There's also a Tom Ford Signature Mini Discovery Set for £24 at LookFantastic - although each bottle is less than 2ml. Inside the Penhaligon's set are five 5ml bottles of the brand's iconic scents. Shoppers can find: Quercus (Top notes are Amalfi Lemon, Lime, Bergamot and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Lily-of-the-Valley, Jasmine and Cardamom; base notes are Oakmoss, Musk, Galbanum, Sandalwood and Amber) Blenheim Bouquet (Top note is lemon, middle note is Lavender and base note is Pine) Endymion (Top notes are Lavender, Bergamot, Sage and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Coffee and Geranium; base notes are Leather, Sandalwood, Cardamon, Myrhh, Nutmeg, Black Pepper, Musk, Incense, Vetiver and Olibanum) Halfeti (Top notes are Cypress Leaf, Saffron, Cardamom, Artemisia, Bergamot and Grapefruit; middle notes are Bulgarian Rose, Nutmeg and Jasmine; base notes are Agarwood (Oud), Cedar, Leather, Sandalwood, Amber, Tonka Bean, Vanilla and Musk) Juniper Sling (Top notes are Juniper Berries, Orange, Angelica and Cinnamon; middle notes are Pepper, Cardamom, Leather and Orris Root; base notes are Vetiver, Sugar, Cherry and Amber) Halfeti is the brand's best-seller in this set and has an average rating of 4.7 out of five over on the Penhaligon's website. One shopper said: "This fragrance might not be everyone's cup of tea but I absolutely love it. Its spicy and long lasting and my favourite from the brand. Always receive compliments when wearing it. I would suggest to get a sample first and try it out before buying a full bottle." A second wrote: "Love the smell it lasts for ever. Lovely strong smell makes me feel the rich haha. The perfume has a strong smell I would definitely recommend this and will purchase more as the quality is great. Great as gift for loves one." A third wasn't too impressed, saying: "It is a very strong perfume and a couple of squirts on my wrists lasted all day. It has a musky, oriental aroma and although I do like it, I think for me personally, it is better suited as a winter perfume." A fourth added: "This is a beautiful very high end perfume. I absolutely love this brand. So elegant and classy. A little bit of any of these perfumes really does go a long way! I would highly recommend this perfume. It's stunning."

Sephora shoppers say 'run don't walk' for perfume that smells of beach days 'Run don't walk to buy this! I just love love love this scent! I can't get enough of it. I just want to smell like the beach and coconuts and not many scents wow me in that regard. This one is amazing and I am in love.' Sephora shoppers say 'run don't walk' for perfume that smells of beach days (Image: Getty Images/Image Source ) Sephora shoppers are swearing there's a must-have scent this summer and that we should run for it. NEST New York has a range of perfume oils on the market but it's their Balinese Coconut drawing in attention. Balinese Coconut is a simple blend of coconut, tiare blossom and salted musk that creates a beachy scent perfect for warmer months. Bali is proving popular this summer for perfume inspiration with Jo Malone fans raving over Frangipani Flower (£58) which is said to smell just like the beaches in Bali. This perfume oil is small enough to slip into handbags but would likely pair well with Phlur's Beach Skin (£25) which it shares some notes with - although Beach Skin has pink pepper, sandalwood and the addition of bergamot.

This one is amazing and I am in love." A second penned: "I absolutely love the smell of this perfume! It smells like a warm summer beach day filled with coconuts and sunshine. It's a subtle scent and it shifts as the day goes on but lasts! I also love Beach Walk by MM, so if you like that scent you'll love this." One shopper wasn't thrilled with the longevity of the coconut note, writing: "I really wanted to love this. Coconut is one of my favourite fragrances and I was so excited to see that Nest created a coconut scented body oil. Upon first sniff the coconut is creamy and sweet. Unfortunately, the beautiful coconut note fades and all that's left is the smell of spicy sandalwood with hints of warm vanilla."

We got a sneak peek at Boohoo's new summer range– these buys will sell out fast
Our Mirror fashion team got an early look at Boohoo's summer range, and it's packed with surprisingly high-quality pieces... One of the perks of our job on a fashion desk is that we get to see early glimpses of new fashion collections before they hit the rails. And last week, we got a sneak peek at Boohoo's latest summer drop. If you had any reservations about the quality or fit of Boohoo products, trust us, you won't after seeing these new-in launches. Playing on summer picnic style, the range features holiday and staycation essentials in breezy linen and silk-like fabrics, fun gingham and stripe prints, and with fruit print motifs. Many of the pieces also come with petite and plus options, meaning there's something for everyone. We spotted five key trends in the collection, ranging from cherry red to skorts, and we predict these pieces below will sell out fast! 'Add to basket' fingers at the ready... Beaded sandals Capri Beaded Sliders, £20 Ibiza Beaded Sliders, £12.50 Beaded slider sandals are set to be the hero shoe of summer 2025 – and it's easy to see why. This season's take blends laid-back, beachy ease with elevated, artisanal detail. Think intricate beadwork, playful embellishments and colour-pop accents that instantly lift a simple outfit. We spotted these two 'Ibiza' and 'Capri' pairs in gorgeous colourways. Co-ord sets Tie Side Linen Top & Wide Leg Trouser Co-ord, £25.20 Gingham Woven Boxy Co-Ord, £25.20 Plus Stripe Linen Look Oversized Shirt, £19.80 (+ matching trousers) Co-ord sets are having a major moment for summer 2025, with linen and satin-like fabrics leading the charge. From crisp, breathable linen that keeps things cool to silky finishes that catch the light just right, this trend is all about ease and elegance. The beauty of a co-ord lies in its instant polish– throw it on and you're done. There's plenty of choice in Boohoo's new range, but these three above are perfect for daytime or evening dressing. Mini dresses Petite Tailored Cowl Detail Wrap Mini Dress, £28.80 Stripe Sleeveless A-Line Mini Dress, £12 Stripe Ruched Flare Cuff Shirt Dress, £24 The mini dress is making a strong comeback for summer 2025, but forget the bodycon bandage styles millennials once lived in. This season's take is softer, more playful, and refreshingly effortless. Think babydoll shapes, flippy hems, and light fabrics that move with the breeze, often styled with flats or chunky trainers for a modern edge. Whether it's puff sleeves, cut-out details or a simple strappy silhouette, the new mini feels flirty without fuss. Cherry red Linen Tie Back Puff Sleeve Midaxi Dress, £22.50 Mon Cheri Applique Oversized T-Shirt, £12.80 Cherry red is set to be the standout shade of summer 2025: bold, juicy and impossible to ignore. This vibrant hue is showing up everywhere, from slinky slip dresses to tailored co-ords and statement accessories, offering a punchy alternative to soft pastels or neutral basics. Whether worn head-to-toe or as a single pop against denim or white, cherry red brings instant energy. Skorts Short With Double Split Skirt Layover, £13 Skorts are making an unexpected, and very welcome, comeback this summer, blending the polish of a mini skirt with the practicality of shorts. Perfect for busy days, festivals, or just keeping things breezy and effortless, they're popping up in everything from crisp cottons to fluid satins. This time around, think tailored cuts, sporty silhouettes and minimalist styling. Less Y2K, more elevated ease. Looking for other new-in collections to shop? M&S has just dropped its own summer range featuring gorgeous pieces for holidays. However, you'll need to head into your nearest store to shop the range, since the ongoing cyber attack is still ruling out online shopping for the moment. Alternatively, H&M's summer range is online and offers designer-looking silhouettes for much less than you'd think.
