DIY: Crystal Lip Balms



This is a tutorial on how to make your own crystal infused lip balms. Choose the energies you would like to wear or gift. Here I have chosen a raw Turquoise programmed for better communications and a black Obsidian to aid digestion.


You will need:
1 tablespoon of beeswax
2 tablespoons of Vitamin E few drops of Essential Oil (or flavoring)
2 small programmed crystals of your choise lipstick for coloring (optional)

Equipment:
1 pot to boil water
1 glass jar
1 pair of tongs
1 oven mit
2 lipbalm containers
tablespoon
metal butter knife


1. Cut out 1 tablespoon worth of beeswax using a hammer and screwdriver if you have a block of it.



2. Measure out 2 tablespoons of Vitamin E. Pour into the glass jar with the 1 tablespoon of beeswax. Put the lid back on.


3. Boil about an inch of water in your pot.



4. Place your glass jar in the boiling water and boil at medium heat until the wax is completely melted.



5. Carefully remove your jar with tongs and oven mit.



6. Remove the lid with your oven mit. I worked in the sink to avoid any potential messes.


7. Stir the liquid with your butter knife.


8. Place a few drops of essential oil or flavoring into the mix until it smells as you would like it. I used Vanilla Extract in this batch. Mix well so it is incorporated into the liquid.




9. Add a few scrapings of lipstick for coloring if you like. Mix well.



10. Place your programmed crystals in the lipbalm containers.


11. Carefully pour your lipbalm mix into the containers over the crystals.

12. Let cool for one hour. Place the lids over the lipbalms & enjoy!
