A Waltz into Darkness

Oh hi there Fab Free’rs! I’ve got some awesome group gifts to share with you. In my last post I celebrated the sweeter side of all the love and mush that comes along with Valentine’s Day. For this post I am feelin’ a little sultry, though I think that goes without saying. I picked up the recent group gift at Speakeasy along with the latest group gift at Dead Dollz. I hope you love them as much as I do.

The Dead Dollz Group Gift – If you’d asked me a week ago if I ever saw myself wearing pasties of any kind I would have said probably not. Just goes to show you never know! These pasties with the little hearts are just too pretty. There is of course a matching lower part, so I’ve added a copy of the vendor ad so you can see the gift in full. This gift is fitted for Maitreya Lara bodies only. Included with this Dead Dollz group gift is a color change hud that lets you choose different preset colors for the hearts and the pasties. You can also turn the pastie portion invisible so that only the hearts show. To get your copy you’ll need the Dead Dollz group tag. There is a one time join fee for the Dead Dollz group of 250 linden.

The Speakeasy Group Gift – I love a good full sleeve tattoo. This new group gift at Speakeasy is just that, a good full sleeve that covers from the shoulder to the back of the hand on both arms. This group gift from Speakeasy comes in an Omega applier only. To get your copy you’ll need to join the Speakeasy group. There is a one time join fee of 100 linden, however there are several group gifts currently available.

Here are the details!

Stupid Cupid Cute

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the middle of the week than with some dollarbies from the Stupid Cupid Hunt! The Stupid Cupid Hunt is a dollarbie hunt, so each prize is just 1 linden. The hunt item is a cupid’s arrow. For this post I hunted TSCH prizes at EscalateD, DeFient Unicorn, and Prism. Keep reading for all the info about each of these 1 linden prizes.

The Hair – This adorably messy up-do is the TSCH prize at EscalateD. It comes in 2 variations, each with a mirrored version also, and has 3 mini color change huds. A unique feature for this style is the added ability to color change both sides of the hair the same or differently.

Hint – You can keep this love in a photograph but where to put, where to put…

The Barrettes – To go with adorable hair, you need equally adorable barrettes. These Valentine themed hair clips are 3 of the set of 7 barrettes that make up the TSCH prize at DeFient Unicorn. Each barrette is copy so you can wear multiples of the same one, or mix and match.

Hint – If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk through my garden forever.

The Dress – Prism put out this sweet little dress as their TSCH prize. The key word here is little, watch out ladies, she’s short! That said, the dress is definitely cute on, and perfect for Valentine’s Day. It comes in the following sizes: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), EBody, Slink (Hourlgass, Physique)

Hint – UNITA is guarding your prize.

Here are the details!

Hair – .EscalateD. Macon – 1L TSCH Prize
Barrettes – DeFient Unicorn – *DU* Amora’s Barrettes – 1L TSCH Prize
Head – CATWA HEAD Koura Bento

XOXO

 

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! It seems to me like February is starting out with a bang, or in this case maybe a BYRNE! BYRNE had their February group gift out super early, and as always there is a men’s gift that matches the gift for the ladies. This long sleeve off-the-shoulder dress was too cute to pass up, and definitely too cute to not share with you. Though it wears really well on its own, I chose to pair it with a pair of black leggings and some sandals for a more casual look. This super cute XO dress by BYRNE also comes in a white version with black lettering. The BYRNE group is free to join, and you can get this free gift in the past group notices, or by visiting the main store.

Sizes Included – Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Maitreya Lara, Slink (Hourglass, Physique)

Here are the details!

Let’s Do the Time Warp Again

Hello There Fab Free! It’s good to be here. I feel like I have had such a weird week so far, though I couldn’t tell you what specifically was weird about it. Thankfully I have been able to do some shopping therapy, Fab Free style! Belle Epoque has this cute wiggle dress out as one of their group gifts, and I picked up a beautiful upper body tattoo inexpensively at Speakeasy for a modern pinup look. I hope you enjoy it!

The Dress – I love the mix of retro and modern present in this dress by Belle Epoque. The fabric has an almost latex like shine to it. This fun dress is a free group gift to Belle Epoque group members. The Belle Epoque group has a one time join fee of just 10 linden. This dress comes in a single Maitreya fit only.

The Tattoo – This beautiful floral upper body tattoo is just 50 lindens at the Speakeasy main store. I love how the beautiful roses come around the shoulders and connect in a bow. Also, I think the sphynx kitties near the shoulders are adorable! The tattoo comes in an Omega applier only with 3 opacity options.

As Jolly As I Get

Hello Again Fab Free’rs! I’m always glad you’re here. So I kind of don’t want to admit it, but this sweater by Oubliette suits me so well. *laughs* Not that I don’t get excited, but I’m rarely one to get super outwardly excited. So I could be totally thrilled about something and not express it the way most would expect. This sweater is one of 2 group gifts I picked up today, the second being a 300 linden gift card at Go&See which I used to get this skin for free. In addition I also picked up these earrings by SynCo for free at Winter’s Hollow. Keep reading and I’ll let you know all the info you need about each of these fabulous finds!

The Sweater – Sometimes you just need a little cheekiness in your wardrobe, or at least I do. This sweater is a current group gift at Oubliette. The Petite Mort/Oubliette group is currently free to join, so don’t miss out! Also, there’s an equally fun, if slightly more sinister Krampus sweater waiting over at Petite Mort that you can pick up for free with the same group tag. These novelty sweaters come in several mesh sizes. In addition I want to mention that gift cards are 50% off for a limited time!

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

The Skin/Gift Card – Right now the Go&See group is just 50 linden to join, and there is a limited time group gift 300 Linden gift card available until December 25th. The group gift card vendor is at the Go&See main store, right next to the redelivery terminal. That said, you could either wear your gift card and add the balance to your store credit then save it for later, or do like I did and pick up 3 of the group only 99 linden promo skins for free. There is a row of group promo 99 linden skins at Go&See. The one Pru is wearing is December’s promo named Eva. Next to the vendor for Eva there are specific instructions posted on how to get the skin for 99 linden, and how to purchase using your store credit. Follow the instructions carefully. You will need to be wearing the Go&See group tag! Eva comes in a Genus Project head applier, with Maitreya and Omega body appliers. Other promo skins come in Catwa appliers, and or Omega appliers. Please be sure to try the free demos before you purchase! Additionally, there are male skins at Go&See.

The Earrings – These tapered studs are a free gift by SynCo at Winter’s Hollow. There is no group needed, just pay the gift box under the Christmas tree 1 linden and be instantly refunded 1 linden. This gift includes a color/texture change hud that will let you choose from preset metallic color choices for 3 parts of the earrings. Also, the same hud will allow you to resize them. I would definitely consider these claw-like studs to be unisex. Winter’s Hollow is open until December 31st.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Christmas Fireside

Hello hello Fab Free’rs! Gosh, can you believe Christmas is almost here?! I swear I’m missing a whole week somewhere. lol The good news is if you’re still in need of some holiday decor, and a big beautiful fully decorated tree, MarmeladnyGirl has you covered with their current group gift. Also, I said before I was going to spend the month of December mostly in pajamas. Thankfully the Moondust Cart Sale booth is helping me do just that! Also for today’s post, what better way than in pajamas to show off new full body ink? This cool tattoo is by Vegas Tattoo, and won’t break the bank. Keep reading for all the info about these Fabulous finds.

Christmas Tree, Fireplace, and More – I’m always in awe of incredibly generous group gifts. The current group gift at MarmeladnyGirl is just that, incredibly generous. Not to mention these items are really nice! The gift comes with the Christmas tree shown, the fireplace with garland and twinkle lights, the Love sign, and the rug with “Merry Christmas” pillows. Also included but not pictured are a cute little snowman figure, and a plate of delicious looking cakes. Each of these items is able to be copied, and can be resized.  To get your package from MarmeladnyGirl just head over to their shop and join the in world group. There is a one time join fee of 50 linden. Then click the gift vendor while wearing your group tag.

Pajamas – I’m not sure if this flannel and matching panties really counts as pajamas, but this is definitely something I’d wear to bed, so it counts in my book! This matching set is one of the 10 linden items at the Moondust Cart Sale booth. This cute set comes in many sizes and the items can be worn together or separately.
Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus), Tonic (Curvy, Fine), Slink (Physique, Hourglass)

Tattoo – This tattoo by Vegas Tattoos is a genuinely full body tattoo, it even has hand tattoos. It is a unisex tattoo so gentlemen, you can rock this tattoo also. Each of the appliers have a dark, medium, or light option, and there are several applier types included. Even better, this tattoo is available on the Marketplace for just 1 linden.

Just a Delicate Snowflake

Hello dear Fab Free’rs! It’s been a minute since I said thank you for being here, so thank you so much! Really, there’d be no point to the Fab Free blog without you. That said, I’m happy I get to be here too! I still cannot get over how much there is going on this Holiday Season. I don’t know why, it is probably like this every year, but each year it always seems pleasantly overwhelming. So many gifts and inexpensive finds, so little time! haha Yep, it’s a good problem to have. For today’s post I picked up a few gifts at Redeux and I couldn’t resist another stop at The Cart Sale. As always, I’ll have all the information below.

P.S. Redeux ends on the 21rst so don’t wait! 

The Romper – This little black romper with ruffled shorts is the free Redeux group gift by The Forge. Simply wear your Redeux group tag and click the gift waiting at The Forge’s event booth. The Redeux group is free to join if you’re not a member. This cute little number comes in a single unlabeled mesh size. It fit Pru’s Maitreya Lara body almost perfectly, so that would be my “size” guess.

The Facial Piercings – Axix also has a gift at this round of Redeux. Their free gift is this set of unique triangle shaped facial piercings positioned below the eyes and under the lower lip. They come in the gold color shown, and can be resized and positioned. I would definitely consider them to be a unisex accessory. Again you will need the Redeux group tag to get this gift.

The Snowflake Tattoos – These pretty snowflake upper body tattoos are one of 10 linden items available at The Cart Sale by InnerJoy Love Tattoos. The tattoo comes in an Omega applier, a Maitreya applier, and a classic system tattoo layer. I love when designers continue to include classic layers with their applier products!

Keep Calm

Hello Fab Free’rs! Does any one know what day it is? I am feeling the hectic side of the holidays and sometimes I don’t know if I am coming or going! Luckily I have you guys, some good friends, and a cup of hot tea to remind me to slow down a minute and relax. I also get to take the time to share with you more fantastic Cart Sale finds and a fun addition from the Holiday Ho Ho Ho hunt.

The Sweater & Boots – Even my shoes are telling me to be calm today! These boots by De’Fient Unicorn are available at The Cart Sale and the best part (in my opinion) is the message on the sole of the shoe. It reads “Keep Calm and Activate Unicorn Power.” These shoes come in Maitreya and Slink sizes, and include a color change hud with 5 preset options. Also at the De”Fient Unicorn Cart Sale booth is this pretty playful sweater dress. I chose to wear it with jeans because, baby it’s cold outside! It comes in several mesh sizes and has a texture change hud with 5 patterned/graphic options to choose from. Also, this item has an alpha layer and is suitable for classic avatars!

Sweater Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Ebody, TMP, Fitmesh (XS-XL), Model M, Belleza (Isis, Freya, Venus) Ocacin, Tonic (Curvy, Fine), Slink (Physique, Hourglass)

The Headband – This cute pink wire reindeer antler headband is one of several 5 linden Holiday Ho Ho Ho hunt prizes at Oleander. Each of the 5 prizes includes 2 head accessories. There are two types of headbands, and fuzzy earmuffs to be found. You just need to find the “hidden in plain sight” little blue stars at the Oleander shop. I added a copy of the Holiday Ho Ho Ho hunt key for Oleander below. Happy Hunting!

Here are the details, enjoy!

Book Worm

Hello There Fab Free! Are you feeling that holiday rush yet? I know I am! I needed to take a minute, relax, and unwind. A favorite way to do that is to find a comfy spot to sit, pick a good book to read, and sip a warm cup of tea (or coffee).  DE.Boutique recently sent out this cozy over-sized sweater dress to their Subscriber group. Also, I took a little time to pop over to Fameshed and pick up the pile of free gifts waiting under the Christmas tree. For today, I’m excited to share with you the Fameshed gifts from MINA and Contraption. Keep reading for more info about each of these fantastic finds!

The Dress – This wine colored gradient sweater dress was sent out earlier this week to the DE.Boutique Subsciber group. It is called the Zoe dress, and it comes int several mesh sizes. I do want to point out that I am unsure if new subscribers will receive the free gift of not. I did try unsubscribing and re-subscribing to the DE.Boutique Subscriber, and the gift was not redelivered. However I would still encourage anyone to stop by DE.Boutique and join their Subscriber group to be sure and receive any future gifts. Also, check your inventory, if you’re already a DE.Boutique Subscriber, you may have received it.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Tonic (Curvy, Fine), Ebody, Belleza (Venus, Freya, Isis), Slink (Hourglass, Physique)

The Hair – This cute puffed up side pony is the free Fameshed group gift by MINA. The Fameshed group is free to join, and you’ll need to wear the group tag to get the gifts. You’ll find a whole pile of presents under the Fameshed Christmas tree. This hairstyle from MINA comes in a “browns” color pack, but I have to say the color range is quite broad, there are very dark almost black shades, and very deep auburn red shades along side several brunettes.

The Glasses – I love these unique glasses with their rectangular lenses. They are the free Fameshed group gift by Contraption available under the Fameshed Christmas tree. This gift includes a color/texture change hud that will let you pick from preset colors to change the color of each lens individually, as well as the frame. You will need to wear the Fameshed group tag to get the gift, however the Fameshed group is free to join.

Here are the details, enjoy!

Merry Christmas Malvada Mujer

Hello There Fab Free’rs! One thing I am certain to be excited about in both real and Second Life is free makeup. It does not happen nearly as often in real life, so thankfully there’s SL. La Malvada Mujer recently put out this cool glam grunge makeup applier set as a free gift for everyone. The set includes lipstick appliers with 3 iridescent color options, and tattoo/eye makeup appliers with 3 variations. There is an Omega applier and a Genus applier for both the lipstick and eye makeup/tattoo.

To best show how the makeup looks, I used the Omega appliers to apply the makeup to Pru’s Catwa Koura head in the photo on the left. The photo on the right shows Pru wearing the Genus Project Classic head and having used the Genus makeup appliers. I love this unique makeup look with the almost holographic looking lipstick, the stylized bee tattoo, and even the smudgy black eye-shadow on the lower lid. To get your copy of this free gift head over to La Malvada Mujer and purchase the set for zero linden. You’ll find it waiting for you on the shop’s Christmas tree.

Here are the details, enjoy!
