This Week's Beauty Highlights #34: DIY Tinted Lip Balms, Boho Braids & Stress Relief Rituals

DIY Tinted Lip Balms

Create natural colored lip balms by melting organic coconut oil with organic children's wax crayons—gentle and safe for lips. Enhance with vitamin E as a preservative and an aromatic extract for scent. The result is a portable, tinted, flavored balm perfect for on-the-go use. This genius idea from Wild Beauty Child has us eager to try it ourselves.
