I don't know where these are from but I'll do some more googling and update if I find them. I love the bows on the side!
With all the technology today, I sometimes forget how easily other people (or companies) can find out what we're talking about. I posted my bottle of Barielle earlier which had a small defect-just so you know the color is to die for and Imma post some pics when I get a chance! Anyways, I got an email first thing this morning from Adam Pollock part of their customer service team and he said, "Dear “Sparkingpinkgorilla”,That should never happen…Send your address to me and we’ll ship you out a new one.We stand behind our products." Wow. I didn't expect that! I hear bloggers and beauty product junkies complain about various companies all the time and never get any response. Anyways, i mailed Adam Pollock back and asked him if they would mind if I used the replacement bottle in a giveaway since mines still usable and he said......(drumroll please).......Yes! That they will send a couple of different ones for the giveaway! Yay! So I'm announcing my upcoming giveaway. I'll post an official post about it when the polishes arrive. I've been collecting some stuff for one and just been waiting for when I had some extra polish to put in the group.
I just wanted to let you all know this. I thought it was quite amazing since I had a small order from them (unfortunately) and I have a small blog but apparently even the "little person" matters in their book! :)
O and I wanted to say wow at their packaging my order came in. I could have sat on the box and nothing would have broke.
You can order Barielle polishes and treatments from Barielle.com where the polishes are buy 2 get 1 free and they include samples in every order. You can also go to Scrangie.com and click the link on her blog. I had forgot to do this when I ordered and she's the main reason I ordered them in the first place with her amazing swatches.
If I put it back on and twist hard it'll go back together though. The shade is Lava Rock- I'm so ecited to try it on! I can't wear black because it looks all kinds of wrong so I've been trying dark colors that lean towards black. The swatches of this I've seen are amazing!
i found a really neat blog while googling some random nail swatches. It's called dailypolish.blogspot.com and the girl in charge of it has committed to wearing a different shade of polish every day for a year. I know this sounds like nothing after reading All Lacquered Up and Scrangie's blog where they're constantly swatching whole collections of nail polish but for us mere mortals I find this an achievement. I got to admit as much as I love nails and love polish, I hate the task of doing my nails. I know I couldn't do it every day! Not to mention my boyfriend might think I was crazy if I had 365 bottles of polish stashed around the house...I'm slowly trying to bring him around though :)
Anyways- go check out her blog, I can't believe she only has 9 followers!
P.S. she's on day 52 if you're wondering

Essie It's In The Bag
I always have trouble with this color polish- creamy off white- it always looks streaky and thick. Any tips?
Here's a few things I picked up today-
I got these buy 1 get 1 free. I already have a bottle of the intensive therapy but I wanted the foundation. These were only $4.99 at TjMaxx!
I used the base coat earlier on my damaged nails- they have torn spots on them from me peeling off my fake nails(I know big no no)-and it worked wonders!
I seen these last time but in full sized and liked at the scents, so when I seen them in a mini trio I had to pick them up! Essie Smoothies hand and body lotion in blueberry/banana, coconut/pineapple, pomegranate/mango. I picked these up at TjMaxx for just $4.50 for all three!
They also have these for $9.59 at discountbeautycenter.com
I'm always looking for some hand wipes to carry with me and found exactly what I wanted! I picked these up at Old Navy for $1.50 each-they only come with10 wipes a piece but they smell delicious and can be used for face or body.
Stay Glossy Lip Gloss
Lasts up to six hours and comes in 11 shades.
The Max Volume Flash Mascara
Their biggest brush ever! Up to 14x volume.
Wow! Long lasting lipgloss and mascara with a big brush in a PINK tube! These are products I could get excited about! Except one thing- they're UK only releases! Boo!
Where's our exciting products Rimmel? Where's our pink tubed mascara and long lasting lip gloss?
Hopefully these will be released here in the States. Soon.
Would you be interested in these products if they were released here?
I have been so excited to receive my order from EyeLipsFace.com and am really happy with everything I got, but I don't think I'll be ordering from them again after I receive my next order. I got the package a little earlier today and was getting everything together to take pictures when I noticed I didn't receive an item. I checked the invoice and it was on there but it was circled and I read on the bottom where it says basically if any item is circled then that item was out of stock and you weren't charged for it. Well, I went online to EyesLipsFace.com and checked my order on there, I was charged. I went to check my bank statement, charged. So I wrote an email to customer service. I did get a response extremely fast- like within the hour. But the rep says if I was charged then I will be refunded which may take up to 2 weeks. Two weeks from when? It's been ten days since my purchase so 2 weeks from then or two weeks from now? I don't like the idea that I won't know if I'm not receiving an item til my package is delivered, and I don't like being charged and then refunded. I kinda doubt I'll get my refund so I'll be checking. I'd rather have my product. They should really update the website where you can't order out of stock items or do like so many other places and promise to ship it at a later date. I know it's a place that sells one dollar and three dollar items but I still expect more than this. ELF says to keep checking back for my item to be in stock so I can reorder it but the item is/was/never has been listed as out of stock. Ok, enough ranting, here's my haul- even though ELF sucked all the fun out of it for me.
Here's everything I got. I have to admit, I was impressed. Packaging is super nice and first looks have seem ok. I love how they put it in a bag like you went shopping. I haven't seen anything to back up all the complaints I've read/heard. The lip plumper doesn't "burn like crazy", nothings broke so far, my eyelash curler seems easy to use-I read a lot of reviews where people said it was stiff or hard to use, no extreme smells, everything seems to do what it's job is. The lip primer could be a little dryer but I think it will work well with powder over it. I really do like the makeup remover cloths- if I do ever order from them again- it'll probably be for these. The blush/bronzer is so pretty and gives me a very natural flush glow. I haven't figured out how to put on the lashes yet, I think I need better glue. The powder brush seems nice but I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for yet- powder or liquid. I did notice the chemical smell everyone was saying about this one brush, smells like new plastic is all, nothing a little soap won't cure. The blending brush is not what it looks like on the website, it's shorter and stiffer, like a bullet. I like it though! It seems really good for $1. I had read reviews of some brushes not being crimped and I didn't really get what they meant until I was looking at the little concealer brush that came with the palette. It looked like the bristles were just standing there in the middle. Like the metal around them hadn't been "crimped" down. So I smashed it down myself and good as new! Not hard at all. Nice little brush.
WHAT WILL YOU POST THIS AS? I'm Goin In
Ok so I'm not even supposed to get my ELF haul til Friday but I stumbled on a forum where girls were talking about ELF having 75% off their Studio line! Plus, if you order $75 worth- you get free shipping! Whats all this mean? It means I just got all this for just $18.75 flat. Read on for the code. (Unfortunately the code does NOT work on the new single eyeshadows or blushes, boo!)
What I got-
Matifying Powder
I wanted this in my last order but for some reason didn't get it. I've seen some good reviews, one girl even said it's comparable to Mac's Blot Powder.
Contouring Blush/Bronzer Duo
This is what set this whole line off, with everyone comparing this product to Nars Orgasm Laguna Duo. I really love the packaging of these products, I knew it could be done- cheap and chic. I already ordered one of these in my last purchase but thought another would be needed.
Bronzer in Golden
I'm not a bronzer girl but I got this cause it's pretty. 
Eyebrow Kit
I got two of these, one in light one in medium. I've read some really good reviews on this. I currently use an Anastasia Brows in Bloom kit and love it .
Under Eye Concealer/Highlighter
Always looking for a good concealer. Have yet to find one I really liked. But couldn't hurt to try this since the price is sooooo cheap.
Lip Definer/Shaper
I love how so many of these products are duos. I've never used lip liner but this looks promising.
Eyebrow Lifter/Filler
I love anything that "lifts" my eyebrows.
Concealer/Pencil Brush
Another concealer I am willing to try, plus you'll have a brush even on the go!
Waterproof Mascara in Black
You're supposed to throw Mascara out every 3 months, and with this price you won't cry at the thought.
Hollywood Lash Kit
This should be perfect for me since I've never worn falsies.
Eyelash Curler
I ordered their $1 one on my last purchase but this one looks so grown up. I ordered 2 and I know exactly who to give my other one to.
Mini Eyelash Curler
Perfect for those hard to get lashes.
Complexion Brush
I ordered the powder brush last time so I decided to get this one this time around.
Blush Brush
I have such high hopes for this one.
Fan Brush
So pretty! Use it for eyeshadow fallout or even for cheek color.
Eyeshadow "C" Brush
I already own 2 of the $1, and if those are good- I'm sure this one is.
Concealer Brush
I might use this for eyeshadow instead, I've read of other people using it for this.
Small Precision Brush
You can use this for concealer, lipstick or any other small precise spots.
Small Angled Brush
I love angled brushes.
Small Smudge Brush
For that smokey eye look.
Contour Brush
This looks like the right size, maybe it'll work better than my current one which is just a little too big.
Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths
I ordered some of these with my last order and I ordered 2 packs this time. I've not read a bad review on them yet, and everyone says how soft they leave your skin. Currently I'm using baby wipes, but if these are good- I'll be loading up! The packaging is so attractive too. 
Yes, I got all of this for $18.75! Amazing huh? It's not all for me though, I got some for gifts :) promise. I'll be posting my first order as soon as I receive it so keep an eye out.
O yea, wanna know the code? Here it is-
WWYB75S
Ok so they're not available just yet but Xenia over at Doe Deere Blogazine, creator of Lime Crime Makeup, has been talking about her upcoming lipsticks for a minute now. So I was over looking around the Lime Crime website and seen it had a link for Lips so when I clicked it there's a little preview of the lipsticks! OMG! These are so freaking cute-I can't wait!

Update! Doe Deere will reveal three lipstick colors on August 3rd
