DIY Project - Lipstick & Lipbalm

Hello people

i would love to welcome everyone to my VERY first DIY project...

let me get this straight... i am not a fan of makeup so i dont have much makeup... so whenever i need to wear one, i need to steal (please read borrow hehehe) my Along's makeup since she have lots of makeup and Angah dont live with my family...

Along actually have very stricking (read attention grabber) lipstick colors which scare me... let just say, not suitable for classes or going out (i wonder how she always can wear that with confident?) and okay... let just cut to the chase... i pissed her off when accidently lost one of her favourite (tho she dont use it much) lipstick... she told me to get my own lipstick but since i dont feel like spending my money on things i dont like (and just need occasionaly), she taught me how to make my own lipstick..

so lets begin!!!

 le ingredients:

♡ petroleum jelly or vaseline or coconut oil
♡ crayon of any color of your choice (yes you read this right)
♡ essence vanilla flavour (or any flavour you like - strawberry, banana the choice are endless)
♡ container to put your final product
♡ a pot to boil water
♡ another container that you dont mind throwing away later
♡ stirrer (i use popsicle stick and toothpick)

optional:
♡ bee's wax/ soy wax (hardening/moisturizing agent)
♡ honey / olive oil / vitamin E oil (work as moisturizer)
♡ peppermint oil / cinnamon powder/ chilli powder (usually if you want temporary pouty effect)

instruction:

use a double boiler (put a container over a boiling water) to melt i table spoon of vaseline, few drop of vanilla essense and half crayon ~~~ you can always adjust the ratio of crayon and vaseline (more sheer lipbalm like - less crayon more vaseline, more opaque vibrant color-less vaseline more crayon) and of course you can mix the color too if you want

stir using the stirrer until all the ingredient completely melt and well mixed (in the middle of the process you can add honey/cinnamon powder - add little by little and test them on the back of your hand for the desirable result)

carefully pour the melted ingredients into  the container (while it still hot)

refrigerated for 10-20 minutes to harden the product

the final product:
lipstick (purple) and lipbalm
carefully(pink)

get ready to look pretty ^^~


as for you asking me is it save to use crayon, actually crayons mostly made of wax and color (find the non toxic one) so it is save (just dont eat it)
however, stop using it if you get discomfort using the product

another option:
use your old lipstick that you thought too vibrant for your choice but you still like the color to replace
the crayon

you can also turn them into some cream blush that according to Along, works better and long-lasting than ordinary powdered blusher.. according to her, it look more natural but pick the normal color lah... hehehe

okay that's that for the first EVER DIY
i will asked Along for her new trick and post it later
love ya smooches!! ^^~
