DIY Tinted Lip Balm

I have always bought dozens of lipsticks and lip glosses, like any other gal, despite the fact that only few of the fav shades get used till the end. Then came the vibe for going all organic and the tinted organic lip balms were all over my closet and handbags. They are better for the lips and finish up unlike the big and never ending lipsticks. So what to do with those lipsticks lying around?

You would need only 3 things below -

• Lipstick of the size of your pinky nail, from cuticle to tip of finger
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon grated beeswax  click to buy

1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan on low heat and stir until everything melts. This takes less than 1 min. Do not bring to boil.
2. Put in your favorite container and wait for 1 min to let it set.
3. Put it in fridge for half an hour.
4. Enjoy your own homemade tinted lip balm made in no time.

Beeswax can be either bought online or is also easily available in local craft stores, both as a block or beads.

The lip balm containers are easily available in local craft stores (like Michales in the US)  if you do not have an empty one in home.
