Lip Gloss - Super Glossy
Petroleum jelly(Vaseline)
Honey
Fruit coloring (cherry juice, orange juice, etc...)
Container (old lip gloss container or small jar)
Corn starch
Freezer (optional)
Bowl
Take a spoon full of petroleum jelly and pour it in a bowl.
Than take 1 tea spoon of honey, and mix it in the petroleum jelly.
Sprinkle in some corn starch as your mixing the mixture, (the more corn starch, the thicker the petroleum mixture will be)!
When you have done all that, you can drop in some fruit coloring or any type of fruit juice, it's you choice.
For the container, you can use an old lip gloss container or a jar.
You can put it in the freezer, the lip gloss would get more moisturized.
Insure all containers are sterile by boiling them to prevent contamination of your lip loss.
If you wish to dye this balm you can use a cosmetic coloring available from home made body product supply stores. You can also use a small amount of store bought lipstick to tint the balm.
Alternatively you can also use colored beeswax or candle dye as it is being used in such a small quantity it will not stain or harm your skin.

K! GORGEOUS, :))
OMG it is sooooooooooooooo cool!!!!! :-D
this is awsome we put brown sugar in ours!!!! :0) but still FRUIT-coloring?!
at first the lip gloss smells horrible but im not yet sure of the finished product
made it with my 6 yr old daughter. i suggest the use of plastic bowls and spoons. petroleum jelly is a mess to clean up.
in the words of my daughter, "nummy!"
Cool I can't wait to try!!!!
Do we have to mix water with cornstarch and then pour it in the container?

I LOVED this lipgloss!! And its soooooo easy and inexpensive to make !
well... as expected the juice does NOT mix in.. so we used kool-aid powder instead.. and instead of old lip gloss containers.. which we did't have we used water bottle lids!! :)
This is totally awsome =^.^=
Fruit coloring???
I love this so much. I just don't get the juice thing:>
cool this sounds good but i am only 11. so i have a hard time getting my hands on some vaseline. will a&d ointment work?
wow! it is going to be very hard to ask my mom for Vaseline. There are no more babies in the family.... also because i am 11.
this is great and easy thanx so much this website is perfect for all ages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!love it
OMG! This site has so many great ideas! No other site has cool things for ALL ages.
sounds great but i don't understand the thing with the fruit juices, how will they mix with the vaseline, or will they at all?
this is really nice I've been looking for something like this Thanks a lot :)
Thank you all for your such great comments!! I hope you get a good mark on your project.
I love the lip balm my only problem was the smell it was sort of funky :) I made it for a project in school so wish me luck on my grade if i get a good one it's all because of you !!!
corn flour is a substitute for corn starch.
What can you substatute for cornstarch?
