DIY Watermelon lipgloss

  • 1 tsp Beeswax (chopped)
  • ¼ cup Vegetable or olive oil
  • Aluminum foil
  • 5 Small tins (Altoid tins work great)
  • Plastic spoon
  • Watermelon extract
The inventory list to start.

You want to start making your own makeup and save big bucks at the store, try this easy recipe for lip gloss. You will first pour your oil and beeswax into a safe microwave cup and microwave it for one minute. Making sure you stir it every 15 to 20 seconds, to make sure it melts completely. Then dip your plastic spoon into your mixture and place it on aluminum foil. You will then place your spoon into the freezer for one minute and remove. If your gloss is to hard you just add more beeswax to your mixture. Not shiny enough for you, add some more oil. Once you get your mixture where you want it, move to this step. Place five drops of watermelon extract into your mixture, this gives your lip gloss flavor and scent. Place your mixture into a empty tin and freeze. When your mixture is completely frozen, you will remove it from the freezer. Use your lip gloss yourself or use for a gift. Homemade gifts are great for friends and family.
