D.I.Y. Lip Conditioner

So, I've always loved making things, and beauty products are no exception.
In this entry I will show you how to make a lip conditioner in under five minutes!! ( preparation )

Ingredients:

  • Container ( I used an Easter Egg for some fun packaging...I don't know about you but sometimes I buy things for the packaging )
  • Coconut Oil ( in case you are unaware, it is semi solid )
  • Glass Cup/ Any Container that is Microwave Safe
  • Microwave
  • Fridge/ Freezer
  • Spoon
Optional Ingredients:
  • POWDERED food coloring ( Coconut oil is an OIL so liquid food coloring will not mix very well )
  • Edible Scent/ Flavor ( you can add scent or flavor or both to your lip conditioner )

Instructions:

This is a very simple recipe.
  1. Scoop the Coconut Oil out of its container and place it in your glass/ microwavable container ( How much you use depends on how big your container is and how much you want )
  2. Melt it in the microwave in 10-15 second bursts ( should take 3-4 bursts ) 
  3. *optional step* If you are adding color or scent/flavor now is the time.
  4. Once it is melted, let it cool for a few seconds then carefully pour it into its final container, carefully because its still going to be pretty hot.
  5. Let it cool in a Fridge or for a good 15-30min. depending on the one you put it in.
Enjoy!!!
