entire container of lip gloss is you want to use the whole jar.

jelly is still clumpy, microwave it again until it's smooth and runny.

Add some scent or flavor. You can scent or flavor the petroleum jelly by adding afew drops of your favorite essential oil or extract. Try rose, almond, vanilla,

cinnamon, lavender, or another favorite.

properties, it's also great for conditioning your lips and keeping them from drying out.If you don't want to use honey, you can skip this step.
