Homemade Lip Balm


2 TBSP grated beeswax
2 TBSP coconut oil
2 tsp. sweet almond oil
chunk of red lipstick
1/2 tsp. of shimmery eye shadow powder
10 drops of essentail oil (I used peppermint but you can use any kind)

Melt all but essentail oil in a doubleboiler until completely melted and there are no more beewax flakes.
Do not boil or overheat. Stir with a throw away tool like a bamboo skewer.
Remove from heat and add essential oil. Using a syringe or medicne dropper fill your lip balm containers.
Let it sit at room temperature or in the fridge until hardened or opaque.
