\u201cLove Island USA\u201d was the IT show of 2024, and I think it\u2019s safe to say that we\u2019re all patiently waiting to see the newest contestants and bombshells when season 7 premiers. As someone who was obsessed with season 6, I spent a lot of time watching the girls\u2019 makeup routines and taking note of every single product they used. <\/p>

Leah Kateb, who was the star of the show due to her witty one-liners and gorgeous dresses, also had some of the best beauty looks of the season. From her natural looks to her more extravagant full faces, the star used both high-end and drugstore makeup products to achieve her stand-out style. But one of her favorite products in the bunch? The Summer Friday\u2019s Lip Butter Lip Balm<\/a>. It was an absolute staple for her in the villa. I bought and tried it out to see if it\u2019s worth the hype.<\/p>
