Lip Gloss DIY

So this weekend after going on a Youtube frenzy, I came to a conclusion that maybe I can make Lip Gloss at home. 

So their is simply way which I will show last and a Fancy way, which I am going to show you first! Now this one is my own and I didnt copy from any of the Youtube's I watched. Just ideas. Okay so here it goes. EEEEEEK! <---- me excited!

So this is the outcome! Pretty impressive huh! I did pat my back afterward :D

And these are all the products I used. 

So this is how things went down! 

• The plastic case the lip gloss is in, cost me $0.97 at Walmart. The case came with 2 so even more of a deal, and there were 3 different colors to choose from.
• Waxelene I bought on amazon for $7
• Vitamin E bought at some health store here. But I have seen it at Rite Aid. But Its just vitamin E.
• Avocado Oil also bought from amazon for $16
• Arabian Sandalwood I got mine from an herb shop in Austin, TX. but I linked it up to an amazon seller. FYI I love the way it smells. Don't let the name fool you. I used it to mask any smell and its just soft
• Crayons. Yup I used crayons, I have seen others use eye shadow but I know crayons on lead free and less toxin since its for kids.

Steps:

1. I put a small pot of boiling water on the stove, then put a smaller bowl or glass item just to melt the items together. I guess I should of taken a picture of that huh. Lesson learned.
2. Put 2 teaspoon of Waxelene (if you don't have that you can use: Bee wax, coco butter, shea butter, and vaseline)
3. Then I dropped in the crayon colors I wanted. I decided to be fancy and put tiny bits of purplish color here, a peach color there, and a pink. 
4. Start mixing it with a tooth pick to get it going it and you don't want to over cook your lip gloss. So if it gets to hot turn it down or take it off the stove. 
5. Then as the other stuff is melting I put (these parts i just winged it) Avocado oil in it. A say a good squeeze once. 
6. Poured 4 drops of Arabian sandalwood 
7. Few drops of Vitamin E. That stuff is just sticky!
8. Mix it good. 
9. Pour it in your lip gloss container and don't move it after you pour it so it can set in perfect.
10. Then pop it in the freezer, 5 to 8 mins later you have Lip gloss!!

I will try to post a video next week.

Any questions just let me know.


Fast quick lip gloss 
For a quick way to make lip gloss just heat up 2 table spoons of vaseline and half a crayon of your choice. Mix it up, take it off the heat and pour your liquid lip gloss in its new container. Place it in the freezer for 8 mins and your lip gloss is ready. For Darker color on your lips put more crayon then vaseline.
