Melting Lipsticks – My New Love

One thing is certain, I have wayyy too many lipsticks, and those lipsticks tend to take up a lot of space in my makeup stash. So I decided it was time to do something about it. I bought a ton of little 5 gram jars and I took the lipsticks and melted them in a stainless steel ladle and make little lippie pots. I actually prefer potted lipsticks and lipglosses, because it gives me the best opportunity to use lip brushes, which I love.

When I learned the technique for doing this, I followed Enkore’s tutorial on youtube. He made it look sooo easy. And I think I’m getting better at it, now that i figured out the correct way of pouring the melted lipstick into the pot.

So, if doing this will help you, then check out his tutorial :)

Part I

Part II

So if you are bored, give this a shot, but just be very careful :) Dealing with heat and flames is very dangerous. So just be safe :) .

A couple of people have emailed me asking about an alternative to the Burt’s Bees toner that I use as a mixing medium. This is a video by Enkore from YouTube. I’ve used this method before and it works wonderfully. :)
