Instructions
1. Wash the glass jar and lid in hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly with a cotton towel. Set aside.
2. Wash the cranberries in warm soapy water and rinse with clear water. Place them in a glass bowl. Set aside.
3. Measure out the almond oil and honey into a small bowl, using the measuring spoons. Pierce the protective shell of the Vitamin E oil capsule with the stick pin to make a small hole in the capsule. Squeeze one drop of vitamin E oil into the almond oil and honey. Set aside.
4. Place the cranberries in a glass bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave oven. Place a paper towel over the top of the bowl. Microwave on high for two minutes or until the cranberries begin to boil.
5. Add the honey, almond oil and vitamin E oil to the cooked cranberries, using a spatula to scrape the oil mixture into the bowl. Mash the cranberries and oil mixture with a potato masher until mixed well and the cranberries are crushed and broken down into small pieces.
6. Allow the mixture to cool and marinate for five minutes.
7. Place the sieve over the top of a bowl. Scrape the cranberry mixture into the sieve with the spatula. Use the spatula to push the mixture through the mesh of the sieve into the bowl below until only the larger pieces of cranberry are left on top of the sieve. Discard the pieces of cranberry left on the top of the sieve. Reserve the mixture in the bottom bowl.
8. Stir the mixture again. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
9. Use a small spatula to transfer the mixture into the small glass jar. Place the lid on the jar and screw on tightly. Place the jar in the refrigerator until you are ready to apply the lip gloss to your lips. Apply as often as necessary.
