DIY lip colour review

These 'lipsticks' or lip colours are made using a teaspoon of virgin coconut oil and a crayon. I've heard about this quite a lot in the past and finally decided to give it a go. I had high expectations for these homemade products, due to the amount of recipes and recommendations online. However, for me, they turned out really bad. I made 4 in total therefore have quite a range in textures as they never come out the same; some are really waxy and some are really oily and melt onto the lips instantly at body temperature. None of the ones I made actually showed up much on the lips despite how lovely they look in the containers. The oily textured ones stay on for barely a minute, which is really quite useless, although they are quite effective for quick soft lips.

Luckily, my dad bought this expensive coconut oil for the purpose of healthy cooking therefore i did not waste money on this.

 I was really hoping for this colour to be similar to my rimmel kate lasting finish lipstick in 107, as that is one of my favourites. However, it took a huge amount of this to even get it to tint my lips, which was quite disappointing if I'm honest.

Best wishes,
