Lip gloss

- Place about half a package of jello mix (such as Kool-Aid) or powdered juice mix into a mixing bowl.
- Add a few drops of water (about 5 to 7 drops for a liquid consistency). Only add 2 to 3 drops if you want the texture to be more solid.

- If you want a lot of lip gloss, add more Vaseline and more of the jello/juice mix.
- Transfer to a small container. It's now ready for use.
Lip gloss from old eyeshadow
- Place a little Vaseline (about a spoonful) into a container.
- Scrape in eyeshadow that you've finished using. A little will go a long way to add color, so you don't need much.
- Mix really well using a toothpick or Q-tip. It must be thoroughly combined.
- Transfer to a small container. It's now ready for use.
Cool body mist
- Pour your favorite body lotion to a spray bottle. Fill it to about quarter of the way.
- Fill the remainder of the bottle with distilled water.
- Spray. The resulting spray will be scented with the lotion and will leave a soft film on your skin. You can rub this in or leave it to soak in.
Tips
- Apply in the right amount. Like regular make-up, too much can make you seem like you try too hard.
- You can also use strawberry or Kool-Aid as blush.
- You can also use vanilla hot chocolate for your face.
- You can also use the cocoa mix for your face, and vanilla for your eyes, or vice versa.
- If you're looking for a nude shade, then use a peach color for your lips.
Warnings
- Make sure that none of the cocoa or vanilla mix gets in your eyes.
