Making your own lip gloss is a great way to save money and a thrifty way to use up any leftover lipstick, broken lipstick or lipstick in colors you don't like!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Lip Stick
  • Vaseline
  • Small Container
  1. Step 1

    Buy a few small containers in the cosemetic section of any store. Scrape out any leftover lipstick stuck inside the applicator. You can use a toothpick to get every last bit of lipstick out. Mix the lipstick with a bit of vaseline in the small container and apply with your finger. You just made your very own lip gloss!

  2. Step 2

    If you have leftover lipstick in colors you don't like you can try mixing two or three colors together to make a new color. Then just mix with vaseline like in step one and you have created your own custom shade of lip gloss!

  3. Step 3

    If your lipstick breaks off when you try to apply it don't throw that chunk away! Save it to make your own lip gloss. You could also buy a white lipstick and add a bit to your gloss to make the color lighter and brighter. Have fun!

on 6/20/2009 Great tip for using leftover lipstick! I'll add that for those people who don't like using vaseline, lanolin could be used as an alternative.
