Ever wanted to make your own lipstick? Here is how!
1/4 cup grated beeswax (you could try soy wax for a vegan substitute)
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening1 tablespoon almond oil
3 tablespoons cocoa butter
Mix all of your ingredients together in an ovenproof container and then heat the mixture on high in the microwave for one to two minutes. It should be completely melted. Pour the liquid into a pan or box (about 5-by-3 inches) that you've lined with foil and greased.
When the mixture has cooled, you can cut it into sticks and put those in lipstick tubes (which you can buy from cosmetics suppliers).
