Lip Gloss Recipe #3: Honey Citrus!

Here's the lip gloss you've all been waiting for......
JK! Ok so here is yet another delicious tasting, nourishing lip gloss for you to try out @ home :)

Preparation of lip gloss recipes require the same equipment used for preparation of lip balm recipes : double boiler, saucepan or a microwave safe container. You will also need a small jar or container that you can store it in.

Ingredients:
7-8 tsp. sweet almond oil
2 tsp. beeswax
1 Vitamin E capsule
1 tsp. honey
5 drops citrus flavoring or essential oil (we like lime)
Microwave-safe container with lid
Cosmetic/balm container with lid

Preparation:
Melt the sweet almond oil and beeswax together in the microwave safe container for 1-2 minutes.

Remove the mixture from the microwave, and pierce the vitamin E capsule with a pin or tip fo a knife, and squirt into mixture.

Whisk the contents of the VitE capsure, honey, and flavoring, into the oil mixture, continuing to whisk until set.

Spoon your new lip gloss into a small, balm container with tight lid.

NoteThis lip gloss recipe is pretty much the most perfect recipe I have seen lately. It contains almond oil and Vitamin E. Why is this significant?

Almond oil is an emolient, like glycerin. It locks in the moisture and keeps it there, leaving the lips soft and hydrated.

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps the skin heal and remain healthy. These two are a great combination. Your lips will be protected from free radicals and nourished at the same time.
