Sweeter Than Sweet

Alright, I’ll admit it, I’m almost as big a sucker for sweets as I am for freebies, which makes this time of year particularly dangerous. Hi there Fab Free’rs, I’m sure you’ve noticed the influx of more or less Valentine’s Day themed goodies to be had around the grid. I’ve been sneaking some pre-Valentine’s Day chocolates while wearing the latest group gift from Boubouki and the gorgeous Saturday Sale offer from Cae. Keep reading and I’ll give you more details about each of these finds, and the credits will be listed at the end as always.

Cae

I’m starting with the Saturday Sale item at Cae because it’s of course a limited time offer. This gorgeous “Ayana” jewelry set is just 75 linden. The vendor will also allow you to send this necklace and earrings set as a gift. The earrings and necklace are both able to be sized via touch menu and there is a color change hud. The hud lets you pick from several beautiful presets for the gemstones as well as the metal parts of the jewelry.

Boubouki

As I mentioned above, my pretty red crop top is a free group gift at Boubouki. At this time the Boubouki group is free to join and there are 2 group gifts available. This red top has some pretty red detailing at the bottom hem, which I completely failed to show in my photo (sorry!) and comes in several sizes. To get yours you’ll need to go to Boubouki and join the free-to-join group, then pay the gift vendor 1 linden, you’ll be instantly refunded 1 linden, and your gift will be delivered to you.

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

Silent Lucidity

Hello Fab Free, I hope everyone who participated in the candy gathering part of the Halloween festivities has successfully recovered from their sugar coma and is doing well. It it’s own way, finding great group gifts and freebies around Second Life is a lot like trick or treating minus the sugar rush. For this post I picked up the latest group gift at PumeC, a free pair of earrings at ChicChica, and the Fabulously Free in SL group gift by Birth. I hope you like them as much as I do!

PumeC

The skin I’m happily wearing is actually just half of the most recent group gift at PumeC. This generous gift includes 2 skins, one for Genus head  wearers (not shown), and one for Catwa head wearers. Both skins come in the “February” tone and have body appliers along with the head applier, cleavage options, brows or no brows, as well as 2 system layer skins. To get your copy of this beautiful skin you’ll need to join the PumeC group. There is a one time join fee of 399 linden.

Body Appliers Included: Legacy, Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, Omega

ChicChica

For what I am sure is a limited time ChicChica has out a free pair of pumpkin earrings. They come with a color change hud that has several metallic options. These pretty free earrings do not require a group at this time either, so do not wait to head over to ChicChica and pick them up.

Birth

These icy blue mesh eyes are the free Fabulously Free in SL group gift at Birth. I love the slightly heart shaped pupils, I think it gives them a unique look. These free eyes can be yours just by wearing your Fab Free group tag and clicking the gift vendor at Birth. If you’re not already a Fab Free group member, the group is always free to join.

Wisteria

Hell yeah I am a princess! This pastel hair style by Tram and the dainty pearl headband are giving me serious fantasy princess vibes. Both items are free gifts at the Hair Fair. My lavender princess transformation would not be complete without this glossy lip color by Shiny Stuffs. Oh, and the lippy by Shiny Stuffs is part of a free full palette of lip colors at The Free Dove. Keep reading for info about each of these fabulous freebies, or scroll down for full credits. Have fun Fab Free’rs!

I love the implied movement of this wispy hairstyle by Tram. It also happens to be a free gift at the Hair Fair. This pretty freebie comes in 2 pastel colors each with resize scripts. To get yours just head over to the Hair Fair and visit the Tram booth.

There is something special about pearls. This dainty pearl headband is a free gift by Cae at the Hair Fair. The headband can be sized and has a texture change hud that lets you pick from 3 preset options for the metal band, and several pearl variations.  This lovely free gift is waiting at the Cae booth at the Hair Fair.

Shiny Stuffs

I think the lip color I have on in the above photo is really beautiful. This lip gloss color is just 1 of 42 total colors in the new Shiny Stuffs gift at The Free Dove.

This free group gift at ACCESS includes the tied sweater as part of the shirt. It comes in 2 sizes and has 2 color/texture change huds. One hud is for the shirt, and the other hud is for the sweater. To get your free copy join the free-to-join ACCESS group and click the gift vendor while wearing the group tag.

The Scent Takes Me Back

A big part of nostalgia for me occurs with certain smells. The scent of a specific incense, or a certain soap, even flowers can trigger memories. I love that. Generally the memories are always pleasant ones. My nostalgic smells aside, I do have some fabulous group gifts to share with you, so let’s get to it.

The Dress

This cute blue jean dress does have a bit of nostalgia for me in that it reminds me of that time in the early ’90s when Guess jeans were all the rage, and denim everything was in style. It’s one of many free group gifts at Julia’s Scandal. I paired the dress with a low cut applier tank top for a bit of added modesty. This dress showed a bit more of my girls than I wanted. My shape however could have been the culprit. Either way, I think it’s a cute look. The Julia’s Scandal group is free to join at this time.

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

The Earrings

I know you can not see beaded the earrings I have on super well in this photo. My apologies for that, they seem to blend in with the background. I’ll include the vendor photo below so you can see these fun over-sized earrings by Indulge Temptation. They are the current Teleport Hub group gift at IT!. The earrings come in a blue and red version, and a pink and blue version, each with three metal choices. The Teleport Hub group has a one time join fee of 10 linden.

The Pose & Flower 

This pretty bento pose by Hazeel was previously a Pose Fair gift, and now can be picked up at the Hazeel pose shop, with your Hazeel group tag. The gift includes the bento pose in and out of a poseball, and the rose in pink, red, or yellow. Each rose also has a transfer version so you can pass it to others. The Hazeel group has a one time join fee of 99 linden, and there are multiple group gifts available.

So Pugly

Hey Fab Free, seems like the week is just chugging along, did we even have a weekend? lol One great thing about Tuesdays in Second Life is 25 Linden Tuesday. The too-cute top I’m wearing is the 25 Linden Tuesday item at Paper.Sparrow. I also happened across the most recent group gift at Pink Hustler. I hope you love both of these fabulous finds.

The Paper.Sparrow Top –

This version of the 25L Tuesday tee at Paper.Sparrow reads “You’re so Pugly” across the bottom. There are several of the “Francis” tees in this style, each with a different graphic priced at 25 linden each for today only. Also, the shirts have a very cute shredded back which is perfect for summer. To get yours, just head over to Paper.Sparrow before the end of the day (I’m not sure if the promotional price will be available longer) and follow the 25LT signs to the vendor. No group is required.

#LoveWins

Hello Fab Free! So as we all know by now it’s Pride Month, and I am loving all the enthusiasm I’m seeing. My Love. Your Love. Her Love. His Love. Their Love. Love wins! To continue the celebration and the proud support, I’m giddy with rainbow goodness from Reign and Luas.

Thanks to the several rainbow themed Saturday Sale items that are still available at Reign, my shoes and my drink are the most colorful they have probably ever been. The delicious looking drink comes in 2 versions, one with a static hold, and one with an animated hold. The shoes are in black, white, glitter black, and glitter white (shown) version, each in multiple sizes. Both of these rainbow-tastic Saturday Sale items at Reign, and the ones not shown here, will be available at the fabulous price of 75 linden each until this coming Saturday.

Shoe Sizes Included: Slink, Belleza, Maitreya

This long sleeve belted dress is the June group gift at Luas. It comes with a texture change hud that lets you pick from 4 presets each for the main part of the dress, the belt, and the graphic across the front. All things considered, the rainbow options were just irresistible for me anyway. This cute as heck dress comes in a few sizes and is free to all Luas VIP group members. At this time there is a one time join fee of 50 linden, and there are multiple previous group gifts available.

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

Grape Soda and a Bear Skin Rug

Oh Hi There Fab Free! Don’t mind me, I’m just daydreaming about The Joker and Harley Quinn. Am I the only one who swooned a little when in the Suicide Squad movie Joker told Harley he had grape soda and a bear skin rug waiting!? Okay, maybe I swooned a lot.  All comic book fantasies aside, I do have some fabulous free group gifts to share with you, and thanks to my sweet friend Grace, I’m gonna enjoy this grape soda.

The Skin – The sweet face Pru has is all thanks to the Kamala group gift head applier from Stix. I think the pink lips are a sweet touch. The Kamala applier is also brow-less so you can rock the no-brows alien look, or you can wear a brow applier of your choice. I am partial to the Just Magnetized brows myself. This free group gift at Stix comes with an Omega head applier in all the Stix skin tones, even the fantasy ones. Pru is wearing the “Puddin'” tone. There’s also a shape, and a set of system layer base skins. To get your copy, head over to Stix, and make sure you wear your PixyStix group tag. PixyStix is the store group, and it is free to join at this time.

The Lingerie – Okay I won’t reiterate the fact that I’m a lingerie junkie. I’ll just tell you the free group gift by MH Unique at the Avangarde Event is so sweet and sexy. I love the girly bow details. This free group gift comes in several sizes, and has a color change hud with 10 color choices. I’ve added the original ad for this Avangarde Event group gift below so you can get a better look. For this gift you’ll need to join the Avangarde Event group which is free to join.
