Homemade Lipstick

Lipstick is one thing that I love to wear all the time. This homemade lipstick gives you a very light coloring. It is also very hydrating for your lips. I chose to go with pink since it is what I normally wear, but if you wanted something darker you could add cinnamon or cocoa powder to get a dark shade. You can also add some Vitamin E oil to make it even more hydrating for your lips.I found a very easy way to fill the empty tubes. I cut an empty egg carton in half and turned it upside down. I cut small holes in the bottom of the carton and stuck the tubes inside. This held them upright and made them way easier to fill. I did have a little trouble with them overflowing but it came off the tube easily with a warm damp washcloth.
