DIY Beauty Projects to Try on Weekends!

2 tbs Lanolin
1/4 tsp Beet Powder (the more you use, the more pigmented your gloss will be)
1-3 drops Peppermint Oil (this gives you that "plumping tingle". *Optional)

Mix everything together and store in an airtight container. You may have to warm the lanolin just a bit to dissolve the beet powder completely. The travel section of most drug stores have tiny, round containers that would be perfect to hold this gloss.

1/2 cup citric acid
1/2 cup Epsom salts
