Super Easy & Decadent Creme Brulee Lip Gloss

One of my favorite desserts is Creme Brulee with a fresh strawberry on top. My first introduction to Creme Brulee was as a teenager at nice steakhouse we had gone to for a birthday celebration. I remember learning how to crack the hard caramelized sugar surface and eat the creamy custard with pieces of the sugar. This rare treat brings fun memories to mind and always seems sinfully delicious.

Join me today as I make a scrumptious lip gloss that takes you right to the dessert course. I’ve colored this lip gloss plum to give it a charming tint on the lips. You can color this any color you would like!

Recipe 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 and Castor Oil. 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 completely cooled, the metal can cause the mixture to solidify over the opening and material will be difficult to advance into the brush.

Color Note:
I first added 3 drops of Ruby Lip Balm Color from my Professional size bottle. Then I added a tiny amount (about the equivalent of a grain of coarse stone ground cornmeal) of Black Lip Balm Color to darken the Ruby. I followed up with 1 drop of White Lip Balm Color from my Professional size bottle. I added a .15 cc scoop of the Silver Mica to the lip gloss.

Flavor Note:
I loved the Creme Brulee flavor that I got with this blend. It was perfect and I think I need to make a companion lip balm for this lip gloss now!

I hope you enjoy making this delightful lip gloss that is a perfect addition to your purse or makeup bag!
