Soy candles or Lip balms?

Hi people!! How are you?? Just finished to make my new soap!!! I'm very satisfied on my work,the soap looks good and smells soooo fresh.
I used a clear soap base and a FRESHLY CUT GRASS divine fragrance oil;then I casted into the soap some leaves of rosmary and laurel. Smell this soap is like take a walk in the park at sunday morning. Great work Bella ^___^

Now I have to talk about something else. I'm thinking about adding some new prodcts to my shop,but I already can't decide!!
I'd really like to try something new like soay candles/tarts; I'd like t make some soay candles in apothecary jars like this:

They are so colorful and cute that I spend hours looking at them in shops and on the internet =)

The other thing I'd like to start making are lip balms; I tought something like little jars or tins,with colorful labels!

What do you think? Can you dear readers help me with my decision???
Thank's for your help, have a nice day,
Bella <3

How to make you own lip balm


There are many kinds of lip balms you can find for sale in the shops,but no one will ever be like the one you make YOURSELF at home with the natural ingredients you like and you know you need =)

I've collected many recipes and do my lip balms at home every time I need them!
Here I'll try to explane this easy technique and the ingredients you'll have to buy.

FLAVOURED MOSTURIZING LIP BALM
Ingredients:
- Beeswax 1/3
- Honey 1/3 (super mosturizing and glossy)
- Shea butter 1/3 (the best for skin and lip problems)
- 3 drops of your favourite edibles flavour or essential oil (you can try Sweet orange essential oil 3 drops + 3 drops of vanilla extract, yes, the one you use for cakes ^^).
Melt beeswax and shea butter together in a little pot on the cooker. Stop the fire and add the honey. Mix,mix,mix...now add the drops of the essential oil/flavoured oil you want.
Put all in a little jar and let it become cold. You'll see in a few minutes it will start to harden.
Wait something like 24 hours and you'll have your super costumized lip balm!!
You don't need to add preservatives because honey,beeswax and shea butters are not attackable for bacteria.
If you want a light preservative wich is also an excellent mosturizing agent use VITAMIN E in drops!!! Nothing's better for your skin! <3
Enjoy and let me know what you think about the tutorial! I'm waiting for your comments and recipes =)
