Ladies: I've got some bad news for you. Many of us spend lots of money on makeup every year. However, money isn't the only thing we're spending on makeup. Makeup production sucks up some of our precious resources on this planet. On top of that, many cosmetics products are filled to the brim with chemicals that you don't recognize. Unfortunately, a lot of those 'chemicals you don't recognize' do some pretty nasty things to the environment.
The answer? Make your own makeup out of natural ingredients if you're so inclined.
Lip gloss, for example, is a relatively simple cosmetics product to make yourself. Not only is it perfectly suited for your own lips, it makes for a wonderful gift as well.
Making your own lip gloss from much more natural ingredients than the ones that are in the store-bought lip gloss is easy! Here's a basic recipe:
¼ cup of beeswax
¼ cup of castor oil
2 tbsp on sesame oil
2 tbsp of beet juice
Melt the beeswax. Remove it from the heat and add the oils. Then add however much beet juice you wish for coloring. Store this in a container in your refrigerator.
This makes a great lip gloss and the best part is...you know exactly what is in it!
