Cocoa Lip Gloss

Put desired amount of petroleum jelly into a small glass bowl. Put it in a microwave for 30 seconds; take it out and stir. Continue doing this until the jelly is melted. Add the desired amount of cocoa powder, (experiment!) Stir well. Microwave for 30 more seconds and stir. Set it aside to cool.

Once it is cool enough to handle, spoon it into a small container (recycle old makeup containers or 35 mm film containers, or look in stores that carry beads, crafts, or fishing tackle). Set it aside until the petroleum jelly gets firm, then it is ready to use!

Tip: You can also use this recipe to make fruit lip gloss by using powdered juice mix instead of cocoa.
