Beauty Style Gifts

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm sharing several wonderful group gifts from [BEAUTY STYLE], whose store group is currently free to join. That means that all the fashions you're about to see can be yours at absolutely no cost, just for joining the group and visiting their lovely store :) I've encountered them at events before and was impressed by what I saw, then lost track of them when they moved and their landmark brought me to parts unknown, lol. But happily I was able to locate them again and so we can start our weekend with some sexy looks!

My first look this evening is the [BEAUTY STYLE] PENELOPE SET FATPACK group gift. The top, denim shorts, and belt each fit Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, and we also receive a HUD with 22 solid colors and 22 patterns for the top, 22 colors each for the belt and its metal hardware, 22 denim shades for the shorts, and 6 metals for trim. That is an impressive amount of customization, and I had lots of fun playing with the HUD :) It's hard to resist really, when you have tiny buttons and want to see what the full patterns look like or what certain colors look like in action.

Our [BEAUTY STYLE] ABIGAIL BODY/SKIRT FATPACK gift is sure to turn heads this weekend! The bodysuit and skirt are each designed for Belleza X Classic, Belleza X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. We also receive a HUD of course, with 5 metals and 20 colors each for the body part 1 and 2, and skirt parts 1 and 2. It looks like I played with the HUD too much, lol, because I somehow wound up with the skirt pink again ;)

I also had a great time experimenting with the HUD for the [BEAUTY STYLE] Scarlett set fatpack gift :) The jacket, top, and skirt each come in Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya sizing, along with a HUD that offers 21 logos for the shirt, 22 colors each in solid and dotted for shirt, same 22 dots and solids for the skirt, 22 for our belt, 22 for the straps on the jacket, and 22 denim hues for the jacket itself. Lots of versatility, which is certainly not unusual here at this store.

If you need even more sex appeal this weekend, how about our [BEAUTY STYLE] VALENTINA Dress/panty FATPACK gift? Its dress and matching panties each fit Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, and it is a fatpack because of the wonderful HUD provided. That offers 20 colors each for 4 sections of the dress and 2 parts of the panty, plus 5 metal tones for the zipper. It is just as easy to go monochromatic as it is to have a wild blend of colors, so click all those buttons and stick with whatever makes you happy :)

My final look of the night is a terrific pants set that I might wear all weekend in different color combos. The [BEAUTY STYLE] Delilah SET FATPACK consists of the jacket, bra, pants, and belt, each in Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. The HUD just might knock your socks off with all it offers - 22 colors for the bra, 66 textures each for the jacket, pants, and belt, and 20 buckle colors. This is perfect for those of us who love to mix things up, and if you prefer it without the jacket or without the belt it is still quite wearable and lovely. 

You know how some days just don't seem to go as we planned, and chaos erupts? That sums up my day, lol, although I survived and get to figure out what this weekend will hold. I was late to my parents' for dinner through no fault of my own, and as a result everything else I've done tonight has been just a tad bit behind the normal timing. I'm a frazzled magpie, but it'll be okay. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Still in the MIIX

 Hiya everyone! Tonight is a part two of last night's post, with more free group gifts from the MIIX Event. Their Hype Events group is free to join, and many of the designers are offering treats in little gift boxes that you can click with the tag active. We have until the 20th of the month to claim the gifts and do some shopping :) Get those demos while you're here to help you make decisions if you need to, as I sure did! Some of the designers are longtime favorites, while others are new to me, so I appreciate that mix of new and familiar.

My first look this evening is the [BEAUTY STYLE] PENELOPE SET FATPACK gift, and I'm a big fan for many reasons. The short denim shorts and sexy cropped top are definitely among those reasons :) We receive the top, shorts, and belt each in sizing for Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies. There is also a HUD that is fully loaded, with 22 solid colors and 22 patterns for the top, 22 colors each for two parts of the belt, and 22 denim hues for the shorts. That adds up to an impressive amount of options!

Just witch is offering their wonderful Fiona Dress Set 01 - Extra 01 as our group gift for this round. It has high slits on each thigh, and bright teal trim to match the magical images on our fabric. There are Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizes provided.

Last night I think I mentioned that FurtaCor had 2 gifts for us, well I'd saved the other for tonight :) Their Chen Set is a one-piece outfit to fit the Maitreya mesh body, and includes a HUD with 10 colors apiece for the fishnet top, bra, skirt, and built in panties. I do enjoy the ability to mix and match, so this is a delightful look.

Next we see the lovely *B.D.R.* Summer Swimsuit gift from Beautiful Dirty Rich. There are a whopping 25 colors of this one-piece swimwear in BOM layers, from which I randomly chose the wine and peach for the left and right above. The vendor image notes that they were designed for the eBody Reborn body but can be worn on other bodies as well, and I don't see anything unusual while wearing on my Maitreya body other than being cut relatively narrow in the crotch. 

My final look of the evening is a close up view of the .:YASU:. UN02 - The Cutest Nails Blue gift, and I must say I agree with their description :) The shade of blue is beautiful, and the two solid nails (thumb and ring finger) are complemented by the white striped pinkies, polka dotted index fingers, and middle fingers with a white heart at the base. These are mesh add-ons, so just use your body's HUD to hide the built in nails and then add the appropriate size. Those choices are Belleza, Belleza Gen X, Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, and Signature Alice versions. This is the type of nail art I would love to be able to do in RL, simple yet essential to be precise with each brushstroke and dab. My hands are just too shaky, so at least I can enjoy these in SL whenever I wish.

My stomach did not have a particularly good day, so I went to my parents' at dinnertime but took my portion home and ate later. It happens, and anxiety can aggravate stomach issues very easily. We watched a little bit of the Olympics, but my back was to the tv so I wasn't able to pay much attention, and we also looked at more old photos including a class photo of my grandfather's. For perspective there, he would be turning 100 in a few weeks if he were still with us, so the picture was almost 90 years ago. It is so impressive that it's in fairly good shape, all things considered, and he was such a cute little boy :) I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Womenstuff Treats

 Hiya everyone! Tonight it's time to take a glance at some more Womenstuff Hunt prizes, which are free with their group tag which is $50L to join. So that one-time fee gets you access to over 100 hunt prizes for free, as well as any group gifts offered by any of their participating stores year-round regardless of the hunt. In my opinion it is well worth the fee, which I'd paid several years ago and never regretted :) That is probably part of why I'd stayed in the group this long too, knowing I'd have access to group gifts and the hopes that future hunts would take place. I do have good news tonight too...in a prior post of this hunt, I mentioned there not being a website showing the links and/or prizes so we were reliant on the HUD available at the 'Stuff Lounge for the group members. However, the fine folks at FabFree, specifically Porta I believe, decided to create such a spreadsheet like they did for SL21B. Yay! It is easier to navigate than arrowing your way through the HUD if you're moving back and forth instead of taking the hunt in a single straight line, with the same information yet larger photos since the HUD can only go so big on your screen. I am grateful for both and there is no shade intended since the HUD is fantastic too, with the teleporting ability being so helpful :) If you recall previous Womenstuff hunts where we were looking for a red t-shirt, please remember that this time the hunt object is instead a red bag which is square with a circular gold handle.

I've already worn my first look of the evening a few times since picking it up :) It is our smesh ~ Dress for WS Hunt June 24 prize, simply loaded with sex appeal. The dress comes in sizes for Alice, Altamura, eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a transparency HUD so you can make either top or skirt sheer in increments. Making the skirt a little bit see-through on the right above gives me an opportunity to show you as well as tell you about the other part of the gift, which is a BOM layer tintable thong. I've left it dark so it would show through here.

The Aitne. Iris Body - Purple hunt prize is in my favorite color, so of course I'm eager to share :) There are Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Reborn, Juicy Boobs, and Waifu mesh body sizes included, as well as a bow HUD with 6 different colors to select from. The poofy sleeves are a fun touch just like the back bow, and those high cut legs really show off our backsides nicely!

::BY EVIE:: has a great summery look for us inside their bag called SUELEN SHIRT BIKINI SET GIFT, and wait until you see how versatile it is! The one-piece string bikini and cropped t-shirt will each fit eBody Reborn, Kalhene, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies, and the included HUD has 17 textures for the bikini with 19 for the shirt. So much mixing and matching! There are loads of cow prints for the bikini, and many of the shirt options are solid colors but there are a few fun ones like the tie dye I chose for the left above.

Bodysuits must be having quite a fashion moment this season, as I found another stunning one in the [BEAUTY STYLE] prize called #90 BODYSUIT FATPACK. It has a strapless sweetheart neckline and high leg openings, gathered in the front and adorned with a fun message on the front. There are 20 colors that say Babe, and 5 that say Barbie, in similar curvy font and style. As for the bodysuit itself, it's provided in Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh body sizing. 

We wrap up the evening with an intricately designed bikini called {Le'La} Ulva Swimsuit. The bra and panties each come in sizing for Erika, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra (Bimbo, Low, Original), Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Flat, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. The straps are quite a sight to behold, creating a butterfly-like opening on the front of the bikini and a swoop on the right hip, all in a soft tan to coordinate just right with the leopard print fabric. 

It was another quiet but hot day here; well, it was quiet until I heard thunder twice just now. Sigh. Make that three times. Weather has not been kind lately, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and keeping an eye on the weather websites. I hope you're all having a decent day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

MIIX Event Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are headed to the newly opened round of the MIIX Event, where the Hype Events group tag (free to join) will let you access a few dozen wonderful gifts. I'm delighted to share a handful of those tonight :) Also they have their usual array of talented designers offering exclusive sales items for this 50th round. They just opened on the 30th and the event lasts until the 20th of the month, so we have a few weeks total to enjoy stopping by each month.

My first look of the post is the lovely Just witch :: Aspen Set 01 - 06 romper. This one-piece strapless shorts suit is covered with stars and crescent moons that are quite possibly a nod to the store's name with a witchy vibe :) Love the colors! The gift includes Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh body sizing. 

There's something so sweet and summery about our [Pixel Doll] Said Dress [01] gift, don't you think? The striped bare-sleeved sundress fits eBody Curvy, eBody Reborn, Hourglass, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. Shades of pink and brown can look surprisingly pretty together, somehow soft and bold all at once.

Next I slipped into the flirty [BEAUTY STYLE] VALENTINA Dress/panty FATPACK. The dress and panty is each provided in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, and you'll have a great time experimenting with their HUD! It's got 20 colors each for 4 dress sections and 2 panty sections, plus 5 metals for the zipper down the center of the dress. It is hard to decide which feature caught my attention the most...the strapless style, sheer front panels, or all the versatility from the HUD!

Ramp up that sex appeal with the Arte - Althea Lace - FATPACK gift from Artesfatta. The dress has one strap tucked beneath the right arm, while the other shows off a pretty bow atop the shoulder. In sizes for Erika, Erika Petite Waist, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, it can be your choice of 16 colors via HUD. All hues have a black lace overlay. We can either go with a lighter shade to accentuate the lace, or something dark and dramatic.

Our hands deserve a little love too, so be sure to pick up the FF Original - Nail Bento Stiletto Glitter - BLACK 1 gift from Fatal Fashion. The sharply pointy nail shape goes so well with the deepest black color, and with the enclosed HUD you can choose with or without glitter. The mesh nails come in Belleza, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Slink, and Tonic sizes, so just hide the nails from your body with its HUD and then add these in the correct size to your outfit :) Personally I enjoy sparkling, so I'm going to be wearing these when I want to feel magical or a bit extra.

This week feels like it really flew by, now that we're at the end of it and ready for the weekend :) I had a nice dinner at my parents', with more discussions of somber topics that are necessary but still a pain in the neck (or a bit lower) like can I think of anything else from my grandma's house that I'd like? It's not like I was there cataloging her belongings in my head and plotting what I wanted to own someday, so not much is coming to mind. They will be there at the house tomorrow and might send more pictures, which is helpful so I can refresh my memory. I have another outing planned for tomorrow, and then therapy Sunday, so I am mentally preparing for busy days. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sweets From Swank

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we've got more Swank Event group gifts to see, all of which came from the lovely pumpkins with the Swank logo in gold on each one. Just wear your SWANK group tag and click every pumpkin you can find on both floors of this impressively sized event, and be sure to set aside plenty of time to unpack and sort through all the goodies ;) There are tons and tons, as with any gift giving occasion at this event, which lasts until the end of the month. That is plenty of time to visit and do some seasonal shopping while you pick up these generous gifts :)

My first look is definitely in the Halloween theme! The WILD Fashion Gift1 Swank Events 2023 is their Hermione top and skirt each in sizing for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. They fit together so well it looks like a dress, but if you decide you want to wear them separately you can pair the strapless top with your favorite jeans, or wear a BOM bodysuit or long sleeved top with the ruffled high-low hemmed skirt. Yes, you can tell I always consider what I'd do to show off the versatility that separate pieces offer :) Yes, the gift 1 name indicates there are others for you to find there from WILD Fashion, so be sure to click all those pretty pumpkins!

If you need a costume that will really turn heads, I suggest the **WONDER WOMAN 80'S CONCEPT COSTUME COMPLETE OUTFIT** gift from V8 Underground. It does really have a Lynda Carter era feeling to it, giving me a sense of confidence and power. The bodysuit and boots each come in sizes for Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn bodies, then we get to add the headpiece, bracelets, and rope which are adjustable. If you noticed my ruby red lips here to match the clothing, you'll be happy to know that the makeup is also included as a BOM layer that is Evo X compatible. There is a flick of bold eyeliner too, very pretty and something you could wear with just about anything you own.

Another designer with multiple displays and multiple gifts for us is *ASIA*, and tonight I am delighted to show you their ARABELLA black gift. It consists of the wisp of a dress, string panties, and strappy shoes each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The deep V of the neckline actually goes down a little further than the left hip's high cut, and the hemline is trimmed with floral embroidery that I adore. What would you choose for jewelry, if anything? I'm thinking simple silver earrings, maybe a matching choker if I'm feeling extra fancy.

If orange is your favorite color, or at least seasonally, then the AnaSTyle - Era Orange - Dress just might make your weekend :) It is intricately designed with openings in front and back of the bodice, then panels of skirt that create daring slits on both front thighs. The back of the skirt even has an opening that shows off a little more leg, so sexy! This gift includes Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies.

My final look of the evening is our [BEAUTY STYLE] OLIVIA Dress AND JACKET gift, which is great for the weather this time of year :) The cropped denim jacket and strapless knit mini dress each fit eBody Reborn, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, and we also get a handy HUD with 16 denim textures for the jacket and 25 dress choices. I so appreciate the many ways we can wear denim, with a nicely styled jacket being pretty high up there, and we can always slip out of it when we are indoors or just for variety.

Whew, it was quite a day or two...Thursday I had to force myself to go out before I was fully ready, and it was a rough trip but the podiatrist visit went pretty well overall. The ingrown toenail isn't infected after all (yay, no antibiotics to wreck my stomach!) and it just needed trimming like all my toenails did. Just two needed extra attention, not fun but tolerable, and I'm feeling good about having accomplished a much needed goal. This round I won against my agoraphobia demons ;) I was pretty drained last night afterwards and still agree with my decision to take the night off from blogging, and will do so again tomorrow as my usual Saturday vacation day. Sunday I'll be back with as yet to be determined treats, which just means I have a few choices and haven't quite decided among them yet. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
