DIY Crayon Lipstick

DIY Crayon Lipstick

"Crayon lipsticks?! Seriously?!"

Yes, I'm serious. Do you want to spend dollars on a new lipstick? No? Have crayons that you don't want to use anymore and want to throw them away? Hold up! Recycle it by making your own simple DIY lipstick. It requires 2-3 ingredients depending on what you like. Be it matte or glossy. 

Crayon lipsticks are safer compared to other lipsticks that are sold in stores which contains chemical in it. Crayons are 100% non toxic so you don't have to worry about any unwanted stuffs on your lips. Crayon lipsticks are much more long lasting and feathery-free compared to normal lipsticks. What's best about crayon lipsticks? You get to choose the shade you want by mixing the colours to get your desired colour! You'll have fun trying out new colours and mixing odd colours together to form a new shade!

As you can see, Two of the crayons are absolutely naked. The shorter one is orange and the other is reddish orange. I've been dying to get an orange lipstick so I made one and here it is.

It's an orange with a touch of red lipstick. I'm in love with the colour. I can't wait for the next colour I'm gonna do. Probably a berry shade. Okay enough of the talking. 

Here's the things you need:

1. A pan filled with water
2. 1/2-1 teaspoon of Olive Oil* (This is to add shine to your crayon lipstick. The more you add, the more glossy your lipstick is.)
3. A jar
4. 1 teaspoon of Vaseline/Shea Butter/Organic Coconut Oil (To add moisture in your lipstick and prevents your lip from chapping)
5. A stirring stick
6. Crayons
7. Container
8. Lip brush
9. Stove
10. Refrigerator
11. Gloves

Steps:

1. Remove the paper from the crayon.
2. Turn the stove to high heat.
3. Fill the pan with water to about 3/4 of height.
4. Place it on the stove and wait for the water to boil so that you can proceed to the next step.
5. Turn the heat down to low or low-medium after the water has boiled.
6. Place the jar on the the pan. (This acts as a double boiler)
7. Add crayon into the jar and wait for it to melt.
8. Stir continuously.
9. Then, add about a teaspoon of Vaseline and Olive oil* into the jar and stir. (the more you add your Vaseline, the more easier for you to apply your lipstick)
10. Stir until all ingredients have melted.
11. Turn off the heat.
12. Pour the lipstick mixture into the container.
13. Place it in the fridge for 3-5 hours for the lipstick mixture to solidify.

WALA! YOUR LIPSTICK IS DONE! It's easy, trust me. Have fun mixing the colours around! Post your lip colours online with the hashtag #delilahdiy! See you on the next post.
