With Valentine's Day just around the corner, you'll hopefully be in for a lot of kissing! Rosy Lip Tint will make your lips super soft and give them a romantic, rosy glow. Don't go on a date without it!

You will need:
1 drop of rose essence
6 tsp petroleum jelly
1/4 tsp bright red lipstick

1. Place the petroleum jelly in a microwave-safe dish.
2. Take the lipstick and use a knife to cut off a couple of shavings. You will only need a tiny bit of lipstick to make a nice rosy color.
3. Get your gloss containers ready; you'll need to work quickly in a minute. Place the petroleum jelly in the microwave and melt it down. This should take around 3 minutes, but check every 30 seconds to see if it is ready.
4. Add the lipstick shavings to the melted jelly, and mix together until the lipstick dissolves.
5. Add a drop of rose essence.
6. Pour in to the containers and leave to set.
