How to Make Vanilla Lip Gloss

Customize your own lip gloss.

Lip gloss is a necessity for most women. Whether it be tinted or clear, scented or flavored, girls and ladies alike have at least one lip treatment they love. The best part about making your own lip gloss, however, is knowing exactly what is in it (in case you are allergic to anything) and getting to customize everything about it. Add a tint or vitamin treatment; the options are endless and completely up to you.

Things You'll Need

• 1 tbsp. beeswax
• Glass jar or measuring cup
• Pot of water
• 3 to 5 drops vanilla essential oil
• Vitamin E capsule
• Old lipstick (if color is desired)
• Small container
• Toothpick

Instructions

1. Place the beeswax in a glass jar or measuring cup. Rest the cup in a pot of hot water. Slowly stir until the beeswax is completely melted.

2. Add a vitamin E capsule and stir. The vitamin E will help preserve your gloss and adds essential nutrients for healthy skin.

3. Add three to five drops of vanilla oil until you have reached your desired potency. Continue mixing.

4. If you would like to add some color, shave off a bit of lipstick and mix into the beeswax mixture.

5. Carefully pour the mixture into a small container and let cool.
