DIY: Recycled Lip Palette

So, any of you guys ever had the problem of having you favourite lipstick ruined? What about when your lipsticks are finished and you wished you could use the remaining product?

I love to buy MAC lipsticks, and living with nieces my lipsticks are always getting ruined. The younger ones usually tend to destroy all the pink coloured ones, and the older niece just finishes them even before I have a chance to use them.g

I'm going to show you guys how to recycle a old pallets and lipsticks.

This is what the end product will look like. It can be applied with a lip brush.

What you need

Lipsticks, Palette, Spoon, Knife, Lighter and some toothpicks.

What to do?

So my MAC Wonder Women palette was hardly used and to be honest I doubt I would be using these colours any time soon. I decided to remove the eye shadow from the palette.

I simply used a small knife to scoop it off.

I tipped the loose shadow on to some foil. At this point my camera died so I had to use my phone camera, so I apologise now for the low quality pictures.

Simply folded the foil over

And sealed the product in. If you do use a palette that still contains product. You could save it, adding rubbing alcohol will press the product into another palette.

Once the palette is washed and clean you can move on to lipsticks.

Colours: HARE Lipstick, MAC Crosswires, MAC Viva glam Gaga, MAC Satin

So I had 3 MAC lipsticks 2 were finished, 1 was just destroyed. The others a Green coloured lipstick but changes colour on you lips. Depending on your natural lip colour it can come out light pink to dark pink, almost a pinky purple.

So if your using a new lipstick or 1 that's not entirely finished You can just use a knife to cut it off. If its a finished lipstick, Use a toothpick to scoop it out.

I Worked out half the lipstick (if its full) is all you need for the small dish in the palette

Place it over a lighter and it should start melting. Just make sure not to hold the spoon too close to the spoon, you don't want the product boiling and burning.
