DIY : Cheap lipstick palette

Heyy darrrrrlyns!
I know it's been forever, no excuses!
I kinda "holiday-ed" too much and got extra extra lazy! X_X

Today's DIY (Do it Yourself) post is a fun one and way cool if you're 
1. On a budget
2. Not in love with flamed deporting of lipsticks (like me)
3. Looking to stop carrying bulky stuff around

On a budget...
This is like the cheapest way to have your best of lipsticks in one place. Cost of this home made palette is approximately 300-500 naira. Getting a MAC empty palette or the Z Palette with the inserts would cost waaaaay more than. 

Not in love with flamed deporting...
So there are like other methods of deporting where you actually have to melt the lipsticks over direct flame. I just feel like after that direct heat, something goes wrong. 

Looking to stop carrying bulky stuff...
Fun how 21 or more of your favourite lipsticks are together. Just a hand away!  

All you need 

1. A pill box (found in standard pharmacies) 
2. A hand dryer
3. A cosmetic spatula ( well, i used a table knife)
4. Sanitizer wipe (you could use any non toxic cleaning agent)
5. A flat mixing palette ( I sha used a film... The point is, use a non messy surface that would not absorb your lipstick)
6. And your lipstick. 

Here's how...

Disinfect all you'll use 

Mac "Cyndi", Beauty UK "Sunset" and Avon "totally kissable". 

Choose lipsticks to be deported
Roll lipstick all the way and cut 3/4 way

 Crush evenly

Carefully transfer to pill box 

Spread evenly in box

Clean any mess

Turn dryer on to low heat and hold on to the lipstick. 


After 2mins ( or more depending on the  lipstick) your lipstick should look like this


Leave to cool and YEEEEEPS! You're done :)

You might want to peel off the name from the lipstick and stick on your palette for easy reference. 
Ces finis!
 

Repeat till you get all you want



This post will be updated after I fill all the empties. 
Here's Hoping this was helpful to you!

And oh! Sorry about the poor photos, y'all sha get the drill *wink

Mwah!
Bemi.

    1. Try Healthplus. I'm very certain about the Ikeja mall branch, spotted even bigger ones, way smaller ones and other patterns :)
