Several years ago, I had a line of lip tints. They went over OK, but not stellar. In the last several months, I have been asked countless times, about whether I would have them again. Now I can answer YES! The last time I tried making them, I had issues with the color "sinking" and not staying consistent throughout the container. Today, armed with an arsenal of new ingredients and ideas, I think I am close. This base formula is a bit different than my usual lip balm base (it needs to be in order to suspend the color), and I am still in the tweaking mode for the base formula, but I am happy to report that new lip tints will be forthcoming. My first sample batch is staying nicely suspended and the colors are kind of nice. Now... What colors does everyone like for spring/ summer? I will aim for 3-5 total colors. These are the ones I created last time and I am shooting for similar colors. Should I put them in pots or tubes?
Personally, I prefer tubes and if no one has a preference, I will probably use them. I have some translucent oval tubes that would work nicely for these.

Good to hear the lip tints are almost ready! I've had the Trillium and Thistle in the past and like those colors. I like the tubes as well.

AuthorI like to walk the line between the creative and the analytical. Making soaps and other body care products allows me to explore both sides. I am always in awe of bees and what gifts they provide for us. There are many things to be learned.... Archives
