Lip gloss is a part of every woman's lip care routine. They can be shimmery, translucent, colored. Their purpose is not only to beautify the lips and make them appear luscious and kissable, it protects the lips from drying.Not only you know exactly what you put in them, you are able to custom make them so they have a flavor or fragrance of your choice.
Preparation of lip gloss recipes require the same equipment used for preparation of lip balm recipes : double boiler, saucepan or a microwave safe container. You will also need a small jar or container that you can store it in.

Note
This lip gloss recipe is pretty much the most perfect recipe I have seen lately. It contains almond oil and Vitamin E. Why is this significant?
Almond oil is an emolient, like glycerin. It locks in the moisture and keeps it there, leaving the lips soft and hydrated.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps the skin heal and remain healthy. These two are a great combination. Your lips will be protected from free radicals and nourished at the same time.
