Let’s be honest. We all own more beauty products than our lips, cheeks, or eyes can handle. A few weeks ago, I did a massive clean out of my makeup drawer and realized that I have far too many unwanted beauty products taking up precious space. These include lipcolors that I know I would NEVER EVER wear or products that I loathe such as loose mineral eyeshadow or blush (sooo messy). Not sure what I was thinking…
I’m not the only person guilty of this, right?!
The brighter side to this madness is that I’m a little obsessed with lip balm. Dry, cracked lips just irk me! I generally moisturize my lips in the morning after showering, at night after washing my face, and about a hundred times throughout the day. It’s not neurotic behavior, I swear.
So with all these excess beauty products, I’m sure I can create my own tinted lip balm. I mean, they’ll never go to waste…
You’ve probably seen some versions of this diy floating around the web. They are really sooo easy to make.
I made lip balm two ways: one with a lipstick and the other with loose mineral blush. Petroleum jelly acts as the base (who doesn’t own this?).
Rosebud is my absolute favorite lip balm.
The blending part is easy. Put petroleum jelly and lipcolor/loose mineral blush into a small ziploc bag. Seal the bag. Mix (by rubbing the two products together) on the outside of the bag- your hands will stay clean!
Once blending is done, snip the edge of the bottom corner and pipe the balm into a small container.
So pretty and the colors are very subtle.
Beauty junkies, clean out your beauty junk drawer and give this easy but fun diy a try. They make great gifts for your loves as well.
Hope you had a FAB Valentines!
Great post! and I love your photography.
Thia is so cool. Will definitely try to make it. Thanks for sharing.

Made this yesterday. It is So easy to make. The unfortunate placement of a candle next to my favorite lipstick and chap stick left both melted beyond application from the tube. I mixed them up using this recipe for tinted lip balm and problem solved. PROS: easy, great for extending the life of a lip color, makes your lips feel nourished rather than dried out from lip stick. CONS: Hard to wash off your finger if you apply it that way, smeary like lip gloss.
Thanks for this, will definitely make this!
I wonder what would happen if you put peppermint oil, or some vanilla extract in it?! I’m going to try it.
Great idea!
This is an amazing idea! So creative. I always have a bunch of makeup lying around that I never use, so I definitely plan on trying this out myself! Is it possible to mix the blush and the lipstick with the petroleum jelly for a combination of the two colors?
Hi Brepasi- I think the mixing of the blush and lipstick is a great idea!
This one’s awesome! i might try it…
This is awesome !!
This looks lovely
I’m definitely going to try and make some! I’m hosting a giveaway over on my blog at the moment if you want to check it out 
Love this!
Such a simple but effective idea – I’m going to try it with my step daughter this week. Thanks!

this sounds like my kind of DIY easy with a great and fulfilling result.
Will make awesome presents too
This would be a great activity to do with our girls! Thank you for this post. I’ll post on my blog with pics of us doing it, when I have the time of course, not gonna lie
Great idea to use old lipsticks. I rarely use lipstick and am a lip balm fiend also so this would be a great way to use it up!
I think I need to do this just because it looks so fun!

The idea of your hard earned money spent on unwanted beauty products and making lip balm from them is amazing. I had to reboot this post.
Looks easy enough😋😋 why not give it a try . Thx for the tip!
So smart! I love the idea of piping the balm into a container. I have the perfect little containers that I found in the travel size toiletries section of Target! Thanks for the tutorial!
Whaaat, I would never think to try to make my own. How cool!

I’ve made tinted lip balm before, but I still found new ideas from this
Also… the images are just sooo pretty.
Such a brilliant way to recycle unwanted lip colours and beauty products! I hate cracked lips too, I always have a tub of vaseline on me! Great post
you do such adorable things. looks so nice and a great tip. thanks.
Love it! Thanks for the tip.
Thats a great tip, dry cracked lips are awful and uncomfortable and I can never be short of lip balm either! Yes I also have to much coloured cosmetics than I can handle. But I’ve never bought loose eyeshadow or loose blush I just assumed it would be to messy… and your post has just confirmed this assumption. Now thats a great idea for those unused lipsticks, especially the ones with those uncomfortable dry formulas.
These look delightful!
great tip
The problem with that stuff is I’d be too tempted to eat it. Like playdo. Amazing pictures, though! Just keep the food away from me!
Great idea, Kellie!
Cool tips.
So so cool! I’m going to give this a try this weekend!!!
Cool! What a great idea.
awesome DIY! must give this a try!
I am a huge fan of vaseline for my lips and to remove eye makeup. I will have to give this a try!
LOVE THIS! I use Vaseline for everything. Why didn’t I think of this? Happy Valentine’s Day!
awesome idea!
Love this idea! I know I have some lip colors that I’ve only used once or twice, what a great way to recycle them!
You aren’t the only o e guilty of that!
I regularly throw out items that I must have bought j a fit of temporary insanity…for instance eyeshadow contour colours never suit me but for some mad reason I still buy them..
