quick lip gloss question.

[astraluna.livejournal.com]

I'd like to make my own vegan lip gloss, but many of the recipes call for beeswax. I know candelilia wax can be used, and is vegan... but can I substitute it? Like if a recipe calls for beeswax, can I substitute the same amount of candelilia wax, or will that somehow make it so it doesn't turn out?
