Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Oh, now these sound fun! (And I'm not even a lip-gloss person!) Do you (or does anyone) know where you can get the sponge-tipped applicators? Carolyn, who *really* doesn't need one more amusing project Lava Lamp lip glosses Have you seen them? Clear plastic tubes with sponge-tip applicators filled with an oil and glycerin mixture that oozes back and forth like a Lava Lamp. [snip] --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 (I checked the list policies to be sure this was ok)... I found the tubes (as well as a bunch of cool containers) at this site: http://www.robertscontainer.com/main_lip_container.html > Oh, now these sound fun! (And I'm not even a lip-gloss person!)

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 You must do some business...25,000 containers is a little over my current supply & demand :-0 Sheila > (I checked the list policies to be sure this was ok)... > I found the tubes (as well as a bunch of cool containers) at this site: > http://www.robertscontainer.com/main_lip_container.html > > > Oh, now these sound fun!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Hi All Don't remember if I ever introduced myself to this group. If not, I apologize. I tend to be a lurker. Anyway, my name is Becky and I live in Washington State. I wanted to write to thank Cat for the wonderful lava lamp lip blam suggestion. I just made some and it's really cool! My nieces will love it once I locate some containers for it. Has anyone seen any suppliers of the little roll on lip gloss bottles or the ones with the sponge tip? I'm not up for buying a huge amount of these, so the supplier posted earlier won't work for me. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Happy Holidays! Becky bp1560@...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 When I clicked on a larger pic I noticed that they have a minimum order...sorry about that! :-( (too bad...they had some neat stuff!) Roll-on perfume/lip gloss bottles would work as well and I know that several bottle suppliers listed in the Library have no minimum order requirements.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 , It's my understanding they are not supposed to mix. Glycerin is water based? isn't it? The reason for using it, that is the lava part that swirls around with color in it. Hope I'm right. That is what mine do anyway. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 Hi : The glycerine/flavoring is a water-based liquid and isn't supposed to mix with the oil. The effect is supposed to replicate the old 70's Lava Lamps...an oozing, undulating liquid in a liquid. Personally, I don't care for them, but they are all the rage right now with the teenage crowd. Hope this helps! Cat > Okay, finally got around to experimenting with making a couple of these lava lamp lip glosses, using Cat's recipe in the archives from a while ago. After trying it out on myself, I'm seeing a problem and wonder if anyone else has, too. > > It seems to take *forever* and a day (in other words, much too long, lol) to completely mix the two units (glycerin/oil). It seems to me that as the tube is used up, that the oil will be gone and it will be mostly the colored/flavored part that remains at the bottom, which doesn't seem like a good idea. > > How well should the two units (glycerin/oil) combine when shaken and how long does it take to mix? Is there something I'm doing wrong? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
