reflect:

After my fourth trial, I think it was a lot better, it wasn’t as soft as my recent lip balms, however, it did not fill the tube as much. Through my peers’ feedback, they really liked my scent, and they also said that it was a lot better than last time because it wasn’t as soft.  Overall for my fourth trial, I really liked it but I would change the amount of beeswax from 1g of beeswax to 1.3g of beeswax. Because for my fourth trial it didn’t really fill up the tube and beeswax helps make the lip balm moisturizing so it won’t be that soft and wouldn’t break from the middle.  I also changed my scent, because I didn’t really like the vanilla smell as much as the lemon smell so I changed the 4drops of vanilla back to 4drops of lemon.
