  • Question
    Can I use olive oil and honey? Will that work (maybe with food coloring)?
    Community Answer
    Olive oil will probably make your lip gloss too runny and possibly chunky. If you don't have Vaseline you could try coconut oil, Waxelene, Alba Un Petroleum, or Jao Brand Goe Oil. As for the coloring, food coloring will stain your lips. Try using melted (colored) chapstick or lipstick instead.

    I tried the first option, but the honey and petroleum jelly move to different layers when it cools down and doesn't mix. What can I do?

    You can't really do anything, but you can try getting boiling hot water, pouring it into a bowl, and getting a smaller bowl to put your product in it. Next leave the small bowl with the product to melt, mix it well, and try again.

    You can apply your lip gloss as much as you want. Just don’t apply too much, or it will get sticky.

    3 tbsp of honey and Vaseline. I've made the Vaseline and eyeshadow/blush one. I liked it, and it didn't take long to make.

    Is there anything that can replace vaseline and get the same results?

    Any kind of vaseline-type mixture should work. Waxelene, Alba Un Petroleum, and Jao Brand Goe Oil are all examples.

    You could, but I personally think it's not super pigmented and I don't really like the texture.
  • Question
    Can I just use only honey?
    Community Answer
    That would be extremely sticky.

    Yes, but it will be sticky and unpleasant, so I would not advise doing this. The sugar in honey melts, and forms an unpleasant texutre. Also, if honey is often open, it can turn white and become crystallized.
