Pricing Your Lip Gloss:
A common question is... How much should I charge?
An industry pricing standard is 2X - 5X what it cost to produce your product. We've been successful at selling our pre-filled branded wholesale lip gloss, Audacious Charm, at $20 per tube.
Resell value may fluctuate depending on:
- Presentation
- Customer Base
- Trustworthyness
Having a fundraiser or current warm audience that "Know, Like, and Trust You" will allow you to price more aggressively.
When was the last time you donated to a fundraiser for nothing in return?
Imagine how many people would donate for an actual super cute practical product made by their favorite SUPERSTAR!

MBV Superior Bulk Lip Gloss Base Is Premium Quality! In the lip gloss world, it all comes down to...
...Hydrogenated Polyisobutene vs Mineral Oil. Mineral oil is way cheaper... BUT You Get What You Pay For! Which is usually dry chapped lips.. Ouch!
What is in MBV Superior Bulk Lip Gloss Base? Our lip gloss base has the same ingredients as the top brands you can purchase at your local high-end cosmetics stores. We've defined the six main ingredients below:
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is a gel-like substance that helps to make the lip gloss smooth and easy to apply.
- Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer is a polymer that helps to provide a glossy finish to the lip gloss.
- Grapeseed (Vitis Vinifera) Oil is known for its moisturizing properties and ability to nourish the lips.
-
Sunflower (Helianthus Annuus) Seed Oil is a natural emollient that helps to keep the lips soft and supple.
- D-Alpha-Tocopherol is a natural form of vitamin E that helps to protect the lips from environmental damage and promote healthy cell growth.
-
Flavor adds a pleasant nostalgic smell to the lip gloss.
Enhance Your Lip Care Routine!
Say goodbye to chapped, dry lips. MBV Superior Bulk Lip Gloss Base is an emollient, which means it not only acts as a barrier, but it also increases moisture and plumpness while decreasing scaling, cracking, and lip lines, leaving your lips soft and smooth!

INSTRUCTIONS: HOW TO USE A LIP GLOSS KIT
CLEAN / SANITIZE
- Clean/Sanitize your workstation and hands.
- Our lip gloss tubes do not need to be pre-wash! Similar to cutlery and paper products, our lip gloss tubes meet a standard of clean.
- If you decide to wash your lip gloss tubes, make sure they are completely dry before using.
Creating Your Lip Gloss Formula
- Add pigment to a bowl.
- Add consistency oil & mix well.
- Add clear lip gloss base & mix well.
* Add as much oil and pigment as you desire. Have fun and create your own unique lip gloss formula. Make adjustments and make sure to record your final lip gloss formula.
- Adding too much glitter may cause your lip gloss to be gritty.
- Using excessive amounts of pigment will not change coverage.
- Full coverage glossy lip products are usually called liquid lipstick and require different ingredients.
- Don't give up! Testing is a part of the process. You can always use our Bulk Lip Gloss Base instead.
CUT 1ML PIPETTE & ATTACH TO SYRINGE
- Cut off the skinny tip of the pipette.
- Cut off all of the bubble end of the pipette.
- Attach the cut pipette to the tip of the syringe. It should fit snug!
*There should be minimal spilling when used properly. If the syringe method is too tricky or you're losing a lot of product, please STOP and ask for help! Click on the chat button below and send a picture to customer service now.
Common Lip Gloss Syringe Filling Mistakes:
- A syringe is not needed when using the pouch-to-tube method. Find instructions on how to use our pouch-to-tube method at the top of this page.
- The 1mL pipette is for the syringe method only.
- Both ends of the pipette must be cut.
- All of the bubble end of the pipette must be cut off.
- Oily gloves may cause the ink on the syringe to smear. Cover measurements with tape.
- The pipette must be put onto a clean syringe tip. If slipping occurs, use napkins to clean the tip and pipette and re-attach.
- Don't give up! Learning a new skill may take patience and multiple tries to become a Pro.
FILLING A SYRINGE
- Detach the plunger portion of the syringe.
- Prop the syringe up in a heavy cup or mason jar.
- Pour lip gloss base straight from the pouch into the syringe.
- Before attaching the plunger - place the pipette end of the syringe system into an empty lip gloss tube. This will help prevent spilling from the pressure.
- Push the plunger into the syringe and fill your lip gloss tube
WATCH THIS VIDEO on how to fill a syringe with lip gloss base:
FILL LIP GLOSS TUBES
- Wand tubes can't be filled to the max.
- Some empty space is needed for the stopper.
- Some empty space is also needed for the displacement caused by inserting the wand.
- Overfilling wand tubes may make inserting the wand difficult. Discard a small amount of lip gloss until the stopper stays down.
- Squeeze tubes can be filled to the max to prevent them appearing empty and used.
* Continue reading for common mistakes when inserting the stopper.
ADDING CHARMS TO LIP GLOSS
- Fill your lip gloss tubes halfway with lip gloss base.
- Add a few charms.
- Add more lip gloss base.
- Insert the stopper.
- Insert the wand and use the wand to distribute the charms.
* The charms can also be added in layers. Make sure to keep the opening of the lip gloss tube clean to prevent stopper issues.
WATCH THIS VIDEO on how to add charms to your lip gloss:
LIP GLOSS STOPPERS & TOPS
- Push the stopper into the lip gloss tube.
- Screw the top or wand on.
- Over filling wand tubes may cause the stopper to pop out. Discard a small amount of lip gloss until the stopper stays down.
- Trapped air may cause pressure that forces the stopper to pop back out when inserting the wand. Try releasing the pressure inside the tubes or poke a small hole in your stopper to act as a release valve.
- Getting too much lip gloss on the lip gloss tube opening may cause stopper issues. Use a clean napkin to wipe the tube opening and the stopper and try again.
KEEP YOUR GLOVES CLEAN
No bath needed if you keep your gloves and workstation clean. Keep your gloves clean with napkins and alcohol or simply change them. A final tube wipe down with alcohol is recommended.
- We personally would not sell any lip glosses that get extremely messy and oily.
- Remember that presentation is important!
