Cloth Pads Series Idea

Hi Girls,

I started making some of my own cloth pads about 1 and a half months ago. I am thinking of starting a Cloth Pads video series on my Youtube channel and also some posts on here. I hope that the posts will inform you about Cloth Pads and maybe Menstrual Cups as well.

Here is a list of my ideas for either posts, videos or possibly even both.
- An Introduction to Cloth Pads (all about them and stuff)
- My Cloth Pad Stash (made by me, since they are the only ones I have)
- What you need to consider when purchasing?
- Cloth vs. Disposable Absorbency Test
- Cloth vs. Disposable pros and cons
- How to make Cloth Pads
- Using Cloth Pads at school
- Using Cloth Pads at sleepovers
- Talking to friends about cloth pads
- Puberty Kit (using cloth and other reusable products)

If you have any other ideas, just let me know. You can comment on here, my channel, via email (kiwigirlhelp@gmail.com) or on LibraGirl.

Thanks,

Period Kit for a Friend

Here is a period kit for a friend who has just got her first period and doesn't want to tell her mum.
First of all, tell her that the best thing to do is to let her mum know or at least ask her mum to buy some pads for when she needs them. Also, just remember you don't have to give her anything but it's very nice of you to give her some stuff.
You shouldn't have to give her a whole lot of stuff, just enough to last 2 or 3 days which should give her enough time to gain the courage to talk to her mum.

Here is a list of things you should think about (I stated that somethings were optional but everything on the list is optional)

- Regular Pads (I would suggest about 8 pads and possibly in a variety of different kinds so that she can find out what ones she likes best.)
- Overnight Pads (I would suggest 1 or 2 overnight pads which should be plenty since her flow probably isn't very heavy.)
- Sanitary Bags (these are optional but may be helpful if she doesn't want her mum to know)
- Wipes (these are also optional but you can include them if you would like to)
- Liners (optional, but they may be helpful during the last days of her period or if she experiences spotting between now and her next period)
- Tampons (these may be useful if she goes swimming or something because if she doesn't want to tell her mum then she kind of has to if she doesn't have any tampons and goes swimming)
- Information Booklets (Tampon instruction booklets or information booklets on periods may also be useful for her)

Hope this helps,
Thanks,

School Attitudes

The other day after my friend said "I wish I liked school like you do" and it got me thinking. How can you make yourself be more interested in school and how you can like it more?
The biggest change is probably going to be your attitude, if you have a negative attitude towards school, are you going to like it? Probably not. So why not change that negative attitude into a positive attitude like mine?

I like school because I love to learn and absorb as many facts as I can. Kind of like a sponge.
Anyway, for those of you out there who hate school...
Ask yourself why you hate school, and don't say it's boring because it isn't exactly a proper reason. Maybe it's only boring because you aren't paying attention, or because you aren't actually giving it your all, or you could just be making it boring for yourself by saying it is boring. Why can't you change that, when you could be making it interesting! Use coloured pens and make your notes as colourful as you would like. Highlight important things and add a layer of brightness to help make it more interesting for you. Not into bright colours? You can use colours you are comfortable with even if it is only 2 or 3 and make them into some sort of colour scheme to help keep your notes organised, which will make it easier for you to study.

If you don't like school because you are being bullied or something similar then sort the bullying out and make school more enjoyable. If you are having trouble with bullying, email me (Kiwigirlhelp@gmail.com) and I will try to help you out to the best of my ability.The best thing though is to let people know by telling a trusted adult or a friend who isn't involved. I would suggest doing something you love to help express the emotions you are experiencing (I think music and writing are great ways).

If you don't like school for another reason, let me know what it is in the comments section and I will see if I can help you change your attitude.

AMPS (Alternative Menstrual Products)

Hi Girls,
I remember finding a tutorial for cloth pads when I was younger (11-12) and I found it by looking for crafts and I rediscovered them last year but it wasn't until now that I've really considered trying them out.
I have sewn some of my own so look out for a stash and I might also do a video on making cloth pads so keep an eye out for them.

I might also be doing a series on cloth pads such as pros and cons, fabrics, absorbencies etc.

Anyway,
Please request videos!
Thanks

The Crushin' on ______ Tag

So, I wanted to create my own tag that kind of fits in with my channel so since I had a boys theme/topic a while ago I thought that this would nicely in with my channel so let's get started. I will hopefully make a video soon but for now it's just the questions and answers. I will also include the full list of Questions at the end. This is a tag with 18 questions and I tag all of you. If you do this tag share your video or just answer the questions in the comment section. It would mean so much to me. Thanks!

First Crush Section
1. How old were you when you had your first crush? I was really young, I think I would been around 6 or 7 but it wasn't a serious crush just a little kid one, My first what I would call actual crush was when I was 11.
2. Did your first crush know you liked him? My first actual crush (11) found out I liked him about 4 or so months after I started crushing on him.
3. If yes; How did they find out? He found out because I kept asking to dance with him at our school dance so I thought I would just admit it.
4. Did they like you back? No, he didn't like me back but we were kind of friends so it was all good.
5. Do you still know the person? He goes to a different school but we sometimes keep in touch via email so yeah.

Random Section
1. How many crushes have you had? I have had 5 actual crushes since I was 11 (I am now 14)
2. How many of those crushes have ever liked you back? None, well, at least I'm pretty sure none of them have ever liked me back.
3. Looking back, where any of them horrible to you? Yeah, the boy I liked last year hated me and he was really nasty at times but I got over him pretty soon.
4. Do you wish that you never liked any of them? Yeah, I wish I didn't like the boy I liked last year.
5. Did any of your crushes ever turn into anything more than a crush? No but I don't really mind, it just means I haven't found the right boy yet.
6. If you have had multiple crushes why did you stop liking the previous boys? Well, most of them ended up going to a different school or I kind of just grew apart from them.
7. What traits do you look for in a boy? A kind personality and someone that can make me laugh. Someone that brings out the best in me and makes me smile.

Current Crush
1. Does your current crush know that you like him? No, I haven't told anyone who I currently like so I'm pretty sure he has no idea.
2. Do you know if he likes you back? No, I don't know... yet. I am on the lookout for signs and hopefully when I tell my bestie she will be able to help out too.
3. Are you friends? Yes we are friends... I guess. I mean he is in one of my groups of friends but I think we could be a bit closer than we currently are.
4. What do you like about them? He is really nice, and he makes me laugh/smile. He also has some similar interests to me so I think we get along quite well together.
5. How did you meet them? He's in my class at school and I kinda of just met him I guess. ?
6. Best Moment with your current crush? Well, he was away for the first couple of lessons in one of our optional classes so I got to help him with the stuff we had learnt while he was away which meant I got to sit next to him and I will probably end up sitting next to him most times in that class since he is a bit behind and I like to help people as you girls know.

#HolidayBoredomBusters - 3

I now have another Boredom Busting activities for you to do these holidays.

Idea #10 - Movie Marathon

Now this is probably my best idea as I have a lot of ideas for this idea and today I am sharing one of my theme ideas with you to really jazz up your amazing movie marathon.

The first theme idea is fabulous if the weather where you live these Chilly winter school holidays isn't so chilly and you don't see snow often because this theme will totally transform your lounge into a Winter Wonderland.

1. Don't forget to invite your friends with some super cute snowflake invitations. I will hopefully get a tutorial up shortly after this is posted so that way you can see how I made mine. I think that wearing pajamas would totally add to the winter wonderland theme.

2. Decorate! I am planning on doing another post on Redecorating your room for a not so Snowy New Zealand Winter so keep an eye out on that for decoration ideas.

3. Catering! Don't forget the cute foods. The possibilities for food are endless and all you need is a great imagination.
My catering ideas are
- If the weather is cold outside go with Hot Chocolates to drink (you could even make some fancy hot chocolate stir stick things, I came across them the other day on google and they look cute so why not try making some)
- If the weather outside is hot then make Iced Chocolates instead of Hot chocolates to help keep you cool on the hot day.
- Snowmen Cupcakes (Regular Cupcakes, iced with white icing, sprinkled with coconut and then use marshmallows and any other things you can find to make cute little snowmen to sit on top of the cakes)
- Make cake pops dunked in white chocolate and coconut to resemble snowballs
- You could also try making some snowflake shaped biscuits or snowflake shaped anything.
- What about? Penguin shaped foods! Penguin shaped biscuits or anything penguin shaped.
- What other shapes could you use? You could make snowy owls or tree shaped biscuits or something and use icing sugar to dust on the tops to look like snow.


4. Movies! Find a bunch of wintery movies. I would suggest Frozen and Cloud 9 but you could totally watch any movies you wish.

Hope these ideas help you to host a Winter Wonderland themed movie marathon.

Thanks,
KiwiGirlHelp

#HolidayBoredomBusters - 2

I hope you liked my last Boredom Busters and now I'm coming back with some more and I hope you like these ones just as much.

Idea # 5 - Have a Fun Competition with Friends

Spend a morning or afternoon with your friends having a bit of friendly competition. Why not try a Bake Off, a Cook Off, a Loom Off, a Craft off or any other kind of competition. Have your parents and/or siblings judge the creations. It could be judged on a bunch of things, such as best tasting, best looking, who can make the most _______ in ____ minutes. The sky's the limit, just see what you can come up with. You could also have a small prize to add some extra enthusiasm between you and your friends. 

Idea #6 - Go Shopping with Friends

Here's a simple activity to cure boredom. Just Go Shopping with your Friends. Something fun to do is to go into your fave store and try on whatever you like and overall just have fun. 

Idea # 7 - Youtube-a-thon

Another Super Simple idea for a cold winters day. Snuggle up inside with blankets and cushions and just watch Youtube videos from your fave Youtubers!

Idea #8 -Try out a new Hobby

Trying a new hobby may be a great idea to keep you busy in the Holidays, if you haven't already discovered Looming (Rainbow Loom etc.) I would suggest you give it a try. I got mine for my 14th Birthday which was like 3 weeks ago and it didn't take very long to pick up skills to make some more challenging bracelets and charms. It is really fun and can be cheap if you get one of the cheaper looms and you can also buy the bands for quite cheap too! You could also try to learn an instrument, learn to sew or knit, test your skills in the kitchen or just try something completely random that you have never done before.

Idea #9 - Try out some Science Experiment

If you like science then why don't you try some science experiments

I found this site if you are looking for some simple science experiments to do these school holidays.

I hope you like these ideas too : )

Thanks,

#HolidayBoredomBusters!

So, if you're anything like me you probably get extremely bored during the school holidays even if it is only for 2 weeks. Yes I know that is a short time but it gets so boring sometimes so I'm going to share some Holiday Boredom Busters with you. I am hoping to do several posts (maybe even one for each day) sharing some of my favourite ideas to keep yourselves busy these school holidays.

Idea #1 - Start a Youtube Channel
Starting a Youtube Channel could be a great idea to keep you occupied during these holidays. Depending on what sort of channel you are interested in making will affect what you do but just remember Quality before Quantity. If you want you could invite friends over and film some fun tags or whatever. Just remember that it is a good idea to ask your parents first especially if you are planning on showing your face. If you think you will be too busy some times to make a youtube channel why not try making a blog on blogger. I recommend using blogger because I know for sure you can schedule when your posts go up so that way you can type up several posts when you have some free time and then set times for them to be posted (great if you get quite busy sometimes).

Idea #2 - Create a Holiday Look Book
If you are into fashion or beauty, why not create a holiday look book by taking pictures of what you wear each day. This would also be neat if you did it over the whole year. You could then put it into a scrapbook. This could be really handy on those days when you are unsure on what to wear. You may even notice some patterns in what you wear. Maybe you always wear a certain top with the same pants and accessories and you could then see what other items it may go with. Also, if you plan on doing it for a long period of time such as a year, then why not take a picture of each of your clothing items to put on the first pages. You could organize them however you want, but putting all of your clothing items next to each other may just help you discover some new ways to wear certain items or even several new outfits.
I think I just gave myself an idea, I might try this... one day.

Idea #3 - Create a Holiday Vlog
Why don't you have a go at vlogging these holidays to remember all the fun things you did. It would be great fun to look back on with friends in the future to see what you had fun doing when you were younger.

Idea #4 - Create a short film or movie
Invite your friends over for some fun today. Create unique characters for each of you and help write a script and put your acting, filming and editing skills together to create a short film or movie. Or why not write the script by your self and treat it like an audition, your friends can pick their favourite characters (try and make ones that help your friends individual talents that way you know their is a character that will appeal to each of your friends and will help avoid fights and arguments about who gets what role) and audition, this will hopefully help build confidence in some of your shyer friends. One way to get around this is to get your friends to create a role for themselves and then you can all audition for the role you created.
- Also, you could invite you friends over for a sleepover and have them first come over at 10-11am or so, that way you can spend a lot of the day writing a script and filming. Then, after dinner you could watch your short film while sharing popcorn and having a laugh. Including a bloopers section would also be cool! Don't forget to share the film with friends some how that way you can all have your own copy to keep.


I decided to share these 4 activities today because they could take up most of the holidays if you do a little bit a day. I am going to share the bigger activities first over the next couple of days that way you can have more time to organize them if you choose to do them.

Thanks,
KiwiGirlHelp

P.S. Watch out for more #HolidayBoredomBusters coming soon...

Hi Girls! Apology and Channel Ideas!

Long time, no see...

I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while both on Youtube and on here but I have been quite busy with school since I had tests I had to study for and I didn't have much time to film, edit and post but now that the holidays have arrived I will hopefully be able to post some stuff. I will hopefully be able to write a whole bunch of posts for this blog and then schedule them so that if I don't get time to post there will still be posts for you to read and so that you can still get some advice you may need.

Now that the apology is over let's get into the Channel Ideas!
Since the name KiwiGirlHelp isn't really limited to 1 topic I am thinking of adding some new kinds of videos and posts that could also help you girls out.
So currently I am doing Period and Puberty and I have done a little bit of beauty but some other ideas I had were
- Looming Tutorials (I designed a cute bra charm so maybe I could show you how to make that to connect all of us together, like a friendship charm)
- Cooking/Baking Ideas and Videos (I've always liked cooking and baking but lately I've been interested in trying new ideas for breakfast and snacks and stuff like that so maybe I could include the occasional baking/cooking video which could also help some of you too)

If you have any other ideas or like the ideas I've come up with, please let me know and I will see what I can do.

Thanks,

Kiwigirlhelp Weekly #1

Well, I thought I could do a weekly or monthly thing of some sort so this is the first one...

I thought that Confidence in sharing your musical talents would be a good start since I love singing and I play a few instruments.

I know that it takes a lot of confidence to be able to get up and show others your musical talents such as playing an instrument or singing. I never used to be confident when it came to singing in front of others but now I love singing and it doesn't bother me anymore if people hear me singing. I always used to stop singing if someone caught me but not anymore, now, I sing a lot. It seems as though I never go a day without singing at least once.

Some tips I have to anyone who is nervous about sharing their musical talents but really wants to get their talent out there.

• Find a friend you trust and perform for them, they will be very supportive and will help you out if they think your talent can get you somewhere and will definitely help you follow your dreams.
• If you have a family member or friend who also has the same musical talent as you, you could ask them for some advice.
• Ask yourself Why you are nervous when it comes to sharing your talent? Is it because you are afraid others won't like it? Or are you afraid that you will forget the lyrics or play the wrong note? Well, just remember that not everyone likes every single voice or instrument they hear and that everyone makes a mistake every now and then.
• Try singing in front of a larger audience because I personally think that it's easier to sing in front of a larger group than it is to sing in front of a small group because it feels as though you won't get criticized as much and that is because there is a larger amount of people which means that there isn't really time for face to face criticizing.
• Allow people to give you suggestions and feedback so that you know what you need to work on and what's already working for you.
• If you have lessons for your talent then I would suggest you talk to your teacher and see what they think about you when you are doing the talent, Compliments from people trained in that area will definitely help you build confidence.
•  Don't worry! If your friends, family and music teachers say you are good at it, chances are you are so just take a risk and audition for the talent quest and even if you don't get in you could talk to the person holding auditions and ask why you didn't get in.

If your school talent show is coming up but you are too shy or nervous to put your name down on the sign up sheet. I, myself has gone through the nerves in putting my name down for a talent quest. Even though it sends shivers down your spine, you want to get your talent out there. But to get your talent out there you have to overcome those nerves and become confident. That year I did put my name down and went through the audition process but I didn't make it through. The year after I got to perform at an assembly and it has built my confidence knowing that people like my singing and that they think I'm good. Sometimes all it takes is someone such as a teacher to tell you that you are good at your talent.
If you are planning on possibly putting your name don't leave it too late. Put it down as soon as you know what you are probably going to be doing because otherwise you may miss out on the opportunity.
If you are nervous on what others might think just remember that you may never be discovered if you never put your name down or show others what you can do. Sometimes it's easier to perform in front of a big crowd than it is to sing in front of a couple of people. I think this because if you sing in front of 1 or 2 people it makes you feel as though you are getting judged on the spot but in front of a big crowd they can't really criticize you right there. Just remember that not everyone is going to like what you do.  

Sorry if these tips don't help, but I kind of just grew out of my stage fright (i think that's what you would call it I guess), I basically just became a more confident person as I got older and I'm not afraid to be heard.

Also, sorry for not making a lot of videos, I'm quite busy with school but it's easy to do blog posts since I can write heaps at once and schedule them so they pop up on different days.

Bye,

Friendship Problems and Answers - 2

Do you feel as though your friends aren't there for you as much as they used to be? Are they ignoring you? Leaving you out? Talking about you behind your back? Or overall just not being the friends they used to be?
Well if you need help with friends then hopefully this post will be able to give you some ideas.

There are always going to be ups and downs in friendships,sometimes your stuck in the middle or sometimes you did something wrong but you don't know what it is. You just need to communicate with them and find out what the problem is. This series on friendship problems will hopefully help some of you out in your current situations.

One day you and your friends are all happy and then the next day someone in the groups being nasty...

Well, this could be for a number of reasons. If this continues in a pattern then I would suggest maybe talking to the person and asking why they are being all nasty to the rest of the group. If it is only like that every once and a while it could be mood swings or maybe they are just having a bad day and everyone has a bad day once and a while but maybe just ask them what's wrong and support them if having a bad day is the reason. If it's one person in the group that's always being mean maybe talk to the other friends in the group and see what they think, maybe they know the reason but it could be personal to the person but if they say there is a reason just try and support them and be nice. Maybe the person being mean doesn't fit in with the group anymore and is trying to get out of the group. Whatever the reason, talk to them and find out why they have been acting the way the have and then you can work around it and try to fix it.

If you are having friendship problems, comment or email me (kiwigirlhelp@gmail.com) and I will try to answer your problem or question on here so that others with similar problems can recieve help as well.

Do you feel as though your friends aren't there for you as much as they used to be? Are they ignoring you? Leaving you out? Talking about you behind your back? Or overall just not being the friends they used to be?
Well if you need help with friends then hopefully this post will be able to give you some ideas.

You just need to communicate with them and find out what the problem is. This series on friendship problems will hopefully help some of you out in your current situations.

If your friends are ignoring you or leaving you out because you did something wrong but you don't know what it was...
I would suggest trying to talk to them. If they don't want to talk to you just tell them that you want to sort things out or find out what the problem is. If they aren't willing to listen to you, maybe just leave them alone for a little while and try talking to them again in a week or 2. For the meantime just find some other friends to be with. If they still don't want to talk to you just stick with some other friends you've found. If the ones ignoring you are your true friends they will probably listen to you but if they don't then that's their problem, they may have just lost a good friend. If they come crawling back to you a month or 2 or maybe even a year later, you can either stick with you new friends or your old friends but don't forget that your old friends may repeat what happens, maybe you could get both your new friends and old friends to all be friends and have a bigger group, chances are that not many people will get left out because there will probably always be someone to talk to. Things will probably work out in the end either way.

If you're stuck in the middle...
I would suggest talking to both of them individually and finding out what both of them have to say. If you can get both of them to apologize to each other you may solve your problem. If they are saying something that the other person is denying, it may be a bigger problem but you could get them to maybe forget about it and say that they are friends and should forgive each other. You could also organize a girls night with both of them and maybe some other friends too to help calm them down if there is any drama between them. Hopefully spending a night together with both of them will make them realize you aren't taking sides.
If things aren't working find a new group of friends because taking sides with one of them isn't going to help so maybe just find some new friends if things still aren't working out.

If this post doesn't help you or you want help with a different situation you can comment or email me (kiwigirlhelp@gmail.com) and I will try to answer your friendship problems.

Camp Period Kit

Hi Girls, this is a requested post.
Before I start I would like to say one thing, the girl didn't say how long the camp was or anything and she said that she has just gotten her first period so I am just doing some guidelines about what to take.\

Overnight Pads

-So some guidelines for Overnight Pads

-Take 1 for each night you will be at the camp and then add 1 or 2 extras just in case a friend needs one or you have an unexpected very heavy flow.

Regular/Super Pads

-Take around 4 regular pads for each day that you will be on the camp and also take a few Super Pads just in case your flow is heavy on a particular day

-Also I would suggest taking a few extra pads just in case someone else needs a pad

-You could also maybe take a pack of Regulars and a pack of Supers if that is easier but just make sure you have around 4 pads for each day

Liners

-Take enough liners to last you the camp depending on how many you use each day.

-To work out how many liners you need - how many liners you use each day times how many days the camp is

Optional Items

-Tampons (you said you just got your first so I took them out)

If you do use tampons during the day take the same amount of tampons as I said for pads

If you use both just take around half and half of each.

If you don't use tampons but there are water activities you think you may want to participate in, I would suggest taking a few (3 or 4)

-Sanitary Disposal Bags

These are scented black bags that you can put your used pads, tampons and liners in.

These are really good and discrete if there aren't sanitary bins in the toilets.

I would suggest taking a packet especially if there are going to be long drops.

-Hand Sanitizer

Mini Hand Sanitizers are a great thing to take especially if there are going to be long drops or just a regular bathroom.

-Libra Get Fresh Wipes or any kind of wipes safe for use down there.

These are great if you aren't going to be able to shower. They will also keep you feeling refreshed.

-Spare Underwear

Maybe just take a couple of extra pairs of underwear just in case.

-Libra Hotties Heat Patches

In case you get cramps

Those listed under the optional list are obviously optional but some are great to take especially hand sanitizer.

So collect your supplies and put them in a cute bag all ready to go.

Comment telling me you camp must-haves.

Bye, see you next time

Being Dumped or Rejected...

I uploaded a video on being dumped and rejected this morning but didn't think it had many tips so I'm hopefully going to be able to come up with some more tips on here.
You can view the video on my channel KiwiGirlHelp. I would really appreciate it if you subscribed to me too. : )
Anyway so here are some of my tips to you if you have been Dumped or Rejected

• Take the person out of your life for a little while until you are over them. To help you do this Block them on Social Networks and don't talk/text them and stuff. You can unblock them and talk to them again when you over them but taking them out of your life for a little while just helps you not to think about the person as much.
• Try not to let it get to you too much just remember that the relationship just wasn't meant to be and it just means that it didn't work out. Also, there are plenty of fish in the sea like there are plenty of people on the earth so I'm sure you will find someone else.
• Have a day with your friends to help get things off your mind, you could go to the movies, go shopping, have a sleepover/spa day and just do something fun together with all your best buds. If you wanted some ideas for things to do with your friends I would be happy to share some of my ideas with you at a later date.
• Remain Calm... as I said before it just wasn't meant to be.
• If you feel confident enough you could ask them why they dumped you. Maybe it was for family reasons, his grandparents could be sick or something bad like that which means he wants to spend less time with you to focus on his family or something or maybe he just felt things weren't working at that time or he just wanted a short break to be with he friends or something. Maybe he doesn't feel like you like him the same as when you were first together. Some of the reasons listed above mean that he just doesn't really have much time to spend with you or he wants to spend more time with his family or anything but you won't know unless you ask. 
• Focus on more important things such as your Family and Friends, Boys will come and go and so will some friends but your Family and True friends will always be there for you.
• Finding a new hobby or activity could also help you out.
• Singing, release your emotions by finding a song that fits your situation and helps you really release those emotions you may be keeping to yourself
• Remember, it's ok to cry and let it all out but just remember that Boys aren't the most important things in life.

Thanks,

My Lip Product Collection and Swatches

So, I love wearing lip products whether it be tinted lipbalm, lipstick or a gloss (only if it isn't sticky, I'm not a fan of sticky glosses. I thought I would start of my beauty/makeup posts by showing you all of my lip products. So let's get started...

I'll start with my lip balms, since I have so many lip balms, I thought I'd just show you 1 of each of the ones I could find (also I couldn't find all my lip balms since I pretty much have 1 or 2 in each of my handbags and a couple in my school bag)

  Ok, so to start with I had 3 of the Yes to Carrots Lip Butters but I only have 1 left now as I used up my mint and raspberry ones so now I only have my melon one left.

 It is just a plain clear balm. I really like this lip balm and if you would like a full review and list of flavours I would be happy to do so since I love this balm so much. : )

 Next I have the Lip Smackers, I have the ones that came in the Coca Cola tin. I don't really use these lip balms anymore since I prefer some of my other ones but these ones are handy if I run out and need a back up or something.

 These Lip balms are coloured in the tube but don't come out that shade on your lips, they appear clear on your lips but I found after swatching the fanta one (the one in the pics) on my arm it left a slight orange tint but it wouldn't be noticeable on your lips.

 Another on of my faves, my Maybelline Baby Lips. I used to have both of the ones in the Baby Lips Glow collection but just recently finished the lighter pink one but still have some of the darker one left. I also have the Baby Lips Antioxidant berry.

 Most of the original ones in NZ are clear but the Baby Lips Glow change colour on your lips and the Baby Lips Colour are coloured and available in 5 shades although I'm still looking for them.

 This Miki Lip Conditioner is relatively new to my collection. I chose the spearmint one since I love minty scents and the smell of this one isn't as nice as my old yes to carrots mint lip butter but this one smells ok I guess.

 I've only tried this one and the balm itself is a pale green (didn't show up in the photo) but doesn't leave any green tint whatsoever, I am interested to see if the bubblegum one is tinted though so I might get it at a later date.

 I love this Blistex Intensive Repair especially in the colder months when I get really badly chapped lips. It is an amazing lip balm for those of you who get badly chapped lips at any time of the year and it heals your chapped lips fast.

 As you can see, I've almost finished my pot of it (3rd one in 3 or 4 years). It is a yellowy colour in the pot but it is clear when you put it on. It produces a tingly/cold feel when you first put it on but that goes away after a little while.

Now for my Glosses which I will do swatches for after showing you them all...

First I have a trio which I got for Christmas last year, They have cute little charms on the end and are tube lip glosses in a pale pink, a pinky purple and a red.

 Now I have another lip gloss set I also got last year for Christmas and it came with 5 although  pretty much used up the other 2 so will just show you the 3 in the picture.

 I got this one recently and it is the L.A. Colors Glossin Go! Lip Gloss. I has really slim packaging and has a longish sponge type applicator. Mine is in the Colour Glam.

 This last one is an oldish one and is the Napoleon Perdis in Paris Pink. I don't use this as it is sticky and the colour looks ridiculous on me and this one has a brush applicator if you were wondering.

Lip Gloss Swatches!!!

Left to Right (Miki Charm Pale Pink, Miki Charm Pinky Purple, Miki Charm Red, Miki Mini pink, Miki Full Size purple/pink, Miki Mini Rosey Coral, L.A. Colors Glossin Go, Napoleon Perdis)

I didn't know the names for the miki ones but the lip glosses are in the order they were in the pictures if you were confused.

Now for my Lipsticks : )

 I have a Cover Girl Lip Stick in Pink Moon. It is a very sheer pale Lilac Color.

I like the colour of this lip stick and haven't seen any more quite like it.

 It is quite sparkly as you can see in the Picture Above. I don't wear this colour much because it makes my lips look quite chapped but I am trying to get into wearing it.

 Next I have the 4Me Lipstick in Shade 21, on me it looks like a pink nude.

Like my Covergirl lip stick this makes my lips look quite chapped. Is it because they are light colours??? I kind of like how you can see what colour the lipstick is without having to open it, it will come in handy if I ever get a wider variety of colours.

In the tube it looks like a pretty pinky rose shade, I wish it was a bit darker but oh well...

 Now I have the Kleancolor Double Diamond Lips. I believe it is in Love Me 365 (not sure).

 The Lipstick is a pretty bubble gum pink but I feel it doesn't suit me as much as I would like it to.

On the other end is just a clear glittery gloss.

 My Miki Lipsticks are definitely my fave because I've found they are quite build-able. You can make them bright with a few swipes over the lips or do 1 swipe and then tone it down with a bit of clear lip balm over the top.

 I have 2 of them and this one is in Runway Red. It is a really bright red and I really love how it looks.

I am hoping to get some other shades of these lipsticks also.

Here is my other Miki Lipstick but this one is in Fuschia Fun.

It is a hot pink fuchsia colour. I also love this colour as it is really bright.

 Like my Other Miki Lipstick I find that I can tone it down or make it bright and vibrant.

Here are swatches of all my lipsticks from left to right (Covergirl Pink Moon, 4me in shade 2, KleanColor Double Diamond Lips, Miki Fuschia Fun, Miki Runway Red)

So i hope you enjoyed reading about my Lip Product Collection and if you want reviews on any of these just let me know and I'll be happy to do so.
