Bring On Victoria Day Weekend

Bring On Victoria Day Weekend

Happy Victoria Day weekend, FabFree! Cheers to a 3 day weekend for all the Canadians out there! This a fun little holiday we have down in Canada which is generally seen as an opening weekend for all things summer. Lots of Canadians open up their cottages this weekend or host a celebratory summer party or barbeque. In case you didn’t know, Victoria Day in Canada celebrates Queen Victoria, one of Britain’s longest-reigning monarchs in history. This holiday is a uniquely Canadian tradition and Canadians have been celebrating the Monday before May 25th as a celebration of Queen Victoria since 1845.

Oh Joy.

In a true Queen Victoria fashion, this pretty updo is a group gift available for all members of the TRUTH group. This is an older gift, but a classic and one of my favourite hairstyles of all time. The hairstyle can be styled in several different ways, and it includes a fatpack of colour packs. You will find it among all the past group gifts at TRUTH. Their VIP group currently costs 350L to join. TRUTH currently has a few Saturday Sale offers out for the weekend to check out too, but those offers exceed our FabFree budget at 100L per style. Go check them out, though, because I love all things TRUTH!

RUVA

RUVA has a whole wall of group gifts. Just join their group for 1L to get them. These gifts are mostly BOM makeup gifts for Lelutka EvoX heads. Today I am wearing the blossom eyeshadows, which come in a number of colours.

Sizes Included

  • BOM layers for Lelutka EvoX

Let’s aim to have a joyful summer this year, FabFree!

Merry, Happy!

Merry, Happy!

It’s a happy, merry day, FabFree. Happy Easter Monday!

A Wee Gift

You may all remember that Starla blogged a really cute VIP group gift that TRUTH Hair recently released here. As it turns out, TRUTH has a second new VIP gift available at their mainstore as well. I am wearing “Merry”, and you will find it on the group gift wall. The hairstyle includes several style HUD options, and you can wear it with or without a holiday bow. It includes a full fatpack of colour huds with style options. TRUTH‘s VIP group costs 350L to join.

Enjoy, FabFree!

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!

'Tis the Season for Spooks

It seems like all we are showing lately are spooky goods! How can you resist? ‘Tis the season for spooks, and I am enjoying every moment. I have a host of spooky offers to share today and quite a few of theses are limited-time sales, so let’s get down to it so you don’t miss ’em.

In the first shot of my complete look today, I have the following fab offers to share with you all:

  • My shoes are another hunt prize from Starlight Apparell @ The Haunted Hunt at Malus Park. I am wearing the orange edition of the Parris shoes in today’s look, a hunt prize which costs 20L. These sneakers fit Belleza, Maitreya, Legacy, Star, Reborn, Kupra and Slink. I blogged more of their hunt prizes in my previous post here.

Half-Evil

Half-Evil

Hey Fabs! Today I put together a casual look with a bit of spookiness thrown into the mix. It just goes to show that you can show off your love for all things spooky without going into full costume mode.

333

The Bold Llama has some awesome tops out for 20L a piece on the ATCSL Kink or Treat Hunt. Note that there are a number of adult-related hunt prizes on this hunt hosted on the Short Leash sim, so be aware of that before visiting this event as it is an adult sim. The theme of the hunt is another Halloween Hunt. The offering from The Bold Llama is 5 Tees, which each have a fun spooky print on them for 20L per prize. I am wearing the “half evil” tee, with “333” branded on it ( half of 666- the sign of the devil). See the hunt key below for a preview of the other fun tees available on this hunt.

Sizes Included

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

The Haunted Hunt @ Malus Park

Another Halloween Hunt I have to report about today is the Haunted Hunt @ Malus Park. You will find a few designers have set put hunt prizes around the Malus Park sim that each cost between 0 and 20L. I am featuring some of the prizes from Starlight Apparel in my look today, which cost 20L each. From them, I am featuring:

  • Another edition of the Parris Sneakers in the “Boo” pattern, which is adorned with ghosts, pumpkins, and bats. These shoes are fitted for Belleza, Maitreya, Legacy, Star, Reborn, Kupra and Slink.
  • The bone necklace, which comes in rainbow colours and black chains, is another hunt prize sized for Freya, Isis, Venus, eBODY Classic & Curvy, Tonic Curvy & Fine, Physique, Hourglass, Lara, and Legacy.

Half-Evil II

Irenka

The last gift I have to share in my post tonight is this fabulous hairstyle from TRUTH. This is another gift from their past group gifts. This style is called Irenka and it includes options with or without the hat. Several colour huds are included. There is a long version of the hairstyle included in the pack too, but we may be able to show you that in another blog post at some point! The VIP TRUTH group costs 350L to join, and lots of past group gifts are available.

Have fun, FabFree!

Give Thanks

Coming Soon

Happy Thanksgiving! I am also celebrating Thanksgiving from Canada today, and I got dressed up to go have dinner with the fam later. Cheers! I have some gifts and free prizes to show today too, so let’s dig in!

The Floodgates are Open at TRUTH!

I am happy to report that past group gifts are now available for free for VIP group members of the TRUTH Hair group. There are 28 fantastic mesh hairstyles available as past group gifts, which include full fatpacks. The extensive colour huds and options are fantastic in each style. Most of the packs include style HUDs as well. For many years, these past group gifts cost VIP group members of TRUTH Hair 500L per fatpack, so this is simply amazing that the gifts have opened up for all- especially new members who never got the past gifts. Note that these are the mesh hair gifts before TRUTH started designing alpha hair. Today I am wearing the “Athena” hairstyle, which is one of my favourite past group gifts from this amazing hair creator.

TRUTH will continue to come out with group gifts every few months or so, but any future gifts are only available for the limited time they are available (usually at least 2-3 months), and future gifts will not be available as past group gifts. TRUTH is the absolute must-have group in my opinion because the group gifts are fantastic! It’s just an added bonus that all the past gifts are free for group members now! The TRUTH group currently costs 350L to join, and it is well worth the join fee.

Back To the Board

My BOM lipstick is from another fatpack I won from the free Midnight Madness board at Booty’s Beauty. You need to join their free group to slap the board each day. This lipstick set comes in a full pack of colours in BOM layers for Lelutka EvoX heads.

Have a great day, FabFree!

Summer Peace

Coming Soon

Summer is all about dipping in the pool and grabbing a beer! At least that’s how I like to spend mine as it puts me in a peaceful state of mind. 🙂

Agar

My pretty necklace is a freebie at Belle Epoque. I was at the store spending the free credits Aline blogged all about here, and I stumbled on the Second Life Free’s and Offers (SLF&O) group gift at the store. The SLF&O group is free to join and the gift is the lovely Agar necklace.

Them Lips

I was trying to spend all my SL19B gift credits the other day and it was a marathon! I’m still not done spending. You can read all about the credits in my post here, which has been recently updated. I’m showing you what I bought at Nuve with my free credits today. I headed over to their mainstore and checked out their discount section, where I found a pack of smashing lipsticks. They come in two different packs. These are an HD applier for Lelutka Evolution, but they work great on my Lelutka EvoX head! Each pack costs 108L and you can use your credits to get both and still have some left over. These lipstick packs are a great deal and oh so pretty.

See below for more FabFree coverage of SL19B:

I’m going to dip in the pool now. Bye!

… in a place, that perhaps you’ve seen in your dreams…

in a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams

Well, hello there, FabFree. I want you to know… I resisted for as long as I could. But the Spooky Season is upon us. And I must embrace it! Especially when I find such wonderful spooky things at the Shop and Hop.

My gorgeous get up is “Morgana” from Malified. Now this is a new to me designer but I am so impressed! All the things in their Shop booth look just as awesome as this ensemble, I had a hard time not emptying my wallet right there! I’m glad I took the time to look around because there were several other free gifts scattered around to find. Morgana comes with everything you need even the shoes and stockings!

Sizes Included

  • Maitreya

Then I found the perfect accessory to complete my look. This horned crown, called ‘Bella Donna’, is from Narcisse and it’s their free gift. You can change the size and position as well as change the color of the roses and the pearls. It looks like it was just made for me!

The Halloween Shop and Hop runs until October 31st so you have plenty of time to explore it all!

A Bit of September Birdwatching

Happiness Blooms from Within

Hello Fab Readers!  I hit the hunt trail again this weekend and discovered a cheery dress that I picked up completely for free.  All I had to do was invest a small amount of time doing some “birding” (more on that below) and it was completely worth it.

Packed with Options

This vibrant frock is the first free hunt prize from GGVG in The Free Dove’s September Hunt.  It features an off-the-shoulder fit, layered sleeves, and a slightly flared skirt.  In addition, the generous designer included a texture change HUD with 20 bold selections for the floral print.  Honestly, it was hard to choose my favorite one for the photo!   There are five gifts from GGVG concealed on the Free Dove sim (I found this beauty there) and an additional 5 scattered throughout the GGVG main store location.  In order to collect the items, you need to be a member of The Free Dove group, but it’s completely free to join.  You’ll be searching for a small, reddish-brown, and yellow feathered friend.  The hunt runs through September 30th.

Mesh Body Compatibility

  • Classic – M (no alpha layer)
  • Fitmesh – M
  • Belleza Frey, Isis and Venus
  • Maitreya
  • Ocacin
  • Slink Hourglass and Physique
  • Tonic Curvy and Fine
  • Voluptuous

Until next time, happy hunting!

A Vintage Vixen

A Vintage Vixen
Hello Fabulous Readers!  Have you checked out the Fifth Anniversary Celebration for Bundles yet?  This autumn-themed event runs through September 25th and features 31 designers, many of whom are offering gifts along with their displays.  I have to admit, despite my name, I do start longing for the crisp days of autumn as the heat of summer drags on.  What better way to anticipate fall than to wander around a sim drenched in scattered leaves and pick up free goodies along the way?

Simply Chic

One of my favorite of the free items at Bundles is this Lace Dress from Nilsy.  With its pale pink hue, semi-sheer lace, and full skirt, this frock is the picture of classic elegance.  I don’t know, maybe I am a bit of an old soul, but I love vintage style!  With elbow-length sleeves and a high neckline, it will transition beautifully as summer fades away so I will be able to wear it well into fall.  Since this gift is completely free, you can add a new outfit to your collection without making the slightest dent in your budget!

Sizes and Mesh Compatibility

  • Fitmesh in XS, S, M, L, XL (includes alpha layer)
  • Mesh Fit in XS, S, M, L, SL
  • Maitreya
  • Slink

Until next time,

– Wren –
