Some things are just better in the summer—ice cream, beach days, and the e.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balms. Okay, so I totally enjoy swiping on that last one year-round, but there's something about these nourishing, flavored balms that just hits different when the weather heats up.

Much like a refreshing ice pop on a balmy summer day, these lippies feel like a sweet treat for my lips. I adore how the plush yet weightless formula coats my pout in a flush of color, plus the yummy flavors give me an instant mood boost to enhance the carefree summertime vibes.

If you're indecisive (relatable), there's an easy way to determine which e.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm is right for you—and it's all based on the viiiiibes: Each flavor pairs perfectly with a fun summertime activity. And while you may think it's a little excessive to own multiples of the same lip product, the affordable price—just $9 a pop—makes stocking up a no-brainer. You're bound to have the best summer ever with a few of these balms on hand.

Who's ready for a beautifully curated picnic—I'm talking the ones laid out on checkered blankets with photogenic charcuterie boards and desserts and galore? You will be with Strawberry Shortcake. The soft pink hue and sweet scent add a feminine touch to your overall look and match the dainty, joy-inducing atmosphere of your outing. Now pass the (strawberry short-) cake.

Decadently rich—just like your favorite scoop—Blackberry Sorbet will give you a sugar rush without the crash. Keeping this lippie in your back pocket prevents your lips from drying out between taste tests, while leaving behind the most gorgeous purple stain.

A show under the stars tends to have a chill energy, which calls for a simple lippie. The light beige hue of Vanilla Toffee imparts a glassy finish while still letting your natural lip tone shine. One whiff of the sugary scent will keep the good vibes rolling.

For these action-packed matches, you need a lippie that can keep up. The delicious red hue Wild Cherry leaves behind will give you an extra confidence boost. Not to mention that those who wear red are more likely to win—yep, even if the color is on your lips! (Just don't fact-check us on this.)

Unleash your inner kid during your town's summer festival, or pop over to the nearest amusement park to test your skills at ring toss, balloon darts, or squirt guns. The electric plum shade and sweet gummy-candy flavor will bring back that childlike magic, and maybe even help you take home the big prize.

Cool off or make the most of a stormy day by swiping on Java Chip and checking out some local galleries. The elegant dark brown shade will make you feel as sophisticated as the art you're admiring, and the coffee flavor will give you a rainy-day jolt.
