COCOA MINT LIP BALM

1.5 oz. cocoa butter (non-deodorize)
1 oz. beeswax
1.5 oz. shea butter
.01 oz. pure Vitamin E
20 drops peppermint essential oil (optional)

You may wish to less or no peppermint if you don't like the "tingle" that peppermint leaves behind on your lips; the sensation disappears within a few minutes of application) In a heat proof measuring cup with a lip for pouring, melt together the cocoa butter, shea butter and beeswax over a double boiler. Once the butters and wax have completely liquefied, remove from heat. Stir with
a pop sickle stick to ensure the mix. Add Vitamin E and stir to incorporate. Add the essential oil and stir to combine. While mixture remains hot, pour into lip balm containers. You may spill a bit outside the containers as you get used to steadying your hand to pour. If this happens, wait for the mixture to harden and wipe the containers with a clean cloth. Seal, label and enjoy!!

Basic Lip Gloss

Ingredients:

6 Tablespoons Glycerin
50 Drops Lip Balm Flavoring
10 Drops Liquid Food Coloring

Mix together glycerin, flavoring (I use green apple) and ordinary food coloring (I used red) in a small cup with a pour spout. Fill a roll-on lip gloss bottle about 1/4 with this mixture. Fill remaining space in bottle with light oil such as sweet almond oil. Be sure to leave a little room at the top to insert the roller ball assembly. I've heard that you can add a little mica or glitter, but I've also heard that it may clog the roller.

Lip Balm

Ingredients:       1/2 ounce beeswax beads
                        4 ounces sweet almond oil
                        1 teaspoon colored jojoba beads
                        2 teaspoons essential oil or food flavoring oil
                        We carry Cherry & Banana flavoring oils.

Some good essential oil choices that are nice are Tangerine, Lemon, Sweet Orange or Lime. The citrus oils seem to be popular for this application.

Utensils needed:  8 ounce glass measuring cup, teaspoon measuring spoon, stainless spoon for stirring and 1/4 ounce lip balm jars.
Put the 4 ounces of sweet almond oil in measuring cup, add beeswax beads and jojoba beads and melt in microwave. Stir with spoon, and when cooled a bit, add essential or flavoring oil.  Pour into lip balm jars, and when cool, label.

Also, if you want to keep your lips the centre of facial attraction, apply lipstick with due attention. More details about it have been given in the 'makeup section' of this site where it is explained in details as to how you should apply lipstick.
