There are so many lip gloss recipes you can try. A quick search on the internet and you will be bombarded with a ton of lip gloss recipes.

Lip Gloss Recipes: Silky Smooth Lips

Things you will need:

• 1/4 Cup and 2 tablespoons of sweet almond oil.
• A pinch of olive oil
• 4 Tbsp of grated beeswax.
• 1 Tbsp honey.
• 6 Capsules pure vitamin E oil.
• 1/4 Tsp cocoa butter.
• 7 Drops of lavender essential oil.

Instructions: You will heat the cocoa butter, beeswax, honey, olive oil, and almond oil in a pot. Keep the temperature very low. You don’t want them to burn. Once everything is melted,  place all ingredients in a round bowl and mix them all together. Now all you need to do is drop your ingredients into an empty lip gloss container. You can purchase empty lip gloss containers, tubes, and jars from many online stores. There are a few out there like: lipbalmtubes.com. They carry a wide variety of lip balm containers.

Keep in mind: If your lip gloss comes out too soft, re-melt it and add more beeswax which will fix the problem. On the other hand, if your lip gloss came out to hard then you will have to re-melt and add more oil oil.
