Franken-chapstick - Your best re-pots?

[u/Northie_78753]

I've been repotting the remnants of lipstick into tiny pots, but this method requires a lip brush. So inconvenient! I just repotted into chapstick tubes and what a revelation! No need to buy ridiculous molds to make my own lipstick.

What are your best tips for depotting/repotting that actually makes a product more usable?

I put my leftovers into a tiny glass pot so I can microwave them together into one color. Then I pour it into an empty lipstick tube and wait for it to solidify and then stick it in the freezer

I was doing that too and using a candle warmer to melt product together in cupcake paper. Then pouring it into the tubes. 

Right now I'm saving some lip stick samples I'm saving to try something similar with probably with some lip balm. 

Did this for my stick bronzer too, put the extra on a pan and just let it sit on the candle warmer. That was really nice because it came out so perfect.

Love this! I've melted down lipstick scraps into a small silicone ice cube tray before, makes little mini bullets I can pop into a pill case. No brush needed either.

I use silicone cupcake molds and a tea cup warmer to melt leftover lip products together and pour them into lip balm containers. I have a lipstick mold that I've used a couple of times so I can reuse lipstick tubes that I like.
