D.I.Y LIP BALM / GLOSS

D.I.Y LIP BALM/GLOSS

Hey guys, welcome to part II of last week’s post, if you don’t know what it was, please check it out here: D.I.Y LIPSTICK. After doing the lipstick tutorial, I realized it wouldn’t be fair to assume that everyone loves lipstick. Some girls prefer lip gloss or lip balm, so I decided to do a lip gloss tutorial this week, I hope you enjoy it. When I did the “D.I.Y Lipstick” Within hours my blog got over 500 views, it was an amazing feeling and ever since that post, I have been getting not less than 150 views per day breaking my own record. I used to get about 60-200 maximum, not I am between 150 annd 220 maximum. I am very grateful for the love, I love what I do, I love that you guys love what I do and I wish I could just hug every single one of you. Sometimes I wish my days were shorter so I can get to Friday already and work on some new tutorial and sometimes I wish my days were longer so that Friday won’t come because I don’t know what craft to work on next. But whenever that happens, the views, likes, shares and comments lets me know what you like for me to post. So please, keep liking, keep sharing, and keep commenting to motivate me to push harder.

WHAT YOU NEED:

- Vaseline

- A bowl (Not plastic)

- Lipstick

- Something to stir

- Lip gloss/ Lip balm container

If you can recall last week we had to scoop out remaining lipstick from lipstick containers to be able to fill it in with our homemade lipstick and I asked you guys not to throw it away. So that it where the lipstick is from, and Vaseline I got at tuskys for 70ksh. The lip balm container you can get for about 50ksh or you can use old lipbalm container, that is exactly what I did, because I did not like the lip balm flavor. Now I am going to replace it with a flavor I like.

STEP 1:

Melt the Vaseline in the bowl with medium heat and please control the heat, because we don’t want the Vaseline to boil.

STEP 2:

Now put in your lipstick, put a small chunk only and wait for it to melt and blend with the Vaseline.

STEP 3:

Pour the mixture in a container and let cool. Easy, fast and inexpensive, you can do it at home and save a lot of money on buying lipgloss or lip balm.

I recommend this method because if you did not know this, there is a substance in lip gloss and lip balms that are made to dry your lips, crack your lips (in some) so you keep using and buying. That is called business. The substances are known as; menthol, phenol and camphor.
