DIY Vanilla Lip Balm

     This lip balm is fast and easy to make and requires only three ingredients: coconut oil, vanilla extract, and beeswax (you could probably also use a different type of wax if you want to make it vegan).

Materials:
*Coconut oil
*Beeswax
*Vanilla extract
*Clean, empty makeup container
*Tablespoon measure
*Glass measuring cup
*Spoon

Directions:
*Combine 3 tbsp of beeswax and 5 tbsp of coconut oil in a glass measuring cup.
*Place measuring cup in the microwave and set for 2 minutes.  Every 30 seconds, take the cup out and mix it.  By the end of the 2 minutes, the wax and oil should be completely liquefied, although depending on the power of your microwave, this may or may not be the case.  If not, continue melting and mixing in 30 second increments until it is completely liquefied.
*Add a small amount of vanilla extract (I used 2 "splashes" from the rather wide necked container) to the measuring cup and mix.  The vanilla extract won't want to mix completely with the oil and wax, so it will form these little brown bubbles.  The more you mix, the smaller they'll become and the more uniformly they will be distributed.
*Pour the mixture into clean, empty makeup containers and let harden.
