| I love our Lip Solutions, but sometimes I want more than just Coffee Flavor. If other java junkies are like me, I think they would want to know how to add Coffee Butter to the Lip Solutions and have it work. This lip balm will be firmer than our Lip Solutions, but I’ve found that most people who want the Coffee Butter in the lip balm want a firmer lip balm anyway.
Collect needed items: Jar of Lip Solutions of your choice (I’m using the Shea Lip Solutions) To be added to the Lip Solutions: Place the jar of Lip Solutions on the scale and tare. Add the Coffee Butter and Beeswax to the jar. Microwave in short burst to melt the Lip Solutions, Coffee Butter and Beeswax. Once the lip balm is melted completely, fill lip balm tubes. Notes: The Coffee Butter adds a great scent to the lip balm. You can add Sugar Baby Flavor Oil to sweeten the lip balm if you don’t want to add any other flavors. If you would like to add more flavor, you can add Coffee Flavor Oil for a Java Java Lip Balm, Vanilla Banilla Flavor Oil for a Vanilla Cappuccino Lip Balm, or any other flavor you would like to add. It’s your imagination and you are the barista, so have fun!

I just love this blog! I can’t wait to try everything on it!
I am so tempted to make some of these!!!!!
How many tubes did your batch fill?
kathyjane-
My batch made 77 tubes and a partial. It will vary a little from batch to batch because sometimes spills happen!
I ALWAYS HAVE TROUBLE WITH MY LIP BALM TUBES NOT ROLLING MY LIP PRODUCT BACK DOWN. DO YOU KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENS?!
Generally it is a wax issue. This means, almost always, that the amount of wax is too much for the tubes to handle. It happens when stiffer waxes are used instead of more pliable waxes. Candelilla, Carnauba, Stearic Acid, and even Soy Wax can cause this.
