DIY Crayon Lipsticks!!!

I am sooooooo EXCITED about this. I was surfing the web at work today for some cool new DIYS I could do on my day off tomorrow and I came across this. I thought this was so cool I had to share it with you guys!!  It is how to make your own lip crayons!! Love Love  Love especially since I have a new found obsession with lip crayons! Just so you guys know this is not my own DIY I will post link below of the website.

You will need:

• 1 whole crayon or a combo of one or more colors, equal to one crayon. You can do 1/2+1/2, or 1/3 of three different crayons, 1/3+2/3 and so on.
• 1/2 tsp shea butter, available at Whole Foods
• 1/2 tsp any type of oil (olive, almond, jojoba, coconut). We used argan.
• Heat source. We used a candle.
• Large metal ladle
• Small metal spoon
• Container with a lid, such as a small empty lip balm jar, small Altoids tin, empty contact lens case, etc.*
Optional• A few drops of essential oil for scent; we used grapefruit
• Glitter, for sparkle! We used Lit Glitter in Liberace S2 in one of our combos

1: Choose your colors! You can pick one shade you like or mix it up to a desired shade. (For this how-to, we picked Gold + Red Violet and added some Lit Cosmetics Glitter in Liberace S2.)
2: Remove the paper wrapping from the crayons.
3: Put your oil and shea butter, plus a drop or two of essential oil if using, in the ladle first.
4: Add your crayon(s). If using just one single color, break it into pieces so that it melts more easily. If you’re mixing colors, you want roughly one crayon worth total (half + half, 1 /3 + 2 /3 and so on).
5: Hover the ladle over a lit candle (about 3 inches away from the flame) and carefully add in your ingredients.
4: Crayons will begin to melt in about 30 seconds. As it melts, slowly stir until all ingredients using a metal spoon. Make sure all ingredients are mixed together.
5: Remove ladle from heat.
6: If adding glitter, stir it in right after you remove ladle from the heat.

 

7: Using your spoon, pour the mixture into your container. Do this this extremely carefully, as the mixture will be very hot!
8: Let it cool in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
You can control the intensity of the finished product from more sheer to full-coverage. Apply it with your fingers for a tinted lip balm look, or use a brush and layer, layer, layer, for an opaque color.
*You can also do this over a stove top, using a double-boiler, instead of a ladle and candle flame.
**If you prefer yours in stick form, you can also buy any cheap lip balm in a tube. First, empty it. To do that, twist so that the entire stick of balm is dispensed, and pull off the product. Then twist the tube all the way back to the down position. When you get to step 7, use a metal funnel (will be hard to aim without this) and pour your mixture into the tube. Cool in the fridge, and you’re done!
