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

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
