DIY lipbalm: an attempt

I always fail in DIYs, and this post is about another failing DIY by me. If you are mistakenly or purposely put lipgloss in the search bar on youtube, the list of result would be like this :

~lipgloss dance
~remix version of lipgloss
and lastly homemade lipgloss..

From some of the homemade lipgloss/lipbalm videos, these ingredients below are mentioned :

1. vaseline ( can get it from Watson, Guardian, etc. )
2. castor oil ( whattamash? seriously, where can i get this one? What else, i googled, and i found out that this oil can be found at your nearest kedai runcit india).
3. for colourings : your no longer used lipstick or multipurpose pigments.
4. food flavouring
   

My version of ingredients.

1. Mix 1/4 teaspoon of vaseline and lipstick chunk ( well, its not as big as a chunk, more like a sliced piece of the lipstick).
2. Melt this two together and mix.
3. Put 2 to 3 drops of food flavoring into the mixture.
4. Pour the mixture into a container. Leave for about 10 minutes to cool.
5. Store in in the refrigerator.

Ended up being a chunky and oily lipbalm. The vaseline and food flavoring do not mixed well. The bad part : a bitter taste comes from the flavoring effect. The good part : smells nice. I should do further research on this, as i don't have the guts to put it on my lips again. Better luck next time. Below is a video made by enkoremakeup on how to make your won lip gloss. Enjoy.
