This recipe is inspired by this post but I have omitted the peppermint essential oil (5-10 drops)

  • Melt the beeswax, Shea butter, cocoa butter, avocado oil, and magnesium stearate together in a small saucepan over low heat. 
  • Thoroughly stir in the clay and essential oil, 
  • Pour into either 4 lip balm tube or small tin (I have used an empty round Vaseline tin) 

This lipstick is best applied with a brush. 

The original post was called Red Rose lipstick and on the pictures attached it looked deep red. My Australian Reef clay must have been a different batch as it came out brown and not red. 

Next time I've attempted this I have added 2 tsp of white kaolin clay which lightened up the colour to brown/red but still nowhere near the red like in original post.
