When I first discovered tutorials on how to make lipstick out of crayons, I was intrigued.

Could something I used every day in elementary school really be the answer to finding my perfect shade?

I had nothing to lose so I gave it a shot.

Believe it or not, this really worked!

Before trying it out, I did a little research to check that that this was completely safe.

I discovered that its really cheap to make.

All I needed was a box of crayons, coconut oil and a small jar.

Thats way cheaper than my usual $23 lipstick from a department store.

From start to finish, it took about 15 minutes to whip up.

Even someone with the most basic DIY skills could do it easily.

If you want the color be to be more sheer, add a tad more oil.

If you like your lipstick to be more pigmented, use less.
