I love the idea of creating a lip lotion palette too, as a gift. Wouldn't that be beautiful?

If you want to brand your ain lip balm palette, you just need a plastic or drinking glass container that has multiple compartments similar mine, instead of the pill containers.

I bought the palette I used a long time ago and cannot for the life of me remember where I got it, Simply it's a jewelry organizer similar to this i I found on Amazon. Promise that helps.
