Flavored Lip Gloss Tutorial

Confession: I have very dry skin and lips. In the winter they get really bad… so bad they sometimes bleed. OUCH! I was thrilled when I discovered this really easy way to make lip-gloss at home.

This lip-gloss will leave your lips shiny and keep the chap away! I found these cute little heart containers at the dollar spot at Target (love Target!). Want to know how to make your own?

Homemade Lip Gloss

What you will need:
3/4 cup crisco or palm oil (palm oil melts at about 90-95 degrees and is non hydrogenated)
2 packages of Kool-aid (any flavor will do- I used cherry and strawberry)
8 small containers with lids (mine were at the dollar spot at Target- wash a clean before using)
stickers or other decorations
microwave safe bowl
spouted bowl or measuring cup for pouring

Wash and dry these thoroughly…

Melt the Crisco- it took about a minute in my microwave.

Mix in the Kool-Aid (some of it will float to the bottom… try not to obsess over it like I did- once poured it will be just fine!)

Pout into the containers (it helps if you use a spouted bowl to pour)

Add stickers…

Wait about 15 minutes and it will be solid.. ready to use. Simple and inexpensive!!! Now try to refrain from eating it… you know you want to! 😛

Happy Creating!!!

It’s that time again for Project Party Weekend. Everyone has just blown me away with all the creative things you have come up with. Thanks again for linking up…I would be honored if you grabbed one of my buttons to display so others can join in the party. Thanks!

That is a great idea and you made it look so easy! I wonder if you could use coconut oil for that. I love lip balm and it would save me a lot of money to make it myself. I could probably even round up some empty containers to recycle 🙂

I love this idea–it seems strange to put Crisco on your lips, though. Does it really work?? I'll have to try this!!

@Tammy- It's really very moisturizing! I have several others that have tried it and they like it too… hope that helps! Let me know what you think!
