The prettiest lip balm I ever made. With grapefruit essential oil, yummm :)
[Cel mai drăguț balsam de buze pe care l-am făcut eu până azi. Cu ulei esențial de grapefruit, mmmm...]
Really yum, but what the red came from? It's so bright and vivid, lovely! I was thinking of infusing some dried beetroot, just not sure about the smell!?
Oooh, so red from alkanet? Mine goes from light to darker pink, never red! Hmm, quite strange! I think beet root would result with really RED red! Thanks for revealing your 'secret colour'!
Hi Maja, mine's pink too, I think the photo adds a bit of contrast, but it's full pink :) Also, it doesn't color the lips. I think for that you should use mineral oxides.

ReplyDeleteHi, Maja, the color comes from alkanet root infused in olive oil. I think beetroot might work as well. It's worth trying. Thanks so much for the idea!
