By Laura Heilman, eHow Contributor

Making your own glitter lip gloss puts a frugal spin on a glamorous product. Who doesn't want to look gorgeous and still keep some money in their pocket? With homemade glitter gloss you know that the ingredients are toxin free and cruelty free because you made it yourself. When you create your own glitter lip gloss, you are making a statement that you are someone who wants to look good and still cares about the environment. To start, you can use stuff you may have lying around the house or you can opt for a more natural gloss made with beeswax.

Tips & Warnings

If you use a recycled container for your glitter lip gloss, remove all traces of the original product. Clean and sterilize it either by boiling it or cleaning it out with rubbing alcohol. Think about going organic with the ingredients that you use for your lip gloss. Your health food store or an online herb shop will carry organic products for your lip gloss. The beeswax and shea butter gloss will have a firmer texture than the petroleum gloss.

Only use cosmetic grade beeswax. In fact, be sure that you only use cosmetic glitter and food grade products in your lip gloss.

Lip Care
Most beauty stores sell those tiny round tins or plastic containers with lids that screw on, much like the children's lip gloss come in, and you can usually buy them in bulk for just a few dollars. Using sugar-free, pre-sweetened Kool-Aid (Strawberry-Kiwi makes a nice light color, while Cherry makes a darker red) and mixing a small amount of the powder color of choice with inexpensive petroleum jelly, and you have a nice flavored lip gloss.
TIP: Mix the powder thoroughly to avoid lumps and clumps and make an even shade. These make great gifts for teenagers and young girls, and even have a great flavor!
Beets are a nice, deep, rich, dark reddish color to a dark purple, and the juice from a beet will stain for quite some time. If you want a long lasting color on your lips, mash the juice from either fresh or canned beets (the canned variety are easier to mash), and then using a cotton swab, carefully outline the shape of your lips with the beat juice and then color in the rest of your lips. This will provide long lasting color that will stay on through eating, swimming, sweating - you name it!
If the color is too dark, mixing with a little petroleum jelly will lighten the color and provide some gloss, or you can mix with melted beeswax for less gloss but a smoother, easier to apply beet lip color.
TIP: The beet juice stains very easily, so be careful not to get any outside the line of the lip, or it will be very difficult to remove this quickly.
Vitamin E capsules can provide many skin care benefits, one of which is a great lip gloss that moisturizes and protects your lips will providing a light gloss. Simply cut or poke the end of a vitamin E capsule and squeeze for the oil to come out, and apply directly with your finger or a cotton swab.
Skin Care
For a more in depth article on at home and homemade skin care remedies and beauty aids, you can read this article about At Home Homemade Skin Care. In addition to the great tips in this article, you can also try the following skin care options from your kitchen.
Ph Balance
Using an inexpensive spray bottle, add one part distilled vinegar to three parts distilled water, and shake vigorously. This works like a Ph toner and skin balancer. You can add essential oil fragrances to add to the therapeutic benefits, such as tea tree oil and lavender, both of which are antibacterial and antimicrobial and have been shown to help with acne control. Spray the mixture on your face or dab a cotton ball into the mixture and smooth evenly on the face.
Hair Care
All natural at home hair care is easier than you think. For a more in depth article specific to hair care, you can read: Natural Hair Care Products - From Your Own Kitchen!
Makeup Remover
Removing eye makeup is easy with a bit of castor oil or mineral oil and a cotton ball. Mineral oil that is unscented is very inexpensive, but particularly if you have oily skin, be sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid oil buildup. Honestly, any oil will remove non-waterproof mascara, even plain old vegetable oil, but the one oil that is recommended the most is grape seed oil. Grape seed oil is also the safest and best oil carrier for using essential oils.
Bath Soaks
Epson salts and essential oils make wonderful bath soaks. Depending on the type of therapeutic benefit you seek, you can choose just about any essential oil designed for skin contact. Be sure to read the Dangers of Essential Oils before you select an essential oil for a bath soak. Epson salts can be mixed with essential oils in the bath too.
Dried or powdered milk mixed with oatmeal and added to a warm bath, along with some essential oils for fragrance and relaxation, can provide exceptional and inexpensive dry skin treatment.
Lips
There are several lip staining items lying around your house right now. Four of the best items for staining are beets, kool-aid, Jell-o, and dark colored berries and fruit (such as raspberry, blackberry, and pomegranate). In a pinch you can mash beets and fruits or open a packet of Jell-o or Kool-aid and apply it to your lips by using a Q-tip. For an easier application, you can also mix any of the items with a small amount of petroleum jelly or olive oil. Out of all of the recommendations, using mashed beets will stain your lips the longest because it will stay in place while eating, talking, drinking, etc. Which ever item you decide to try, please remember to watch your teeth when applying it. After all, you don't want to have berry-stained teeth while at work or on a night out.
The kitchen isn't the only place you may find ideas for a new lip stain or lip gloss. One peak into your makeup collection may give you several quick ideas for a stand-in lip product. If you are in search of a gloss, then add an eyeshadow to a little dab of petroleum jelly or Vitamin E, mix together, and add to your lips. If you are in a big hurry and can't find you lipstick, then simply use your favorite blush stick on your lips, such as Clinique's Blushwear Cream Stick (Compare Prices).
Color isn't the only thing you can get from items around your home. If you don’t need a lip color, but you can't find your lip gloss or lip balm then there are easy fixes you can use at home. One of the best lip gloss/balms I have found from at-home products is Vitamin E capsules. If you have these in your home you can poke a small hole in a capsule with a needle and then squeeze a little onto your lips. It gives great moisture, shine, and it's also healthy to boot. Other items you can try in a pinch are petroleum jelly and several oils such as olive oil and grape seed oil.
Eyes
When using products around or on your eyes, you need to be careful and not irritate them. Most of us have liquid food dye, but did you know it also comes in a powder form as well? You can find them at various cooking stores and even some major craft stores. If you already have some you can grab a non-scented baby powder, add a dash of your favorite dry food coloring, and mix together until you get the color you want. You can apply this dry or you can mix a little of the powder mixture with a dab of petroleum jelly or Vitamin E, until you get a nice cream eyeshadow. Since the eyes can be such a sensitive area, I would recommend staying clear of using powdered herbs on your eyes unless you are already aware of whether the herb will not irritate your eye area.
Face
If you are fair-skinned and have ever run out of face powder, then you should have thought of grabbing the un-scented baby powder. Baby powder works wonders with many things cosmetic, and using it as a setting powder is one of them. Simply tap a small amount into your palm and then gently press it into your skin with a makeup puff. If you don't have a puff then you can use cotton balls. Once you apply it, gently buff the remaining powder away so you don't look chalky. As a side note, you can also use baby powder in your hair to absorb excess oil between shampoos.
Cheek color can also be made at home in a pinch. Remember the beets in the "Lips" section? For a quick and easy cheek color, mix a small amount of mashed beets with petroleum jelly or Vitamin E, and mix until smooth. This will work like some of the famous lip/cheek stains, such as Benefit's Benetint (Compare Prices). If you don't feel like mixing things from the kitchen, then grab a lipstick and dab a few dots on your cheeks, then blend for instant color. If you want a powder blush, simply take a small amount of baby powder, and mix it with some eyeshadow scrapings.

Adult Theater

Adult Theater

I love dressing up as Cindy and the attention that I receive when going to an adult theater. When dressing for the adult theater you dress up in something sexy that allows easy access to your tits and to your manpussy.  I have found that thigh high stockings with low cut panties, a low cut underwire bra, blouse that is low cut, blond or black wig with my five inch heels is sufficient to turn a man on. I have been to the theater a few times and now when I arrive I have men wanting me to sit next to them.  In an adult theater you many types of men who likes vary from just wanted to be jacked to an around the world oral trip.

I stand in the back of the theater in a location where a man can stand behind me. In my five inch heels I an am over six feet which attracts attention.  As men would walk past me they would pat my bottom, sometimes the pat will become a grope.  In the darkness men can do things they would never do in public.  A few men’s grope turns into a full inspection of my gurly appearance ending in a hand on my crotch, checking to see if I am packing.  If they like what they see and feel, I am asked to follow then to a seat.

I cannot remember all of the cocks I suck in one evening but the action I can.  One evening I was standing in the back when a man puts his arms around me and started to feel my breasts.  I pulled down the low cut blouse exposing my little titties.  His hands then found the nipples and started to rub them, then pinch them and ended up pulling them in such a way that my cock got hard and my knees went weak. I moan to his touch and to let him know that I was getting turned on.  A second man then started to rub my cock and with no warning he penetrated my ass with his finger.  I responded to the fingering action by gyrating my hips.  A third man then starts to kiss me, drenching my mouth with much vigor. I am in heaven with all the attention.  The man kissing me stops and with his hands on my shoulders pushes me down, bending me at the waist where I find that his cock is sticking out of his pants.  This man had a cock of destination for it was well over seven inches but most notably it was fat.  As much as I tried I could only get the tip ad about two inches of his hardness in my mouth.  Bending over at the waist and with the five inch heels, I made an inviting sight.  The man fingering my ass became two fingers and went deeper.  My manpuss has been clean for just such action.  The man fingering my hole was also jacking his cock which he rubbed on my ass cheeks.  He removed his finger then I felt a warm wetness up and down my crack.

No sooner as he finishes messing my ass, a second man slipped behind me and with one finger finding me now a straight hole he slides into me with his cock.  The feeling of a hard, hot cock to a bottom boy like me is a wonderful feeling. I lose myself in the bliss of the moment, with my nipples being fondled, a cock in mouth and now being fucked and fuck deep.  I have to rely on the men holding me steady, the banging from the rear forces me forward onto the cock I was sucking.  Every now and then I would catch the flash of a light where someone was turning on their cell phone flight light application in order to get to see some of the action.  I was surrounded by men and hard cocks. The man fucking me stops, pulls my hips back, forcing his cock to the max in my manpussy.  One, two, three squirts I felt then he cock limps quickly slips out of my not creamed hole.  The man I was sucking then moves behinds me and without fingering my ass, slides his cock up and down my ass, finding my hole and pushing pass my spinster and going deep.  Another man moves in front of me, cock out shoving it into my mouth. The action continues, the fucking forcing me forward onto the cock in my mouth causing it to slide in and out of my mouth.  In a short time the cock explodes in my mouth, flooding me with tastes that are bitter, salty and creamy.  I swallow the load as he his cock leaves my mouth.  I was lost in sexual bliss floating in a feeling of total carnal pleasure.

I am not sure how many men came in my mouth, at least four and I remember one other man fucking me.  I did reach around and felt his cock which was sheaved with a condom.  After the action, I walked into the bathroom, the men’s bathroom to freshen up.  The man’s bathroom has a stall where you can lock the door.  I entered the stall but left the door open. Two men followed me into the stall.  There is a small cabinet which I leaned over placing my arms on the counter top.  Once man raised my short skirt as the other man played with my nipples.  I felt his cock slide in easy but felt a little pain when he pushed deeper.  This guy must have had a larger cock than I had before.  He pushed in I felt pain, he pulled out I felt pleasure.  I tighten my ass around his cock with each pushed in and relax when he pulled out.  I did this maybe twenty times then he started to pull my hips back on his cock, he grunted then felt his cock jerk inside me. I knew he came.  He withdrew his cock where I found that he used a condom.  The other man pushed me on the floor, told me to get on my back.  I did as instructed.  The man unzipped his pants pushing them with his shorts down to his knees.  I remember looking up and saw a short Hispanic with an above normal sized cock that was rock hard. He got on his knees.  He moved to position himself for entry then put my legs up on his shoulder. With one thrust he entered me and was buried deep. Lay on the floor I looked out under the stall door that had a opening of 12 inches, two men were kneeling watching the action.

A little bit about me

A little about me.  I am a cross-dresser and have been for about five years.  I love everything about cross-dressing from the way woman clothing feels on my body and the attention I receive when dress.  I first started to dress because one man told me to wear pantyhose.  I slip on a pair and he slipped his cock between my legs and got very excited.  He finally pulled down my pantyhose and bent me over or his pleasure.  I realized then that some men wanted to meet a guy that wore pantyhose, or pantie or dressed in woman clothes.

My evolution from a straight heterosexual to a bisexual with a cross-dressing fetish was a long journey.  My sex life with my wife was decreasing resulting in my consent state of hornyness. I was jacking off every day in the shower to get that release. It so happen that about this time there was the invention of home computer and adult bulletin boards.  I used the computer to access the bulletin board where one could find woman wanting sex.  Over the next few years I meet many women for NSA sex. I dated one fine woman for nine months and had more sex with here in that time than with my wife for the last ten years. Affairs do not last, all women want more that what I could offer, I was not going to leave my wife so we broke up.  I had another affair that lasted seven years where we met when we could. That affair ended when I moved away.

As I turned 40, it was harder to find a willing woman which leads me to use swinging magazines to find couples that wanted to have a threesome.  At first the couples I met were straight where the wife just wanted a new dick to suck and to fuck her.  I met one couple whee the wife was trim, fit, and had a very sexy body.  During our threesome, she hopped on top of me, facing away, with her pussy over my mouth and sucking my cock.  After a few glorious minutes I felt something different.  I felt four hands and felt a mouth licking my balls and a mouth sucking my cock.  I very strange but great feeling.  I realized that the hubby was licking my balls and I had to decide if I was homophobic or not.  Well, it felt so good I just laid there and let it happen.

After that experience looked for men to suck my cock.  It was one way, then suck me, I was not interested in sucking them or even seeing their cock.  I was able to find at least one man a week to take my load.  Off and on I was still meeting women, couples and these male cocksuckers.  I started to go to adult book stores with glory holes to get sucked and to adult theaters.  All I had to do was show my hard cock and I had a guy on his knees.  Over the years I had many women suck my cock and had men to do the same.  Men are better at giving head and I started to focus on finding bisexual, and gay men suck me off. 

After three years of one way receiving fallatio from men I decided I wanted to try to give fallatio to a guy. I found a man that told me he would be patient and let me go at my own pace sucking him.  First time I made him wear a condom.  The condom tasted awful and kept him from climaxing.  The second time I tried sucking him without the condom and still he was not able to ejaculate.  He jacked off his cock for me which was the first time I saw another man shoot his load.  The third time I sucked him he came in my mouth.  I had to decide if I should spit or swallow, I swallowed and it was wonderful, I was now hooked on sucking cock.

What was a turn on for me was the fact that I made the man ejaculate.  It was my mouth on his cock sucking, licking blowing him, making my mouth like a pussy and having him use me for his pleasure.  I enjoyed the whole idea of being on my knees, giving pleasure to a man.  I now became the mouth behind the glory hole and the man sucking cock in the adult theaters. 

My search for people to have sex with lead me to found Bi couples where the hubby wanted to play with a guy while the woman watched.  When in the adult theater I did enjoy being watched by others and enjoyed it when a line formed when I was on my knees.  I met a guy that to suck his cock.  After a few times he told me he had a girlfriend who wanted to watch two men go at it.  I said sure.  He told me his girlfriend would not play, just wanted to watch.  I met the couple and the next thing I was naked with him on the bed with him making out with me.  I had never been kissed by a man before so that was something new.  I liked it.  I sucked him, he sucked me, we did 69.  Next I knew,  was on my stomach and he was on top, putting some lube between my cheeks and started to make me only.  I was not ready for this. My hold was so tight he had to use his finger to lube me well and tried me again. This time the girlfriend helped guide his cock, (larger than normal) and told me to relax, which I did allow him to get the head of his cock in my lubed ass.  I had never experienced pain like that before, it brought tears to my eyes but there was pleasure too.  After a few deep strokes, the lube was working and the pain was less.

After that afternoon  he would invite me over to his house for a beer with the pretense of watching sports.  Without me kning, he would invite another man over also.  Everything seemed normal, just a few guys watching sports until one guy would take out his cock and start jacking.  The the other guy would and both were looking at me.  My friend would say, “Get your cocksucking mouth over her now slut.” I would start off sucking one then the other.  It was not long the guest wanted something more.  He moved to behind me, slipped off my shorts and slowly penetrated my body. I was now sandwich between to men, giving oral to one and being fucked by the other.  This happened almost every weekend, I was the bottom bitch. My friend would invite a different man over each time.  My friend made me feel like a whore, he was the pimp finding Johns to use me for their please.  I could have said no but kept on accepting the invites. Besides, being a sexual sandwich was a most enjoyable feeling.

All things good does not last long.  I switched jobs, moved away to another state but continued to be a cocksucker. I remained a cocksucker for several years when I was asked to put on panty hose for a man.  That one request started me down the road of Cross-dressing providing  pleasure for men.  It was not until  a few years ago that I had my first makeup session/lesson and that Cindy really became transformed into a cross-dressing bisexual with a fetish..

I now enjoy dressing up and going out as Cindy.  I go out to the Castle Lounge a TV adult club and to the TV club Extra.  I enjoy the attention I get when at the bar and a strange man pats my butt and asks me if he can buy me a drink.  So from this long story, you now know that I like to dress, give fallatio, can be a bottom.  I will let men kiss me.  I am very submissive and seek men that are aggressive and knows what they want.  I am not interested me getting off but it is my job get the man off.  I am all for giving pleasure to the man which gives me pleasure.  I am not into real pain, piss or SCAT.
