at your local drug store.

Directions:
-
In a measuring
cup, mix 1 oz. liquid glycerin with liquid food coloring until you have
desired color (add a drop at a time and mix to see color). You can
also add just a pinch of mica powder for a shimmery look! Fill roller
bottles about 1/3 full with this mixture. Note:
Our Liquid Bath & Body dyes are blends of D&C as well as FD&C
dyes and are not made for consumption. We recommend using liquid
food coloring in any products that go in or on the mouth! Note:
Don't use too much mica powder or it could clog the roller ball!
I have not tried this with cosmetic glitter and am not sure if glitter
would clog the ball.
-
In a seperate
cup, mix 2 oz. of your preferred veggie oil (castor, sweet almond, etc)
and add 1/4 oz. (1/2 Tbsp) Kiss Kwenchers™ Pre-Sweetened Flavor Oil (or
less according to taste). Add about 15 drops of Vitamin E oil. Mix
well. Fill roller bottles up to the bottom of the neck with this mixture.
Note: If you overfill the bottles the liquid
will overflow when you insert the roller ball! Note:
Remember, most flavor oils on the market are unsweetened, so if you use
another brand you may need to add a sweetener such as Stevia. This
recipe was written using our Kiss Kwenchers™.
-
The two
different mixtures will remain seperated in the bottle, and when you turn
it upside down the colored liquid will flow thru the clear oil and look
like a lava lamp! This is a clear gloss, the color is just for visual
effect, it does not color your lips. Note:
You can add real honey or corn syrup to the glycerin to thicken it if desired.
This recipe should make enough to fill about 9 or 10 roller bottles.
Each bottle holds 1/3 oz.
Tips:
-
Clear labels
look best on these! You can buy clear Avery labels at your local
office supply store to print on your ink jet or laser printer.
-
Be sure
to include a label on the back, or a hang tag attached to the neck of the
bottle that includes the ingredients! This is a cosmetic, so you
must list the ingredients in proper order and by their INCI name.
We have the INCI names for all of our vegetable oils & mica on our
website. Here is an example of what your ingredient list should look
like:
Ricinus
Communis (Castor) Oil, Glycerin, Flavor, Tocopherol (Vitamin E),
FD&C
Color#, Mica (&) Titanium Dioxide.
(You
should be able to get the FD&C color number off the food coloring package)
