Has anyone ever posted a way to make lipstick from the leftover bits left in the bottom of the tube? I seem to remember (from the distant past), that you could melt down these bits and repackage it, having new lipstick-—usually creating a brand new color. If anyone has any input on this, I would appreciate it.

Yes, I too remember about scraping it out and ?

If one wanted, why not make a chapstick type and use it for coloring, a little beeswax and a good oil, should make a good lip gloss.

Let me see if I can find a list of links that I saw a couple days ago, from my ‘wanta be a soapmaker ‘ days for it would have the info on it, it had wonderful links listed, a step back in time.

What a coinkydinky ..LOL .. I just saw
this on the Shark Tank site

Looks doable. I reuse the leftovers
in cleaned out little makeup/cream
jars and melted a bit in micro and then
used and it’s lasted a long time, either
with a lipstick brush or lipstick pencil
dipped in.

I didn’t freeze, which this method does,
but I will try that next time.
