Buying lip-gloss is one of the finer things in a girl’s life. Make-up is expensive no matter what brand a person buys. Some have found ways around the expense by creating their own concoctions at home. Kool-Aid is a flavorful drink mix that many people love.
However, it is also used in many recipes and even for hair dye. It’s cheap, at about a quarter a pack and so versatile. A new video that went viral shows that by taking petroleum jelly and Kool-Aid, a person can make an amazing lip gloss. It all starts by selecting the best flavor of Kool-Aid for the person.
The petroleum jelly must be put in the microwave and warmed. The jelly will not completely melt; rather it will turn into a thinner mixture but won’t be liquefied. When the jelly is at a softer consistency, then it can be poured into a vessel that is holding the Kool-Aid mixture.
It is noted that chapped lips will be burnt unless sugar is added. Sugar will take away the bitter bite from the Kool-Aid. Those who want a sugar free treat can enjoy it without any issues. Lastly, a little water is added to make the mixture creamy. It costs roughly a dollar to make one tube of lip gloss.
The great thing is it can be done in any flavor and color combination that is needed. Make several tubes at once to give away to friends. With the holidays fast approaching, this is one gift giving idea that is sure to please.
