Your Friendly Neighborhood Vampire

“When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers, I kind of wanted to be a vampire.”

– Angelina Jolie

Hello Fab Free! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine was pretty great, I feel refreshed and ready to take on the weekly grind. As for this post I have some Spookzilla finds, and a few October group gifts to share. First, I’m slightly obsessed with bats, which made these lounge shorts and matching top by 1 Hundred absolutely irresistible. I also picked up some pretty must-have makeup group gifts at Purple Beauty, and ghoulish confection group gift from Palette.

1 Hundred at Spookzilla

1 Hundred has 8 total hunt prizes at the Spookzilla event. You’ll need to hunt down the little ghosts from 1 Hundred hidden around the Spookzilla sim. I picked up the “Night Wing” shirt and the matching “Night Wing” shorts for just 10 linden each. The top says “moonlight” across the front and has a purple bat on the back. The shorts have a high slit on either side.

Sizes Included: Belleza Freya. Slink Hourglass, Maitreya Lara, MeshBody Legacy

Purple Beauty

I’m a sucker for good makeup, BOM layers, appliers, I’ll wear them both. For me makeup is just a fun form of self expression. Purple Beauty has two beautiful group gifts available. One is a BOM layer eyeshadow set, and the other is a glittery gloss set in a Catwa HD applier. The colors in both sets are vibrant and beautiful on. The Purple Beauty group has a join fee of just 50 linden.

Palette

This “Vampire Milkshake” group gift at Palette manages to be gory and cute. It also ties in nicely with my very relatable Angelina Jolie quote at the top of the post. This ghoulish beverage comes with a bento hold pose for the right or left, and a display version. The cup says “Happy Halloween” with little bats, also I love the little bat chocolates on the top! You’ll need to join the “Leggy Mainstore Official” group which is the store group for Palette to claim this gift. The group has a join fee of just 10 linden.

A Bunch of Hocus Pocus

“My darling girl when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage.” – Aunt Francis, Practical Magic

Welcome back to the blog Fab Free! I am loving some of the October group gifts I’ve come across recently. It’s always thrilling to find freebies that I feel match my personal style when I wear them. For this post I found just that in the free October group gifts from Eternal Limited, POUT!, and Belleposes.

Eternal Limited

I love the playfully witchy print of this dress by Eternal Limited. I was so excited to find this cute dress is their free group gift for October. The group is also free to join.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza Freya, Slink Hourglass, MeshBody Legacy

POUT!

This time of year also gives the opportunity to wear some creative and beautiful makeup looks. I love the bold colors and the stitch detail of this eye makeup by POUT!. It is also a free group gift for the month of October. The POUT! group is free to join.

Appliers/Layers Included: Catwa BOM Layers, Genus BOM Layers, Catwa Applier, Genus Applier, Lelutka Evo Applier

Belleposes

Lastly, it just wouldn’t be October in Second Life without some spooky poses for taking all the fun Halloween photos. The October (from 2018, but still available) group gift at Belleposes is a fun set of 3 witchy poses. Belleposes is free to join as well.

Don’t Stop Believin’

“Don’t stop believin’, just hold on to that feelin’…” ~ Journey 

Surely I’m not the only one with a brain full of useless (but totally fun) pop culture information. That said, when I saw this adorable (and free) group gift tee at Reed, I immediately felt like singing the Journey song “Don’t Stop Believin'” since that’s what the shirt says. The unicorn graphic is also pretty darn cute! Also at Reed are these pretty wristwatches that come in gold, silver (shown), black, and rose. They are free lucky letter board prizes, or you can purchase them all for 75 linden and not have to wait. The group gift shirt, and the Lucky Letter boards will require the Reed group tag, however the group is free to join.

Shirt Sizes Included: Belleza (Freya, Venus, Isis), Maitreya Lara, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), MeshBody Legacy

On my recent shopping excursion I also picked up some nail polish and eyeshadow from Demicorn. These pretty pastel nail polishes, and my vibrant eyeshadow are two of many group gifts at Demicorn. The Demicorn group is 100 linden to join. The polish has 6 color choices, and the eyeshadow has 5 color combinations to choose from. I have to say I’m very much enjoying these rich colors!

Nail Applier Included – Maitreya Only
Eyeshadow Applier Included – Catwa Only

Happy shopping Fab Free! Now you’ll have to excuse me while I return to my own personal rendition of “Don’t Stop Believin'” while dancing around my living room.

Hey, Fab Free! Today I will being doing a little feature on the Lybra VIP group! It is indeed a paid group with a 500 L fee to join, but membership to the group gives you access to many wonderful things including fatpack gifts, and monthly gift cards. I will also be showing you all some free and almost-free accessories and makeups to accompany the latest group gift at Lybra, so read below for more details!

Lybra VIP 2020 Perks

At Lybra, the 500 L join fee for their VIP group is definitely an investment and well worth the benefits. There are other benefits you get through this group in addition to the past group gifts. One of the recently added perks in Lybra‘s VIP group is that every month members get a 500 L gift card. That equals 6,000 Linden in store credit per year! I joined during the first couple days of March and was able to cash in on the monthly promotion for the first three months of the year. Time for a shopping spree, Fab Free! Just head over to the Lybra VIP members lobby on the main floor of the store, to pickup the group, gifts cards and past member’s gifts.

Andrea

The most recent VIP group gift is Andrea. It’s a really gorgeous outfit, and can work for business or leisure. It include a top and slacks and it comes with several detailed colour huds.  I decided to take my photo above in a sim dedicated to the twentieth century sci-fi author H.P. Lovecraft, and I can even see this outfit working for modernist roleplay needs. Overall, this outfit is a keeper and it looks super fancy and expensive! You’ll radiate with class wearing this.

Sizes Included

• Maitreya
• Belleza (Freya & Isis)
• Alice Signature
•  Slink Hourglass

The Andrea set is so customizable and very easy to mix and match with other accessories, makeups and shoes, so I had no problem adding some wonderful free and cheap items to this look, so keep reading!

The Classy Eclatant Heels

KC Couture currently has a couple gifts out for free, or almost-free themes groups right now, which are tucked in behind the corner. The pair I have on right now are the gift for MLM offers (5 L join), called the Eclatant Heels. They’re very classy and intricate, and for 5L only these are a great steal.

Free Eyeshadow!

I added a free eyeshadow to this outfit in a green and brown shade to match my top and pants. This eyeshadow is from Altice. It is made for Genus heads, and can be used on BOM heads as well. It is a free gift with a free group join.

Some Bangles

The Bangles I have on right now perfectly match the colours I selected on the Andrea Fatpack, and they are one of the past group gifts from Death Row Designs that you can pick up as a free group gift until March 18th, which I recently blogged about. These are the “Wood Bangles”, in the colour set and the Mono set. They are gorgeous and can see them going with a lot of outfits. You can pick up the bangles as one of DRD‘s past group gifts which are available for free right now. Make sure to head over there soon as these will be retiring in the next week!

Crystals, Moons & Sparkles

Good Afternoon, Fab Free! Today I am showing off four gifts, which, like my last post, are a number of witchy gifts you can grab now! Keep reading to find out about how to get a crystal group gift gem necklace, a free moon face tattoo, a free top, and some free vibrant BOM eyeshadow!

Another Necklace from Addams!

Addams has kindly gifted its group members yet another gorgeous necklace, which accompanies their latest release, Pheobe. The Addams group costs 19 Linden to join, but it is well worth the rewards for this small fee, including a number of past gifts which are available at the store now.

This necklace is a full fatpack and you can change the colours of the stones, chain and body. It is simply stunning with the detail that went into its creation. I love the crystals and stones options in this necklace in particular. Crystal, gem and stone jewelry always makes me swoon and I am addicted in real life, so I obviously needed to wear this necklace as soon as I saw it! Phoebe is very long, so you will need a low-hanging top or dress to match this necklace, which is where Maya comes in.

Maya

Asteria’s newest group gift is a crop top fatpack, and it is awesome! This is definitely a top I can imagine myself wearing a lot- it is cute and it hugs your curves well! You can get this gift by joining the free Asteria group. It comes in several colours, which you can change via HUD. Make sure that you grab all the past group gifts when you visit Asteria. You can find them in the group gift section at the inside entrance of the store, and there is also a larger gift area outside in front of the store. Go crazy, Fab Free!

Sizes Included:

• Maitreya
• Belleza (Freya, Isis, Venus)
• Legacy

Playing with BOM

I also have two BOM freebies I am wearing, both of which are completely free. The Horror has a current Group Gift designed for members who wear Genus and Lelutka Heads, but it is a BOM makeup. It is an alluring, yet mysterious, crescent moon face tattoo. Simply join The Horror‘s free group to pick up this little gift. The final touch to my makeup palette is a dramatic eyeshadow applier from Zibska. It comes in several colours and as it is BOM, it can be applied to any head that is compatible with bakes on mesh . It is simply striking and so sparkly!  The gift is free, no group needed, so pick it up near the landing area of the store!

I hope you enjoy these free finds, Fab Free!

Cheers,

Xx

Like It’s a Bad Thing

“Know what? Bitches get stuff done.” – Tina Fey

Hi There Fab Free’rs! Welcome back to the blog. I don’t often put quotes or lyrics in my posts, but I felt the above quote from one of my favorites, Tina Fey, was more than appropriate considering the quote on this FREE group gift top from Sass. Needless to say, I personally am in agreement with the idea that being a bitch isn’t always a bad thing. This rather sassy tied up t-shirt group gift is FREE to all Sass group members. The group is FREE to join.

Mesh Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza Freya, Slink Hourglass

The Devil is in The Details

Sometimes there really is a little devil in the details. This devilish eye makeup look is a recent group gift from Slack Girl. I really like this playful twist on winged liner. Makeup should be fun! This gift includes appliers and classic system layers. There are several color options for the little devil tail part of the liner, each with the artful dark smoky eye.  To get yours head over to Slack Girl and join the in world group.  There is a join fee of 100 lindens. There are also quite a few previous group gifts still available.

Appliers Included: Omega, Akeruka / Classic System Layers also included

Flamingo

Hello There Fab Free’rs! I know it’s been a minute since I put up a blog post, my apologies for that. Real Life has me on my toes these days. Hopefully I’ll find a bit of calm soon and be able to get back into a regular routine. I miss this! For today I have a few little things to share with you to create a cute everyday warm-weather look.

Starting with the eyes, or shall I say the eye makeup, Slack Girl has out a pretty set of eye makeup as a recent group gift. This pretty gift includes 3 variations of this pretty winged liner with a subtle shadow. The package has a Catwa/Omega applier for Catwa and Omega compatible heads, as well as classic system layers. The SlackGirl group has a one time join fee of 100 linden, however there is a full wall of FREE gifts including this one available to all group members. Don’t forget to wear that tag!

I really love it when designers make demos that are wearable. It really helps you see how an item is going to look, as well as allows you to test a product. The nails and rings Pru has on are a wearable demo from Angel Rock. The rings and nails are all part of the same single attachment, meant to fit Maitreya Lara hands. I found this pretty FREE wearable demo on the Marketplace. The rings are well detailed, and I genuinely like the colors. In the package you’ll find right and left hand attachments to fit several hand sizes, however you must be wearing Maitreya Lara mesh hands as well. You’ll also find a HUD in the package, however it is for demo purposes only. It will allow you to see the possible options of the full product, but it will not make any changes to your rings or nails.

Lastly, how cute is this top from AtiK?! I love the soft overlay floral pattern combined with pretty pink flamingos. This mesh top looks so cute on, and like it would be comfortable on even the most hot humid days. AtiK‘s in-world group is FREE to join, making this lovely group gift FREE as well. In the package you’ll get the mesh top in standard mesh sizes, as well as a matching alpha layer. There is an entire wall of group gifts at the AtiK location, just join the group and pick them up while wearing your group tag.

Here are the details, Enjoy!
