HTHOk, I'm gonna have to be a doy, lol, is that before you pull them out of the tray?? and I take it you don't fill to the top?? Thank you so very much B@Bliss :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) It just means that as the balm cooled it shrank a bit. I get that and tend to top off to avoid that 'sunken' or concave in the center look. I don't use a tray. Maybe thats the difference. Maybe not using a tray the balm tends to cool faster. I am always going back a second and sometimes third time to top off. Edited February 26, 2013 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micayla75 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I don't use a tray. I use pipettes and fill each one individually. My tops look similar to those depending on the temperature of the lip balm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
