reflect:

After my second trial, I think it went pretty well, I really liked how it was moisturizing well and had a really good amount filling the tube. The shape also was better than my first trial, and I think it might be because I let it cool for a longer time. After changing the number of drops I have of my scent it also was a lot better. Through my peers’ feedback, they all said that it was just perfect and I could continue using this recipe. Overall for my third trial, I would change the fragrance to lemon because for my first two trials I both did mandarin so for my third one I would try to change the smell and have something new.
