For a deliciously kissable (and practically edible) kisser, check out this yummy recipe for homemade cranberry lip gloss by Cosmetics Diary.

It's loaded with natural emollients and anti-oxidants and it's good enough to eat!
(sans the optional non-petroleum jelly)

Homemade Cranberry Lip Gloss

10 fresh cranberries

1 tbsp almond oil
1 tsp plain (soy) yogurt
1 tsp honey - can be replaced with agave or maple syrup
1 tsp non-petroleum jelly like this one
(optional for shine)

Mix everything in a microwavable or heat-resistant container. Heat in a microwave or water bath until the mixture begins to boil (1-2 minutes in microwave).

Stir well and gently mash the berries and let sit for five minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove all the cranberry pieces. Stir and allow to cool completely. Spoon into a clean container.

To use, just spread on lips and pucker up!

I soooooooo love this look!

It's never occurred to me to ask whether or not my makeup is vegan. Cruelty-free yes, but vegan? Nah...

Lo and behold! Urban Decay has always been one of my favorites and they have an entire line of vegan products. Look for Marley's seal of approval: the purple paw. (how cute is that?) They even have a printable shopping list on their website.

Excuses = gone.
