SHOP DIY KITFrequent Questions
How do I refill my necklace or Bestie
Your LiLu necklace — or Bestie accessory — securely holds a Balm Pearl in the base of the pendant. Each Balm Pearl comes with a protective cap: press-fit the Balm Pearl into the necklace, cap and all, then gently twist the cap off and it's ready to use! Your finger never touches the balm. No messy application, no germs, no digging through your bag — no realizing you own 10 tubes but still have no balm with you. As the balm runs out, the silicone Balm Pearl makes an excellent lip exfoliator. Then discard — or keep it to refill with your DIY Kit — and press in a fresh Balm Pearl.
Will the balm melt in hot weather?
No — your necklace holds your Balm Pearl safely and securely, even in hot August weather, even in tropical locations. Our lip balm's melting point is well over 130°F. But, like all cosmetics, don't leave it in a hot car.
Can I refill it with my own favorite lip balm?
Yes — that's what our Easy 2-Minute Balm Pearl DIY Refill Kit is for. Melt your favorite balm, fill the mold, and make your own Pearls. One tip: use a traditional stick-style balm from a tube — lip tints, lipsticks, and softer balms may not set into stable Balm Pearls. Every DIY Kit ships with a free sample Balm Pearl so you can wear your necklace the day it arrives. Watch the quick demo on our FAQ page.
What comes with my necklace?
Every LiLu necklace comes beautifully packaged with 4 Balm Pearl refills in your choice of color — Radiant Red, Berry Blush, Perfect Pink, or Simple Shimmer Clear — or our Easy 2-Minute Balm Pearl Refill DIY Kit.
What are the pendants made of?
Our Polished and Satin finishes are jewelry-grade, nickel-free alloy with a robust plating — fine jewelry beauty at a more reasonable price. The Sterling Silver finish is genuine .925 sterling — nearly a full ounce of silver with a rhodium finish so it won't tarnish. Every pendant holds the same refillable balm system; the difference is the metal.
What's in the balm?
We make our balm in small batches with a simple, deeply moisturizing base: coconut oil, beeswax, sweet almond oil, and avocado oil. Tinted colors add safe cosmetic-grade pigment. Full ingredients are listed on every product page.
How do I care for my necklace and DIY Kit?
Take your necklace off before showering, swimming, or working out — water, chlorine, and sweat dull any finish over time. Skip liquid jewelry cleaners too: a soft cloth is all it needs, and it keeps chemicals away from where your balm lives. Wash the DIY Kit mold in hot water with dish detergent, drying completely before every use.
Is LiLu sustainable?
Genuinely, yes. Your necklace is designed to last a lifetime, and everything in the Easy 2-Minute DIY Kit can be used over and over. Refill with a lip balm sold in a cardboard tube and you've built a nearly zero-waste lip balm routine — no plastic tubes rolling around the bottom of your bag, or on your car floor, or in the jeans you put in the wash, ever again.
When will DIY Kits and gift sets be back in stock?
Soon! DIY Kits, Bestie Bundles, and Dream Kits are restocking in the coming weeks. Sign up for Back in Stock notices at the bottom of any page and we'll let you know the moment they arrive.
