Even if we don't eat 2 pounds a lifetime! [SEP] I paid $24.99 for the 4 cavity 3 way lipstick mold and a few days later it jumped to $59, possibly different sellers I don't know, but it was good timing on my part.<br />Considering I have read we might consume more than 2 pounds of unhealthy lipsticks per lifetime it might have been worth the higher $59 price to be able to use any recipe for lipstick or chapstick I want, when I want it, not to mention any color in the world.<br />After finding and deciding to purchase this mold a few days later I purchased lipstck tubes, tiny measuring spoons and spatulas, the best butters from across the world (thank you Amazon), oxides and pigments from Amazon.<br />Because the orders arrived so quickly and wrapped so securely, it didn't give me much time to research lipstick and color recipes to tweak and make my own, so I haven't yet opened my new mold. I continued to search and learn about high gloss, matt's, waterproof and plumping, supple and antiaging recipes and I am now ready to give this a try.<br />It all looks pretty basic, even cleaning the mold.<br />Right now I have my favorite (not necessarily healthy) Chapstick in every room, all vehicles, and in my purse for constant dry, hot, freezing, desert weather protection and I can't wait to replace them with my own tints, and colored lipsticks.
