It's home-made so I can still tweak it... Thoughts?

Baww thanks all!

This was actually a variation of a recipe I learned on Beautylish! Unfortunately I forget who it was :/

Anyways my method was to break up about 3/4 of a cherry crayon and like a super small piece of a violet crayon (both the lipstick and my skin are a little cooler than this photo makes it seem!), add about 1/2tsp of coconut oil, and a toothpick all in a little plastic pot, microwave it for 15-20 seconds, stir, add the tiniest squeeze of sunscreen (like a pea size onto my finger first and let it drop into the container, stir with the toothpick, and continue microwaving incrementally until it's liquid and all stirred together. Then once it cools it will be a smooth and soft pot lipstick :D

I have a feeling it may not have the best staying power but I will report back on it. But the pigment is very rich! Like a crayon haha.

I also used it as a cream blush in this photo fyi :D it's fun to make. My first one was more of a strawberry pink and it's so fun and cheap to experiment with colours this way.

Sounds like someone had a little bit of DIY fun ;)! Well I love it, and definitely will be trying that method soon! Soon meaning once I go and buy a box of crayons lol.

Hiba that might mean you need to add more of the other ingredients than you have, so that it's less waxy. It should melt back down again just fine if you want to try :)

Either that or you might just need to warm it up before using it by rubbing your finger on the surface since all the ingredients are solid at room temperature, but since it is part coconut oil which melts with body heat it should soften as long as it contains enough oil. Good luck!

Yep that's right :) maybe your crayons were just more waxy than mine or something haha.

It's beautiful!! Try doing a bolder look with your eyeliner... Like a black cat eye with gel or liquid eyeliner..I think that would enhance the look...just my opinion...you're beautiful!!

Good idea! I usually do a little cat eye as my everyday liner but I was concerned that with a red lip I might overdo it. I'll go for it next time :)
