DIY Tinted lip balm in a locket



This easy DIY is perfect for when you have just a tiny smudge of your favourite lipstick that you refuse to throw away, and then you end up scraping out every last bit putting it in to a random pot and forgetting about it.

 Well here is a perfect, cute, practical way to fix this problem! 

What you will need:

>Your Lip stick of choice  
>Vaseline  
>A locket
>microwave safe container

What to do:

First thing to do is scrape out the left over lipstick and put it in to your container. 
Now grab the vaseline and put a little less than double the amount of lipstick. 
(The more vaseline the less pigmented) also if you want to customise it more you can put eye shadow or flavoured lip balm to make it your own.

Place the microwave safe container in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time what you need is for the Vaseline and the lipstick to be liquid.

When your done melting, stir the mixture so all the colours are blended and gently pour the mixture in to your locket, don't worry if it spills over the sides, if it gets a bit messy it can be easily cleaned up.

Once you have poured it in place, put it in to the fridge for a hour to set,
When your balm has set clean up the sides if it got messy when you was pouring.


And then your done! you can have your favorite lipstick hanging around your neck 
these make great gifts and are so easy to do!
