Lip Balm!

I love lip balm and I am always on the look out for this stuff.  I find that I am quite particular, I don't like it too firm, too soft or too much scent.  I love citrus, I like peppermint sometimes and of course I love to find new flavors.


I decided the other day when I saw a lip making kit for $30 at Michaels (only makes 5 small pots of lip balm - so really expensive) to try making it myself.  I did some research and found this great post!! http://www.notmartha.org/tomake/lipbalm/


This one pretty much did it for me, so I went to Mountain Sage and bought some of their Lip solutions, some of the containers and started to make the lip balm!  I had read that it was pretty easy and guess what? It is!  I have found a new hobby, not quite an addiction yet, I only have 3 flavors now...with 5 on their way..ok I am getting a bit addicted to this.

Did I mention that my dds love to make it with me and we did up some fun labels and these pics are the results!!

So if you love to make things, I would definitely suggest you give lip balm making a try. The Lip solutions are great to use, no fussy measuring, just melt some, add some flavour, coloring and pour.

Great to give as gifts too and if you need a card when giving this, you know where to find me :)
