Horizon Group USA Barbie Make Your Own Layered Lip Balm Kit, DIY 5 Custom Lip Balms By Mixing Flavors Like Vanilla, Strawberry, Watermelon & Tropical Punch, Multicolored

I was a little hesitant to buy this because of some bad reviews. But I’m glad I went ahead and did it anyway, because my daughter loves them! It seems like most complaints were about the mix not being liquid enough. That made it harder to pour the mix into the tube without it solidifying too quickly. I did not use the water method to heat the wax base. I used a heat gun and it made it a complete breeze! Definitely have to be careful with using a heat gun/tool. You can melt the spatula and measuring cup if you’re not careful. But I use a heat tool often, so I’m comfortable with it. Made mixing and pouring SO EASY. Such a fun project for my daughter!

Great project to keep granddaughter busy. She loves the kit.

Ingredients had leaked and seemed old and unworkable

I bought this kit to help keep my 8 year old busy and as a rainy day activity for the summer. She loved the process and was impressed with the result. The box states it’s recommended for ages 6 and up, but my 8 year old needed plenty of help. One of the steps requires boiling water and placing the cup into it as the way to melt the wax base and beads for the chapstick. The cup floats, so I had to help her hold it down while she stirred the contents. This was the only step she could not do on her own both for personal safety reasons and coordination. This is a fun kit for kids who are hands on and a fun alternative to the “slime frenzy”lately.

Bought as a gift for my seven year old and she had so much fun making them. Help is needed for the boiling water and stirring. The steam and heat from the water is HOT and could easily burn your child. But super fun project to do with them.
