Homemade lip gloss

Have any of you made homemade lip gloss before?  I've been wanting to try it.  I compiled a list of links to recipes in case you're interested. 

I had lunch with Stacy and Sarah today. (Darn it, Sarah--I can't find your blog link.  Gimme, please!)  We thought it might be fun to have a 'girl day' where we make glosses and balms.  I can't wait until my studio is done and we'll have a good place to work on these sorts of projects.

There are some interesting recipes on the web using ingredients you probably already have around the house, like---vaseline, crisco, vitamin E oil, Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, and cocoa powder.

The second recipe on this page has a recipe for lip balm made with Crisco and Hershey's chocolate chips....yum!

Here's a great tutorial from Emily M. Meyers.

Here's one on making Kool-Aid gloss from Meet the Dubiens.

Chocolate orange balm recipe from Sugar Bananas.

Recipes here for vanilla, cocoa, and fruit balm.

Gloss made with cocoa powder

This one is a bit more complicated, but still very do-able.

Hi! I don't have your email on my iPad, but I've been thinking about you. One of my fav non-commercial lip glosses is made using lavender. I've posted a couple Hawaii updates on my log. We leave on Saturday. Boo-hoo. However, I do miss Buffy and puttering around my property. I am not yet ready for condo living. 80 temps, though? Yeah, I'm ready for that year round. Hugs to you and doll baby.

This is fantastic! Great project for the girls and I. We use coconut oil. It's like magic!
