Place oil, beeswax and
honey in a double boiler (or heatproof bowl resting on top of a small saucepan
of simmering water). (As a side note, I picked up an extra double boiler
thrifting that I use just for beeswax crafts, which really makes cleanup
easier.) Heat gently until everything has melted.
Remove mixture from heat,
and add peppermint oil and lipstick. Stir until blended.
Place the pan or bowl in a larger bowl full of cold water. Stir quickly until the mixture begins to change in consistency (it will become thicker).

Pour mixture into
containers, place covers on, and let sit to cool and set up.
Fills approximately one
dozen 1/2 oz tins.
