I was looking for a honey scrub, but found this great holiday lip gloss instead at the National Honey Board. Perfect for the season! I’m way excited to try it.

You’ll need to gather:

  1. 1 Tablespoon sweet almond oil
  2. 10 fresh cranberries
  3. 1 teaspoon honey
  4. 1 drop vitamin E oil

I’d use organic everything, if you can find it.

To make your lip gloss:

  1. Mix all your ingredients together in a bowl.
  2. Microwave for two minutes or until just boiling. If you don’t own a microwave, heat your bowl in a pan of water on the stove.
  3. Stir well and gently crush the berries.
  4. Cool your berries for five minutes. Strain with a  fine sieve until there are no fruit pieces left in your mix.
  5. Stir and set aside to cool completely.
  6. When cool, transfer into a small portable plastic container or tin.

Awesome recipe! This would also make a cool holiday gift.
