Broken Lippie...what to do?

Post by JenK » Wed Oct 06, 2010 8:09 am

I have a lippie that I pulled out of my bag and it broke off and got smashed in the lid... messy and ugly. I can still use it w/ a brush, but is there any way to melt it back or "kind" of fix it?

Thanks

I have turned them all the way down....smushed everything back in...and then microwaved in 20 second bursts until the product melted back into the tube. Leave it upright to cool overnight. Usually, it works like a charm.

The most important thing is to not overheat it, and be careful about handling the hot tube. It might even be a good idea to put ithe tube upright in a microwave safe mug and kind of secure it to the edge of the cup with a wadded paper towel.
