DIY Lush Blush Lip Gloss {Handmade Gift Idea}

By Kim Layton 5 Comments

DIY Lip Gloss - Lush Blush with free printable on EverythingEtsy.com

Homemade lip gloss is a fabulous DIY gift that’s super easy to make!  These fun little pots of lip gloss fit easily in your purse or pocket, and you’ll find it keeps your lips feeling fabulous and soft during the cold winter months or days at the beach.

Make lip gloss with your favorite essential oils to pamper your lips and look great at the same time!

I’m such a huge fan of essential oils and their benefits.  I use them in so many of my DIY projects, and you can learn more about why I do that right here.

I love the way these turned out.  I always knew making lip gloss would be easy, but I didn’t know it would be THIS easy!  Once you try this you’ll never want to go without homemade lip gloss again.

I used mineral makeup to add color to my lip gloss.  I couldn’t be happier with the color, so you might want to do the same.

Here’s a list of the supplies for 18-20 pots of lip gloss…

  • 20 Clear Lip Gloss Pots
  • 8 drops of Grapefruit Essential Oil
  • 8 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil {You can get info about the essential oils I use at the bottom of this post.}
  • 1 cup of Petroleum Jelly
  • 1 pinch of Mineral Makeup {bareminerals blush dusk}
  • Sticky Kraft Paper Sheets {for labels}

I’ve included Amazon links to make your project shopping easy.  I had such a hard time finding the lip gloss containers anywhere else.  I am a major Amazon junkie since I love getting everything delivered right to my door!  Happy mail rocks!

Add your Petroleum Jelly, essential oils and mineral makeup in a small container.  Mix well.   Start off with a small pinch of mineral makeup and then add more for a deeper color if you want.

I use quality essential oil that you can learn more about at the bottom of this post.  I love, love, love essential oils for so many reasons!  You can mix and match your favorite essential oils, but I love the combination of Grapefruit and Peppermint!  Try it first!

It’s so easy that anyone can do it.  What a fun project to do with your kids!

The tricky part is getting it into the little lip gloss pots nice and neat.  Here’s my tip…use a sandwich bag!

I placed a sandwich bag in a jar and folded over the edges.  The jar makes it stay open and it’s not messy at all as you fill it if you fold the edges back.  Then I zip up the bag and cut off the bottom corner of the bag to create my own little pastry bag of sorts.

Just squeeze the lip gloss into each one and you’re all set…no mess at all!

    I love this! Any suggestions on what I could use if I don’t have that mineral powder? I’d hate to buy a whole tub just for a few gifts. I’m trying to think of something similar but I feel stumped! 😀

      Hi Sheri!

      Well, I’ve heard of some lip gloss made using Kool-Aid. You could try that. I do think the smell would overpower the essential oils and the color could stain…maybe it would work if you use just a tiny bit. I hope that helps!

      Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Is there an alternative to the petroleum jelly? I don’t really trust it as a product to use on my skin or near my mouth.
