Homemade Lip Gloss

I am a self confessed lip balm junkie. I have a million of little Chapstick, Burt's Bees, and Labello cases everywhere. Ten points if you know of Labello- it's only sold in Europe. But all those little lip balm's get really expensive- especially if you need one in every bag and send them through the washing machine in your pockets as often as I do. Well, there is a thriftier way! In a great recipe from Angry Chicken, you can make your own and it's super easy. I've seen many lip balm recipe and this is by far the simplest I ever seen.
1 teaspoon of cocoa butter
1 teaspoon of shea butter
1 teaspoon of almond oil
a little of vitamin E oil
15 drops of sweet orange essential oil (or really any smelly and flavored oil)

Melt together, pour into a empty tin or case, set in a refrigerator. Sounds easy right? And once you have those ingredients, you can make it over and over again. Man, I am going to save so much money!
