reflect:

After my first trial, I think it went pretty well, I really liked how it was moisturizing well and had a really good amount filling the tube. However, the shape of my lip balm wasn’t that great and I had too little of the scent.  So using peers’ feedback, next time I would maybe add one more drop of scent to my lip balm, try to make the shape better, and also change the 0.75g of almond oil to 0.70g of almond oil because through my peer feedback people said that there might be a little bit too much oil so for my second trial I would try adding less oil.
