For a nice creamy lip gloss, you will need:

2 tablespoons oil (coconut or almond oil is best, which can be purchased at most health food stores)

To make:

1. In a small saucepan over low heat, stir together beeswax and oil until smooth.
2. After removing from hot burner, add in the honey and the vanilla.
3. Allow mixture to cool a bit.
4. Stir in eye shadow and mix well until blended.

*You can put the mixture in the refrigerator, but make sure to keep an eye on it!

To use:

1. Spread a small amount onto your lips.
