Fw: 26 LIP GLOSS/BALM RECIPES

[Guest guest]

Here are some lip gloss recipes that were in my file. I have purchased the

majority of my B & B recipes off E-Bay. Some of you might want to do a search to

see what you find. They are really cheap -- I've even given $2-3.00 for 500

recipes!!1

Lip balm/gloss is easy to make.

The basic formula is:

1/4 cup vegetable or nut oil

1/4 ounce beeswax

1 teaspoon honey or glycerine (humectants)

1/2 to 1 teaspoon natural flavoring oil aka Essential Oil.

Heat the oil and beeswax in a double boiler (or microvave) until the beeswax is

melted.

Remove from heat and whip with an electric beater until creamy.

Add the honey or glycerine and approx 5 drops flavoring oil; whip some more. Add

more flavoring if desired.

Store in small glass jars, small tupperware bowls, decorative tins or film

containers.

Try different oils on your lips to choose the best one for your skin and taste

preference.

If the Balm is too hard (waxy), add more oil to your mixture.

If it is too soft, add more wax.

You can add a few drops of beet juice for a beautiful & natural red color.

But instead of going to that trouble, you can just shave off a little of your

lip stick

for that beautiful (not natural) color. Don't use food coloring, it may contain

alcohol base

Never use extracts found in cooking sections of the grocery stores as they

contain alcohol.

Use safe essential oils. The good part about them is they have thousands of

great flavors.

Comfrey, Rosemary, Tea Tree or Camphor Oils are excellent for healing effects.

How do you know if it's time to throw away your gloss? If it changes color,

odor, or texture, though, throw it away.
