ASU - ebento2019bdayface
Finish off today’s look with a couple of fantastic gifts from eBento’s 2nd Anniversary round.  I’m a huge fan of 7 Deadly s[K]ins creations, and their Paradise skin gift doesn’t disappoint.  The Paradise skin is sweetly freckled, lightly rouged, and supports brow/browless options.
Next, visit GA.EG’s booth for their Ulitmate Eye gift.  This mesh eye system is absolutely wonderful.  I discovered GA.EG a year ago at eBento’s first anniversary celebration, and have been a fan ever since.  These eyes are highly configurable, and are uniquely animated. If you picked up last year’s Ultimate Eye gift, you’ll  still want to pick up this year’s gift, the included eye pack is new.
Since it’s eBento’s birthday,  there are tons of other fabulous gifts to discover.  This round is full of interesting items from talented designers.  Simply join the free event group, click the birthday cakes at each booth, and leave happy.

ASU - NMay3face
You’ll find this fun baby-bracelet styled necklace along with many other free and 1L items in the Broken Princess Marketplace store.
FYI:  Today’s looks could be the new you!  This entire avatar, from head to toe, is free.  All of the clothing and accessories were free gifts from groups with NO join fees.  The mesh head/body is the curiously cute Jenny gift from Altamura to the London City Sim.  Altamura’s gift bodies come with a wonderful alpha system, Slink compatible feet, and face and hand AO’s.  They are a perfect starter mesh body.  However, if you have no interest in changing your makeup, skintone, or wearing applier clothing, then they are simply perfect bodies.  The included shape is copy/mod, so you can reshape the body and face to suit your personal preferences.
Until next time, shop happy!

ASU - SpringBloomsface2
After a day dominated by tanning lotion and coastal breezes you’ll need to pop into Alli & Ali for a quick comb out.  Luckily for us, Alli & Ali’s free Easter Hunt gifts are still dotted around the store.  There are 10 relatively easy to find Easter baskets filled with fun hairstyles.  The Unicorn HUD V.2 is filled with so many awesome shades it was hard to pick one to model.
ASU - SpringBloomsNecklace
Sometimes finding free accessories can be a challenge.  Today I decided to visit a store I haven’t been to in years:  Dark Mouse.  I found this sweet bow necklace gift on the main counter.  It comes in 4 colors, and is free for all store shoppers – no group join required!   Ramping up Dark Mouse’s freebielicious appeal are four luckyboards.   For those of you with Lindens burning a hole in your virtual pockets, there are scads of cute extremely low priced (25L) items to be had.
ASU - SpringBloomsShoe
I added Breathe’s stylish, but not overly dressy, Choko heels to polish off the look.  The colors featured in the gift HUD are perfect for spring and summer attire.  As an added benefit, the HUD separates the heels into three color zones allowing for tons of combinations.  Simply join Breathe’s free group to make these lovely sandals your very own.
Until we meet again, happy shopping!

It’s So Easy

ASU - inaboxcover3

HAIR |SL Marketplace.Alli&Ali Designs Hair.Invincible Hair (FUCTIONAL DEMO) – men's dark brown fade (free)
| OUTFIT |The Free Dove.Suna Design.Kim Outfit – Dress/Heels/Necklace Maitreya/Slink/Belleza/TMP/5 standards(NO alpha) (GG/free)

I love hassle free shopping!  Nothing tickles me more than opening a box packed with a complete outfit.  Yesterday I visited The Free Dove and found the Kim outfit.  Kim comes with a sexy little dress, strappy heels, and a mesh necklace.  If tomato red is one of your colors, then this dress is for you!
Today’s featured hair is the Invincible functional demo from Alli & Ali.  Invincible is actually a rigged mesh man’s hairstyle.  The hairline has a wide widow’s peak that I chose to minimize by wearing a dark hairbase.  From the front Invincible simply looks like a unisex style.  However, when viewed from the back, the gap between a female’s body and the flowing hair is a dead giveaway that it was rigged for men.
That gap is not necessarily a bad thing.  Rigged men’s long hairstyles offer the perfect workaround for females desirous of wearing long hair with bulky coats and hoodies.  I always recommend wearing the bulking item you’d like your hair to flow over, then trying rigged male demos.  This way you’re able to check if the fit will work for you without wasting your Lindens.
ASU - inaboxshoe
I almost forgot to mention that both the dress, and the heels are sized for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, and TMP mesh bodies.  The heels are sized for high feet only.
Enjoy the quick change!

FYI:  Today’s look could be the new you!  This entire avatar, from head to toe, is free.  The mesh head/body is none other than the lovely Valentina gift from Altamura to Ajuda Brasil Voluntarios.  I even found a skirt at Kamiri that includes a mesh model specifically for the Altamura body.  Of course, the Kina miniskirt is also sized to fit Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, eBODY Curvy, and TMP bodies.
ASU - Must love kittieseyes
Here’s a nice closeup of those feline eyes.  They come with an eight color HUD.  Catwa and Omega compatible head wearers can use the included appliers.  Everyone else can wear the mesh eyes controlled by a color change HUD.
This whimsical hairstyle is one of several past group gifts available for members of NYNE’s free group.  Odell comes with a color picker HUD which allows for unlimited color changing.   Two rigged mesh models are included, one for regular and the other for boobies.

Basket Up!

ASU - Easter Hunt1cover

HAIR |EMO-tions.Leotie – fatpack w/silver or gold jewels rigged (GG/free)
| HEADBAND |{Poeme}.Bunny Earcovers – mod/copy (hunt gift/free)
| JEWELRY|{Poeme}.Blue Bead Earrings – gold & silver copy/mod (hunt gift/free)

| SHOES |{Poeme}.Blue Egg – Sandals Maitreya/Slink/Belleza (hunt gift/free)
| HANDBAG |{Poeme}.Green Dot Egg – Tote bag copy/mod (hunt gift/free)

Success!  I found an Easter Hunt with free prizes.  The Good Eggs Hunt runs April 12th – 21st, and features 14 stores harboring 6 hidden eggs each giving out a whopping 84 prizes.  The eggs are hidden mostly in plain sight making the hunt challenging in a fun way.  The Good Eggs Hunt links lead to the start point, where you can collect a landmark HUD and a cute wearable Easter basket.  So, basket up chicks, it’s time to find some eggs!
This cute Spring blue outfit comes together after finding all 6 of Poeme’s hunt eggs.  The bunny headphones and handbag are copy/mod which allowed me to turn off full bright for the photo shoot.  Classic avatars will appreciate that the skirt’s packaging not only supports mesh models, but also includes the 5 standard sizes plus an alpha layer.
ASU - Easter Huntface
I popped over to EMO-tions in hopes of finding a hairstyle that would work with the headband, and I wasn’t disappointed.  The Leotie hairstyle actually has extra hair jewelry hanging down from the leather braid, but since it is copy/mod I was able to make them invisible, which prevented the embellishments from upstaging headbands fluffy goodness.

Though I’ve assembled six outfits, there is still one last store to visit.  Arata Shouten has generously set out their 2019 Skin Fair mesh eyes gift as a store freebie for all visitors.  These eyes have a captivating quality that enhances the look of any avatar.   The gift includes a  texture HUD plus six sets of mesh eyes sized for 6DOO, Catwa, Genus, and LAQ heads.
If you don’t have any of those mesh heads, but would like to  wear the eyes, it’s not a problem.  Since the mesh eyes are unrigged they’ll work with any mesh head or classic avatar by simply positioning/resizing in edit mode.  Classic avatars will also need to wear an eye alpha.
Until we meet again, shop happy!
