1. Colorful crayon lipstick
Break up some crayons into smaller pieces.
Place small shot glasses into a pan of simmering water and put about 1 teaspoon of coconut oil into each glass.
Let the coconut oil completely melt and then add a piece of crayon to each glass.
Break some cotton swabs in half and use the stick ends of the broken swabs to mix until the crayons are melted.
Pour the colored mixture into small containers. Contact lens cases are perfect for this!
Let the mixture thicken, and guess what? You’ve just made yourself a whole bunch of lipstick!
You can even mix some of your new lipstick colors together in a shallow glass dish to get even more new colors!
2. Kool-Aid lipstick
For this trick, you can actually put away your crayons and break out a packet of Kool-Aid instead! Sprinkle some Kool-Aid powder over about a tablespoon of coconut oil in a small bowl and mix.
Add more Kool-Aid powder until you have your desired shade of lipstick.
Transfer your new lipstick to a small container and apply it to your lips
3. Make a lipstick travel palette
If you want a selection of lipstick while you’re on the go or traveling, here’s a great way to make an easy lipstick palette using a small, sectioned container from your local dollar store.
First, decide which lipsticks you want to include in your palette. Make small labels to put on your container so you remember which is which.
Now cut a small piece of lipstick and hold it in a spoon over a tea-candle until it melts.
Fill your palette with different shades of melted lipstick, close it up and throw it in your cosmetic bag.
4. Make your own lip scrub
Put a fingertip full of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) in the palm of your hand and add about a half-teaspoon of granulated sugar.
Mix it together and apply it to your lips as a lip scrub. Then use your fingertip to rub it in and wipe it off. You’ll love how soft and smooth this makes your lips.
