Though I am not a much make up person but my girls loved make up and always had a long list pf make up supplies to buy. Lip balm, lipstick, kajal and so on…they often asked me to do make up activities.

 So this time I had decided to let’s do some DIY make up activities. As soon as when I had said them about it, they got so excited and we had decided to do first a DIY lip balm making.

Lip balm is an essential make up supply (or toiletries) that help us prevent chopped and cracked lips. Regular application of lip balm provides proper moisterisation to your lips and prevents routine problems.

Though there are various options are available to buy readymade lip balm in market, but there are few awesome benefits to do this activity at home.

• Readymade lip balm may contain some unknown and harmful chemicals and may cause allergic reaction to your lips and surrounding skin. By using DIY lip balm we can control use of ingredients and lessen the chances of allergic reactions or other skin problems.
• Of course, it will be less expensive than market buy lip balms.
• When you learnt the proper way of making it, you can try different shades to create wide varieties of awesome lip balms.
• It is a great fun activity and I am sure kids especially girls would love to it at home.
• You can create a small online or shop business after learning these easy DIY methods.

There are different ways that can be used to make a lip balm at home. Here I am sharing two easiest ways that even smaller kids can enjoy this activity.
