I love this topic. I usually just use lipstick for blush and don't carry separate blush. I re-package a lot of things also, primarily in this type of reusable 0.5 oz / 15 mL tin.

Like you said, lip balm is something I really need and is a problem child, because good lip balms just do not come in very small packages and they also don't come in very large packages that I could repackage.
