4. Crayon Lip Gloss

Now, before you start freaking out by the thought of using crayons to make a lip gloss, let me tell you something interesting. Almost all lip glosses and lipsticks available commercially contain paraffin which is the main ingredient in crayons as well and is a non-toxic food grade pigment. So, it’s completely safe to use!!!

Here’s what you need to do-

• Remove the paper covering the crayon and chop it into small pieces. Use any crayon color according to the tint you want to get.

• Now place the crayon along with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil in a small bowl.

• Place this bowl in a saucepan containing water. The water should not enter the bowl.

• Heat the saucepan on medium flame. When the crayon starts melting stir it with the oil.

• Remove the bowl from heat when you get a consistent liquid.

• Now pour it into a jar and freeze for 2 minutes.

• Your lip tint is ready.
