Natural Homemade Lipstick Recipe
I had a girls night at my home and we had fun making lots of beauty DIY, Lipsticks, romantic massage oil, bath bombs, smoothing facial oil…etc.
I love making my own products. After trying some lipsticks recipes with infused herbs and flowers for colors, my best result in coloring is by using a mineral called Mica, It’s often used in mineral makeup, soaps and other natural beauty products. Mica is a brittle silicate mineral and it comes in many colors. It is considered safe and non-toxic. You can read more about it here.
Remember I only recommend products that I have used and trust myself. Learn more about the essential oils I us
Natural Homemade Lipstick Recipe

- 1/4 tsp mica cold powder color. ( get it here)
- 15 drops citrus fresh essential oil. ( get it here )

You can use any color options you like. I personally love the outcome of this combination.This lipstick can be used at the beach to protect your lips from burning.
Instructions
- Melt coconut oil, Shea or cocoa butter and beeswax in a double boiler.
Remove from heat. - Wait ONE minute to let it cool a little to make sure we preserve the thearpeutic properties of the essential oils.
- Stir in Mica Powder and essential oils .
- stir and mix with the end of a spoon and let it harden for a few seconds. Test the color and scent with your finger or on the skin of your wrist to make sure you like it. You can always add more color if you like.
- Use a glass dropper to quickly transfer the mixture to the lip gloss containers.
Let cool for 1 hour. Cap and use as needed.
Essential oils are not created equal, if you ever want to make your DIY please make sure to use the ones I recommend. I only use and recommend Young living essential oils.

August 21, 2015 at 10:23 pmI was never a gal that used a whole lot of cosmetics, but I do have a small bagful. I have never purchased lipstick because I didn’t like the chemicals and icky stuff in most brands, and the cruelty free or natural brands are too expensive – it’s better to skip it all together! I was really excited when I found this recipe @ http://affimity.com/Beauty/post/13776, because now I can be comfortable wearing a truly natural lipstick! I can’t wait to try this out – thanks a bunch!
