Gorgeous Group Gifties

Just a quick post tonight to share with you this amazing skin that I picked up for only 1L!  Brilliance Skin Gogo, shown here in rose 2 med/dark is also available in a lighter shade from Deetalez to group members.  The best thing is, the group is free to join.  The skins come with additional features (not shown here) such as add-ons for prim nails, freckles, push up cleavage, different options for body hair and eyes and a shape as well.  I love the subtle sheen to the lips.  I've added my usual Miss Vanity Eyeshadow in soft brown from Mock Cosmetics and Mysteria Mesh Lashes from Gaeline Creations, but otherwise let the natural beauty of Brilliance shine through.  My Eternal Eyes in Storm, from Ikon, and Tomorrow hair from Magika, complete the look.  My cropped top and shorts are part of a group gift from Ydea called Eryly.  Also included with Eryly, but not shown are a vibrant pink sweater and boots.  I chose to layer on yet *another* group gift, a black and gray jacket, from Chandelle.  Since I saved so many lindens with all my group gift finds, I splurged a little (just a little) on my Silver Love Tags necklace from Maxi Gossamer, which I discovered at FaMESHed.

Lavender for Good Luck

There's a few things I've learned in life:  always throw salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for good luck, and fall in love whenever you can.

~  Alice Hoffman

Add color to your second life and lavender for good luck with Rosalia, the January group gift from Prism.  With a strappy, form-fitting tank, optional knitted shrug, and coordinating mesh cords, this outfit offers plenty of winter-day warmth as well as a softly feminine sex appeal.  The pants come in seven sizes, so you are sure to find just the right one to hug your curves.  The outfit also comes with a chain belt, which I decided not to wear for this picture.  Prism Designs is free to join and offers stylish monthly gifts.  While you're in the store, check out the freebies on the counter as well! 

I've chosen to accessorize with Burroughs Jewelry's Starlight Dangle Necklace, which I have tinted to match my outfit with the easy-to-use customizing hud.  During the End of Collection, 99L Crazy Sale, you can scoop up some budget-friendly customizable jewels.

View from the Mesa

Her eyes were those of someone who's just fallen in love, someone who sees nothing but her lover, someone who has no fear of anything. The eyes of someone who believes that every dream will come true, that reality will move if you just give it a push.

~ Banana Yoshimoto, Asleep

It's that special weekend of the month when group members can pick up Ikon's latest gift.  Mesa, January's offering, has a clear, luminous intensity that is unparalleled.  The group is free to join, but this month's free eyes will be available for just a few days, so don't put off your visit.

While browsing the Marketplace, I came across Eve White Lace, this flirty lace corset with airy, romantic flexi sleeves.  Now, since it's January and rather nippy outside, I was glad to don the jewel-tone shrug in an emerald shade which is included.  The package offers sweaters in a rich, purple tone and a pink shade in addition to the green, as well as lace pants, coordinating earrings and brooches, which I opted not to show.  Instead, I chose to wear casual white capris from Jeanne Moulliez's Aqua Halter and White Capris, a sweet Marketplace freebie.   My silver and diamond necklace from Mistwood Jewels provides the perfect, budget-friendly accessory for only one linden.

Eyes:  Eternal Eyes - Mesa from Ikon (group gift, free to join)

Oceans of Virtue

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind.  To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

~ Buddha

Pom-pommed layers of aqua and teal that swirl with every step and a sexy wrapped tie-dye top make up Virtue Seven, the new Midnight Mania Prize at Biasta.  Just tap the board, call all your friends, have them tap too, and if the target number is met, you will be gifted this outfit at midnight.  I have accessorized with two recent purchases from Maxi Gossamer which I love!  Both were only 49L.  My BoHo Bangles in Laquered Turquoise and Silver coordinate perfectly with the hues of the skirt, and my Kizzy Hoops also match the gypsy feel of the outfit.  My full perm, mesh ballet flats are so easy to customize to match any shade of clothing!

Over my Nellie skin from LAQ, I have layered Honoriable Eyeliner in black and Lucir Rubyfruit lipcolor from Mock Cosmetics.  Around my Sunrise Eyes in Deep Green, you can see Mysteria mesh lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics.  Tumbling over my shoulder is my new favorite hair dubbed Tomorrow from Magika.  What I love about this hair is the range of colors that you get for the price of *one* color at other stores.

A Killa Gift

I am a wild one, tame me now....

Running with wolves and I'm on the prowl

I'm feeling tameless in this striped, cropped sweater and creamy jeans tucked into warm boots.  Head on over to Killa DesignZ, join the group for free and then tap the display for your free fall gift which includes the entire outfit.  My thick mane is a new release from Magika called Tomorrow, and I love the way my hair drapes over my right shoulder yet leaves my left shoulder bare.  I've chosen to apply Funsies Eyeliner in Smoked Senna from Mock Cosmetics and Mysteria Mesh lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics over my Polly skin in Cacoa from Al Vulo.  The windows to my wild soul are Sunrise Eyes in deep green from Ikon.

Sugar & Cyanide

A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her. 

~ Helen Rowland

First, before I move on to today's freebie outfit, I had to show you a close up view of my Miss Vanity Eyeshadow with Lashes [peacock] which is available in a variety of colors for a short time at Mock Cosmetics for only 30L.  Don't wait on this one, or you will pay full price for this gorgeous combination.  Over my lips, I am wearing Crema LipColor in Bellini also from Mock Cosmetics.  My skin is Amar in milk from WOW Skins.  The complete avatar was a Midnight Mania prize that I won awhile ago, but I am just wearing the skin here.  I love the sexy mole just above the corner of my mouth!  I have added Mysteria mesh lashes to frame my Sunrise Eyes in light steel blue from Ikon.  My gorgeous tresses are a new release from Magika called Tomorrow and are available both on the Marketplace and the in-world store.  This customizable Basti necklace in black is an older purchase from Pepper. 

Leanne is the current group gift at Sugar & Cyanide.  With soft, blue tones, half length sleeves and an asymmetrical hemline which shows off your sexy legs, this mesh dress is sure to please!  Here, I have chosen to pair it with Goshi Pumps in Navy from MStyle.  These shoes are currently on sale for 50% off.  They are my favorite pair of high heels, and I think I now own just about every color they come in!

 

As soon as I saw Daria from D!va Hair at Collabor88, I knew she was destined for my inventory.  This casual, sideswept updo with a knot on the side can be dressed up with a color change ribbon as I have done here, or worn plain without the bow.  I love the way soft tendrils of hair escape and frame my face in this hairstyle.  My Hyperion necklace is from LouLou & Co. and I love the way its small bow echoes the bow in Daria.  For this photo, I am wearing Chloe Tan 11 from Belleza which is not free, but it's my favorite skin.  I have layered Miss Vanity Eyeshadow with lashes in soft brown over the skin.  My eyes are Sunrise Eyes in Light Green from Fashism (now Ikon).  I've also added Mysteria mesh eyelashes from Gaeline Cosmetics.

While you are at Sugar and Cyanide picking up the group gift, see if you can find the Womenstuff Hunt Icon.  (It's not hard to find!)  Inside the hunt prize, you will find this casual outfit which is perfect for brisk late fall weather.  It includes the warm Alexandria jacket, shirt, leggings and the S&C ankle boots which have a cute studded detail.
