DO IT YOURSELF- TINTED LIP BALM

HI LADIES

       September is almost coming to an end and we are fast approaching the dry/harmathan season.Some of  us have very dry and chapped lips *ME*  and it gets worse during this season, most times our lips even crack and bleed.

       A lip balm is always very handy,it moisturises the lips and protects it from external exposure. It is a must have for every lady. The common lip balms we know don't have colours they are just plain on the lips , there are lip balms that give a hint of color on the lips,they are called Tinted Lip balms. These are difficult to find but you can make it yourself.
        
     Yesterday i was less busy so i decided make some tinted lip balms. I figured out two ways to make it

                     What you need
  • Vaseline or clear lip balm
  • Lipstain/paint or lipstick
  • Spatula
  • Empty can with lid
  •  Bowl  
  1. Add a portion of vaseline /lip balm and lipstain/paint into an empty can
  2. Mix properly with a spatula,add more lipstain to make the colour intense
  3. Mix-mix mix mix mix
  4. Youur tinted lip balm is ready
         

Good Old Vaseline

Lipstain/paint
                  
Empty Can

Vaseline in the can

       
Tinted lip balm -Purple

Tinted lip balm -Orange
                     
                                  OR
  1. Put a portion of vaseline/lip balm into a bowl
  2. Cut out a portion of lipstick and add it to the vaseline/lip balm
  3. Heat it in the microwave, please dont heat too much
  4. Bring it out and mix-mix-mix-mix
  5. Heat it again
  6. Pour it into an empty can
  7. Let it harden for 20 minutes or put it in the fridge 
 VOILA!!!!!!   That's all

 I made two tinted lip balms with the first step[its easier]  I use my tinted lip balm whenever i dont have any serious outing and want colour on my lips but you always have to reapply. I also use it as a base for my matte lipsticks.

THANKS FOR CHECKING DARLINGS,
