Perfect For My Lip Jelly Balms
I got these to use for personal use lip balms I was making. I ended up deciding to list them on Etsy since I had to bulk buy the jars and tubes I wanted. The colours are great! They give a good variety and can be as sheer or opaque as you want depending on how much you add. I love that these are listed as being lip safe, where as a lot of other pigments are labeled as cosmetic grade, but don't specify if they are lip safe. I was told a while ago that even cosmetic grade pigments can be bad to put on your lips, depending on the pigments, and should be clearly marked as lip safe. These were when I bought them, so I'm assuming they still are.. I do wish there was a red pigment in the bundle, but this is a perfect starting point overall. The glitter/shimmer micas do require quite a bit to get to show up very well, but that's not that big of a deal to me. I'm very picky about what I put on my lips, as most chapsticks and balms are designed to dry your lips out and keep you using them. I already knew exactly what worked for me and had a formula for my own lip balms that actually hydrates without any of the other unnecessary ingredients. Sometimes I found myself wishing I had a tint and scents, so I got these pigments and a set of candy flavour oils. My family and I loved them so much that I decided to keep making them! Overall I would recommend these as a starter set of pigments if you're making your own balms, glosses, or other lip products! Read more
