6 Easy Steps To Make Your Own Lip Gloss

Lip gloss is a girl’s best friend and so useful to keep in your bag wherever you go.

Whether you’re after shiny lips, tinted lips, or lips that smell incredible, you can easily make your own lip gloss from the comfort of your home.

A go-to homemade lip gloss is this honey shine. It not only shimmers and smells brilliant, but you know it’s good for your lips and has no hidden chemicals!

Here’s how to make your own lip gloss in six simple steps:

1. Take one spoonful of honey and one spoonful of Vaseline and mix them together in a bowl. An alternative to Vaseline is petroleum jelly – either will help provide the moisturising, soft feel of the lip gloss.

2. Melt the mixture in the microwave. Be careful not to overdo it! The best technique is to microwave it for short bursts at a time, perhaps 10 seconds, and mix well in between.

3. In a separate bowl take one spoon of vanilla extract. This is to make your lip gloss smell irresistible! If you’re not a fan of vanilla, another flavouring will work just as well.

4. To your vanilla extract add some strawberry and mango essence. A few drops will be plenty.

5. Combine the bowl of flavouring to the Vaseline and honey mixture and mix them thoroughly so that they blend into one smooth gloss.

6. Once mixed, pour your new lip gloss into a container and keep it in the fridge for at least half an hour before you first use it. Then you can start wearing your new gloss!
