DIY: Homemade Honey Lip Balm 💄💄
posted in Makeup on 7/18/2015
I love Honey Lip Balm and this one is a recreation of Lush’s Honey Trap lip balm. It uses a whole host of moisturizers: shea butter, honey, almond oil and olive oil. And white chocolate! Could it get any yummier? Plus the beeswax will create a layer of protection on your lips to seal in moisture.
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
1 tablespoon shea butter
1 teaspoon each: honey, almond oil and olive oil
1 teaspoon grated beeswax
5 white chocolate chips
3-4 drops vanilla extract
Lip balm container
1 tablespoon shea butter
1 teaspoon each: honey, almond oil and olive oil
1 teaspoon grated beeswax
5 white chocolate chips
3-4 drops vanilla extract
Lip balm container
Note: I also included a pinch of ground oatmeal and dry whole milk hoping for a slightly grainy texture so it would slightly exfoliate with each application. But the affect on the texture was pretty minimal.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Combine the oils in a small bowl and add the extract (or other essential oil of your choice). Melt the beeswax in a microwave safe bowl in short burst until almost melted. Add the chocolate chips and heat again until both are fully melted. Combine the beeswax and chocolate mixture with the oils and stir to combine. Quickly transfer to a clean container and wait for it to solidify (stick it in the freezer to speed this up).
