If you want to send your friend a secret message and doesn't want anyone to read it then writing it with an invisible ink will do the trick. Well, the ink itself is not invisible, but after writing with it, it becomes invisible. To make your disappearing ink you will need few chemicals. First you will need to put 1/10g of thymolphthalein in 2 tbsp of rubbing alcohol. Then, add approx 90 ml of water to it and stir. Once you get a little thick solution add approx. 20 drops of sodium hydroxide. Once you've done this the solution will turn into a dark blue colored solution. And here is your disappearing ink ready! To test your solution take a cotton fabric and write anything on it with your disappearing ink. After sometime you will see that the ink is disappearing. To read the message again, apply a cotton dabbed ammonia over the message and it will reappear. Writing on a paper will take more time for it to disappear than writing on fabric.

For this you will need a lipstick (best if it is empty) and paper. You need to cut a rectangle of dimensions 10 inches long and approx. 1 inch wide. Write your secret message on it and coil it. Insert it into the lipstick and you can now smuggle your ordinary looking lipstick with the secret message.
