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.

Wild Coqettish Violetta

I have some lovely group gifts, a Marketplace Freebie and a special deal to share with you this evening.  First, Violetta, shown here in Goldrush, is one of three hair styles (in ALL colors) available to Exile Subscriber members.  It is seldom that you see one hairstyle being given away in all colors, let alone three!  Best of all, the subscriber group is free to join.... all you need to do is check the subscriber notices.

My eyes are Kaleido Eyes - Night  from Ikon, which are an older group gift (sadly, no longer free).  I mentioned in a previous post that in my opinion, Ikon's eyes are the highest quality I have found in SL.  Best of all, Ikon has a group that is free to join and offers monthly gifts. Join now so that you can take advantage of November's group gift which will be available soon.

I'm wearing another group gift, this one from Belleza.....although this group is not free to join, there are a number of past gifts still available to members, and Belleza skins are among my favorite in SL.  Here, I am showing Chloe SK Cleavage.  The Firestorm viewer allows me to wear multiple tattoo layers, and I have taken full advantage of this capability to create this look.  First, I wasn't overly fond of the pink eyeshadow and lips included in the Chloe gift skin, so I began by adding Mythic Neutralizer (lip/eye) from Mock Cosmetics (which is an old group gift). Next, I layered a Make Over from Mock called Indigo's Smoldering Brown Winterberry (lip/eye) which is currently available for group members on the desk at the Main Location for only 10L.  Finally, I added my favorite eyeliner from Mock Cosmetics called Funsies eyeliner in Smoked Senna.  Mesh lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics finished the look. 

My dress is a Marketplace find called Jungle from Herbie Loire Fashion Design.  It includes the bodice and skirt shown, as well as a frilly collar and system skirt which I opted not to wear.  You get this sexy leopard print frock for....0L! 

One final group gift from N-core completed my outfit.  These sexy Coquette Platforms called "Wild" coordinated perfectly with the animal print in my dress.  The N-core group is free to join.  N-core footwear always fit my feet perfectly.  Some of their styles include a HUD to customize skin tones, and I find I am able to quickly and easily find a perfect match for my skin.

Reporting for Duty

Sergeant Pexington reporting for duty!  After visiting the latest round of Stuff in Stock, I felt compelled to travel to the SSOC Armament Company and snap a few pics in my miliary garb.  In this sexy "My Military Uniform" from piccara, you are sure to turn some heads.  This outfit features a sexy neckline, short skirt and jaunty suspenders.  Here, I've paired it with Winter Boots in Green from Candy Bomb.   A short, sassy hairstyle from Dura and the free group gift The Shadow Lord Choker from Ronsem complete my look. 

I'm also wearing my Chloe skin from Belleza, Sunrise Eyes in Deep Green from Fashism/Ikon, Crema LipColor in Sanguine/Funsies Eyeliner Smoked Sienna C from Mock Cosmetics, and mesh lashes from Gaeline.

Winter Dreaming

I'm listening to "Baby It's Cold Outside" and avoiding the frosty chill in the air. No RL last minute shopping for me, but I did find some sweet gifts for you in SL.  First, this gorgeous Ebba skin in Peach from LAQ is part of the Christmas 2011 gift sent to subscribers recently.  With shimmering eye make up and subtle lips, this skin is absolutely alluring.  My hair is the most recent gift for members of the D!va hair group.  You get a complete collection of colors and two versions of this hair style.  This is "Marie" Type A in Cat's Eye and I love the cascading side pony.  My eyes, though not free, are Sunrise Eyes in Deep Warm Silver from Fashism. 

 

Finally, this  snowy white Roppongi Hills dress is a gift for members of the Shiki group.  With a high, lacy collar, bare arms and flowing skirts, this dress is elegance defined.  The texture has a pearly sheen which is quite lovely.

Dressed by Lexi

If you haven't visited Dressed by Lexi, you are in for a real treat!  There are two hunts going on right now, and for group members, a lovely gown for October.  Past months gifts are available around the side of the building.  The quality of the gifts is amazing and I love the way that Lexi makes coordinating shoes and jewelery available at a reasonable price.

Here is the Make Her Over Hunt gift.  It's a soft, warm sweater dress with a cowl neck.  The cowboy hat is included in this gift.  If you go around the right side of the building, Lexi offers these gorgeous boots and coordinating jewelery set to go with the hunt prize. 

Here is the second hunt prize available at Dressed by Lexi.  Gustav's Swirls has a black bodice paired with a softly flowing printed skirt.  The pattern reminds me of an ethnic design.  The necklace and earrings I am wearing were designed by Lexi to coordinate with this outfit and are available for a nominal fee. 

This stunning gown is the October gift from Dressed by Lexi.  It features a fabulously sexy split skirt and a plunging neckline in a flattering blue and black print.  The jewelery and shoes are available for a nominal fee.

There are many more group gifts at Dressed by Lexi.  Check them out!

Hucci and HOC Industries

The soft green color of this Hucci P Dot Dress, which is a group gift, suits the muted tones of fall.  Sweet polka dots adorn the sides and sleeves of this fun mini dress.  Here I've paired it with JOSS hair which was a former The Dressing Room find.  The band in the hat coordinates with the dress like they were made for each other.

Here you can see the full length of the dress and.......the most exciting fashion find of the week for me....these Color Change Platform Pumps from HOC Industries.  Not only do these shoes have oodles of color options for each part of the shoe, but if you join their group (which is free), you also have access to group only patterns.  These shoes are not free, but at only 175L for color change shoes, they are a steal!  I love these shoes!!

Mu Shi Doll and Beauty Code August Gifts

Mu Shi Doll and Beauty Code have their August gifts set out for you, and they are definitely keepers!  Both groups are free to join, and they still have old group gifts available for you, too!  Here I am showing Bella from Mu Shi Doll.  The sparkling gold bikini style top contrasts nicely with the high waisted, sassy skirt.  Boots are from Bax and are not part of the outfit.   I'm wearing the new Jenna skin from Beauty Code, also a group gift.  Gorgeous tan skin and attractive make up are a hallmark of this skin.

While I was at Beauty Code, my letter came up on the Lucky Chair and I won this lovely Holly Skin.  The light tone and make up give the skin an elegant feel that is not over done.   While in Mu Shi Dolls, I saw this Temptation Black dress and had to have it.  It's not free, but I really loved the look.  It includes the belt, hoop earrings, and the bangles.

Here is the June Group Gift skin, Tabea, from Beauty Code.  It's still available for you.  I love the tone of the skin and the fact that it comes with an optional cleavage boost, too.  Ever since my first visit to Mu Shi Doll, I wanted this Leo Mini Dress.  It's not free, but I think the straps and the animal print are just so sexy.

Mu Shi Doll still has former gifts out as well.  This is Juni, the group gift from June.  The delicate lace of this mini dress is a sweet pattern and the silver belt is included.  The silver Glitter Hoops earrings are another gift from Beauty Code.  Boots are from Bax and not included.
