Lol, do you still use lip balm now or are you using the oil?

Ooo what can you use the cases for?

[dragoness129]

You can take it when you travel and roll up money to hide in it. You can make home-made chap stick and refill the tubes. Fill with salt/pepper and have some when you travel, camping, or at work or such. Soak a cottonball in perfume and shove in there, then apply as needed throughout the day, or stick in a drawer for smell goods. I even saw a Chapstick tube LED flashlight. You can store a plastic bag in there for if you need it either when shopping or to clean up your car. Travel toothpick holder to bobby pin case. So many things really! ^_^

That is an INSANE list of things you can do for such a small barrel of plastic... o-o I have been educated. xD Seriously though, I might try the perfume with cotton thing because cars smell terrible and I like to smell stuff.

@ Lemon - Yep, it is called Upcycling. You can do that with any old thing, clothing, books, bottlecaps, etc. So many things!

@ Shiro - Yep, it is pretty great!

Pinterest! A great place to find ideas for upcycling. But be careful cause the site can be addicting and you loose a ton of hours before you know it.

Those are fantastic ideas!!!!!

Now I just need to finish a tube of it. XD

[dragoness129]

Careful though, using chap stick can make you addicted to it, where you need to use it all the time. I am already that way myself. My lips feel dry, gotta put on chap stick.

My favorite lip stuff is the one the Dentist gave me - but I have no idea if it is a brand name because it has his label on it. It is nice and smooth and not pasty.

Well my mint lip balm is on its death stage as of now. But I don't think I've ever 'finished' a lipstick before ouo

I kinda lose them once I'm on the last 1/5 of the product x__x; Or I give them to someone else, since I think I kinda got tired of using that shade or something.

I have a tough time wearing lip stick - it feels too "heavy" on my lips to me.

I managed to get one to death row... I'd had it for over a year. but then I left it in the car. in texas. T_T
There was a little bit left too.
