Bringing out the good stuff in Second Life®: fashion, hot spots, freebies, etc.

Ladies and gents, I give you Belle, released just today by BluAbyss Denimore at Vivé9, a store which has apparently taken over the feeds during the week that I was offline. At any rates, I’m pretty sure it’s new to me, unless I’m having a memory lapse. And because it’s new to me and also pretty mind-blowing at the same time, I have taken pains this time to attempt a semi-proper review of sorts, that is, with lots of samples for viewage, even in all the tones!

There are 10 make-ups in all, each one available in every single tone: Afro, Ebony, Tan, and Light. And surprisingly contrary to my tendencies these days, the darker here, the more I am infatuated! Also, the fatpacks are 2000L only, so quite a steal! Aaaand, you may still be in time to grab three free sample skins from this range in the Vive9 in-world group, too.

Hair from Red Queen by Ruth Quan.

Store card in hand, I returned to Beauty Avatar Couture today! The recent summer release is simply huge, and I tried to pick the first things that had caught my eyes on the previous trip, but there is so much more! I’m also very excited about this hat from LaGyo, which is part of a set called “Noir desir”, that has several more beautiful headpieces. I was really pleased that it all paired nicely with JM:MAI’s Devonz Sakuran skinline, a store I’ve had my eye on forever, but which I had never gotten to blog until today.

Jennie is the latest face released at Laqroki. And oh my god, hello cuteness!

Here’s for a close-up!

The Zooby’s pug carrier is more popular but being a cat lady I adored this cat as soon as I saw it a few days ago, and had to have it! I love it more than even the napping or walking versions. Somehow it looks way companionable. I was also on just in time for these sandals, newly released at Coco. Close-up here. The tinting menu is handy enough, I just wish it could affect both feet at the same time, instead of having to tint each one individually. But the shoe itself looks really quite fantastic.

Hai. This is Lili posting an outfit for Three Fall who did not want to be bothered with all the technical hoo-hah of blogging. I asked my sort of ex-wife to be a sometimes co-contributor, that is, she might when she logs on once every three months, has the time and feels like it. She’s fierce like that. Love ya, sista!

Today, featuring Manatee McMillan!

When I saw the über cute vendor poster she made yesterday for Gabby Lime’s AO set called ‘Weirdo’, I impulsively asked for the pictures so that I could post them here. These poses can be found at [twee], where Manatee also sells her cute, girly, whimsical dresses as seen previously blogged by Marni, Chance and Anya. I used to shop there when I was practically still a newbie, way before it had clothing of any kind, except for glasses, if that counts. It was silly fun stuff that was to be found there essentially, like Gabby’s wheelchair which is the default one I take out when I, erm, need one, or her ‘Free Hugs’ sign, that is also one of my favourite random props. I’m normally not the fan type, but I can remember [twee] as being one of the first rare eccentric shops I knew of for a long time that made irrelevant, amusing stuff just for the heck of it. Then it kind of all but fell off the radar for almost two years… and it’s fun to cross paths again, in person!
