Spoon some petroleum jelly into a bowl. Make sure it's a microwave-safe bowl,
and not a metal one. Use as much petroleum jelly as you want. You can make an
entire container of lip gloss is you want to use the whole jar.
Melt the jelly in the microwave. Place the bowl in the microwave and zap it on
"high" for about 30 seconds. Take it out of the microwave and give it a stir. If the
jelly is still clumpy, microwave it again until it's smooth and runny.
Add some scent or flavor. You can scent or flavor the petroleum jelly by adding a
few drops of your favorite essential oil or extract. Try rose, almond, vanilla,
cinnamon, lavender, or another favorite.
Add a spoonful of honey. This will give the gloss some shine and make it taste
a little sweet on your lips. Since honey has antibacterial and moisturizing
properties, it's also great for conditioning your lips and keeping them from drying out.
If you don't want to use honey, you can skip this step. Your lip gloss will still be
shiny.
If you want to use a different type of sweetener, that's totally fine. Just know
that your gloss might not last as long this way, because sugar, maple syrup,
and other sweeteners go bad after awhile.

Stir it up. Take a spoon and stir the mixture together until the ingredients are
smooth. If you want, add more honey, extract or essential oil to change the way it
smells and tastes.
Pour it into a container. You can use the original petroleum jelly container or
pour it into a cute makeup pot or old lip gloss container.
Let it set. Set it out at room temperature or put it in the refrigerator to let it cool
down. Don't use it until it's no longer runny. This lip gloss will stay a little soft, so
the easiest way to apply it is with your finger or a makeup applicator brush.

Gather your ingredients. This type of gloss requires a little more forethought, but
the results are well worth the extra effort and expense. You'll need the following
natural ingredients to make peppermint lip gloss:
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped beeswax
5 drops peppermint oil
Have your containers ready. This type of lip gloss hardens pretty quickly, so
you'll want to have your containers on hand for when it's ready to be poured. Use
small chapstick pots or tubes, or you can pour the entire mixture into a small mason
jar.
Heat the wax in a double boiler. Beeswax is hard at room temperature, but
when you melt it and mix it with other ingredients it creates the glossy, waxy
texture you want to achieve. Place the chopped beeswax in a double boiler and
simmer it until it's entirely melted.
Mix in the other ingredients. Place the coconut oil and olive oil in the pot with the
beeswax. Use a spoon to stir the ingredients well. Add the peppermint oil and
stir.
For looser, oilier gloss, you can add an extra teaspoon of coconut oil.
For a more subtle mint flavor, use only 2-3 drops of peppermint oil.
Pour the mixture into containers. Carefully pour it into your pots or tubes. You'll want

to rinse the pot right away before the gloss hardens.
Let the lip gloss set. Wait 2 hours or overnight to use the lip gloss. It's ready to
use once it's completely cooled.

Gather your ingredients. This pretty lip gloss requires ingredients you can find at
most health food stores. Gather up the following supplies:
1 tablespoon Shea butter
2 tablespoons sweet almond oil
1 tablespoon chopped beeswax
5 drops vitamin E oil
An old tube of lipstick in the color of your choice
Get your containers ready. Set out your lip gloss pots or tubes to ready them for
pouring.
Melt the beeswax in a double boiler. Place it in the top part of a double boiler
and simmer the wax until it melts entirely. Stir it until it's nice and smooth.
Add the shea butter, almond oil and vitamin E oil. Stir the ingredients with the
wax until your mixture is smooth and glossy.
Use a toothpick to break off a piece of lipstick into the pot. Stirring in a small
chunk of lipstick in any color you like will tint the gloss a lighter version of the
same hue. Stir the lipstick well until it's completely combined with the gloss
ingredients.
For darker lip gloss, add the entire stick of lipstick and stir well.
Add 5 few drops of rose extract or another scent if you'd like.
Pour the lip gloss into containers. Wash the pot right away so it doesn't end up
permanently caked in gloss.
Let the lip gloss set. It's ready to use after 2 hours or overnight, once it has
completely cooled.
