Would bag balm be an okay substitue for vaseline

Community Answer

Yes. They are similar and work the same. Just don't use too much, or it will make your skin oily.

Question

Is there a way I can use a mini glue stick since they work the same way as chapstick?

Ellie Homewood

Community Answer

No. Using an old glue stick is harmful. No matter how much you clean it, there is still invisible residue, which is potentially dangerous.

Question

How do you make it into lip gloss without it getting hard?

Zayla Coughlan

Community Answer

As long as you follow the instructions, then it won't get hard. But if it does start to harden, you can always heat it up again and stir a lot so it doesn't dry up. Also, be sure to keep it in an air tight container.

Question

Can I store it in a Ziploc bag?

Olivia Jiang

Community Answer

You could, but it is still best to store it in a container. Try looking around the house to see if there are any empty containers that you can use instead,or an old makeup compact or something like that. Just make sure to wash the container super good before putting the gloss in though. But again, you can still store it in a Ziploc bag.
