DIY Crayon Lipstick!!!
I saw this article somewhere online and I immediately clicked on it! I am just finding out about this in 2014. I don't know if this is a new trend or if I have just been living under a rock but it is amazing and so simple! It has to be or I probably wouldn't be blogging on it lol. Anyway I clicked and it led me to this YouTube video of this girl pretty much making her own lipsticks in the kitchen and I was amazed!
So pretty much you get a pot and boil some coconut oil or whatever oil you like or a similar base/substance that you want to use, cut a piece of crayon and boil it along with the coconut oil and your lipstick is complete! yep. 2 steps! she put it in little nice lip gloss looking containers and made a few different shades of lipstick and she just applied with her finger/lip brush. It seems to go on easily as well. It didn't seem dry or difficult to apply like i kind of assumed it might be. I would personally use a lip brush to more neatly apply it and then lip gloss after to give it a nice shine & done! And don't forget to prep your lips with either a lip balm or chap stick. This makes it much easier to apply anything to your lips, even regular lipstick and it makes a big difference in the finished outcome. Supposedly it's none toxic which kind of makes sense since it is a product for children but I would also do more research if it is a concern or you can just buy your makeup from Whole Foods lol. Who knew you could make lipstick shades with crayons? I just loove DIY things like this. This is something I will definitely give a try!!!
