The lemon drop martini, or “lemontini,” is a quintessential summer cocktail that blends bright, tart citrus with a sweet profile. It’s shaken to perfection and served in an icy glass rimmed with sparkling sugar, with each sip delivering a balanced burst of sweetness. The vibrant, yellow martini often makes it to sun-drenched afternoons at pools, rooftop bars, and dinner parties.
This playful drink inspired rhode’s latest launch: the Lemontini Peptide Lip Tint. Even though it was just announced last night, this lip balm is already generating online buzz. Social media feeds are filled with first impressions, waitlist confirmations, and beauty influencers that are eager to try the new shade. With rhode’s reputation for viral drops and Hailey Bieber teasing the product across her platforms, the Lemontini lip tint might be one of the most anticipated beauty launches of the summer.
What’s in rhode’s tini announcement?
rhode is dropping a new, limited-edition peptide lip tint that will only be available for the summer. Lemontini is a sheer, gold gloss inspired by a lemon drop martini, and the tint promises the same hydrating, plumping benefits that have made the peptide lip line a staple in makeup collections. The golden shimmer is designed to flatter all skin tones and add a sparkling finish that can be paired with an effortlessly dewy, summer-ready look.
rhode reformulated this new lip tint by swapping the solid shea butter for a liquid version to prevent the graininess that customers have complained about in the past. The new and improved formula ensures a smooth texture with every swipe, and the Lemontini tint will be the first new shade and formula update for rhode’s cult-favorite lip line. This new formula will roll out to the rest of the peptide lip tint collection on August 14th.
The new lip tint will be available for $20 on rhodeskin.com. Some customers are dissatisfied with the price increase from $18 for the original formula and shades, voicing their concerns across social media platforms. One commenter on Instagram says, “Things don’t add up. Elf bought Rhode for [$1 billion] yet prices continue to rise up…Charging $20 is crazy.” Others don’t mind the price increase, saying that the increase is probably due to the reformulation and pointing out rhode’s price is lower than comparable lip products like Summer Fridays ($24). Despite this pushback, anticipation for the Lemontini is still high, and it’s expected to sell out within minutes.
Where can I get the Lemontini?
Lemontini will be available exclusively on rhodeskin.com starting July 14th at 9 a.m. PT, and you can join the waitlist for the product right now. For those looking to channel a little Amalfi Coast energy – or for those that just want lips that look as good as they smell – this gloss will deliver.
