• small container
• corn starch
• freezer (optional)
• bowl

Instructions:

1. Take a spoon full of petroleum jelly and pour it in a bowl.
2. Then take 1 teaspoon of honey, and mix it in the petroleum jelly.
3. Sprinkle in some corn starch as you're mixing the mixture, (the more corn starch, the thicker the petroleum mixture will be)!
4. When you have done all that, you can drop in some fruit coloring or any type of fruit juice, it's your choice.
5. For the container, you can use an old lip gloss container or a jar.
6. You can put it in the freezer, the lip gloss would get more moisturized.
7. Insure all containers are sterile by boiling them to prevent contamination of your lip loss.
8. If you wish to dye this balm you can use a cosmetic coloring available from homemade body product supply stores. You can also use a small amount of store bought lipstick to tint the balm.

9. Alternatively you can also use colored beeswax or candle dye as it is being used in such a small quantity it will not stain or harm your skin.
