An ongoing side-project in which I explore the mysteries of beauty products and attempt to master the art of application.

Homemade Beauty Goodies
Is this an obscene photo? No indeed, it's my homemade lotion!
So my dad orders tons of beeswax for his metal working dealies, so I decided it'd be awesome if I nabbed some and tried to make my own beauty goods!
So here are some of the results: two different colored lip balms (which I love incidentally), and a runny lotion.
The lotion was creamy when I made it originally - at home, in a cold environment. When I brought the bottle back to school however, it became a much more gooey liquidy consistency.
Conclusion? Lotion making will require more practice, but lip balm is full of win. The hyper-moisturizing nature of both of these seem to be working great with my oh-so touchy skin, so I'll probably try to refine my recipe over the summer.
