My friend Umeko tipped me off about the fabulous free Mon Amie friends pose chair inside the *.:Mon amie-goer:.* group (check notices!). It's adorable and includes 5 different lounging poses changeable via clicking the cushion. The Mon Amie pose chair is by Tuli Asturias and has great shabby chic textures. This is perfect for my place, I mix and match a lot of items from beachy to french.. I do it all! 😀
Can you believe this casual outfit only cost me $2L? The pants are from Zaara's shop and they're on sale for $1l for a limited time (I have no idea when it ends, so hurry!). Then, while I was at Mon Amie, browsing around, I saw a free t-shirts and tank tops gift box, also by Tuli. I think I look darn good for $2L! 😀
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.
I’m shimmering in Pink from head-to-toe thanks to Kungler’s newest Karinna Lollipop outfit. This outfit includes the sculpted top, sculpted skirt, leggings, nails, and bracelet (not worn). I’ve paired it with the Eccentrica jewelry set from Donna Flora.
If this is your first BBBC… What did you get out of your experience? Do you think it will change the way you blog in the future? (BBBC Day 5)
Well, this is my first BBBC and I may or may not do it again next year, depending on what my schedule is like. I thought some of the topics were fun, but since I'm already a daily blogger it didn't really push me to blog more often, which was the goal for some other people.
But I'm glad I stuck it through, been fun! I guess it was a nice change to not blog fashion all the time, but I don't really have much I want to blog about outside of fashion.
