Ingredients
1 non-toxic crayon
½ teaspoon shea butter
¼ to ½ teaspoon food-grade oil (almond, argan, coconut, jojoba, or olive)
Cosmetic glitter (optional)
1-2 drops of essential oil or extract (optional
Containers you can put you lipstick in
Contact lens case
Empty lipstick or chap stick tubes
Empty lip balm container
Empty eye shadow or blush containers
Pill boxes
Instructions
- Clean and sterilize your container. If you have not already done so, clean your container well using soap and warm water. Wipe your container down using a cotton ball soaked with rubbing alcohol; use a Q-tip to get into small spaces, such as corners.
- Keep the container open and set it aside. Your lipstick will start to harden quickly and you will need to pour it into its container before it sets. Make sure that your containers are within reach and open, so that they will be ready.
- Remove the paper from the crayons. You can do this by placing the crayon under warm, running water for a few minutes, then peeling the wrapper off. You can also use a craft knife to score a shallow line down the length of the crayon and peel the paper off.
- Break the crayon into four equal parts. Hold the crayon between your fingers and snap it into smaller pieces. If you are having difficulties breaking the crayons, you can cut them using a sharp knife. Breaking the crayon into smaller pieces will not only make it easier to melt, but it will also make it easier to mix colors together.
Making the lipstick
- Assemble a double-boiler. Fill a pot with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) with water. Place a metal or heat-safe glass bowl on top of the pot. The bottom of the bowl should not be touching the surface of the water.
- Turn the stove on and bring the water to a boil. You will be using the hot steam to melt the crayon, butter, and oils
- Once the water in the saucepan is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low.[4] You are working in small amounts, so your ingredients will melt faster. Using a lower temperature will prevent them from melting too fast
- Put the crayon pieces into the bowl and let them begin to melt. You can use all one color, or you can combine different colors to create your own unique shade. Stir the crayon pieces occasionally with a fork or spoon.
- Add the shea butter and food-grade oil into the bowl. You can use any type of food-grade oil, but some oils (such as coconut oil) might give the lipstick a more pleasant taste and smell than others.
For a sheer lipstick, use ½ teaspoon of oil; for a more intense color, use only ¼ teaspoon.
- Continue stirring the ingredients until everything is completely melted. At this point, you can also add in additional ingredients, such as extracts or essences, or even some cosmetic-grade glitter
- Pour the lipstick into the empty container. Use a spoon to help guide it into the container so that the melted wax does not get everywhere
- Allow the lipstick to cool. You can let it cool in the kitchen (or whatever room you were making it in), or you can leave it in the freezer or refrigerator
