Advice
- Add oils, vitamin E, or shea butter. If your skin is sensitive make sure the ingredients are gentle.
- For a particular taste you can use aromas with extracts (vanilla, orange, etc.)
- To cool down the lip gloss quickly put it in the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then remove it and let it rest for another 3 minutes at room temperature.
- Use lip gloss when your lips are dry and chapped or before going out.
- Make lots of glosses and give them to your friends. Use different colors and aromas.
- After pouring the gloss into the container, quickly dust some glitter on the surface before it solidifies. This way you will have a gloss with glitter!
- Don't choose extravagant colors like blue, green, silver, dark purple, gold, etc. Instead, choose colors that suit your lips, such as light or dark pink, red, light purple or orange.
- Mix sugar and olive oil, massage it on your lips and then rinse everything off. Finally apply the lip balm.
- Decorate the container with stickers. Hearts, flowers, lips, lipsticks and stars are perfect symbols for a gloss.
Warnings
- Be very careful with the hair straightener, it can get very hot. Also, you may get an electric shock when you put your spoon under it, so be extra careful.
- Follow all the steps faithfully and make sure the gloss has cooled before using it, otherwise it may still be too runny and too hot.
- If you don't want to risk germs, wash your hands before applying the gloss with your fingers. Alternatively, use a lip brush.
