Is this a good Lip Gloss Recipe?

Question

I found this recipe for a home made lip gloss on http://free-beauty-tips.glam.com/homelipgloss.html

I was wondering if this is a good idea or not, and if it is okay to use and actually yields good results. Is it a waste of time and ingredients, or is it an actual way to make your own lip gloss? I was not planning to do it, I was just wondering if other people have done it and if it worked okay or not.

Fruity Lip Gloss

Ingredients:

2 Tbs solid shortening

1 Tbs fruit-flavored powdered drink mix

35 mm film container

Mix shortening & drink mix together in a microwave safe bowl till smooth!

Place in microwave on high for 30 seconds until mix becomes a liquid!

Pour into clean (wash thoroughly before use) film container, or any other small airtight container!

Place mix into fridge for 20-30 minutes or till firm!

Answer 1

I wouldn't go through the trouble of making that when you could buy perfectly good lipgloss @ the store or even at a department store where you can get quality brands like lancome juicy tubes, or chanel.

Answer 2

Don't be cheap.

Get like two bucks, and go to walmart.

Answer 3

No.  That is disgusting and will make a huge mess.  Shortening is fatty and oily and will not stay on your lips.  The Kool-Aid you mix it with will stain your skin when it bleeds around your mouth, and it will stain your clothes too.  Just buy lipgloss in the store.

Answer 4

yes but a cheap mix

Answer 5

I have heard of this before, so it seems legit.  

Answer 6

That is disgusting, every time you l**k your lips it will be like you stuck your tongue in a can of Crisco!!! SICK! Go get E.L.F. lipgloss for $1... that's cheaper than shortening!!!

Answer 7

but it seems cool! :D
