    Glam Affair

    Glam Affair

    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.

    Glam Affair – Nicta (Ivory) | w/ Izzie’s & other tattoo fixes

    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. 🙂

    Glam Affair
    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.

    Drizzle

    Hello from Cherishville! This stunning autumn region is a must-visit for any fall enthusiast and photographer. It’s finally feeling like autumn here, and I couldn’t be happier. Bring on the rainy days and cozy vibes!

    Even in the rain, when my energy drink cravings hit, I find myself walking to the store to grab one. This NRG can from Flair is amazing—it features an animated drink opening sequence and even includes a static hold pose. Plus, it comes with a handy HUD to change colors!

    I’m always on the hunt for staple pieces to add to my wardrobe. Recently, I picked up the Archer top and Micro shorts from Tres Blah. They pair beautifully with the Alexa Overknee Legwarmers from Gawk.

    Do avatars have a nighttime routine? I’d like to think that Gogo does. Inspired by the elegant ladies of bygone eras, I decided to ‘dress up’ for bed. Picture-perfect hair, flawless makeup, and a touch of moisturizer to keep everything fresh. For my outfit, I’ve chosen the exquisite Dainty top and skirt set from Blume at Anthology.

    With so many events and so little time, I had a blast at the TSS Party and scored an abundance of gifts. However, the real challenge came afterward—I spent two days meticulously opening each gift and sorting through them, deciding what to keep and what to discard. My inventory is getting out of hand, aiming to keep it under 70k.

    After putting this look together, I realized I could totally fit into the world of Bridgerton. I absolutely adore this outfit in Second Life. While I usually stick to casuals, when it’s time to “dress up,” I naturally gravitate toward elegant historical gowns. In a crowd of everyday wear, standing out in something romantic and girly is a delight.

    When I’m dressed like this, I feel like I should be called Lady Gorgeous Waterton of Cloud.

    What is your Bridgerton name?

    1. “Lord” or “Lady”
    2. Your 1st name (SL or RL)

    4. of

    Sweets in Bed

    Sometimes, you just crave a churro in bed. As a food and holdables enthusiast, the Sweet Churro set from Kreamy was irresistible.

    This month’s round of Anthology is stellar. Lately, I’ve been judging hair in PBR and noticed some of my old favorites are obsolete due to alpha issues. The designers haven’t mentioned any updates, so I’m on the hunt for new hair brands to adore. Enter Ade. Although the color HUD is limited in light blonde options, the roots and bold colors are fantastic. The texture is incredibly realistic and looks phenomenal in PBR.

    While hot pink isn’t usually my style, I’ve been hitting the clubs more frequently. The Cedar outfit by Havoc is perfect for a night out. Just yesterday, I got an invite to a Second Life club and had a blast! Huge thanks to Bryce Sun for inviting me to NRGY!

    Lost in the woods

    I absolutely love nature and serene landscapes in Second Life. My friend Sparkle Skye’s region, which neighbors mine, is a popular spot with enchanting flowering fields and a stunning waterfall. It’s the perfect place to lose yourself, explore the beauty of nature, and take amazing photos.

    Recently, I tried on the Alida Outfit from Everfaery, and let me tell you, it’s super cute with tons of options! For just L$495, it’s a fantastic deal. However, I didn’t realize it was soooo short—it’s basically the length of a shirt. So, if you’re okay with your butt cheeks hanging out, go for it! Personally, that’s not really my thing, but I’ll still wear it.

    Lately, I’ve been filming more short videos in Second Life, just to practice and capture fun moments. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel (JuicyBomb); I always upload videos there first!

    Going to a Second Life Dance Club

    A Sorta Fairytale

    My friend Fay sent me the most beautiful gown from Sofia. It’s the Cher gown and sandals, exclusively available at The Arcade. With our fancy new gowns, we decided to twin and revisit the formal dance club for another twirl. But the second we got to the club, Fay changed her gown at the door, leaving me standing there in this elegant gown with a long chapel train, looking all glamorous by myself.

    I wanted to see if my initial impression of the club was accurate, and it turns out, it was. To capture this quirky experience, I filmed it to practice working with crowded scenes and to show you why I find this club so bizarre. There’s a bunch of guys just standing around, silent and rarely asking anyone to dance. Maybe they’re bots? I have no clue what they’re waiting for. The people dancing mostly came with their partners. After awkwardly dancing alone with Fay for what felt like ages, I accepted a quick dance from someone and then left.

    I really love the concept of a formal club; it’s such a great chance to practice filming different angles. But finding a dance partner who matches your height, aesthetics, will actually ask you to dance, and isn’t hitting on you the whole time seems like an impossible ask.

    Dancing is a popular activity in Second Life, enjoyed by everyone, whether solo or with friends. I haven’t frequented clubs much before, but I’m thinking of starting! I’ll give them all a try. If you have any recommendations, let me know in the comments!

    MachiniconSL

    I recently had the pleasure of attending MachiniconSL, an exciting event hosted by Bay City Studios and brought to life by the talented Feorie Frimon. Known for her passion for machinima in Second Life, Feorie has provided countless tutorials on YouTube that have proven invaluable. Thanks to one of her videos, I even learned how to create a PBR mirror in Second Life!

    This is the inaugural MachiniconSL event, open to visitors until September 26th. Upon arrival, you’re welcomed onto a clear path reminiscent of a theme park, setting the stage for a self-guided tour brimming with helpful insights and creative filming tips.

    MachiniconSL

    One of the highlights for me was the immediate immersion into various meticulously crafted scenes, perfect for snapping photos or capturing videos. The opportunity to support the event is also present, whether through shopping at the numerous stores or donating to the Child’s Play charity at designated kiosks.

    The experience was not only enjoyable but incredibly inspiring. I even ended up filming an impromptu dance video! MachiniconSL offers numerous engaging activities—bring a friend, dance, re-enact a fight scene, explore an underground bunker, or simply have fun experimenting with an array of animations.

    Don’t miss out on this fantastic event! Visit MachiniconSL and let your creativity soar!

    Autumn Glow

    Hello from Evergarden Equestrian!

    A couple of days ago, I decided to visit Collabor88 to snag this adorable Maple Dress from Tres Blah. Typically, my event visits are quick—I know what I want, grab it, and leave. So, I teleported home, slipped into my new dress, and then, to my surprise, received an IM from a mysterious stranger.

    Long story short, he had seen me at Collabor88 and invited me to a dance club. Feeling adventurous, I agreed. But once we arrived, I realized I was too casually dressed for the very formal venue.

    This encounter got me thinking… For the men of Second Life, approaching ladies at events is surprisingly clever. It’s the perfect setting to meet stylish, well-dressed women! While I’m not seeking anything serious in Second Life, I occasionally do enjoy accepting a dance with a kind stranger.

    Made a quick video to show off the Alyssa Heels from G Field.

    To complete my outfit, I picked up these stunning Alyssa Heels from G Field. I used to be a huge fan of G Field and even blogged about them frequently. Their store used to be right next to my region! However, with the advent of mesh bodies, my interest shifted elsewhere. Recently, while casually searching for new PBR shoes, I was thrilled to discover this pair of heels priced at just L$200 for a fatpack. Amazing! It’s exciting to see that G Field is back and making PBR shoes again.

    Spoonful of Sugar Festival

    Spoonful of Sugar Festival

    I recently snagged the new Wings hairstyle at Collabor88, which comes with a charming hair flower that can be tinted to match any outfit—so versatile! Wings hair is usually flawless, but I did encounter some hairline transparency issues with this one. I’m not sure if it’s a PBR viewer alpha glitch or a universal issue with the hair itself. If you’ve noticed the same problem, I’d love to hear about your experience and any fixes you’ve found.

    If you love shopping with a purpose, the Spoonful of Sugar event is currently live and raising funds for Doctors Without Borders. I’m thrilled to blog about this event to boost fundraising efforts, especially given the urgent need for medical aid worldwide.

    Spoonful of Sugar Festival

    As a makeup enthusiast, I couldn’t resist sharing some fantastic finds from Izzie’s at the SOS event. The Summer Eyeshadow set from Izzie’s offers a versatile palette of colors. Although it’s called a summer set, its warm browns and oranges make it perfect for autumn looks too. The set includes eyeliners and an extra eyelid shine layer, which is fantastic for mix-and-match potential without overlapping eyeliners.

    Spoonful of Sugar Festival

    Another highlight of the event is Alaskametro, a region sponsor for the SOS Festival. They offer a delightful Paris eyeshadow L$20 gift. I also adore their Tujours makeup palette, featuring 6 eyeshadows and 6 lipsticks. Impressively, the entire Alaskametro store at the event is a 100% donation, so make sure to visit Alaskametro at SOS and shop for a worthy cause.

    Happy shopping, and let’s help make a difference together!
