Soap Queen Project Sneak Peak!
Woo-Hoo, it’s another SoapQueenTV episode and today I’m mixing it up. It’s not soap! It’s all about lip balms, lip stains and lipsticks. Clocking in at a full 13 quality minutes, this is a longer, more detailed version of SoapQueen.TV than you’ve seen before.
This video will give you an idea of what you can expect for just $5.95 on our soon to be debuted Soap Queen TV Projects. It’s a new concept for Soap Queen TV: In depth projects with loads of extra footage and secrets that you can’t get anywhere else. Enjoy a soapmaking class from the comfort of your own home taught by me, the Soap Queen! These paid tutorials are longer videos with more complex projects often including extra goodies like label templates, special guests and printable project sheets. Don’t miss out on the fun!
But don’t fret, I’m not planning on changing my blog content. I’ll always be here for you providing fun ideas, finds and concepts and stop by every Thursday for the regularly scheduled tutorials and Soap Queen TV videos.
I’m so excited for this week’s Soap Queen TV because it’s my first episode where I branch out and do something other than soap projects. Hang on to your seats, because I’m going to show you how to make 2 different recipes- a small batch for you and your close friends and a larger batch that will make 50 lip balms at once! Now sit back, relax and enjoy 13 Minutes of Lip Smackin’ Fun.
After the two week period this video will be available for just $5.95 for unlimited access.

Sorry guys i lost my password to my account, so pissed off! Jamisen’s walking now!
You lost your password to the Bramble Berry account? Or do this video after you paid for it? Just email us at info (at) brambleberry (dot) com and we’ll get you set up to watch the video.
PS – So cool that you spell your name exactly like mine. I’ve never met anyone else that did =)
Anne-Marie- don’t be so kind, ‘Anne-Marie’ is pretending to be you! She can’t have a baby named Jamisen too.
LOL! =) You never know and it’s so much easier to assume goodwill. My Jamisen baby still isn’t walking … soon though! =)
Hi Anne-Marie! This recipe uses peppermint essential oil (2nd). However, when I looked at the BB site, there is no little green “I’m edible and lip balm safe” badge. I called BB to verify and was told that it is not safe for lip balm. I’m confused. Could you please clarify?
Hi Lisa – At the time this recipe was posted, our second distillation was edible but different batches, different processors etc… mean that the essential oils need to be certified with each batch. That said, I’m clearly seeing a notation on the item currently that it is safe for lip balm (“Edible: Yes (& Kosher”). Do you recall who gave you the incorrect information? Perhaps they didn’t read the description of the oil and were just looking for the the little green ‘Yes, I’m edible’ logo?
I spoke to Elizabeth when I called. (She was really sweet, by the way.) I saw the note you mention (“Edible: Yes (& Kosher”), but she told me that if it was lip safe it would definitely have the green logo. She told me that anything that was lip safe would have that logo. No logo = no lip safe. Is there any way I can determine if what I have here is safe for lip balm? Thanks!
I order all the essential oils and the Peppermint is ordered from the world’s largest peppermint farm/distillery that supplies to gum and toothpaste manufacturers – it’s definitely safe and has been for the last couple years. I came to work this morning and asked our marketing gal why we had pulled the logo from that one and she said it was because we had too many customers adding too much Peppermint EO to their lip balm and then complaining about the cooling burn so they pulled the logo. We’re still discussing putting it back on our not with more strong usage rate warnings. =)
Great! That’s what I needed to know. I love that you answer questions so completely. You really go out of your way for your customers. Your work & time is appreciated!
Nice tips I definitely try this ” rel=”nofollow”>lip balm at my home..
I've never seen soap blow up a microwave like beeswax. I suspect this is because beeswax takes so much longer to heat up. And also, the size of the container really plays a role. If the container is 100% full and you're stirring frequently, the beeswax/microwave issue should be fine – so long as you're stirring frequently! =)
Great tutorial. You said in the video to avoid the microwave. Does soap ever blow up in the microwave like the lip balm. I've heard some soapers suggest avoiding the microwave for soap but mostly because it's easier regulate the temperature.
This is great! I have made lip balm, but it's so nice to see it done with a video and gives me different ideas, thanks!

Fun video. I am tempted to purchase some M&P just to make cleanup easier!
Jessie – Brilliant suggestion! Sometimes those little labels can be awfully tiresome to try and peel off =)
Cindy – A full sheet of one style on one sheet? I'll ask our designer. I've got them busy on the Bramble Berry newsletter this week and I'll keep you posted.
Very nice, Love the labels too! Question – is there a way to get only one style label to a full sheet? I'm technically challenged…
Love to video, I have a tip when dealing with full sheet labels, score the back of the sheet with an exacto knife before cutting out the labels. It makes it soo much easier to get the backing off.
Your tutorial videos are definitely totally worth that! I love, love, love the soaping DVDs I bought from BB. 🙂
Thanks for the free preview!
That was a great tutorial–easy to follow. The labels really add that finishing touch!
Great video! Love the heat gun and cleanup tips, too!
twin buzzle, honey is water soluble and will likely bead up or sink to the bottom of your lip balm. Some people try it and just stir, stir, stir while it cools to try to keep the honey suspended, but it has mixed results.
Very nice tutorial Anne-Marie, love the shamrock green and the cute polka dots!
Thanks everyone! I am so glad that you're liking the video and finding it helpful. And, it's good that the 13 minutes wasn't dragging for you! Yippeee. Laura, depending on the complexity of the project and video shoot, the pricing may vary a bit but my goal is to make it affordable for everyone to learn longer, more complex projects. And of course, I'll keep doing the blog with fun and unique soaping ideas here =)
GREAT video! I love all of the great tips! The time flew by as I watched.
you are so awesome anne-marie! thanks!
Wow! Great ideas! Thanks for sharing it. I will take note of that.
Ann-Marie,
Is it ok to sweeten lip balm with a teensy bit honey? And thanks for another great video:D
This is great. Love the labels. Thank you!
Thank you! I love making lip balms as presents. This ep is full of great helpful hints, and I love how cheery you always are during them. 🙂 The only problem now is resisting buying more supplies…
Will it be $5.95 a tutorial video, then?
awesome video! the heat gun tip is a super plus…and I loved the fact that you demonstrated on two different scale versions 🙂
Loving the clean up tips! 😉
Are we on the same wavelength this week? I did lip balm today too!
