Have you seen the commercials for make-up lately? They all have terms like: “all natural”, “organic”, “paraben-free”…but what does it all mean?

Then, I looked up the actual ingredients in store bought lip gloss and I can’t even pronounce most of what’s in them.

So I thought to myself, why not just make my own lip gloss? That way, I know exactly what’s in it. Turns out, it’s a lot easier than I thought!

This is a great project and is something that is perfect for a lazy Saturday. It’s even a fun activity to do with kids (think sleepover crafts!)

Ingredients:

      1 Tbsp (botanical) Un-petroleum Jelly
      1 Tbsp organic coconut oil
      ¼ tsp organic shea butter
      1/8 tsp organic sweet almond oil
      ¼ tsp organic liquid lanolin
      1/8 tsp organic vegetable glycerin
      10 pellets organic bees wax (optional – this is all about the preferred texture. If you want more of a chapstick, use the bees wax, if you prefer more of a liquid, don’t use it)
      10 drops vitamin C serum (optional)
      5 drops peppermint essential oil (optional, used as a limp plumper)
      Mineral eye shadow (I use copper but there are lots of colors!)

Other:

      lip gloss containers
      eye dropper
      bowls
      small pan for heating
      spatula

Directions:

      On low heat, melt the first 6 ingredients.
      Add the bees wax once the rest is melted.
      Then turn off the heat and add the vitamin C, peppermint, and mineral eye shadow.
      Mix together and then pour into your gloss container. If using the bees wax, you need to do this quickly because it begins to harden. I use an eye dropper (and no bees wax) for the lip gloss containers which have a wand.
      Once it cools, it’s ready to use.

Variations:

      Play around with different amounts of bees wax for different textures.
      Try different colors of eye shadows in different amounts (try less for more of a sheer tint and more for a bolder look).
      Try micro-glitter to give your lip gloss some fun pizzaz!

Where to Buy Items:
All of the items that I bought can be easily found on Amazon. I’m sure you can also find them at your local stores. Shop around to compare prices so that you get the best bang for your buck.

Happy crafting!
