Homemade Rosy Gloss

Gather your ingredients. This pretty lip gloss requires ingredients you can find at most health food stores. Gather up the following supplies:
1 tablespoon Shea butter
2 tablespoons sweet almond oil
1 tablespoon chopped beeswax
5 drops vitamin E oil
An old tube of lipstick in the color of your choice
Get your containers ready. Set out your lip gloss pots or tubes to ready them for pouring.
Melt the beeswax in a double boiler. Place it in the top part of a double boiler and simmer the wax until it melts entirely. Stir it until it's nice and smooth.
Add the shea butter, almond oil and vitamin E oil. Stir the ingredients with the wax until your mixture is smooth and glossy.
Use a toothpick to break off a piece of lipstick into the pot. Stirring in a small chunk of lipstick in any color you like will tint the gloss a lighter version of the same hue. Stir the lipstick well until it's completely combined with the gloss ingredients.
For darker lip gloss, add the entire stick of lipstick and stir well.
Add 5 few drops of rose extract or another scent if you'd like.
Pour the lip gloss into containers. Wash the pot right away so it doesn't end up permanently caked in gloss.
Let the lip gloss set. It's ready to use after 2 hours or overnight, once it has completely cooled.
Make sure you put your lip balm/gloss in a clean container.
Containers: You can usually find some nice tins or pots at the dollar store. At craft stores, you can sometimes find twist-up 'lipstick-like' containers.
Flavorings: You can purchase flavoring and scents for lip gloss from any good craft store; beeswax can also be purchased at the craft store or a health food store. At the grocery store you can pick up the sunflower oil and flavorings such as mint extract.

Homemade Peppermint Gloss

Gather your ingredients. This type of gloss requires a little more forethought, but the results are well worth the extra effort and expense. You'll need the following natural ingredients to make peppermint lip gloss:
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped beeswax
5 drops peppermint oil
Have your containers ready. This type of lip gloss hardens pretty quickly, so you'll want to have your containers on hand for when it's ready to be poured. Use small chapstick pots or tubes, or you can pour the entire mixture into a small mason jar.
Heat the wax in a double boiler. Beeswax is hard at room temperature, but when you melt it and mix it with other ingredients it creates the glossy, waxy texture you want to achieve. Place the chopped beeswax in a double boiler and simmer it until it's entirely melted.
Mix in the other ingredients. Place the coconut oil and olive oil in the pot with the beeswax. Use a spoon to stir the ingredients well. Add the peppermint oil and stir.
For looser, oilier gloss, you can add an extra teaspoon of coconut oil.
For a more subtle mint flavor, use only 2-3 drops of peppermint oil.
Pour the mixture into containers. Carefully pour it into your pots or tubes. You'll want to rinse the pot right away before the gloss hardens.
Let the lip gloss set. Wait 2 hours or overnight to use the lip gloss. It's ready to use once it's completely cooled.
