How to Make DIY Fireworks Lip Gloss

[@jamiebianco]

I love that you made this in a “tiny” batch. When I make things, especially for the first time, I really just want one or two! So, thank you for that 👍🏼

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks! My house is positively overflowing with DIYs already, might as well try to temper the damage haha.

[@lindatrucha]

I really like the fact that you always do small quantities, sometimes I just want to try a product but there is always the choice of making less

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It's a must when you love to make, otherwise you're drowning in DIYs before you know what happened :P

[@sarahcampbell263]

I'm going to try this recipe. If you cut the end off a pipette it fits over the syringe nozzle - lengthening the nozzle and you can get right to the bottom of the container to fill the lip gloss.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Ooooh, awesome idea! I can't wait to give it a go :D Thanks!

[@nickyn3907]

Thanks for the tip

Can you pls do a video on what wax or best to use for liquid lipsticks

[@netanyal.a.d]

Can you do a video on making a clear lipgloss base?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

If you don't add any colour to this it will go on clear :)

[@valentia_r1580]

@@HumblebeeAndMe may you please make the one with a gel consistency..like tkb

[@cynnaratregarth2009]

Happy Birthday! Awesome! Obviously you know my obsession with lip gloss. This should be fun. 💋 Good thing I got a promotion to go shopping for goodies. Lol

[@belindakarst7515]

Cynnara Tregarth Seriously, you need an excuse to go shopping?!?! Do we need to have a conversation???😂🤣😂

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

OOoooh! Take me on your shopping trip lol, I promise not to be a bad influence 😈

[@nballesterob]

Hi. Try to squish the tube and the push the syringe. That will let the gloss go inside quicker and easier!. I learn it in the hard way lol. Thanks and greetings from Costa Rica. Love you videos!!!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'll have to try that next time :) Thanks for watching!

[@LivingBreadHomestead]

What a cute little pot. Good video too. Happy Birthday♡

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Happiest of Birthdays to you, Marie! Mine is the day after yours. :) Love love love this video! Thank you for making it! :)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks, and happy birthday to you as well! :)

[@ElleCh4nel]

Yayy! It always makes my day knowing that you uploaded a new video! :) This seems a very interesting recipe. i just need to buy the glitter and the liquid carmine dye. Could you please make a recipe for a pressed face highlighter? :)

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks, Michelle! My book has lots of highlighter recipes + instructions on how to press them :) www.humblebeeandme.com/make-it-up-preorder/

[@ElleCh4nel]

Humblebee & Me that's amazing! Thank you. Do you think you'll ever release it in ebook format? It's not available in my country in paperback format :(

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

+Michelle Black It has always been available as an ebook, but if the book isn't available in your country I'm not sure the ebook will be either. Where are you?

[@ElleCh4nel]

Humblebee & Me I'm in Italy... I tried ordering the ebook from amazon UK but it wasn't letting me.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hmm, a physical copy may be the way to go, then, since I'm assuming digital licensing is getting in the way. Have you looked at eBay? www.ebay.co.uk/p/Make-it-Up-The-Essential-Guide-to-DIY-Makeup-and-Skin-Care-by-Marie-Rayma-Paperback-2016/232707787

[@sueroach3519]

Hi Marie , Happy Birthday to you. Can you tell me if the glitter and mica is the same as I would use in soap, please. I do make soap so I have that on hand, I would love to try some . By the way , I love your book Make it up, only just received it , can't wait to try some of the goodies. 💕

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Hey Sue! Yes, stuff used for soap is typically cosmetic grade or food grade, which is also what we use for cosmetics :) Thank you so much for buying my book and happy making!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

The only thing to add to that would be to make sure any specific pigments or micas are safe for lips/eyes/wherever you're putting them; some are and some aren't :) Doesn't mean they aren't cosmetic grade, just means they aren't good for use on that particular part of your face.

[@esterixis]

Happy birthday, Marie! Best wishes!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you! :D

[@cherishmariexo]

Hi there! Thanks for the fabulous video! ♡ I have a question for u, so the lip gloss without the color, how does it look on? Is it fairly clear or does it have a cloudy white-ish look to it? I am going to attempt to dupe my fave lip gloss that is actually clear with super fine irridessent glitter & the recipes I see online are pretty basic for the base.. the one I'm duping has vitamin E oil & other lovely things so its nourishing for your lips & it isnt sticky either. So it's a lot like your recipe. I just want to make sure this gloss shows up as clear with the glitter and not "white-ish", if that makes sense? Thanks love! I'm also going to buy your book, cant wait to read it! Blessings ♡ Cherish

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It's clear on the skin if you don't colour it :)

[@danieleandoresmakeup1673]

Would ozokerite wax work as a replacement? I can't get bellina wax in my country...

[@utymarin]

Happy birthay Marie! Have fun!,

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks, Ursula!

Happy birthday Marie!!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks, Belinda!

[@gummichoco]

Hello! I love your videos, and was wondering if you knew if whole cochineal can be ground and used for lip colorants?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

No; "To prepare carmine, the powdered scale insect bodies are boiled in an ammonia or sodium carbonate solution, the insoluble matter is removed by filtering, and alum is added to the clear salt solution of carminic acid to precipitate the red aluminium salt, called "carmine lake" or "crimson lake" (the lake here deriving from the word lac, referring to a resinous secretion)." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmine). So... not unless you have the chemistry know-how to do all that!

[@gummichoco]

Wow, that's pretty interesting. Thanks for your informative reply :)

[@Hastupropionegocio]

Where did you get the bellina wax and the iridiscent glitter? 😊😊

[@-3-5-7-]

It just seems that you need a thinner syringe. The reason you have to shake it so much is because you can't fill the bottom and move upwards because of its thickness

[@Barboler]

Is the glitter you are using biodegradable or eco glitter

[@cestlaviedawn7361]

Happy Birthday Marie 😊

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks so much!

[@danuncooper8731]

I just recently find your video and it so good. I’m a new business owner and there are so much way to make lipgloss and lot of people always use versagel but in your video I notice you leave out that ingredients, so what I’m asking is if I use Cera bellina was or yellow beeswax and mix it with my oil can I add it to my lipgloss base- versagel. Cause I get the concept of the beeswax to thicken the lipgloss if I’m not mistaken. I made some few glosses myself and I just add versagel and mix it with color of my choice and add the mica, but the texture of the color wasn’t showing much once apply onto lips even though it was pigmented. If I’m making lipgloss and mix the oil with the beeswax and let it melt all together can I add it to my versagel or will that be too thick. Sorry for the long message just want to get clarify .

[@coffeesreviewsTV]

I wish they still have KZbin messenger, I would say a handful about this. It is a shame she never answered you in 6 months, you put a lot of thought into this question. You should try TaraLee channel she is really good and try to answer your questions. I wish I could contact you.

[@mariaarman8933]

It will help many people around world 😊

[@ayosutherland4120]

Hello, can we use this recipe with Versagel?

[@katkat7443]

you are the best love millie

[@katkat7443]

Thanks for your great videos - I've steered my daughter Millie away from diy videos that involve melting crayons and soaking pencils to use as makeup (yikes!) to your channel instead - and she says you have a really friendly voice. Cheers!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks Millie & Katherine! Happy making :)

[@glendagatchalian]

How long will this lipgloss last? (Expiration)?

[@Ladystardust555]

Love your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge :3 Is this eyelid safe?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

The glitter would be the thing to check-make sure it's eye safe :)

[@Ladystardust555]

Thank you!

[@Greenavery1395]

Hello! So, this might actually be a weird and whacky question... so if you say “no”, it’s fair enough. Haha! But can I technically repurpose this pretty much INTO an ointment of some sort? The consistency is what a friend of mine loves compared to lotion, so say I put EO of Lavender or something and use it on the arm... could that work? Or am I just “wishful thinking”? (This is before adding anything after its cool down - but with the added Vit E, since it’s nice to have.) Also. Just a note. I do need a lip gloss. So whether I can repurpose or not, doesn’t really phase me, ☝🏻this is happening! 🙌🏻

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You definitely can re-purpose this as desired! I would personally find this to be more oily/tacky than I'd like in something for general skin application, but if you like it, go for it. I'd also recommend searching "ointment" on my blog for other ideas :)

[@VENUSEH]

Hi Marie! I was wondering if I use Cerabelina, Castor Oil, Coconut OIl and Vitamin E and skip the Safflower Oil and Benzoin, Would that work? Or can I use Vegetable Glycerine to replace Safflower or Benzoin? I can't wait to use my just arrived Cerabelina from Safire Blue!!! I wasn in Canada and ordered a buch of stuff!! I am soooo excited!! Let me know

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Don't skip the liquid oil-it is over 40% of the recipe! You can't just eliminate 40% of a recipe, haha, that's like dropping the flour from a cake recipe :P You can skip the benzoin, though. You cannot use vegetable glycerin instead of either as it is a completely different thing and it's water soluble (sort of like using water instead of butter in a cake recipe). Please click through to the blog to read the big list on substitutions in this recipe :)

[@VENUSEH]

Ok, I get it. But SaffLower Oil, can it be replaced by Jojoba? Almond oil?

[@akudumb3021]

VENUSEH Yes!

[@aakankshasonalkar2158]

Can I try using petroleum jelly instead of cera bellina? It's not available ANYWHERE near me or online :(

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

No; look up cera bellina in the Humblebee & Me DIY Encyclopedia (www.humblebeeandme.com/diy-encyclopedia/) to learn more.

[@dianantari8288]

Happy birthday, Marie! Best wishes ahead xx

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks, Dian!

[@bspeakman5102]

Hi marie hope your move went well.anyway I'm just wondering the recipe below the vid are different measurements than what u say in the video.for instance u say 3.3 grams cera bellina and below u have 15g|0.53oz 4.4g castor oil which is diff below.is it because u made a smaller batch on the video? sorry maybe a stupid question lol i really wnt to make this :) thx in advance for answering.

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

From the post: "I made a much smaller batch of this-100g is a TON of lip gloss, but smaller batches gave very odd numbers, requiring a scale that measures down to at least 0.1g, if not 0.01g. I made a 20g batch. You can easily re-calculate this recipe by turning the “g” in “%” and then scale up or down as required! My 20g batch used 1/4 tsp glitter, 1/32 tsp silver, and 2 drops carmine dye (though the carmine was just for half that, so more like a 10g batch-watch the video to see what I mean!)." :) This is also mentioned in the video, right around 1:40.

[@trishameloling2367]

Do you reuse your lipgloss tubes or just buy new ones if you reuse them how you clean the inside

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I buy new ones-they are too hard to properly clean and dry for safe re-use.

[@Random_847]

💖 thank you!

[@fahimemirzaei8882]

Hey marie ^_^ we have born at the same day! by the way, I love your recepie and products. do you also have a transparent lipgloss recepie?

Thank you so much! ❤️

Hope you have the best birthday ever!!!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you! It was a pretty great one :D

[@kiliclark7892]

I read your blog post about carrier oils, and I was wondering if, for as this recipe, we could substitute safflower oil with canola oil?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

+Ki Li Clark Yup!

[@miriamperdomo2292]

How would you make just clear lip gloss??? TIA

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Clear lip glosses are usually made with a product like Versagel (tkbtrading.com/products/tkb-gloss-base-versagel) as the base :)

[@trishameloling2367]

I like shine lipgloss and moisturizing lipgloss do you have any color moisturizing lipgloss

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You can find all my lip makeup recipes (including lip gloss) here: www.humblebeeandme.com/make-lipstick-lip-stain-lip-makeup/ :)

[@Dgarays]

Can any glitter do or it has to be cosmetic grade?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It should be cosmetic grade :)

[@دعاءنصير-غ5خ]

Can we use other types of tubes ??

[@akudumb3021]

دعاء نصير Yes, any kind of container is okay

[@SerenityJaeHandmade]

can you use candelilla wax instead?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

You can certainly try it, though I do recommend reviewing the resources on my blog (humblebeeandme.com) re: how waxes different from one another :)

[@mariaarman8933]

Keep sharing recipes

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I will! Don't forget to check out my blog (humblebeeandme.com)-I've been blogging for over 8 years while I’ve only been on KZbin for about 3.5, so there is TONS more content on the blog!

[@marilyn1228]

Could you use a pastry bag or even a zip-lock bag with a small hole on one corner rather than a syringe?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'm with M on this; it's pretty gross and messy to do the bag route, and you lose a ton of product + have to throw out the bag. I'd use a small funnel if you don't have a syringe.

[@indirakhana324]

U neva apply the stuff u make after making it so we don't get an idea how it looks or how long it stays or is it smudge or water proof etc

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

For something like lip gloss I can guarantee it's never going to be waterproof or smudge-proof-lip gloss is a pretty soft end product and soft products are never smudge-proof, at least not with the ingredients we can get at home. For products where wear and application are more important I usually do, or instead of a video tutorial I'll have a tutorial showing the product in action. Also, make sure you are clicking through to the blog!

Hi Sorry to bother u again. Can u tell me how many tubes the recipe below the video makes? Thx 😊

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

This is covered in the blog & video as well-the general answer is "it depends 100% on how much you make and how big your tubes are, and you will need to do some math" :P

[@trabrecemarbley4905]

[@ebelechukwuokeke5232]

Can I use Shea butter oil?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I don't recommend it for this formulation, but you can certainly try!

[@shushu230]

I’ve noticed that you change the ingredients when you are making different videos of the Gloss. Is that necessary every time I change a color?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I'm not sure if you're talking about the different variations of this particular lip gloss in this particular video, or multiple videos. In the case of this video, the only ingredients that are changed are the ones that change the colour, so yes, you do need to change those ingredients if you want to change the colour :)

[@inertia86]

oooo! you are a leo like I am... I am the 21st. happy birthday to you

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thanks so much, and happy birthday to you as well!

[@Cardinal0602]

What temp would you say med heat is?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

I usually choose 3-4 on my stove dial; we're looking to bring the water to a bare simmer, so it's probably somewhere just shy of 100°C.

[@angelinanatural3144]

happy birthday!!!

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

Thank you! :D

[@heatherclements2680]

Is that a cosmetic glitter or an edible glitter?

[@HumblebeeAndMe]

It's cosmetic grade that is approved for lip use.

Why is it that you are not swatching this or squeezing the product out of the tube ao we can see a close up on the consistency and know what to expect if we try this recipe?
