lip balm samples

[Guest guest]

Hi again,

 

As I drifted off to sleep last night, I thought of this possible

scenario for lip balm samples: I use coffee stirring sticks to stir

my waxes and oils together when I'm making lip balm; I can also to

test the hardness/softness of the blend as I'm working by rubbing the

smooth, rounded end on my lips. The lip balm sets up almost

immediately after being lifted from the hot mixture.

 

So why not cut the coffee stirring sticks into 2 1/2 " lengths saving

the rounded ends and throwing away the middles. These could be dipped

in 1/2 " of warm balm mixture and then a little piece of wax paper

folded over, I'm sure it would stick. A small basket or bowl of these

would allow people to sample independently.

 

This is what I do at night instead of counting sheep.

 

Best to all,

i'm working on this! i've actually found some 2.5 " wood " lipstick tester "

spatulas so there's no need to cut and potentially make splinters. i'm

deciding whether to buy 10,000 for $50 or 1,000 for $9 with a $50 order

minimum ... i'm also waiting for some samples b/c i want to test it out

before shelling out my $50 either way. i also don't do very many shows, and

want to include samples with orders shipped and pass out lip balm samples as

I pass people on the slopes (whether it's snowboarding, mountain biking,

hiking) so I want to find a little baggy or other covering to put the

" lipstick dips " into.

 

thanks to everyone for all the great suggestions and ideas; i am putting

together a summary of what i've found and plan to post it to the groups'

files section (one of these days!!). a sell off on the lipstick tester

spatulas may also be looming if I end up with 10,000 of them!!!!

they are the 3rd item from the top. I buy from this site a lot.

For small samples, I use the heat seal pouches from here.

If you don't have an impulse sealer, you can use an iron to seal the packets
