Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Add the Kool-Aid.
Let the mixture cool a little bit before adding the powder, as it will dissolve better.The Kool-Aid gives the lip gloss color and flavor, so pick a color that you'll like on your lips.
Some good options are Strawberry Kiwi, Cherry, and Tropical Fruit Punch.
How much Kool-Aid you add depends on how deep a color you want.
If you want a very dark lip balm, you can divide the petroleum jelly into six smaller pots and add one packet per pot.
You may end up with grainier lip balm with this method.
For a smoother lip balm, add one to two packets of Kool-Aid to the whole bowl of of petroleum jelly.
Some people use one packet per cup of petroleum jelly.You can also add a bit of sweetener or sugar to the mix to make it taste less bitter. -
