DIY Lipstick

If you are looking to save some money on beauty products, try DIY lipstick.

If you are a lipstick wearer, you already know that when you get to the bottom of the lipstick tube there is still some left that you just can’t get at or use. Well with a few simple tips you can not only save that unused lipstick, but make your own DIY lipstick in the process.

What you need
Several tubes of lipstick that you have finished or do not like.
Small metal lip balm tin that can be purchased online or recycled.

Instructions
Scrape out the lipstick from the bottom or the tube and place in a small microwave safe bowl like a ramekin. (You can mix different tubes to get new colors.)
Microwave the lipstick for 20 seconds at a time until it melts.
Stir with a toothpick and pour into a small lip balm tin.
Place in the freezer to harden and use with your finger or a lipstick brush when ready.

This simple tip will save you tons of money. Three finished tubes of lipstick is about the equivalent of one brand new tube!
