Review (5/5): Easy to fill and easy to use!
My daughter loves using Chapstick, so I decided this would be a fun rainy day activity to do with her! Since these were for my daughter, I wanted to keep them fun with color and "flavor." We made our Chapstick with Kool-Aid! I used Kool-Aid specifically because these tubes are clear and I love seeing the color through them. These containers were fairly easy to fill. It takes a little more coordination than just a lip balm tin, but I like it in these containers better (especially since they are clear). They have held up well so far too. The caps stay on tight and the Chapstick "twists up" perfectly. I haven't noticed any other issues.
Here is the Kool-Aid Chapstick recipe we used:
4 Tbs Coconut Oil
3 Tbs Shea Butter
1 Tbs Beeswax, shaved
A Squirt of kool-aid (we used fruit punch)
1. Mix first three ingredients in a microwave save bowl.
2. After blended, heat for 1 minute.
3. Mix in the kool-aid until desired colour is reached.
4. Pour mixture into your containers and pop it into the fridge for an hour or two.
*I think these would make great gifts! Chapstick/lip balm is very easy to make and can be completely customizable which would be perfect for gift giving!*
