How can I make lip gloss at home?

I want to make some with very simple ingredients, not vitamin E or any of that kind of stuff.How can I make lip gloss at home?
Beeswax and flavor extracts. That's all you need. If you don't want to have to use the stove, just mix the extracts with petroleum jelly.How can I make lip gloss at home?
I have been trying out a couple of homemade gloss and balm recipes - some work and some don't.





Check out my blog at http://www.potionslotionsandnotions.blogspot.com/





I've had the best luck with Olive Oil, beeswax and petroleum jelly (but a lot of people seem to be opposed to petroleum jelly)





Take a look at my results and see if it's useful.

1. Put a small dab of Vaseline on the back of your hand


2. Take some kind of red/pink/whatever you want color of eyeshadow or blush, and mix it in with the Vaseline on your hand


3. When thoroughly mixed in, apply to your lips!





When you're done, just wipe whatever is left off your hand.


I hope this helped!!
Blend a half cup of lotion (any brand), a half cup of baking soda or corn starch, and 2 tablespoons of red food coloring. Sprinkle a tiny bit of cinnamon for taste, and small glitter for flair. The mixture will look weird stand alone, but work perfectly once applied.
Use a small bowl to mix 1 tbsp of the solid vegetable shortening and 1 tsp of honey. In a separate bowl, mix the drink mix and 1/4 tsp of hot water until it is dissolved. Stir in as much of the drink mix as possible. The actual amount will depend on the temperature of water. The more you can dissolve, the stronger the flavour will be.





You can choose the color and flavor of you lip gloss by the type of drink mix you use.





Add one drop of the water mixture to the shortening/honey base. Stir well. Repeat until you get the color/flavor combination you want. Pour into a clean container or old lip gloss pot.





Store in the refrigerator. Keeps for 3 days, but it tastes so good that you will use it up very fast!
Lip gloss is a mixture of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate. Use it and share it with your friends. Especially any friends you have that smoke.
Why bother? Gloss is very cheap.

Well, if you want pinkish-purple lip gloss then i can help. In a freezable bowl, put 2 tablespoons of shredded beeswax and mix well with 2 tablespoons of hot water and 1 tablespoon of oil(any type). Then add 1 and a 1/2 tablespoons of beetroot juice.Finally put the mixture into the fridge for an hour (or two).


You can add scented oils if you wish but only put about 1 teaspoon.





Hope this helped!
