It's a good idea to crush eyeshadow and then use Vaseline.








You can also try something like melting old lipstick, adding vitamin E, and add flavoring, like peppermint oil, beeswax, and cocoa butter.





Essential oils such as vanilla makes for good scents to your lip gloss. Cinnamon oil can plump your lips, but don't use too much of it. It can sting your lips badly.








A recipe for homemade lip gloss





1 teaspoon beeswax/parafin wax


1 teaspoon petroleum jelly


A few drops candy flavoring, presweetened kool-aid mix, or mint flavoring.





Heat each separately over the stove (med/low heat),





Combine wax and petroleum jelly, blend well, remove from heat and add flavor/coloring.





I also add a drop or 2 from a vitamin E capsule at a time.





After it cools check it for the right consistency.


If it's too hard remelt and add more Petroleum Jelly. Too runny, add more wax.





Do you have a lipstick that you can't use because it is too dark. You can add a few slivers of that lipstick to the hot mixture. This gives the lipbalm a soft tint.





I usually quadruple this recipe to make it worth the time.





The tiny gourmet jelly jars that come in gift baskets are great containers, so are the really tiny ';Altoid tins';. You can also try to use a dark film container. Or use an old watercolor paint set.





Keep the mixture in the fridge for at least 30-40 minutesfor the colors to set.





Use care if doing this - petroleum jelly is flammable








Some suggestions: You can use beet juice for the tint. (Coffee for a brown tint). Kool-Aid can also work as a tint.

You can mix mineral makeup with vaseline and make any color you want. I have Bare Minerals Sheer Radiance (a shimmery light pink) and mix it with other lip glosses all the time, and have used regular chapstick before. It looks beautiful!
chop up a crayon of the color that you want your lipgloss to be into a powder/ gel material. then put a equal size of vaseline. mix them up very well so they are well blended. then applie.





p.s.


use non-toxic crayons!!
