EATING+LIPSTICK=DIARRHEA

Intriguing title I know, right? This mostly has to do with a tutorial for making lipstick since my cousin found himself in my make-up draw and ate a vast assortment of cosmetics including my baby lips lip-gloss (don’t worry he’s totally fine). Moral of the story don’t let little kids into your room unsupervised also lipstick is not for eating!! J And if it was it would probably taste better than it already does… P.S did you know the word OK looks like a stick person sideways? Now to the tutorial

Materials:

- Crayons (2 or 3 for lip gloss tint and 4 or more for lipstick) 

- Vaseline

- Strawberry/vanilla essence

- Small container/round lip gloss case ( I used a bottle cap)

- Plastic or glass container that can float in water

-Pot with boiled water

-Plastic spoon 

Since my cousin wasn’t satisfied with my baby lips he also ate my other crayon L so I only used one (he’s most likely to diarrhoea for weeks or so)

Procedure

First boil the water in a pot then put the plastic or glass container in the pot. Add the crayons and then wait for them to melt.

Once the crayons have melted add one and a half teaspoons of Vaseline.From there add a teaspoon of olive oil or even coconut oil anything you would use to moisturize your lips. Adding the strawberry or vanilla essence can be tricky it changes the colour of your lip-gloss/lipstick so remember to add very little (you can also skip this step it only makes the lipstick/lip-gloss smell good)

Stir everything together and wait for the ingredients to mix completely. Once you’re finished remove the concoction from the stove. Don’t wait for the mixture to cool down or else it will dry up, immediately put it in your small container (or in my case a bottle cap) and stick it in the fridge

TA-DA!!!

Your done! It’s quite easy mine came out really oily and the colour was faded since I didn’t have many crayons but here’s how it looked:
