So the girls decided we should try it. 

Recipe calls for: 
1/2 crayon (crayons works great and comes in wide variety of colors) 
1/2 teaspoon of 100%
 Shae Butter 
(We couldn't find 100% shae butter locally so we bought the type in the image below) 
Lastly, 1/2 teaspoon of Castor Oil (which we also found at grocery store)













The type of shae butter we bought also had oatmeal as an ingredient which worked for the most part but contained other ingredients and preservatives. The consistency was not quite right. 

We then tried a substitute to the shae butter by the way of 100% Cocoa Butter which we bought at our regular local grocery store and that formulation worked perfectly. 
Success!! Homemade lipstick using crayons !! Nontoxic, Fun & easy!! Try it at home with your kids or just for yourself, let us know in the comments if you liked this craft ;) Thanks for reading!
