Dollface

Dollface

Hello again, FabFree! I am back with more gifts and goodies to show you, and I am so happy that I have been able to hole up and get more posts out in the last few days. I am in a blogger’s happy place at the keyboard this week as I head into Spring Break.

Some of the makeup I put on today gives my avatar’s appearance a bit of a doll-like appearance. I love the “Big Eyes” look it creates. It reminds me of the doll-like figures in paintings by the American artist Margaret Keane.

Catching Up With Pout!

When I took such a long break away from blogging, I missed showing you all some gifts at Pout! which I routinely enjoy blogging. As you know, I love to blog Lelutka EvoX makeup products and they have come out with a number of awesome gifts this year that I need to show you. All of the group gifts at Pout! are free when you join their free group.

I am wearing the following Pout! group gifts:

  • Agatha Eyeshadow & Blush– this was a gift that came out last February. It includes a BOM makeup pack designed for Lelutka EvoX heads. The blush, cheek heart tattoo, and eyeshadows are all separate layers that you can mix and match. That’s one of the amazing qualities of Pout!’s products- you can customize it how you want. If you don’t want to wear the heart, it is super easy to remove from other parts of the set. The eye shadows are striking on this one and look a bit like a doll. It’s a great gift!
  • Halloween Lipsticks Matte & Glossy – this was a group gift that came out around Halloween 2022, but I didn’t get around to blogging it until now. The lipstick is fantastic! This item comes in an HD applier for Lelutka EvoX heads. The lipstick comes in several bright colours- orange, red, green and black- in matte or glossy options. I am wearing the glossy version of the red and it is oh-so-shiny. What an amazing free gift!

As these gifts are so versatile, they can definitely be used in outfits that aren’t themed around a holiday. So, customize and use them all year!

Back to TRUTH

It has been a while since I blogged one of the TRUTH group gifts. This is an older past gift as well, but I rejoiced when TRUTH made all of their past group gifts free for group members last fall. For many years, it cost a lot of money to buy these past VIP fatpacks, and I did spend a lot of money on many of them over time. I am just happy that they are gifts now for everyone who is a member of the group.

The style I am wearing today is called “Tinsley” and you can style it in many different ways. I opted for the updo look today, but it also has options for the hair to flow over your shoulders in different ways. The fatpack includes many hairstyle options you can change via a style HUD, as well as many colour HUDs in different packs (reds, blondes, selection, jewels, pastels, etc.)

Ninety on the Marketplace

Lastly, I have a cool dollarbie from the Marketplace to share. A store called Ninety has a tonne of dollarbies available on their Marketplace store. I am wearing a crystal necklace from them which only costs 1L on the Marketplace. The necklace includes a HUD to change the colour and style of the crystals. I used to have a crystal necklace just like this in RL, so I love this!

See you again soon, FabFree!

There’s yet another new free group gift over at Nova.  The long and flowing hair I’ve got on is called Glow and comes with an exclusive colour palette that always makes me smile.  To get yours, just join the Nova group for free then head over to the board that’s to the left of the entrance and grab it – there’s a whole bunch of free gifts here, and they’re all super cute.  Full disclosure – my head is a little big so I had to add some bangs to hide a little spot in the front.  But it still looks guuuuuud.

Time for a little sweet treat.  I deserve it.  And I’d say so do you!

Blue Monday

Blue Monday

Today is supposedly Blue Monday, which is said to be the saddest day of the year (though I always think of that amazing song by New Order).  In order to combat any possible sad vibes, I’m here in as many bright colours as I can lay my hands on!

First!

My hothouse bloom-covered dress is perfect for a day where you need a pick me up.  Even better, it’s completely free, and around these parts we know that that’s a definite pick me up!  You can grab it over at Saussi when you activate your FabFree inworld group tag.  Our group is always free to join, and you’ll find about a bajillion free gifts in our listing, which is updated all the time.  Plus, if you ask my humble opinion… our group members are the best on the grid.

Sizes

  • Freya
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Reborn
  • Reborn Juicy

Second!

There’s nothing that will pick me up more than a lovely free hairstyle.  I’m showing off one of the latest free group gifts from Nova, who have a whole board (head left as you enter the store) filled with free hairstyles in bright colours to cheer anyone up.  Join the Nova group for free, click on the photos on the board, and this lovely hairstyle (called Voile) is all yours.  Yum!

You’ve got this!

Cover it in Rainbows

Cover it in Rainbows

Aren’t rainbows awesome?  Not only do they represent both Pride and peace, they’re also just really pretty.  I could probably wear rainbows every day of the year and be as happy as a clam.  The moment June rolls around, I am busy flitting all over the grid picking up as many of these ROY G. BIV creations as I possibly can.  It may be a bit of an obsession!

In the Name of Love

The latest group gift from Luas has hit the scene, and I must say that I am entirely obsessed with it.  The dress and shoes are both included in this awesomeness.  The dress comes with an HUD to change to all sorts of pretty colours, even one option that makes the dress fully rainbow (yes!), so you’re sure to find something that floats your boat.  The Luas group is 50L to join, and you’ll find a whole huge wall of awesome group gifts there while you’re at it.

Sizes

  • Freya
  • Kupra
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya Petite
  • Maitreya
  • Legacy Perky

Just as an aside, my nails are also pride themed – you can get a huge nail applier set at Alaskametro for just 75L – it comes with so many options, and they’re just so pretty that I thought you might want to have a look!

Rainbows everywhere!

Puppies Don’t Need to Social Distance!

Epiphany Goodies

Hey gang,

Can you imagine I had *never* been to The Epiphany before this week???  So seriously what is wrong with me?  I had a *blast* and I found some awesome goodies to share with you.  I’m not sure how much longer Epiphany runs for so, if you want to go play in the plethora (my favorite word lately, can you tell??) of Gachas, go soon! But for the moment, let’s see what fun stuff I found!

You should always have a sidekick

My first fun goodie is my little Pomsky from HEXtraordinary.  He is animated and sooooooo cute (you can tell I have a thing by now for the pups!), he even looked up and what I was holding for the picture!  The gacha for these little guys is 75L

Speaking of what I am holding…

My sign, is from Nerth and was a 50L gacha.  Yes, I realize the whole pandemic is *finally* winding down a bit (yay!), but as an introvert, I have always hated people I don’t know getting in my personal space.  I mean, is it really necessary to bump me with your shopping cart repeatedly when we are both standing in line and the line is not moving?  I think the six feet rule should stay in place.  You stay in your space, I will stay in mine.  After all I have *always* followed this rule by staying out of the space of strangers, I think they should extend the same courtesy to me.  I *really* wanted to the sign saying “up for adoption” but didnt get it.  It would have been fun to see if anyone adopted me.  😉

The Jewels, Oh the jewels!

The lovely jewels on my forehead are from Okiya.  They were a rare from a 50L gacha.

Yes the backdrop too!

The building behind me is from ninety.  This was a 50L gacha.  It had all different buildings that you could use to make your own street!

Play in the Paint

Play in the Paint

I’ve been going through a bit of an artistic phase.  Some phases are a bit more prevalent than others, but since I’ve been spending much more time at home (as one does these days), I’ve been picking up my paintbrush a bit more often than I had been doing in the past.  I’m a great proponent of making lemonade out of lemons, so my rediscovered love of making art falls squarely into the making the best of it category!  I picked up a few fun, free finds today that really reminded me of how happy I am that I’ve got loads of paint to be creative with.

Hunting Time

It’s time for this month’s edition of The Free Dove hunts!  The featured designers this time around are Ydea Style and Shiny Stuffs.  The way this hunt works is that you have to join the free Free Dove group, then look for 5 hidden items at The Free Dove, and 5 at both Ydea Style and Shiny Stuffs!  If you’re searching for goodies from Ydea Style, then you’re looking for a little cupcake, and if it’s Shiny Stuffs you’re hankering for, then look for the little powder compact.  It’s all free, and it’s all fab!  I got this jean skirt from the offerings of  Ydea Style, and the shirt and sparkly tears come courtesy of Shiny Stuffs.  Take a peek at the hunt keys below!

Sizes

  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Legacy
  • Maitreya
  • Isis (skirt only)

 

You’ve got until May 31st to take part, so happy hunting!

Finding Some Holiday Spirit

Finding Some Holiday Spirit

With Thanksgiving looming (I know I said I wouldn’t celebrate, but the rest of my extended family does.) and Christmas ever approaching, I felt the need to inspire a bit of the holiday spirit in myself. I put on a comfy somewhat Christmas-like outfit, even got out the reindeer antlers just for fun. Turned on some holiday music, hung some flashy snowflakes in my kitchen, and got to baking. This year I decided to challenge myself with Crème Brulee. After a couple of tries, I think I’ve got it down! Now to whip up a practice batch of Christmas cookies… not because I really need to practice making them, but rather I want to practice eating them. 😛

Beusy 

You can get yourself into the spirit of the season, or just look extra cute by heading over to Beusy and taking advantage of their Black Friday sale. Everything in the store is marked 60% off. Regular hairstyles are 100L per color pack, however gachas are 25L per play. I took advantage of the sale on gachas. This cute fatpack shoulder-length style with optional reindeer antlers is the Rare gacha prize in the “Once Upon Eve” machine. At 25 linden per play you really can’t go wrong, especially if you take someone with you who is willing to trade! This Black Friday Sale at Beusy ends Nov. 28th.

LS Store

Also, this long t-shirt style dress with “LOVE” in block lettering on the front is a free gift at LS Store for the Mesh Body Friends group. You’ll need to join the free-to-join Mesh Body Friends group in order to get your gift. This dress has a color change hud with several colorful choices, and 2 grey and white combinations.

Sizes Included: Maitreya Lara, Classic Mesh (xxs-L) + Alpha Layer, TMP, Slink (Physique, Hourglass), Belleza (Freya, Venus, Isis)
