So I found this recipe online for making your own lip gloss. I thought it was pretty cool, and decided to give it a try. I had to use what I could find in my house, because I can't drive, and my parents don't like to drive. So, I used Vaseline (petroleum jelly), some mint extract, and shavings from an old lipstick. For a lip gloss container, I used a craft-store bottle cap from a previous craft adventure. In my pic, you can see the finished lip gloss in the bottle cap, a pipette I used to put in the mint extract, and the old lipstick I used for color. Results: it looks pretty good, and has an intense color from the lipstick. It smells really good, too, and the petroleum jelly makes it shiny. But it tastes like crap, and it's a little torturous for it to smell so good and taste awful. But that's how life works. I'll probably use this when I need a little color. It's not very long-lasting, and because of the petroleum jelly, it's a little messy to put on with fingers, so I'll definitely have to use a mirror, but I think it's pretty good for a first try.

Going to bed, so goodnight! xox
