6 Sciencey Beauty Kits Every Girl Needs

If you’re the kind of girl who constantly needs to upgrade to a bigger make-up bag or loves tinkering and experimenting in science class (or maybe you love BOTH), it’s time to give making your own makeup/beauty products a try!

All your favorite brands will still be there when you need them, but creating your own products means that you get to control the colors, scents, and most importantly – the ingredients that go into your cosmetics. Sometimes make-up is filled with lots of yucky stuff that’s bad for your body and bad for the environment, so making your own definitely has it’s advantages. Channel your inner chemist and try these awesome science inspired beauty kits!

6 Sciencey Beauty Kits Every Girl Needs:

Project Mc2 Lip Balm Lab:
Since creating make-up is pretty much a prettier version of doing a science experiment (You can even get a job as a cosmetic chemist! Talk about #jobgoals), it’s obvious as to why Project Mc2 would be all over the DIY cosmetics. This Lip Balm Lab gives you everything you need in order to create 5 flavorful lip balms, ranging from Oh So Citrus to Cool Coconut. As you dive into this project you’ll get an idea of what the science behind beauty products is like. Brag about this one to your science teacher when you’re done, and maybe you’ll even get extra credit!

 

Wild Science Bath Bomb Factory:
A great beauty regimen doesn’t just include the stuff that goes on your face. It includes moisturizers, hair products, and even your shampoo and conditioner as well. This Bath Bomb kit from Wild Science lets you create your own scented bath bombs without needing to beg your parents to drive you to the mall so you can make a stop at Lush. Plus, making your own bath bombs will make you appreciate how much time and effort go into making them the next time you do buy one. Just don’t forget to wear your safety goggles!

Kiss Naturals Hair Chalk Making Kit:
This hair chalk making kit gives you everything you need in order to create your own colorful hair chalk.
