I melted one in the microwave, and it wasn't in there that long either. It went back into the palette, but it didn't look very pretty.
I bought a new tray and made it work and look pretty like this:
1. remove the lipstick from tube (or cut piece off) and place on large spoon. I used a large flat-ish serving spoon. I will save you some time, a ladle doesn't work, it doesn't pour tiny amounts as well as a flat spoon.
2. Hold spoon over the flame from a candle until the lipstick melts. you might have to use a toothpick to move the solid lipstick around in the melted lipstick to get it all melted and even.
3. Pour carefully into empty well.
In between shades wipe the spoon onto paper towels or cloth that you will throw away. It comes off quickly while the lipstick is still hot.
hope this helps, i love my lipmix palette
