Luscious Lip Gloss!
This is really nice, creamy Lip Gloss!! It turned out awesome and we had a blast making it. You can use any flavors or colors, or any combination. We made chocolate peppermint, raspberry vanilla, coconut raspberry, and root beer. Lots of possibilities!
3 TBS Petroleum Jelly
1 TBS grated beeswax
6 candy melts or 2-3 TBS chocolate chips
1 tsp almond oil
Extract flavors, oils, and/or food color
Melt petroleum jelly and beeswax together (I did it in the microwave). Add melts or chocolate & almond oil. Mix until smooth, heat a little more if necessary but be careful not to burn the melts. Add the food color a little at a time until desired hue. Add flavors, starting with a 1/2 tsp or 10 drops and add more as necessary (don't add too much at once! Its easy to add more but impossible to take it out!) Cool and spoon into ziploc bags. Cut the corner of the bag and squeeze into containers. Tap on the countertop until the gloss settles. Refrigerate until firm.
