Lipstick 💄🧡

Mix everything in a double boiler for 10/15 min until the saffron is creating a deep colour.
Once ready pour in to your moulds or tins.
For darker colour we use beetroot powder
This recipe is great as a blush as well.

But I already have saffron stigmas for cooking so it's okay for those who have it on hand. It's better than fish scales which are used commercially.

For store brand lipsticks are $10. To $20.

Good brands are from $25. To $40.
So it's not so cheap any more. My last bottle of Spice Island saffron was $12.99.
