Make A Lip Palette

Steps (18 steps, 60 minutes)

1. 1

   Flavors/Colors/Scents can literally be made out of ANYTHING.
   Ideas:
   Peanut Butter
   Essence or Extract (example: vanilla)
   Powdered Drink Mix
   Eyeshadow
   Bronzer
   Blush
   Old lipstick
   Candy
   Food Coloring
   Crayons
   Chocolate
   Coffee
   Old Book Smell
   etc. Anything, seriously

2. 2

   To START, take a spoonful of Vaseline and put it in the small, microwave-safe bowl.

3. 3

   Put the same amount of flavoring on top of the Vaseline. I used peanut butter here (It will NOT turn your lips brown, just a clear, shiny color). But you can use just about anything.

4. 4

   FYI, To use a powder, just take the end of a spoon and scrape it off into the container. In this picture, I was using bronzer.

5. 5

   After you have your ingredients in the bowl, microwave for 1 minute. If the mixture still has chunks in it, just stir and they will dissolve. Cation when taking it out of the microwave; it will be hot.

6. 6

   Let the mixture cool for a little and then pour it into a small Dixie cup. READ the NEXT STEP before you do this though.

7. 7

   The height of the liquid should only be about as much as in the picture. Unless you want more product in your palette.

8. 8

   Wait for that to dry. Optional: Put it in the freezer.
   Once dry, it should look something like this.

9. 9

   Once dry, cut the top of the cup.

10. 10

    Cut down to the lip gloss.

11. 11

    Cut around the lip gloss like so.

12. 12

    Repeat with 3 other flavor/color/scents of your choice.
    These are mine:
    Upper left hand corner: Peanut Butter/clear gloss
    Upper right: Matte pink eye shadow/lemon
    Lower left: Matte purple eye shadow/vanilla
    Lower right: Sparkly Bronzer/No smell

13. 13

    Making of the container:
    I used an old Band-Aid holder
    Use whatever is wide and deep enough to hold the colors of lip gloss.

14. 14

    Use newspaper or decorative paper (or a picture of something) to mod-podge to the front. Cut it out in the shape you need.

15. 15

    Put Mod Podge on the container's surface and lay the paper down. Smooth out the air bubbles and put on a coat of Mod Podge over top of the paper. Let it dry.
    I used the WSJ on the front of mine.

16. 16

    Do the same for the inside of the container. Then add some strips of paper where you would like the lip gloss to sit to provide a rougher surface for the adhesive. Make sure not the Mod Podge over top of the two strips of paper.

17. 17

    Add your lip gloss pots with Glue Dots or tape. You can also glue them. However, if you glue them , you cannot change them later on when they run out. I arranged them from lightest to darkest. You can arrange them any way you want.

18. 18

    And you're done! Now you have a customizable lip palette! (This doubles as blush also.) At this point, you could also add a small mirror at the top. By the way, these make awesome gifts. I hope this tutorial wasn't too confusing!
