During a girls weekend last week, my daughter Becca got it in her head that we should make homemade lipgloss.

Homemade Kiss Gloss

She wanted something fancy to share with the cousins for the holidays. So we tromped it to two craft stores and one grocery store and pulled together everything we needed to make a half dozen batches of holiday flavored lip gloss. Ca-ute, right? We grabbed a bunch of bead organizers for our lip gloss containers at JoAnn. A pack of 25 containers cost $9.99, but they were 25% off for the holiday weekend, so we actually only put out $7.50 for 25 containers. Oil based candy flavoring and a few drops of our favorite essential oils (lemon, peppermint, ginger) offered up some super rad flavors. My favorite is butter rum. The labels were created from 1 1/2″ round Avery stickers. In other news, I consoled myself through the Thanksgiving stomach flu with Netflix episodes of Sister Wives.

Inexcusable. Go put on lip gloss.
