More Brillancia Goodies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm sharing more flirtatious gifts from Brillancia, whose group is currently free to join. From the landing spot please go into the small store and you'll see a teleport pad, click and choose "big store" from the popup menu to head upstairs to the main shopping area. The group gifts are on the back wall up there, and you will be so glad you stopped by! I think before I was misspelling the store as Brilliancia, with extra "i" after the double L like in brilliant, so I apologize for previous spelling errors and hope I've got it right this time around :) I appreciate their use of color HUDs that help us customize the clothing to look exactly how we want, and their generally sexy style might be just what you're craving this weekend.

The first gift I tried on tonight is their charming Brillancia - Dress Mia Full Pack. It has a separate sleeves attachment, with both the dress and sleeves fitting eBody Reborn, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies. The gift also includes HUDs for the dress and the sleeves, each offering 10 fun colors. I went matchy on the left and contrasted on the right, but I think the white sleeves weren't the best choice against white windowsills. Oopsie. The ruffles and layers of lace are so pretty, aren't they?

Next up is their Brillancia - Dress Evelyne Full Pack, which is another gift with the sleeves separate from the dress so they can be worn together or just the dress alone. The gift includes Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes, with plenty of HUDs to choose your look. The dress HUD has 8 colors, 10 on the dress buttons HUD with silver and gold as the bonuses (gold shown on left above), and the same 8 as the dress on the dress frill, sleeve, and sleeve frill HUDs. The tulip shaped skirt does rise up pretty high in the front, so panties are needed for most venues :)

Our gift called Brillancia - Dress Linda FULL PACK is a beautiful creation with plenty of lace, leading me to believe that our designer is as big a fan of said material as I am :) There are eBody Reborn, Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky,  Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes provided, as well as 2 HUDs. Those would be the dress and dress stripes, which is actually the sleeves, offering 8 colors on each. I love the way the puffy sleeves are gathered not just one but twice, and the short hemline looks great with the detailed lace on it.

Please tell me I'm not the only one picturing Britney Spears singing I'm a Slave 4U from looking at our playful Brillancia - Set Jessica full pack gift! If snakes aren't your thing, you will be happy to know that those are a separate attachment, and our top, shorts, and snake each fit eBody Reborn, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. The clothing does have a terrific snakeskin texture, unlike the mechanical appearance of the slithery accessories. We also receive HUDs for each, with the top and pants HUDs offering 8 hues while the snake gets 2 metal options both shown. My avi looks like she is enjoying hanging out with her new friend!

For my final look this evening, I got to ooh and ahh over the Brillancia - Dress Mila FULL PACK gift. The lacy strapless mini dress alone is stunning, but then we get to add the overskirt and really make this a *look*. Both pieces are provided in sizing for Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya bodies, and they each have their own color HUD with 12 options apiece. They seem to tint darker on the clothing than they appear on the HUD, for example the buttons I used on the left looked lavender and white, which is just a heads up so if you experience the same, it's not just you ;) Or maybe it was just me and my lighting settings? This style is great for its versatility, starting out formal and then removing the skirt layer to party the night away.

If someone were to ask me how my day was, the only word I can use to reply is 'weird', and that is not as rare for me as I might like. The dinner/birthday celebration for my dad took an odd turn when my mom mentioned that they brought home a box from my grandmother's and would I like to look at things my grandfather brought home from WWII? Let's just say it was disturbing artifacts from a dark time in history, and certain symbols appeared on the items that left no doubt as to their original owners' affiliations. He spent time in Germany and Belgium, but the small coin collection also in the box had at least a dozen different countries represented which is very strange. They ranged from 1888 - 1970 on the ones that had dates I could read, with some too corroded to make out any image or wording. I have pictures of some of the coins to research, but they are going to bring them to someone this coming week who will probably purchase the lot so they can put the money towards my grandmother's medical care. We aren't expecting much of course. I don't really have plans this weekend other than resting and recuperating from the week, which is what I wish for all of you too :) May your weekend bring exactly what you need, and sending many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Brillancia Beauties

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we're exploring some generous group gifts from Brillancia, whose group is currently free to join so now is a great time to enjoy :) We land in an area that has a brightly lit club in front of a small storefront, so just walk into the store and click the teleport pad on the floor then choose "big store" as your destination. This will transport you up to their main shopping area, and the gifts are on the back wall. They lean towards the sexy side, but I was careful not to show off too much in this images ;) Angles make a huge difference sometimes.

Do bows and lace make you think of sweet little girls, or fancy lingerie? The Brillancia - Dress Rachel Full Pack group gift certainly leans more towards the adult side of those particular details, with bare shoulders and bell sleeves with a broad swath of lace that matches the one on the hemline. There are sizes for Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies, with a single size collar of loosely tied ribbon. There are also HUDs for each, with 8 colors and 2 metals to select from.

Another provocative gift I'm delighted to show off is called Brillancia - Dress Ruth Full Pack. There is a toga-like quality here since our dress drapes over one shoulder, with daring openings on each side. It fits Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies, and we receive 3 different HUDs that offer 8 colors for the main dress, 8 for the lace trim, and 2 metal choices for the closure on the right side.

The Brillancia - Lingerie Adele Full pack is sure to impress your special someone or whomever you choose to share it with. Its top, top sparkle layer, panty, and panty sparkle layer are all included in sizing for eBody Reborn, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. All those separate pieces mean we can wear as many or few as we wish :) Then there are the HUDs...10 colors apiece for the top, top flowers, panty, panty flowers, and chain which is the rear thong portion of the panties. It is so fun changing up all the colors and seeing what various combinations look like!

Next I slipped into our Brillancia - Dress Anastasia**Full Pack group gift, an eye-catching flared mini with long sleeves and fun wedges of sheer sparkly diamonds. The gift includes eBody Reborn, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite sizing of the dress and strapless panties, and there are HUDs for the dress with 24 colors, 8 hues for the diamonds, and 8 matching colors for the panties. The diamond coloring mostly seems to be a glow, at least with my lighting settings, but your mileage may vary ;) I need no shadows but enough light to really be able to capture the fashions at their best, because this is about the clothing and not the model :)

My final look of the evening is an intriguing set called Brillancia - Dress Nancy Full Pack. The partial jacket style layer is called dress 1, with the sheer strapless dress beneath called dress 2, and each come in Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizes. There are also 4 HUDs included, and they are all small enough that I like the idea of not using half my screen on a huge single HUD in case I want to leave it on for a bit while making decisions. The dress 1 and dress 2 HUDs, as well as the belt HUD, offer 8 colors apiece, with 2 metals on a separate little HUD. I couldn't decide if the top layer should be called a cape or jacket or what have you, but I really like the idea for this time of year when temperatures are supposed to be dropping.

It was a busy day and I actually went out for a much longer car ride than I'd done in months, thanks to the wonders of exposure therapy. I was on my phone in a therapy session during most of the ride, LOL, which sounds bizarre but since I wasn't driving it was not unsafe in any way and the therapist got to witness and guide me through some anxiety and panic. Next week will be another similar outing, a specific place that the drive always makes me feel very anxious. Tomorrow is dinner at my parents' and celebrating my dad's 80th birthday, which is quite a fun milestone :) My grandmother, his mother-in-law, turns 97 the same day so a special day for my family all around. I hope you're all having a glorious day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Midweek Quickies

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we have two places to visit, both of which have limited time offers including free gifts :) Our first stop is Brilliancia, whose group is currently free to join and there are several group gifts available with that group tag. From what I understand there will be a fee to join (again?) soon, so please don't hesitate if you like what you see. Their sexy style certainly caught my eye, and they are in the same building with So Pink who also has a free group and two gifts on the back wall with the Brilliancia gifts. Both stores are offering gift cards towards the middle of the store, but the Brilliancia one did not deliver to me and because it's no-copy I was unable to redeliver it. As for our second stop, that would be The Makeover Room event where there is an array of beauty offers to enhance the look of your avatar. There is also a free group with a gift from Entice for its members to enjoy. This month's is a very alluring design in a terrific color :)

My first look of the night is the Brilliancia - Dress Nataly Full Pack, a darling strapless dress with full layered skirt that makes me think of flower petals. There are sizes for Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh bodies included, along with HUDs for the dress and straps (the lacing in the back) offering 8 colors each. I found that the Maitreya size was too snug on the breasts which were poking through in places I couldn't quite alpha out with the body's HUD, so I lowered the breast size of my shape to get a better fit. It happens from time to time with outfits and I just keep the modified shape in the outfit's folder so it will be handy when I need it. 

Next I changed into the Brilliancia - Set Irma Full Pack group gift. The halter top and wrap skirt with lacy inset each have a bow accent that really tie the look together (pun intended, bow + tie) and will each fit Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. There are 3 different HUDs included, with 10 choices for the top and skirt each, then 2 metals for the top's neck strap. Two of the 10 fabric choices are metallic, so I went all gold on the right to show it off :)

This alluring look is the group gift called Brilliancia - Set Elen Full Pack. We receive the open wrap dress and lingerie set (bra and panties linked to wear as one) in Freya, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite mesh body sizing, and each have a HUD with 8 colors to choose from. I love the way the rear view reveals the back of the bra with that deep opening, much like the front bodice. Slip out of the lingerie for an extra surprise, or peel off the dress to show off that bra and panty combo!

The Brilliancia - Set Anna Full Pack gift has plenty of eye-catching details to liven up your day or evening. It starts with the strapless bodysuit that has a delicate embossed floral pattern, then we can add the flowers and a layer of sparkles for the flowers (seen both left and right above because I couldn't bear to take either of them off LOL) and each of these fit eBody Reborn, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite bodies. Then of course there are HUDs to create the full pack part of the name, 10 choices each for the bodysuit and the flowers (labeled metals). The 3D roses are fantastic, and the short shorts are just the right length to be flirty while balancing the bare shoulders and plunging neckline.

My final look this evening is the Entice - Vision of Love - Wine, a striking lingerie set that is our group gift from The Makeover Room until the 26th of the month. The babydoll is sheer with frills on the straps and hem, which are solid satin like the cute thong. Both pieces are provided in Freya, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh body sizes. I managed to catch a glimpse of my avatar giving some serious bedroom eyes on the left side of the picture, and can you blame her? The long fluttery bow and its strands drape gently in the opening of the babydoll, which makes me wonder if that is ticklish ;) 

It was quite a busy day as I'd expected, but the chiropractor visit and the x-ray went well. I couldn't remember how many views were in a standard hand x-ray, so I was a little surprised that it was 4 which felt like a lot. Still it was quick and simple, with a friendly technician who made sure I was comfortable for the brief session. This particular medical center is in a failing mall, quite possibly the only thing keeping it afloat, which is sad since I have memories of going there way before we even lived in the area with my parents and my godmother who recently passed away. It's weird to walk past nothing but empty storefronts between the food court and the medical center, although I saw a couple stores open around the other corner. I used to be quite a mall rat as a teen, hanging out at least once a week with my high school best friend at one, so there are happy associations. I hope you're all having a terrific day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Brilliancia Bounty

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are taking a look at several more gifts from BRILLIANCIA, just a sampling of the many generous treats available just for joining their free store group. There is a gift card so you can choose your own reward for being in their group, and lots of clothing as well as a few pairs of shoes so you can create some stunning outfits. I am so happy to have found this store! It looks like they were formerly called E.V.A. as most of the gifts go by that brand name, including all of the ones I am showing you in this post.

My first look of the evening is the E.V.A. Dress Anna group gift, which is one of my very favorites due to the bare shoulders and open weave lace midriff. It is provided in sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, Maitreya, Signature Alice, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, with a 15 texture HUD. There are 5 patterns and 10 solids among those options, so you can decide which matches your mood or perhaps the accessories you'd like to wear with it.

Next we have the adorable E.V.A.- Set Agnes gift, a romper with lots of possibilities. It comes in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine body sizing. There is also a HUD with 22 terrific options, some of which use transparency for plunging lace necklines and back openings. The best thing to do is have fun clicking all the buttons and deciding which you want to wear first :)

I do enjoy a nice asymmetrical hemline, and the E.V.A. - Dress Batty group gift provides in flirty fashion. It is a sheer slip dress with lace stripes and built in panties, sized for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The HUD included lets us select from 14 colors, some of which are subtle ombres as seen on the left above. I am laughing at myself for just now noticing that my nipples are slightly visible through the fabric, not enough to do anything about it since it is that subtle. 

E.V.A.- Set Irene is one of the more casual offerings among our group gifts, yet it has the ability to be daring if you wish. The hoodie and sweatpants each come in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body versions. There is also a HUD included with 12 textures for each. A fun detail is that 7 of the hoodie textures have sheer lace-trimmed sections both front and back, so you can decide if you'd like a little peekaboo action on your top :) I always appreciate being able to mix and match, of course. 

I decided to wrap up the evening's looks with something extra sexy, so I chose the group gift called E.V.A. - Set Vanessa. Its shirt, panties, and sock and shoe combo are each provided in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes. The HUD offers 14 choices for the shirt, 6 solid colors for the panties, and several different black or white buttons for various components of the footwear. The shoes have two portions that can be changed, and the stockings themselves can be either black or white with your choice of those same colors for the bow and dots (buttons?) down the back. This is a great choice to slip into when you have that someone special coming to your place to visit, what a way to greet them!

How was everyone's Monday? Nothing noteworthy here, just looking forward to exploring some March hunts and events this week. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Beauties from Brilliancia

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post features several group gifts from BRILLIANCIA, a new-to-me store who are offering a bevy of gifts for their free group. There is even a gift card among the many gifts so you can select something of your own choosing to treat yourself to along with all the terrific gifts on an entire wall. The store seems to have gone through a rebranding recently, since most of the gifts say "E.V.A." as the store name except the largest gift in the center (most recent) and the gift card. Our generous designer's name is Eva so that explains that :) There is a wide variety from casual outfits to formal gowns and sexy lingerie, so I hope you find plenty to enjoy.

First I slipped into the BRILLIANCIA - SET DARINA FULL PACK, which seems to be their most recent group gift as it is the largest image in the center of the group gift wall. Its dress and sleeves are each provided in Belleza, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh body sizes, so you can wear the dress with or without the sleeves. There are 4 HUDs included too, for the dress and its lace then the sleeves and their lace, each with 12 color choices. This lets us mix and match to really personalize the look of this flirty mini. Did you notice the way the left side is raised up in the back? Cheeky!

This charming lingerie look is the E.V.A.-Set Gwen group gift. It comes as a single mesh piece in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies, with a versatile HUD that offers 9 colors each for the bodice, skirt, panties, belt, and buckle. The skirt portion is sheer enough that the thong panties peek from beneath, and I had a lot of fun playing with different color combinations. 

Next we see the seductive group gift called E.V.A. Dress Viola. It has a floral shaped cutout on the left side, above the shorter side of the diagonal hemline. There are sizes included for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Hourglass, and Maitreya mesh bodies, and a HUD with 19 textures. There are solids and various patterns to choose from, so you can make this look your own and even change when the mood strikes. 

I also wanted to share their E.V.A.- Dress Rose group gift, which is an elegant gown with alluring details. The front is laced loosely from collar to below the navel, just a peek of cleavage and bare skin to turn heads. It comes in standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP mesh body versions. There is also a HUD, with 9 solid colors and 14 trimmed with a beige lace panel down the center both front and back. I love this style and feel like aside from shoes the only thing I'd add would be a bracelet or earrings. 

For my final look this evening, I decided to go more casual with the E.V.A. - Set Vivian group gift. It consists of the bra, lace top, and lace trimmed jeans each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique bodies. In a classic case of fashion being cyclical, this is the type of style I'd have happily worn in the late 80s and therefore am glad to see it again :) I had jeans with lace panels straight down each outer side, and a fishnet top I wore over plain tank tops peeking through. The image in the folder for this gift mentions a HUD but I double checked the packaging and did not see it in there, so it's a good thing I am very fond of these colors it comes in ;) 

I had a pretty nice weekend, and the farmers market was extra fun because of a precious 14 week old Saint Bernard puppy named Yogi ♥. What a little snugglebug! I could have happily petted him all day, and am keeping my fingers crossed that his human brings him back to the market in the future so I can see how big he'll get. Apparently his dad is 160 lbs, so he will be a biiiig boy and is already devilishly handsome. It was a warm day today, but the temperature will be dropping again throughout the week to nearly freezing next Sunday. Spring will get here eventually, but for now I need to be patient and keep the clothing layers handy. I've been working on the Twisted Hunt with Xan's help, so that should be making an appearance here shortly. There is always something brewing in magpie land ;) I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
