Day 3 of Brunette hair. I think I like this look, what do you guys think? The new Ebba skin from Laqroki has just the right shade(s) of Brown brows, so I could be light Brown or dark Brown hair. I haven’t decided if I will wear Brown hair all the time, but I’m having fun rediscovering all the different Brown shades from various brands.
The new Skyline Dress from Hucci is so shiny and sexy, IF I had some fabulous SL parties to attend, I would wear this. 🙂
Truth released these four hairstyles a few days ago. I’ve been wearing it but not blogging it properly.. so here you go, new hair!! I’m wearing Abbey, Hannah, Piper and Lauren all in Mirage texture.
I’m not really big on Halloween, it’s not my favorite holiday. But I did find the freebie CriCri Halloween gift I picked up in early October. It’s Pumpkin colored & really cute.. except for the seam on the pants. But hey, it’s free so what do I care 😀 The outfit also includes shopping bags and free matching hair (not worn here). It might still be available @ the main store.
AOHARU has just released these gorgeous Suede Laced Up Sandals and they're super cute, they look like high heels shoes for ballerinas! I could totally dance around in these, the lace legwarmers are a nice touch, you can wear the shoe with or without them.

The shoes are great but you'll need to increase your RenderAvatarLODFactor and
RenderVolumeLODFactor in order to view them at their best when zooming out for full-length photos. To do this, enable the ADVANCE menu buy pressing ctrl+alt+D on your keyboard; then go to the Advanced tab -> Debug Settings, find RenderAvatarLODFactor and RenderVolumeLODFactor and increase them to 10 (just a guess, it worked for me, the default was 1.0).

Stitch by Stitch has recently released the adorable (and very tall) BOND GIRL hair. It’s adorable and I just love the decorative braid securing the bun in place. I like big hair, and I want to put flowers or feathers all around it Marie Antoinette.
I’m feeling extra girlie today, so I’ve paired a few of older items in my inventory with some recent purchases, like the adorable Love Soul tights (with lace frills) and Stitch by Stitch Ibiza bag and the gorgeous ~flirt~ Bloom Set:Rhodochrostite RFL2009 version jewelry set.

If you asked me about my top two favorite skin brands on Second Life, they’d definitely be Amara Beauty and Glam Affair. Shout out to these amazing creators for making faces that are both sweet and easy to wear. My favorite brand at any given moment really depends on their latest release. I was a dedicated Glam Affair fan for months earlier this year, but around May, I switched to Amara Beauty. The reason? My favorite tone, Beige, started looking too orange. I suspected that PBR was affecting my tone preferences, so I tried a lighter shade, Flower. Still, it didn’t resonate with me. Given how much skin tones rely on shading and highlights, I made the switch.
I was happily wearing Amara Beauty for a while, but no brand is perfect. I still layered dozens of Izzie’s products on my face to fix the skin. This is why I don’t really do skin reviews anymore—it’s hard for others to replicate the look after I’ve customized it so much.
Anyway, today I’m back in a Glam Affair skin, and it’s not without its challenges. When I tried on the Nicta skin, I saw so much potential. It felt like “me” for a moment, though there were issues. I didn’t like the heavy highlights on the lips or the odd side highlight on the forehead above the brows. What’s going on there? I called my go-to skin doctor, Izzie Button (Izzie’s), and asked her to create a custom fix for the lips so I could wear my favorite lipsticks again and to remove the bizarre forehead highlight. She did it! One thing I appreciate about Izzie is that she’s always willing to create custom fixes for skins. If you need Dr. Izzie, feel free to message her in-world—she says I can tell you that. 🙂
Face Shine 25% Opacity & Face Shine 100% Opacity
Now that we have PBR lighting, I find myself drawn to face highlights, but not the overly baked-on kind. I like options, and Glam Affair included a Face Shine layer at 100%, 50%, and 25% opacity. If you prefer your own face shine, just wear the skin as-is and add on Izzie’s Highlighter Set to your liking.
This Glam Affair Nicta skin isn’t perfect to me, mainly due to the face and lip shine and the freckles on the nose that can’t be removed or fixed with Izzie’s tattoos. The freckles mean I can’t use Izzie’s Nose Shading fix, as it removes freckles only on one side. So you might be wondering, “Gogo, if you have to make so many adjustments, why wear the skin at all?” Just look at it! With Izzie’s help, I managed to fix about 90% of the issues, and now it feels like me. I decided that my new tone from Glam Affair is now Ivory, because it looks the best in PBR lighting and matches my current body tone.
Do you wear a skin without any additional tattoo layer fixes? Let me know in the comments, because I haven’t been able to do that in a very long time. I almost never wear the original brows that come with any skins—I guess I’m just complicated like that.
