I don’t see why there are people on here acting like recycling lipstick is a bad idea or an odd thing to consider. Why not use up all the lipstick there is and feel good about not wasting any of it? Why not have fun making your own lipstick? I find these things enjoyable. I am always using up products I don’t care for by mixing them with other things so that I don’t just trash them and feel guilty buying something new. I love buying new things of course, but it isn’t realistic to go buy a new lippie every time you don’t LOVE the one you last bought for whatever reason. I would have way too many going in the trash and be spending way too much money. I think as long as you are using a container that is safe for the microwave, you are using a lippie that is still good (which is common sense–we aren’t children trying to make a new lippie out of spoiled old lipstick–we can tell if it has gone bad), and you are doing it the easy way (who tries to mold a melted lippie back into a lipstick shape without a kit?), then why the heck not? Otherwise, send me the money so I can go buy a new lippie or two since you think this is such a weird thing to do. And makeup of any sort is fun, why would you (certain people on here) say that we shouldn’t wear lipstick? It can look as natural as we want it to (lick your lips, shake your hips, balogna) LOL! Sorry if I sound aggitated, just got on a rampage reading all the silly comments people were leaving when obviously the main conversation piece is ‘How to make your own lippie out of old lipsticks and be successful?’. I think it is a great idea and I want to try it!!

Someone has made a lipstick mold. I saw it on Shark Tank (it’s a show about inventors). I’m trying to find it now. I just can’t remember the name of it.

I am watching Shark Tank and a deal was just struk with the shark pannelists and an inventor to market and sell a do it yourself lipstick recycle mold that works with heat! Now you can recycle your old lipsticks. I just read the pattent on line, and it is great.

I have mixed old lipsticks with lip balm and nuked it and then funneled it back into the lipbalm tube. Makes it easy to use either swiping on or you can use a lip brush to apply. Trying to mold it to form a stick and reinsert into a traditional lipstick tube would be pointless, but I find the lipbalm tube is easier to transport and use than a pot and I love that the lipbal has sunscreen in it too!

Lmao at the responder that told us to lick our lips and
shake our hips. I like the pallet idea sans microwave.
