it seems, with so many tasty ingredients going into the lip gloss, this will be one cosmetic…that will be eaten up in no time!
I never even knew that you could make your own lip gloss. I don’t wear lip gloss that much but my niece would love this recipe.
Oooo, I love recipes like this. I was wondering where I could find cocoa butter, though? I always see it in lotions, but not by itself.
I love these recipes. Thank you for sharing. I am going to try making a few of them. They would make nice additions to gift bags.
