Put beeswax and carrier oil in jar,
and close lid. Heat the jar in a
pot of water over medium-low
heat until wax has melted.
Remove jar from pot carefully.
Stir mixture with a metal spoon.
Using a pipette, add essential oil,
1 drop at a time, until strength of
scent is to your liking. Stir in
lipstick shavings, 1 at a time,
until desired shade is achieved
and color is even throughout
Using another pipette,
transfer lip balm to containers.
Let set for 1 hour. Always fill
containers before labeling them.
Download clip-art labels, and
print with an ink-jet printer
onto water-slide decal paper.
Spray with clear-coat varnish, and let dry.
Cut out each label. Transfer

backings, about 1 minute. Slide
decals from papers and onto
clean containers. Blot excess water
with a paper towel. Let dry for 2 hours.
