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.

It doesn’t dry my lips out, remains creamy and feels more like a lip balm, but has the color of lipstick.

If I were you, I’d try it before spending a lot of money on other brands.
