Has anyone ever made lip gloss this way?

Question

Melt petroleum jelly/vaseline and add drops of peppermint oil. Then pour it into containers, let cool, and seal.

I mean, can you melt vaseline and then it'll cool and be back to the same base?

Also, what would the shelf life of this be??

Answer 1

i have made it with shortening:

melt shortening in the microwave until liquid, then mix it with some koolaid and put it in the freezer.  

Answer 2

..yeah i tried the petroleum jelly part..microwave it to melt...yep it will be the same base or form...

Answer 3

No .....! lol

Answer 4

The only shelf life this stuff should have is: in your refrigerator!  I took my prettinesses with me in the car and was just too melty.  I used shortening and refrigerated the goods.  To color your lip gloss, you can use a little bit of a favorite or old lipstick, too.  Petroleum jelly may have different results, but even with the addition of peppermint, won't it taste nasty?
