Reddit reviews Stakich Pure White Beeswax Pellets, All Natural, Cosmetic Grade, Premium Quality (1 Pound)

So I was snap chatting my sister this lip color, and thought it would be a good opportunity to show you guys! Please excuse my (faded) makeup from today, it's almost time for bed :-)

I was so so excited to receive my Blackbird order a few days ago, I immediately made some lipsticks out of supplies I've had in my pantry for this occasion. I wanted to make a grayish pink, and ended up with this awesome gray that I love!

I used a tablespoon of coconut oil, cocoa butter, and beeswax pellets until I got the consistency and amount I wanted. I ordered the pellets and butter on Amazon, and the coconut oil at my grocery store.

The shadows I used were a bit of Fiction, Immortals, Lucid, Smudge, and some Imogen. I used a clean plastic fork to put the shadows in the bowl, so I don't know the exact amounts. Never done this before, and I got a lot of stuff in my order so I kind of went ham on making this.

The color is a bit sheer for my taste, but I probably messed up the recipe. I like to top it off with some loose Fiction powder. It lasted a long time as I went for a long walk in the cold, and then drank tea for a few hours. I went to touch up and really didn't need to! I love this color, but let me know what you think!

Where else... Amazon!

That's a bit of a tall order :)
Just give them a little wax along with the bowl. Tell them if it ever starts looking dull to just wipe some on.

You can buy butcher block oil for $12 or make your own.

Cheap, effective, edible finish:

1. Go to the drug store. Buy two $3 bottles of mineral oil. You will find it near the laxatives.
   
   
2. Go to the craft store or Amazon. Buy a bag of bees wax chips or a brick. Yellow or white - doesn't matter.

3. Pour first bottle of mineral oil into a small cooking pot. Heat up the mineral oil on low heat - many people use a double boiler but my stove goes super low so I am not as worried. Drop a few chunks of the wax in to see if it starts melting - that's the temperature you want. Stir wax in.
   The ratio is usually 50/50 but I also make a higher wax content version as well to make it more like a polish.
   
   Don't let it get too hot. Take it off the stove if needed.
   
   
4. Pour the mix into a clean jar (or many clean jars for gifts).
   
   Use the other bottle to do a first flood coat. Then After letting the wood absorb some mineral oil, just wipe of your home made finish on and wipe off a few mins later. This also works great on the lathe allowing you to buff the wax.
