Directions:
Weigh out your butters using a digital kitchen scale

Now measure out 5mL of Buttercream Cupcake flavor oil using a graduated plastic transfer pipette
and stir into your lip balm mixture. Take a pinch each of lip safe Diamond Dust mica and a pinch of orchid ultramarine pigment powder and add to your lip balm. Use more or less depending on the amount of color and shimmer desired. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Now, using a plastic pipette, fill your choice of lip balm pots with the melted lip balm mixture. I used seven 1/3oz. lip balm pots for this recipe each with approximately 2oz. by weight of lip balm. If your lip balm solidifies while you’re filling your containers, simply reheat the lip balm and continue until all the pots are filled. Tightly screw on the lip balm caps and wait for the lip balms to solidify. It won’t take long, but you can expedite the process by placing the lip balms in the refrigerator until they have hardened.
Once your lip balms have hardened, have fun with the containers! I decorated mine with Japanese Washi Tape. It makes for a super cute lip balm pot without a lot of effort. I’m a little smitten with some of the Washi Tapes available from Cute Tape.
Tadaaa you have your very own birthday cake flavoured lip balm !!
