health and beauty: lip gloss free of cost

If you care about what you put on your skin and you are concerned about the ingredients of today's cosmetics, making your own may be an ideal solution. Or perhaps you just want to save money or you simply cannot find the ideal item to suit you. Lip gloss is one item that you can make at home very easily, for a very small cost and you can flavor it to suit your own desires. Here is a very basic lip gloss recipe for you to try that uses beeswax, a product that is more natural than Vaseline (petroleum derived product). You can build on this basic recipe with the suggested additions or perhaps find a recipe which uses different ingredients.

  • Beeswax (a bar is best)
  • Flavoring and/or scent like drink flavoring.(You can also use honey for flavor and color. Just melt the honey with the Vaseline.)
  • Coloring (pinch a bit from your favorite lipstick or using food coloring)
  • Any additives you might like (coconut oil, honey spread, lavender)
  • Small containers (old lip gloss containers or you can buy plastic tubes at the drug store)
  • Oil
  • Better bee

    Everything you need to get started making beeswax candles and more.
  • 2
    Place a quarter cup of the beeswax in the pot.
  • 3
    Stir the mixture of oil and wax as it slowly melts together.
  • 4
    Put in microwave for 1 min.
  • 5
    Remove from heat once the wax and oil have melted together. Add desired flavorings, and/or color.
  • 6
    Pour it into small pots for storage.
  • 7
    Let it cool. and that's it. hope your lip gloss will send the world on fire!
