Miraculous Color-Changing Lip Balm Maker

Girls loved making their own chapstick. Was a great hit with the 8-9 year olds

I was a little hesitant to buy this because of some bad reviews. But I’m glad I went ahead and did it anyway, because my daughter loves them! It seems like most complaints were about the mix not being liquid enough. That made it harder to pour the mix into the tube without it solidifying too quickly. I did not use the water method to heat the wax base. I used a heat gun and it made it a complete breeze! Definitely have to be careful with using a heat gun/tool. You can melt the spatula and measuring cup if you’re not careful. But I use a heat tool often, so I’m comfortable with it. Made mixing and pouring SO EASY. Such a fun project for my daughter!

muy bueno

Bought this for my 8 year old daughter. Cute concept, but kind of a pain to do. You have to boil water and melt wax chips. If you don't mind having to do this, I highly recommend this item. I just personally don't like to do so much for a craft.

This was a birthday present for my 5yo niece and let me tell you, it was definitely the best present she could have gotten. She has throughly enjoyed making her own lip glosses. There is enough product left over, that when she finishes what she made, she can make more custom flavors!

Item arrived slow but definitely worth the wait once I received the item my 4 year old absolutely jumped with joy as I sat down at the table and created these beautiful colors

I gave this to my daughter as a Birthday present and if I could give this zero stars then I would.....we couldn't even get 3 of the lids off of the lip balms...it's like they were glued on there....and the wax beads WOULDN'T MELT and I did exactly what the directions said to do....I even tried microwaving them after the boiling water failed to work...and even after being microwaved they wouldn't melt! So it was impossible to even MAKE the lip balm because it was a chunky, waxy MESS. This was literally horrible 😫

I bought this for my 2 granddaughters ages 10 & 8. They were very excited to make these attractive looking lip balms. Unfortunately it turned out not to be fun at all. Most of the work had to be done by me, an adult. It doesn’t advise the kids to mix the wax and pellets in the tiny plastic mixing container held down in a cup of newly boiled water!! Obviously! I ended up doing all the mixing/melting myself and scolding my fingers several times while trying to hold the little plastic beaker down in the super hot water. They did not melt quickly and I ended up constantly changing the water to have it hot enough to melt the small amount of mixture inside. Also, the small amount of ingredients included in the set were making it stressful to make sure we had enough to fill the 5 tubes of lip balm included. In the end we were able to fill all 5 tubes, because I, the adult filled the tubes from the tiny beaker so they wouldn’t spill and waste the ingredients. They came out ok but 85% of the work had to be done by me. Tip:The little scooper provided to measure the wax was hard to empty into the beaker w the spatula provided so I used a lobster pik with a flat edge. It saved a lot of time & annoyance.

I had the Niece staying over and wanted a fun, productive craft to do with her. So order this and she spent many hours enthralled in this kit and had something to take home with her at the end!

Great project to keep granddaughter busy. She loves the kit.

Ingredients had leaked and seemed old and unworkable
