Introduction: Easy Lip Gloss - With Only Two Ingredients!
Lip gloss is great, it makes your lips moisturised, shiny and pleasantly smelly!
When you run out, your not always 5 mins walk from the supermarket.
So you make your own...
With only two ingredients (well, and two optional ones)
Sorry about the small pictures...
Step 1: Supplies
- Glacé cherries - nice colour, nice taste
-Vaseline- or any other brand petroleum jelly.
- Vanilla Essence- Optional, but great.
-Glitter- Again, optional, butnotgreat
Step 2: Let's Get Mushy...
Start with some glacé cherries for colour.
Pour some into a bowl and mash them into a paste using a fork.
Step 3: Add the Base...
Next, add in a dollop of petroleum jelly (as your base ingredient), and get mixing!
There isn't really any measurements...
Step 4: Flavouring...
For flavouring, a couple of drops of vanilla essence are just the job. Mix again! |
Step 5: Glitter It Up...
And for a finishing touch, add in some very fine glitter.
And then – you guessed it – mix away! It’s important you mix until it’s all very smooth – you don’t want lumpy lip gloss!
Step 6: Make It Look All Professional...
Fill a lip gloss container with your mixture and put it in the fridge for three to four hours. |
Step 7: Finally...
When it comes out of the fridge, it’s ready for you to test!
Fab!
Step 8: Don't Be Scared Now...
You can experiment with other ideas – apricots will give you an orange colour, and peppermint essence will give a lovely minty taste.
