make sure excess air isn't getting into the tubes. if you've got extra air in the lip gelee tubes, pressure from other items can strain the seams of the plastic containers, and cause breakage and leakage of the product. altitute changes can also affect the tubes. make sure you're using a super light hand when squeezing out the product, and turn them upside-down some evening, to let all thegloss drain to one end, then squeeze out the extra air bubble (i hope that makes sense). i had a lipgelee leak once, and that's what my MA said to do.
also, you can squeeze a little of one into a 5g sample jar, which can make travelling with them easier. the plastic sample jars are more stable than the tubes, plus, it's easier to apply with a finger or a brush, rather than the squeezy tube.
