Stunning… Tuli Bella skins will be released Friday, November 6th!
There are 10 makeups available for each skin tone, 3 brows and 3 cleavage choices. I really like the diverse makeups for these skins, I love it when designers use tons of different colors so you feel like you’re getting your money’s worth with a fatpack. The same lipstick color with different eyeshadow is BORING! That’s not worthy of a fatpack purchase – but Tuli’s does them all differently and I really appreciate that. <3
These makeups are stunning, and one of them is called Gogo (top image, middle). All these makeups are named for people in SL, so it was kind of interesting to see how Tuli interprets each one of us through her makeups.
The cleavages!
Showing off one of the Push Up cleavage choices! YAY for a stunning body.

The world around us right now is changing, and a lot of people are rejecting old racist ideologies that have made up quite a bit of America’s history. It’s daunting to want to get outside and protest, but luckily, there’s a lot of messed-up things within Second Life you can turn your attention to. You don’t even need to leave your chair!
Because I’m black, it’s easy for me to see all of the things I have seen and not be surprised by them anymore. I can’t say the same of my white counterparts. I think the breadth of how ugly race is depicted in this game might shock some of you.
It can also tell you some of why I decided to largely part from the game and am looking at its gradual changes with trepidation. Other virtual worlds have more updated stances and intolerance for these things, and yet this stuff persists by and far in Second Life because… I don’t know why. Free speech? Is that it? I don’t know anymore.
I will now go in and describe the tiers on which this problem persists in this virtual world.
I'm a huuuge fan of Picnik.com, and recently they added more photo editing tools, like touch-up and makeup brushes!! Check out the before and after photos above. I added some blush, lipstick and slight bronzer on the skin. This is fun!!
To access these tools you must subscribe, the fee is $25US/year or you can purchase month-to-month. It's SO worth it.
✿ cheLLe ✿ Frosty Cheeks is a colorful blush set that’s perfect for Wintertime! You can wear this to get a subtle look, or a dramatic look with the Blue or Purple Frosty cheeks!
✿ cheLLe ✿ Frost Bitten is a set of six lipstains that adds a bit of color to any skin. Get this if you love lip colors!
Who thought it was a good idea to drop ugly concrete homes on our cherished waterfront?
I love Bellisseria. That’s no secret. I’ve loved it since the launch in 2019 and I even went Lifetime Premium so I could keep my little homes forever.
Yesterday I woke up to find that the new Ridgewood Enclave, which first appeared on the west coast of the OG Bellisseria continent, has now crept north and is just one region away from blocking my beloved Victorian Linden Home. It’s one region away from destroying my waterfront view.
Unblockable waterfront is the dream in Second Life. People pay big money for it on private estates and when it comes with a Linden Home for the cost of a yearly Premium subscription it feels like winning the lottery. For years we believed our rare coastal homes were secure, that our unblockable views would always stay that way. That sense of security was tossed out the window this week when Second Life started building in front of the very views that made Bellisseria magical.
I’m disappointed. I know many residents who live along these coasts will feel the same sadness when their open water is suddenly replaced with rows of concrete houses. Bellisseria was supposed to be the sure thing, the continent where you could settle in, decorate, and trust that your neighborhood and view would remain untouched. Now that certainty is gone.
Part of the charm of Bellisseria is its consistency. When we choose a theme we expect it to stay that way with only minimal or optional updates. We don’t want drastic changes that undo the very reasons we moved there in the first place.
I wasn’t going to say anything. But the truth is, as residents, we should feel free to voice our opinions when the HOA, also known as Linden Lab, makes sweeping decisions without considering the people already living there. It’s not unreasonable to expect at least one buffer row of ocean regions between themes, something to preserve the views and avoid jarring transitions.
Bellisseria isn’t just a collection of regions. It’s the neighborhoods and views that matter to us, and we don’t want to see them ruined.
Candy Fair opens tonight, at midnight SLT! This fair is huge (3 sims) but organized into categories and SLurls are included, for your shopping pleasure! I’ve included a list of the SLurls below the cut, so you can teleport directly to each brand.
I’m wearing Katat0nik’s Delicacy Dress (not a Candy Fair item) cos it goes so well with this sweet theme. There are so many kawaii goodness, it was really hard not to wear everything — but I managed to put together a really sweet outfit! I’m wearing the new OTK Socks from Mon Cheri, Hard Candy Purse & Mad Cupcake Hat from YumYum, and Lollipop Necklace from Tea Soup.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel Skin
Truth Hair – Felicity
Katat0nik – (Pink/Average) Delicacy Dress
Mon Cheri – OTK Socks (S)
YumYum – Hard Candy Purse (Lemon Meringue)
YumYum – Mad Cupcake Hat (Tardy Rabbit) RARE
Tea Soup – Lollipop Necklace (Gold) Wild Berry
Petite Bowtique – Lollipop Nails SLink
It was SLove at first sight when I saw a teaser picture of this Laqroki Aline skin. Even though I really tried to wear this skin with Blonde hair, it just wouldn’t have done the skin justice. Like many Laqroki fans, I’m sure we’re all waiting for Mallory to release brows on a tattoo layer! *hint hint* 😛
There are 10 makeups per skin tone, and brown hair base is included. I *love* lighter makeups in this set, they’re just so natural and beautiful.
Here’s a close-up of one of my favorite makeups! So colorful and tropical! <3
you dont deserve to have the skins before the people who PAY for them and help the creator by giving out money tothem. You’re a nobody and it’s sad that the creator passes these to you over the people who pay her fucking bills. bullshit!
@Shannen, I don’t see how it is ‘bullshit’ when a creator wishes to send review copies to people they know will blog & help publicize their creations. IRL the media often get exclusive previews of unreleased items so they can publicize it to the general public. It’s no different in SL — I know my blog is not “the biggest” blog, but I get 2,000 hits daily. If a handful of those hits translate to sales for the creators, then I think it is well worth it for them.
Blogs are a great way for designers to promote their creations, and anyone who thinks Gogo doesn’t deserve these has no idea how hard she works. I’d be willing to bet that most designers blogged by her see an increase in sales after the post. Why would you attack a blogger for promoting something that a designer has sent her?

These are amazing skins.. so beautiful, some of Tuli’s best yet and the photos are amazing as usual gogo.
Shannen.. you obviously have an issue with gogo.. why do you troll her blog. If you don’t like her dont read, pretty simple to work out, even though I’m sure she appreciates your hits raising her rank.
Shannen, you must be very frustrated and full of jealousy to react like this. Gogo is not “nobody” she is doing very much in the blogger field and for many designers here she offers us a plattform to present ourselfs for free. I think she dedicates her whole life to this project more or less. If you want to be in her shoes and get stuff for free you must deserve it. And that means hard work instead of moaning.
Glad to hear Tuli is well enough to get the skin’s out, they look fabulous!
Btw, personal attacks on bloggers? wtf? Shannon, can you imagine how often bloggers would be able to post stuff if they had to pay for EVERYTHING? *wonders if Gogo wears diamond shoes and sleeps on a big pile of money…..* 🙂
Shannen, I’m a creator and I absolutely think it’s the right thing to do to give bloggers (especially really good ones like Gogo) review copies. SL doesn’t have “foot traffic” in the same sense as RL, so the only way to let people know that you’ve made new content (besides group notices, which are less than effective) is to give it to bloggers that you know will (a) be able to show it off with amazing pictures, and (b) be able to get your content viewed by a lot more people than any other medium possible. I always see increased sales after bloggers post my stuff, so sending them free review copies ALWAYS translates into more sales and therefore more cash for me. Also, awesome point Leeloo.
Aside from that: Omigosh, I <3 Tuli and these are her most amazing work yet I think. I usually just buy singles, but I'm totally thinking of splurging on the whole fatpack this time around. 😀
Shannen, i for one am for speaking up about things your concerned with , but no one is a nobody and no one deserves to be treated like that. i do not like the idea of review copies because of giving something so that you can get shown (it can turn pretty bad pretty fast with people using it to buy there way up the ladder of popularity. my own personal opinions, which i might get flogged about, but i have seen people do this in different areas of society.it’s different if you give items without any strings to bloggers or anyone, and bloggers can simply enjoy it or say something . also, theres the downside where you end up only wanting to blog things you have had sent to you and can often get stuck into a cycle of showing mostly those items from those creators, another bummer )
i know what it is like to feel fed up over the way things are set (in the media and secondlife and socicity in general). but no matter what treat everyone with respect . she didnt deserve what you said, and you wouldnt deserve to be treated like that. from personal experince, it hurts to have someone shove you and thats what it felt like :/. if your burned up about something, then speak about it but when you do take your time to think about your side her side and all the other sides and also how you would like to be treated if someone had something to say to you. anyway, to gogo, i like how you handled it, kudos to you and have a great evening.

Wow Shannen jealous much? I love your blog Gogo and have made purchases because of your awesome and in depth reviews. <3
