Homemade Lip Gloss
CRANBERRY LIP GLOSS
1 Tbs almond oil
10 fresh cranberries
1 tsp honey
Mix together all the ingredients and place them in a mircrowave or heat resistant container. Heat in the microwave or water bath until the mixture justs begins to boil (1-2 mintues in the microwave). Stir well and gently mash the berries. Let sit for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove all pieces of cranberry. Stir and allow to cool completely.
