You know the kind of lip balm that smells like frosting, feels like velvet, and lowkey makes your cheekbones pop?  Yeah… we’re making that… in your kitchen.

This is not your waxy gas station stick.  This is bootleg glamour in a tiny jar.

💄 DIY Snackable Lip & Glow Balm

You’ll Need:

1 tbsp coconut oil

1 tbsp shea butter or cocoa butter

½ tsp beeswax pellets (for firmness)

Optional: 1–2 drops vanilla, orange, or peppermint essential oil

Even more optional: a pinch of mica shimmer or beetroot powder for tint


How To Make It:

1. Melt oils and beeswax together in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl.

2. Stir in your chosen flavor or shimmer while it’s still liquid.

3. Pour into a tiny jar or lip balm tube.

4. Let it cool until solid, and try not to eat it. (Kidding… mostly.)
