It's not being a freak for wanting to make your own! lol The ingredients that are in the commercial products are most of the time, no good anyway.

You are not sious here is my answer .





Materials Needed:








鈥araffin wax


鈥oconut oil


鈥etroleum jelly


鈥andy melts (to color the gloss and make it taste sweet)


鈥il-based candy flavoring (if you want a special flavor)


鈥rater


鈥ax paper


鈥iploc bag


鈥mall container (recycle old makeup containers or 35mm film containers, or look in stores that carry beads, crafts, or fishing tackle)


Instructions:


Grate some paraffin wax onto wax paper. Measure 1/4 teaspoon grated wax into the plastic bag. Add 1 teaspoon coconut oil, 1 teaspoon petroleum jelly, and 1 candy melt. Add 1/8 teaspoon oil-based candy flavoring if you like.





Seal the bag and carefully put it in a bowl of hot tap water to melt ingredients, about 3-5 minutes. (Use tap water! Never use a microwave or stove to heat the water).





Once all the ingredients are melted, remove the bag from the water. Squish ingredients around in bag to mix; work quickly! Clip off a tiny corner of the bag and squeeze gloss into the clean container. Let it set for an hour, or put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.





There you go! Use a cotton swab instead of your finger to apply gloss. Your lip-gloss should last a long time. If it changes color, odor, or texture, though, throw it away.
I love making Lip-Gloss =) These are my favourites....

Good Luck =)
You can try using vaseline, but the problem is that it won't stick to your lips, it melts then runs into the corners of your mouth (cus petroleum isn't polar.) But if vaseline is all you have, I like mixing it with a bit of olive oil (jojoba oil would be good too) to make it a bit thinner. Mix a bit of loose or pressed eyeshadow or blush. It seems that pressed powders can change colors once they are mixed with something (maybe its the preservatives or maybe the pressing medium that changes the color). so you just have to experiment.





Other ingredients you can use are jojoba gel (aromaleigh.com), cocoa butter, shea butter, chapstick in a tube (just be sure to mix oil with it to thin it out!), aquaphor, and my personal favorite ingredient, VITAMIN E OIL!!!! You can flavor it too if you want. I only tend to put a drop of peppermint oil in mine. Other flavors just don't seem to be as appealing.





Happy gloss making!
i love making my own lip gloss, especially chocolate flavored ones, you add some cocoa powder or hot chocolate powder, to petroleum jelly and you mix, mix, mix and put it in the fridge to set! you can make all sorts of flavors, banana, candy, just out the flavorings in some Vaseline, you can Google the flavor you want for some instructions
