This past weekend, we had the incredible opportunity to share our passion for beauty and empowerment through a homemade lip gloss workshop with the City of Birmingham Economic Development and The Margaret. It was more than just a beauty session—it was a chance to connect, inspire, and showcase the heart behind GLAAM Cosmetics.
Why We Do What We Do
At GLAAM Cosmetics, we believe that makeup is more than just a product—it’s a statement of confidence, self-expression, and resilience. As we guided attendees through the process of creating their own custom lip gloss, we also shared the powerful story behind GLAAM Cosmetics—our mission to empower women on the go and women of restoration (domestic violence survivors) through high-quality, long-lasting beauty products.
The Simple Beauty of Homemade Lip Gloss
With just a few key ingredients, we showed how easy it is to make your own nourishing, glossy lip formula at home. Here’s a quick breakdown of what we used:
Ingredients:
✔️ Castor Oil & Coconut Oil – For deep hydration and shine
✔️ Beeswax or Vegan Wax – To create the perfect smooth consistency
✔️ Mica Powder or Pigment – To add a pop of color
✔️ Essential Oils (Peppermint, Vanilla, etc.) – For a touch of luxury
✔️ Lip Gloss Tubes – To package your custom creation
The Process:
1️⃣ Melt the wax and oils together for a silky base.
2️⃣ Mix in mica powder or pigments for color.
3️⃣ Add a few drops of essential oils for scent.
4️⃣ Pour into lip gloss tubes and let them cool.
💋 And just like that, you have your very own homemade lip gloss!
Keeping the Conversation Going
As we crafted glosses together, we sparked meaningful conversations about beauty, confidence, and why GLAAM Cosmetics exists. Our brand is about more than just products—it’s about creating a community of women who uplift and empower one another. Seeing the excitement on the ladies’ faces as they made their own lip glosses was a full-circle moment that reminded us why we do what we do.
Beauty is power, and when women come together, magic happens. ✨
