DIY: Crayon Lip

(Photo taken from Goggle Images)

There has been many lip palette that have come out over the summer. I have wanted to buy some here and there but everytime I come around its either sold out  or limited edition which sucks. Since I have had no luck with it I figured I try and make my sister one for her birthday since I wanted to get her one. The trend lately has been crayon lipstick so I figured I will try it myself so if you want to see how to make a lipstick palette out of crayons keep on reading.

Things you will need:
1. small containers or a weekly pill container (which are very inexpensive since they can be purchased in your local $0.99 cent store or your local Dollar Tree)

2. Vaseline (I used one from my local $0.99 cent store and it had coco butter infused in it which is great since this will be without coconut since the birthday girl is allergic. Please keep that in mind when you are gifting this to someone they may or may not be allergic to certain things.)

3. Crayons (Crayola seem to be the most preferred because they are the safe. Crayola does state on their website that the crayons have not been tested for this use and generally any crayon company will say the same thing so you are using this product at your know risk so please do not disgust any of it.

4. The option of how you would like to melt the crayons. I used a stove so I needed a pan with water and not to deal with a mess I used an aluminum  cupcake pan and cut each one so that I would have one cut to put in the pan at a time.

5. A mini Spatula (if you don't have one don't worry you can also use a spoon)

Steps:
1. Pick the color or colors you want to use to create your lip balm tinted, lip stick, and/or lip gloss.

2. Put some water in the pan and leave it to boil.

3. Put the aluminum pan in the water

4. Peel the paper off you crayons and spat them in half. I have found that it works easier when the crayon is in pieces. (Melts faster)

5. Once the crayon is almost fully melted add your Vaseline. This step all depends on the type of lip your going for (lipstick, lip balm tinted and/or lip gloss). I'm looking for a tinted lip balm so with the mini spatula I put 2 scoops and mixed that with a spoon.  

6. Put the mixture in your container and let it chill until it becomes a solid once again (This step is up to you since everyone has there own way to let the liquid set once again.

7. Swatch and enjoy.

Hope this easy DIY lip balm, lipstick or lip gloss depending on what you want to make is enjoyable. There is no reason to go spend money that you may not have on a lip palette when you can make your own.  Leave a comment down below on how making your own palette worked out I would love to hear about them. Thanks for reading.
