Coffee & Cream Lip Gloss

This lip gloss is easy to make. It does not tint or color the lips because of the small amount of color used. That being said, this lip gloss will give shimmer and shine to the lips since we are using Castor Oil and Silver Mica. Let’s go have some fun!

Collect needed items:

Recipe: (Makes 1 ounce or 28 grams. Fills approximately 14 lip brush pens.)

Note: Q.S. means quantity sufficient. You do not need much Silver Mica or Oil Soluble Lip Balm Colors. This recipe needs so little that we can’t measure it! So we use Q.S. to say use as much as you need to achieve the right color, flavor, etc.

Begin by weighing the Carnauba Wax, Castor Oil, and Coffee Butter. After measuring the ingredients, microwave using short time bursts until the wax is melted. Add flavors. Now the color and mica can be added. I used the tip of a clean pipette and pulled it across the top of the color and then used that pipette to stir the mixture until the color was completely mixed in. I then used a new pipette and put the tip into the mica to scoop a small amount into the lip gloss. Using the pipette I used for the color, I stirred the mixture to decide if it needed more mica or not. Once you are satisfied with the color, fill the brushes while the mixture is still warm. Leave them standing upright until they have cooled. After the mixture has cooled, then you can put the tips and caps on. If the mixture gets into the small metal tube before it is cooled, the metal can cause the mixture to solidify over the opening and material will be difficult to advance into the brush.

Color Note: While the Coffee Butter contributes minimal color, I wanted a little more of a “coffee” color. To achieve that I used approximately 3 parts Yellow, 2 parts Coral and 2 parts Black.

I hope you enjoy making this delicious lip gloss!
