DIY Marsala Lip Gloss
This gives your lips a sheer red wine hue, inspired by the Marsala color of the year. Made with jojoba and castor oils, this lip gloss will moisturize and create plenty of shine.
Yield: 6 to 7 pots
Cost: $15
Equipment
- small microwave-safe bowl
- Lip gloss pots or clean empty jars
Materials
- 3 tablespoons castor oil
- 1 tablespoon jojoba oil
- 1.25 teaspoons Cera Bellina wax
- 2.5 teaspoons Merlot Sparkle mica
- 3 mL flavoring oil (Optional - I like the honey flavor)
Instructions
- Combine castor and jojoba oils and Cera Bellina wax in a small microwave-safe container. Heat for 15 seconds and stir. Keep heating in short bursts until the wax is melted.
- Add honey flavor oil (if using) and stir.
- Add the Merlot Sparkle mica and stir until thoroughly mixed in.
- Pour the lip gloss mixture into the lip gloss pots.
- Allow to fully cool and then place the caps on.
Notes
Lip gloss should keep unrefrigerated for up to 3–4 months. Feel free to scale the recipe down to fill fewer containers.
