Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read a few of these reviews and became very skeptical of my purchase after it had already shipped, and after I'd already planned on giving away homemade lip balms with my Christmas gifts. I had all the ingredients, my own labels, and everything in order, so I was anxious to receive these and find they didn't hold the balm, or that the caps didn't stay put as other reviewers said... I'm pleased to say I had NO issue with these whatsoever. The one difference between the product I received and the ad is that the caps I got were also transparent, like the tubes themselves. To me, it's a complete non-issue. I even think I prefer the transparent caps myself. The caps stay secure in place, on level with Burt's Bees, Chapstick, or Blistex lip balm tubes. The crank to twist the product up functions flawlessly, and I think they look brilliant when done. Another thing people noted is that you can only fill the containers up about 3/4 of the way. Well... I hate to break it to you, but that's most definitely also the case with the store bought lip balm brands, it's just that their tubes aren't transparent like this, so you can't see it as well. When filled and before I stuck the label on them, they didn't look empty or used at all due to this. It just looks like it has room for the mechanism that pushes the product up when you need it to. If you check out the picture on Amazon, that bottom area is about the size of the bottom area in the ones you'll receive. I wouldn't hesitate to get these! I'm saving so much money on lip balm now, and there's a million recipes online that can get you started. These tubes are an incredible value, and greater quality than many reviewers give them credit for.
