Make your own groovy Chocolate Lip Gloss!
What you?ll need:
-Vaseline
-Powdered cocoa mix
-Small pot to put it in!
Procedure:
You might need Mum's help with this one, as you'll need to use the microwave, and the Vaseline will get hot.
Place the desired amount of Vaseline in a glass bowl in the microwave, and heat for 30 seconds. Take it out and give it a stir. Continue to do this until the Vaseline is fully melted.
Next, add the cocoa powder (experiment with how 'chocolatey' you want your gloss!) to the Vaseline, and stir well. Put the mixture back into the microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir again. Set aside to cool.
Once your mixture is cool enough to handle, spoon it into your 'lip gloss pot' and pop it into the fridge for a short while to set. You can use all sorts of things for a 'lip gloss pot' - your Mum might have an old eyeshadow pot that's empty. Or your Dad might have a small plastic pot for fishing tackle! You can also buy small plastic make-up pots at your local chemist. Use your imagination!
It's now ready to use!
You can play around with this - here are some fun ideas!
- Use powdered fruit juice like Tang to make yummy fruity lip gloss!
