Puddin Pop has recently enjoyed watching some DIY make up videos.
She cam to me with an idea, a couple weeks back, to male Crayon Lipstick. Sounded a little strange to me but, what could it harm?
She said all we needed were crayons and coconut oil.
A week went by before I was somewhere that sold coconut oil, I'm sure other products would work but, she was in charge of this project so, I wanted to make sure every thing was just as she planned.
We took a teaspoon of the oil and 1 unwrapped crayon. We put it in a ceramic cup and put that in some hot water... so as not to burn the wax. It was very quick to melt.
We ended up with 3 shades. I used a little more oil in the blue... to subdue the color. It actually turned out more like a gloss than a lipstick... which I, honestly, prefer.
I think thy turned out well.
Less oil provides a bolder color and "harder" product.
A simple project that was lots of fun. Letting her be in charge... Priceless.
