In the comments of my homemade lipstick post, I had multiple people ask if there was an alternative to the beet
root powder since theirs didn't seem to be incorporating correctly.
And Chinese five spice is something like our garam masala — but this one has ginger, cinnamon, anise, fennel, clove and liquorice
root... this is not asked for, but
since it had a mix of spices I used it... you can go with cinnamon - clove - ginger
powder — will fit in perfectly.
