Lip balm trial

My first attempt on making lip balm today went ok...
I did a lot of research on recipes and ingredients, there's so much great info out there.
My recipe turned out great - however my procedure was pretty bad - I made quite a mess
I had a funnel that didn't fit in the tubes well, and even if it did fit I couldn't see in there to see when the tube was full... So I overfilled a bunch of them

Oh well... it was my first time, and now I know

Disposable pipettes were mentioned by a few sites.. I might try to find a good deal on them.

I bought my tubes from ebay - 50 black for 7.15

I bought a rack for them on amazon for 5.99
