I make lip balm from my own personal recipe, and a lip scrub/lip butter combo set that I've tweaked from a basic recipe from WSP. But I've never made lip 'gloss'....
Brambleberry has these adorable lip gloss tubes in their new Soiree collection:

AND some interesting additions to their flavor oil line:

With the current flat-rate shipping of $7.50, I couldn't resist buying 50 lip gloss tubes, the rose gold mica, and the Flavor sampler set!
My initial thought was to create my own lip gloss base from a blend of castor oil, fractionated coconut oil (MCT), and rice bran and/or avocado oil. But then I wondered if the mica would stay suspended in this blend without having to constantly shake the tube?
I knew TKB had an extremely popular lip gloss base that obviously works with their micas (of which I have a ton), so I ordered some of that and some of their Oil Fusion to thin the base out per their recommendation.
Obviously I'm going to be doing some experimenting here, but I was curious if anyone has used the TKB stuff and your thoughts on this product. Or if anyone has used a similar blends of oils as the ones I've mentioned above for lip gloss and how they performed with micas.
Thanks!
