Today’s Tip- turn old lipstick into lip gloss
When your favorite lipstick runs out, you can make it last by turning it into lip gloss!
Scrape out the “corners” of the tube with a tooth pick. You need about a ¼ teaspoon or the amount of 3 small chocolate chips. If have more than that it is fine.
You will need :
1 1/2 tsp grated cocoa butter
1/2 tsp coconut oil
1/8 tsp vitamin E oil
1/4 tsp of lipstick
In a microwave heat the cocoa butter, coconut oil, and vitamin E oil in a microwave safe container at 15 second intervals until throuhly melted.
Stir in the color chips and keep stirring until melted and well blended.
Pour into small container and allow cooling before using.
Now you can have your favorite color a little longer. This is especially nice if the color has been discontinued.

I love this tip and I have several nearly empty tubes of discontinued colors I’d love to do something with but where do you get the other ingredients?
Check your local health food or natural produce stores first, but here are a few places off the top of my head:

Plus, you can probably substitute any of the oils for grapeseed and/or virgin olive oil.
Hi Jenn,
I LOVE this tip! I have a few lipsticks that are broken but I love the color. Now I have the perfect way to wear them. Thanks so much for sharing!
