Homemade Lip Gloss


Homemade Lip Gloss
This homemade lip gloss is my favorite recipe because it uses inexpensive "ingredients" that are easy to find. Each little batch turns out a slightly sweet, candy-flavored lip gloss that feels splendid on the lips!
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon paraffin wax

4 teaspoons coconut oil

4 teaspoons petroleum jelly

4 white or pink candy melts

1/2 teaspoon oil-based candy flavoring

Directions:  Grate the wax into a Ziploc freezer bag. Add the coconut oil, petroleum jelly, candy melts and the flavoring. Place the bag in a bowl of very hot water and allow the ingredients to melt together. Massage the bag a bit to mix the ingredients together. Snip a corner from the bag and squeeze the ingredients into small containers (we used sterilized bead holders purchased from Hobby Lobby). Pop your lip gloss containers into the fridge to cool completely. Enjoy!
