DIY Kool-Aid Lip Gloss – only 3 ingredients!

We recently had a DIY Day with a few girl friends and the day was all about bath products. We tried to find things that were easy and didn’t require double-boilers or very many ingredients. I found a recipe for DIY lip gloss that only had three ingredients and we were sold!

The recipe had 1 cup of petroleum jelly and let me say – that makes a LOT of lip gloss. We filled all the little containers plus had this plastic bowl with the rest. The nice thing is – just heat it up and stir and you can pour it into more of the little containers!

Rachel found these containers in the bead section at Michaels – but didn’t realize until the day of that they didn’t have individual lids – the bottom of one was the lid for another – thus – they weren’t ideal containers. That said – they worked fine for our small crew. I think they have other types of these containers at the Dollar Store and online. Just be sure to pay attention to make sure you get ones that are separate if you’re going to give them out to friends.

The cost on this is REALLY cheap – the petroleum jelly is $4, kool-aid is less than $1 and the containers vary depending on where you get them. But if you’re making gifts for the holidays – it’s really quick and easy and one batch would probably make 10-15 little jars!

I will say – I don’t really taste the Kool-Aid when I use it – I was hoping for a little more flavor – but it goes on smooth so I like it!
