Yummy Lip Gloss Recipes

For this gift, featured on Familycrafts.about.com,you will melt a bunch of ingredients together with some flavoring, let it cool, and create flavored lip gloss. There are 3 different recipes, each using different base ingredients that give the item it's consistency. You may need to experiment to see which you like best. Reuse old make-up containers, pretty little jars, or old 35mm film cases in which to place the gloss.

Cocoa Lip Gloss :

This recipe is the most simple. If you don't like cocoa, you can substitute powdered juice mix. Petroleum jelly gives me the creeps but it may work for you.

Vanilla Lip Gloss :

This recipe utilizes some more sophisticated items as the base such as aloe vera gel and coconut oil in addition to petroleum jelly. It may have a thinner consistency.

Yet Another Lip Gloss Recipe:

This recipe also uses the items in the previous recipe, but also includes parrafin wax and candy melts to give it a candy flavor.

Please exercise caution and common sense and do not burn yourself!!!
