Here are a couple of preview recipes from our free lip gloss e-book that you will receive when you sign up for our newsletter:
Basic Lip Gloss I
• 1/4 cup vegetable or nut oil
• 1/4 ounce beeswax
• 1 teaspoon honey or glycerine
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon natural flavouring oil aka Essential Oil.
Heat the oil and beeswax in a double boiler (or microwave) until the beeswax has melted. Remove from heat and whip with an electric beater until creamy.
Add the honey or glycerine and approximately 5 drops of flavouring oil; whip some more. Add more flavouring if desired.
Store in small glass jars, small tupperware bowls, decorative tins or film containers.
If the Balm is too hard (waxy), add more oil to your mixture. If it is too soft, add more wax.
You can add a few drops of beet juice for a beautiful & natural red colour.
But instead of going to that trouble, you can just shave off a little of your lip stick for colour. Make sure that you only use a NEW lipstick for this. One that you've used for a while could be contaminated with bacteria.
Tip: Don't use food colouring as it may contain alcohol base.
