Irish(ish)

The slogan “Irish(ish)” seen on my top today speaks to me. I have Northern Irish heritage, but I have never really been to Ireland and I don’t always identify with Irish culture. As my family was originally from Northern Ireland, they often act British and do a lot of British things like drink tea and eat Hob Nobs. I guess I am Irish(ish)! Anywho, I have some fun and affordable Irish-themed tees to share today, as well as free lipstick and skin, so let’s look at what I found!

St. Patty’s Tee’s

The Bold Llama is offering two great t-shirts for the FabFree St. Patty’s Day Hunt.

• On the left, I am wearing “The Irish-ish Tee”, which costs 5L on the hunt. The hint to find it is, “lucky rainbows, lucky clovers & lucky letters!”
• On the right, I am wearing “The Clover Tee”. It is only 3 L on our hunt. Here is the hint to help you search for it, “llamas love everyone – particularly group members!”

Sizes Included (Tees)

• Freya
• Isis
• Venus
• Legacy
• Lara
• Tonic Curvy & Fine
• Ocacin
• Ebody
• Slink Hourglass & Physique
• TMP
• eBODY Classic
• Standard Sizes

Lip Power

My really pretty lipstick is another free gift available at Pout! This is their gift for the SL-MHBC group, but the gift is set to the main Pout! group. So, join the Pout! group for free and grab a beautiful set of lipsticks for free. You will find this gift under the green SL-MHBC group sign at Pout!. It’s called “Lip Power HD Lipsticks”. The lipsticks come in 6 colours in solid and blended versions.

Sizes Included (Lipstick)

• HD Applier for Lelutka EvoX

Carly

My pretty skin is a group gift from Voguel. Starla originally blogged the gift here. I thought it may be worth mentioning again because the fabulous “Carly” skin is a really beautiful and detailed gift. It comes in a full fatpack of tones and it works with Velour skin tones. On a side note, I always use the free neck fix from Velour to match these types of tones to whatever body skin I am currently wearing, and it usually works really well.

Sizes Included (Skin)

• Lelutka EvoX BOM Layers

The Voguel group currently costs 10L to join, and you get this female skin as well as a men’s skin fatpack when you join the group for that low fee. Both of Voguel‘s group gift skins work on Lelutka EvoX heads only. See Starla’s linked posts below for her original features on these group gift skins from Voguel.

• Starla’s original post featuring the Carly skin is here.
• Starla’s original post featuring the Billy skin on her malt Vinny is here.
• Another shot of Vinny wearing the male skin can be seen really well in Starla’s post here as well.

Have fun, FabFree!

The Kissing Booth

Hey FabFree! Want to come visit me at the kissing booth as I prepare for Valentine’s day?

I am back with another post tonight with awesome finds from Free Dove. Everything is free when you join their free group. Go quickly to get these! I am not sure how much longer it will be open.

• The cute watermelon earrings are from Magnetic, and they come in gold and silver options.
• My skin is from Magnetic, and it is sized for Lelutka EvoX and Legacy, and Lara. It comes in 4 skin tones and it is a very beautiful full-body BOM skin.
• The bellbottom jeans are from Tastic, and they fit Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, Hourglass, Tonic Fine & Curvy, Legacy & Classic Sizes (XXS-L). They include a HUD of several denim colours. These are a classic staple in my inventory, so I had to show off that these are free before Free Dove closes.
• The sweater – which comes in one red bohemian texture- is from Poeme. It fits Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Freya, Isis, Venus, eBODY Classic, TMP, Ocacin & Fitmesh (XS-XL).
• The shoes are from StephaneL and they fit Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink. These are a full fatpack that includes options to change each part of the shoe to many different colours.

On the 6th Day of Christmas…

Hello Dear Fabbies.  First of all, I apologize for vanishing for over a week.  To make it quick and move on with the post I’ll give you a short FYI:  I suffer from numerous health problems that tend to kick me off my feet for days at a time.  Ok let’s move on!

Today I’m doing something a little different for these Days of Christmas posts.  I cannot decide if I want to do only 12, or do the full number on Advent calendars.  However, the next few will be catch up and will cover stores that have Advent calendars with gifts available through Christmas.  If you have an opinion on any of this, feel free to voice it in the comments below!

So for Day 6, I am bringing you 3 dresses and 3 pairs of shoes from Pink Mango.  This fun store has a 24 day advent calendar for group members and the group is FREE to join.  Once joined, just click the day you want and voila!  And as I stated above, all days so far that are past are still available.  For FREE!  The pretty sweater top and skirt set above that I am wearing are the gift from Day 12.  And the heels are Day 13.  Here is the fit information for you:

Outfit:

• Standard fitmesh sizes XS through XL
• Maitreya
• Slink Physique
• Belleza Venus

Heels:

• Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus
• Slink Hourglass & Physique
• Maitreya

This second outfit includes the beautiful, metallic minidress from Day 6 and the copper boots from Day 11.  Again the fits are:

Dress:

• Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus
• eBody
• Slink Hourglass & Physique
• Maitreya
• TMP
• Tonic Fine & Curvy
• Standard mesh in S, M & L

Boots:

• Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus
• Slink Hourglass & Physique
• Maitreya

This final outfit includes the pink sequin dress from Day 14 and purple sandal wedges from Day 9.  Once more the fits…

Dress:

• Belleza Freya, Isis & Venus
• eBody
• Slink Hourglass & Physique
• Maitreya
• TMP
• Standard mesh sizes XXS through L

Boots:

• Belleza
• Slink
• Maitreya

I also have to share this beautiful skin from AnneLand called Jade.  With your purchase you receive the BOM face skin in normal and no brow versions, a neck fix and the ear tattoo.  This fits Lelutka Evo X.  AnneLand skins are made to coordinate with Velour body skins and Jade comes in tones ranges Blush through Sunkiss.  I am wearing Sienna in the no brow option and added some eyebrows I had in my inventory.  The skins are absolutely stunning and the reason I am telling you about them here on FabFree is because the entire store is 80% off through December 31st!!!  If you haven’t already, go check them out!

Finally, one last amazing deal is this set of props and poses I am using.  It is from Fashiowl, which has the most amazing prop/backdrop/pose sets I have ever seen.  This particular set I am using is called “Thanks” and it was perfect for this “Christmas tree shopping in California” shoot.  Your purchase comes with the set, which you can sit on and choose poses from the menu, a pose stand, and all 12 poses individually.  All this for only L$60 right now!  But grab it quick because it’s on sale for the 60L$ Happy Weekend.  The far background of tropical plants and the sand are part of the sim I took these photos on, which of course I will credit below.

Side note…I just realized as I was doing the credits that three of the items I am wearing have the same name, and that was totally not planned!  See if you can spot it below…

Until next time!

On the 4th Day of Christmas…

We are ready for Day 4 and I decided to get all comfy and cozy for this one. Do not miss all of the FabFree advent calendar posts, or the Advent Calendar Listing!

I absolutely adore this tree swing, which is the gift from Day 3 at Kim’s Kreations, and still available for FREE with no group needed. The swing includes several animation choices, you can see 2 of them in the photos in this post. It is also a grand total of only 6 Li.

Now for my cozy outfit…This is today’s gift at Pink&Love which includes the hoodie and the pants. The gifts from here are FREE with group tag, which is FREE to join. It comes with fits available for:

• Belleza Freya
• Kupra
• Legacy
• Maitreya
• Slink Hourglass

The blue bunny slippers are the gift at the Veles Shopping center from Antaya for Day 3, available still for L$15, no group needed. These fit both Maitreya and Reborn feet only.

Isn’t this hair and hate cute? It is part of the Advent Calendar at MadPea as a free gift for HUD buyers (purchase the HUD for L$500). This particular gift through the HUD is from Lock&Tuft. The hair/hat comes with a male style and this female style, all with HUDs for changing the hair and hat textures.

The skin I am wearing as well as the eyes are both from 7 Deadly Skins. The skin is a full BOM body skin and fits Lelutka Evo X heads. This particular skin comes in 7 tones with no eyebrow versions included for each as well. I am wearing the lightest option – Taupe. The eyes are a beautiful dark blue and include mesh versions and a Lelutka Evo X HUD. Both are included in the December 4th gift, free for 7DS group members, which is L$500 to join.

Finally, I’m wearing one of the lipstick options from Noyaux for Day 4. The HUD is for Lelutka Evo X heads and has 12 beautiful wintery color choices. The gifts at Noyaux are FREE with no group needed.

Until next time!

Skins on Sale at Boataom

Well made skins are something you invest in. Typically you don’t find amazing skins for super cheap unless there is a sale. And today I got VERY lucky and found a sale at one of my favorite skin stores: Boataom. Not all their skins are on sale, but three are: Beatrice, Maxine and Trinity (available in several tones each); all fit for Lelutka Evo X. They are only L$99 and on sale until September 10th. I had to share this deal with you because I thought it was incredible (even though it’s a bit over our 75L limit)!

The next three photos I wanted to include so that you could see each skin a little more closeup and with clear lighting.

First up is Beatrice in the “Latina” tone. She has a European look. I wore her with the Original/Normal Cleavage Boataom body skin (not on sale).

Next I am showing “Maxine” in the AF/AM tone. She is African American and I really like this tone so much. I wore her with the Chubby/Cleavage Boataom body skin option (not on sale).

Finally is “Trinity” in the Esiana tone. This one appears more Asian and I’m wearing it with the Soft/Small Cleavage Boataom body skin (not on sale).

Don’t miss out on this amazing deal for these 3 skins! Be sure to try on demos before you buy so you can find what fits you best. Oh and the body skins are only L$350 per body option! The ones I am wearing are for my Maitreya Lara body.

Spring Breaker

Spring Break!

I was so fixated on St. Patty’s Day that I forgot to blog about Spring Break! It was spring break for me last week. Maybe you’re ready for a break soon, so it’s time to celebrate and jump into spring goodness! Ari-Pari has the perfect outfit out for 1L on the Spring Break Hunt by Cheeky Monkey Hunts. It includes a 5 colour hud of bright shorts and floral tops. This hunt ends on March 31st!

• Legacy

Last-Minute Weekend Finds

I have a few more weekend finds for you! These are limited-time so here they are:

• My pretty eyes are a free hunt prize on the Green Freaks Hunt. Go here to find all the LMs! You are looking for a little gold coin with a shamrock on it, which is free at every store.The hunt ends on March 27th so you have to go fast! These eyes are from lovelysweet and you will find them at The Stringer Mauseleum. They include 4 green and blue eye colours, with BOM layer and Catwa, Lelutka and Omega appliers.
• My pretty black lipstick is a free gift at Skin Fair 2022. You will find this gift in Spookshow’s booth at Skin Fair. The gift includes this pretty lipstick in black, orange and purple and it comes in BOM layers for Lelutka EvoX. There are a few gifts at Skin Fair, but they aren’t in every booth! Take a look around at all the skins and any freebies and dollarbies that pop up. Some other stores that I found had gifts from at the event were 7 Deadly s[K]ins (free freckles), IVES Beauty (2 free skin fatpacks), The Stringer Mauseleum (a free blue and yellow skin and free eye testers) , KoKoLoReS (free hairbases), Evermore (free skin), Dernier (a free fatpack of skins), Lowen (a fatpack of skin and shape for 1L each), and tres beau (free tears and eye makeup). There is no way to directly teleport to each booth unfortunately, so hopefully my tips help you collect these great gifts more quickly and you can go find the designer booths at Skin Fair. Everything at the Skin Fair shuts down on March 28th!

Enjoy, FabFam!

I’m Lucky Tonight

St. Patty’s Day may be over, but the FabFree St. Patty’s Day Hunt is still raging on until March 25th. Let’s dig into a few more gifts from the hunt!

First off, my pretty skin is a prize from 7 Deadly s[K]ins. they have several versions of this skin in the hunt package with beauty marks, lip gloss, browless and other features. I’m wearing the version with freckles! The skin is BOM, designed for Genus heads and you get the full set for only 5 Linden.

My cute little shamrock tattoo on my face is the hunt prize at new.monday. There’s also a cute rainbow face tattoo on the hunt there too! Both prizes are free!

There’s some other St. Patty’s-themed hunts still available to do on the grid. One of those is the
Lucky Tonight Hunt 5, which has some adorable prizes! I love the prize from Ari-Pari, which is this cute crop top and shorts set, which you can change to several colour options via a hud. The prize costs only 1L!

Sizes Included

Other Fun Finds

I had the chance to go all-out shopping last week, so I picked up a few more freebies to add to this outfit.

• The pretty shamrock earrings are a free FabFree group gift at REA Fashions. The set includes a necklace too! The detail on these is excellent.
• I decided to follow Desi’s advice here, and pick up the free 250L store credit group gift at Wicked Brat. I’m wearing the “Angel Eyes” which I got for free with my credit. Thanks Desi for the heads up! You can read all about it in her post here.
• Finally, I found a great set of nailpolishes from Alaskametro at Free Dove. This is the “Alaska’s favs” collection and they are amazing! I love these nails. They include Omega and Maitreya appliers. See the picture below for the image of nail colours! I picked the glittery silver polish, but there are many options to choose from as you can see!

See you soon,

Yule Review

Good evening, FabFree. I know I rather don’t look like myself this evening but I had to take advantage of the remarkable new free mesh head available at Bespoke. I don’t often get the pleasure of seeing such high quality accessories coming around for the men of Second Life so I grasped this opportunity with some excitement.

This is the “Yule – Elf” head from Bespoke as I said and you can pick it up for free along with four different colored skins at the mainstore. The head comes with two shapes, one male and one female. Both are very well made as are the skins. Yule also includes:
• BoM Head/Body skin “Wood”
• Rigged eyes, eyelashes, mouth
• 6 eye colors
• AO HUD
• Eyebrow Tattoos (BoM)

I can honestly say I like this head and the shape that comes with it. The shape is not simply a handsome human with pointy ears. The shape and proportions of both head and body are very ‘other’. That said, the head responds fully to the slider system and can be made into your preferred shape easily. I left the shape untouched except for two things. I did make the head to body ratio slightly larger and I made the hands slightly smaller.  Simply personal preference, I would consider this head and shape ready to use ‘right out of the box’.

I did encounter a few minor issues. I felt the eyes did not fit inside the sockets well. They clipped a bit at the corners. However this could easily be changed or tweeked. It didn’t help that I wasn’t 100% happy with the colors of eyes offered but that is purely a personal preference and no bad mark against Bespoke. The other issue I had was the AO. The AO runs through a menu that I felt was a bit clunky. The animations were well done but a bit inconvenient to access. All said, I would not consider any of this a reason to not get this head and enjoy it’s use.

I want to say something about the skins both included and the four extra skins available. These are simply some of the best skins I have encountered in Second Life. They are truly astonishing. The details are both subtle and gorgeous. Even if you decide not to use them with the Yule head they are a stunning addition to your wardrobe.

I am uncertain as to how long the Yule head and the skins will be available but it is described as a “Season’s Gift”. If you would like to get this excellent elfin head and skins don’t delay.

Sea Friends

Hey FabFree! Tonight I am showing off some awesome free sea pets, how to make a free fully bento, BOM, and mesh mermaid avatar, and free skins and shapes on the FabFree enchanted forest hunt!

The Tale of the Orca and the Starfish

The first thing I want to mention are my adorable underwater pets. As you might recall, I love animals and I also love fish and underwater creatures! This amazing and precious Orca is free gift at SL18B and you have just enough time to go grab him because the event ends tomorrow. This will be my last SL18B find to share and I am super sad about it, because I just loved this event. However, this beautiful gift by Jian is simply amazing. The Orca swims along with your avatar and it even does water tricks! It is just magical watching her/him swim underwater. Go grab this Orca for free at Jian’s booth at SL18B before it’s too late. 

The other cute little animal shown in my post today is the adorable starfish, who you will see has little cute, pouting eyes. This is a fish I caught with my 7Seas casual fishing rod for free. The rod costs 99L to buy, but you can catch free outfits with it (remember Aline and Arielles recent Sn@tch fishing post here?). While waiting for outfits, I have caught a lot of fish too and they are actually really cute pets! Many are animated, can swim around you, or you can rezz them in a tank or aquarium. They are too cute to delete. I just love this little starfish guy, and you can see a close-up of his little face below. 

Free Mermaids, anyone?

The other finds I want to share today are items that can be used to make a full, free BOM, Bento mesh mermaid avatar. 

The OpenMerTail

My mermaid tail is a free fully bento (moving) mesh tail- how cool is that! It’s like a total extension of your avatar. This tail moves and twists like a mesh avatar but the trick is to get the right bento ao for it to make full use of the bento features. The tail also includes fins which can be worn or detached. There is more information about this awesome bento, BOM mesh tail in the package, but it is all totally free on the Marketplace. This tail can be used on male, female and non-binary avatars. Because the OpenMerTail is its own mesh avatar part, you need to find and use BOM skins designed for the tail itself, and there is also a pack for creators and designers to make new skins for it! The tail is a full perm item. Note that a bento mermaid AO is not included in the package. 

Sizes Included

• Maitreya Lara
• Belleza Freya
• Belleza Jake
• Legacy Athletic
• Must Trade Bara

And here is a list of more free items I used to make my mermaid avatar:

• I mentioned above how you will need skins for your new tail. Motley Fluke has several skins for the tail available for free on their marketplace store. The blue tail skin I am wearing can be purchased here for free. These tail skins are BOM and work only on the free mermaid tail advertised above. 
• The stars pasties used to cover up my chest are another freebie on the marketplace. These stars are by Yama’s Ideas and they are unrigged, resizable mesh items. I just resized them manually to fit my avatar perfectly. The mesh pasties come in many different colours. 
• The little bubbles below are a free animation by Stargaze on the marketplace designed for mermaid avatars. These are so realistic and perfect for creating realism of moving in the water. 
• Finally, the skin used on my mermaid avatar is a free prize on the FabFree Enchanted Forest Hunt. This is one of several hunt prizes from 7 Deadly S[K]ins. The natural skin, untouched with no makeup, can be seen in my photo below. I am also wearing a free shape included in the hunt, but I just edited the tummy of the shape to fit the mermaid tail. The vendor ad of all the 7DS skins available for free on the hunt is posted below. These skin prizes are BOM and they include shapes and tattoos for Lelutka Evo elf ears as well. 

When you add all these parts together, you will have a full bento, mesh, BOM mermaid avatar! Enjoy the mermaid and the orca, FabFree!
