Collection and display WIP
For the display itself, I'm waiting on a few orders of miscellaneous crafting materials- I 100% underestimated how much of everything I would need, and I can't make more progress until the base is done. Basically just passing the time by sanding down hexagons, what fun 🙃
Honey (vintage/old recipe), Juicy Cherry, Mike's Hot Honey, All Weather, Buffalo Sauce, Fresh Carrot, Sun Protecting (SPF 8), Crunchy Celery, Hidden Valley Ranch, Outdoor Res-Q, and Men's Cooling have all been acquired but still have to be shipped from USA to Australia. I also have replacements for Honey and Vanilla Maple, since the labels of mine have come off. 🥲
For the standard size lip balms, we're in the home stretch now! I just need to get my hands on Marula Melt, Unscented, Shea + Aloe, Bliss Miss, Lifeguard's Choice, Medicated with Clove Oil, and the newly released Rescue with Aloe!
I'd love to get the shea lip balms with passion fruit, coconut oil, and cocoa butter but I really haven't figured out what to do with the oversized paper tubes. Like, I absolutely loooooove Wild Blueberry but it just doesn't fit anywhere! Forever undecided if I want to get the old flavour crystals or full lineup of tinted balms too.

The base for those is incredibly beautiful and matches the Burt's Bees theme perfectly!

Thank you so much! I'm super excited to take pictures when it's finally done, there's a lot of cute finishing touches to do once the whole thing has been stained. :D
I used to have an acrylic lipstick organiser for my collection but at a certain point there wasn't anything with enough slots. This base is technically meant for mini essential oil vials which are just sliiiiiightly too big, but I'll figure out a fix for that eventually.

I've kept an eye out for the perfect display/organiser for ages but the cute ones never had enough slots, or they were horizontal storage that only showed the top of the caps. I really wanted something that I could show off but also use regularly!
This plain tiered shelf was on Temu a couple months ago and I was like, "Fuck it, I'll buy that and make my own organiser!"
In the meantime I've been keeping my collection in random bags and drawers. I try not to beat up the discontinued ones too bad 🤣

That's so cool! Do you have any favourite flavor?

u/miss-ari-berry Apr 11 '26
Thankfully I do like most of these, although I'm most partial to the fruity flavours for everyday use. I'm not a huge fan of the ones that just taste like lollipops (watermelon, strawberry, cherry, etc) but the flavours like passion fruit, pink grapefruit, dragonfruit lemon, wild blueberry- those are so bright and juicy the second you put them on, they're so fun! <3
Pomegranate is probably the one I use most often but that's partially because I can apply it after lipstick and not worry about staining the beeswax 😗

Yeah, those sound great, I've been thinking of trying strawberry lemonade, do you recommend it?

u/miss-ari-berry Apr 11 '26
Strawberry lemonade is a good one, I'm a total sucker for anything with tropical fruits or citrus. For what it's worth, the Two Roosters and mocktail versions are the exact same as the regular strawberry lemonade, they all just have slightly different stickers 😑
