DIY Cranberry Lip Gloss

It’s cranberry season!

 

You don’t have to spend your afternoons sippin’ Oceanspray or wading through bogs to get close to the season’s favorite berry. With this homemade recipe—perf for gifts or personal use—you’ll be rockin’ an au naturale runway-style pout.

 

What You’ll Need:

 

1 tablespoon almond oil

10 fresh cranberries

1 teaspoon honey

Microwave-safe bowl

Spoon

Fine sieve

Tubes or pots for lip balm (find ‘em at any drugstore)

 

What You’ll Do:

 

Pour the almond oil, cranberries and honey into a bowl and microwave for short stints until it begins to boil. Remove the bowl, grab your spoon and gently crush the cranberries. Stir the mixture well, then strain the liquid through a fine sieve to remove the bits of cranberry that remain. Pour the lip balm into the containers you’ve chosen and get ready to go red.

 

Tip: Want a little extra shine? Add a teaspoon of petroleum jelly to your mixture before microwaving.
 
Gift it! Wrap your pot of lip balm in some clear cellophane, tie with a festive ribbon and toss it in a stocking, on your bestie's desk or in gift basket. Sweet!

MOD! Could you use almond extract instead of oil?
Thanks.

 

Hey girlie, you could try a different flavored oil, but since oil and extract have such different textures it'll need to be an oil to come out right.

can you use oranges in this recipe??




I don't see why not! But keep in mind that oranges have more juice than cranberries, so you might want to use less. Or you could use the cranberries but add a drop of orange extract, which will give it the scent and flavor without changing the recipe too much Smile

if I used strawberries instead... how many would I need?

Hey girl,

I'm not sure since this is a strawberry recipe, but I think 2 or 3 would be enough!
