take two tin cans. using your double boiler, melt a chunk of beeswax in one can. in the other, melt together about a tablespoon of cocoa butter, and a tablespoon of almond oil. add a few drops of vitamin e, and stir in one tablespoon of the melted beeswax. add your oils (you only need a few drops). add colour (it’s easy to use old lipstick -- just throw in a chunk) and glitter, if you want.

pour the melted mass into your tin. let cool. viola!

the important thing is to keep your ratios straight: 1 part solid, 1 part semisolid, and 1 part liquid. i’ve found that roughly 3 tablespoons of ingredients equals 3 tins of lipgunk.
