Skin Expo or "Why Pumpkin's Linden Account Is Empty"

Sigh.

It's like all of the skin designers got together and said, "Hmm...how can we make people go broke this month? Ooh! Let's all get together and release our gorgeous new skins at the same time and donate some profits to charity!!"

They're evil, I tells ya! It's okay, though. Let me warn you: I will be showing non-free skins as well as some free ones because they truly are lovely. I'll mark the non-free ones.

Exodi has out some great freebies from the "Lily" line, the 'Frosted' makeups. The tones are as follow: cedar, cherry, dove, elm and they come with dark and light brow options. In the pic below I'm wearing the dark brow option.



Lovely (free) skins, courtesy of Exodi.


Likewise for [RockBerry], as Miss Heather has put out some cute skins from her "Megan" line.


I love the green eyeshadow!


Damiani has a gift for the ladies which includes this bikini that has an opened and closed option. Pretty neat!



Open sesame!

Kunglers released another gift for the members of it's in-world group! You know it's gonna be a good day when they treat us to another present, since they always give out such great stuff!

Lucky gifts with pearls

If you are a member of the Alienbear update group & like kittehs, you need to go to the special groupplacethingy! There you will find the latest group gift: Kitty earrings & pearl necklace. Very pretty & very much worthy of that precious groupspace <3
The Tomoto Update group also requires a group slot, but in return you can win lovely tops from the Lucky boards. There are more colors in the lucky boards than the one I'm showing in this post :)
The lucky board at Haven designs is open for everyone! If you want this blue silk (well it's a pretty top for me, since I'm not gor (NO really, Laleeta, I'm not!)) you have time till the end of the month... For a little more fabric, you can go to Urbanity and if you join the subscribo you'll get this BF shirt.

Happy shopping weekend!

Girls can get + blacklisted +

Gauge Laville, the beautifully twisted owner of + blacklisted +, has shown his love to his female subscribo members with an awesome t-shirt called 'Sex Bomb Diva' in teal! He even sent it in two layers (jacket & shirt/panties). The only catch? You had to have previously been subscribed to it in order to snag it. Not to worry if you missed your shirt. It's on sale in the store! Be sure to smack that subscribo for future updates (and future gifts).



This shirt is great for showing off your rack! I'm sure that's just a coincidence. *coughs*


The gorgeous skin I'm wearing comes from the skin goddess known as Heather Beebe of [RockBerry]. If you've been salivating (and crying) over her torturous teaser pics that she's been sending out via her in-world group, let me tell you, it's worth the wait. While not free, her skins are very generously priced (not to mention jaw-dropping gorgeous so you MUST fatpack). Her hotly anticipated follow up to her mega-successful 'Uma' line is called 'Farrah' and it's all kinds of smexy. It'll be available at the Skin & Shape Expo, which starts on September 26th!

Fabuloso, but it ain't free:
-Shirt: +blacklisted + (if you buy it -- $120L)
-Hair: Exile (hair color packs are only $100L for a limited time!)
-Jeans: *League*
-Skin: [RockBerry] (will be available for the Skin & Shape Expo on Sept. 26th)

Hello girlies (and dudes)! I've got some nice treats for you today, look below!


Cupcakes sent out a set of five tones in a new makeup from their Enchanted line to their in-world group ($100L to join)! In the pic below, I'm wearing the Sienna tone with freckles. The top & armband are from Zeery. They're $1L a piece. I previously blogged Zeery's last in-store gift here (his & her ties). Zeery uses lovely textures in her items. She's a new designer/creator, so show your support by stopping by her store and have a look!



I love the color of Zeery's newest dollarbies!


Whenever Jungeun Vella of JE*Republic drops off items on me, I know that I'm going to like them. Jungeun has a flair for fashion -- just look at her awesome hair and beautiful clothing -- and she's also a very generous person. She places quality items in her lucky chairs and her items are very reasonably priced. It's only mid-September, but Jungeun is already in the Halloween spirit! She's offering a full outfit (you'll be a sexy orange-clad witch) up for the low price of $50L and yes, the shoes and scepter are included!



I'm digging the color of JE*Republic's new costume!


If you're a member of the subscribo from Dutch Touch, you more than likely received the latest gift -- two lovely skins! If you're not subscribed, you should do so. Dutch Touch gives out loads of awesome gifts and also has hunts, which are announced via the subscribo.



Pretty stuff.


Finally, Sassy Kitty Designs gave out a bundle of tops through *their* subscribo! Cute and sexy, you're sure to turn some heads when wearing one of these tops.



Small tops to show off your goods.

Ivalde is switching over from the update group to a subscribo matic! So now you can stay updated on Nef's latest releases without sacrificing a groupslot. If you check the notices you will find a notecard that you might want to read, because in that notecard there's a box with not 1 but 2 dresses!

And in other news, there's a pretzel hunt going on. It starts here and there are 102 stores in total. I am showing the gift from Indi designs & Swanson.

Ah Lo Lo and it's forbidden fruit

This post has to go superfast, because it's about a hunt that will end in a couple of days! The Lo Lo sim is home to Caroline's jewelry, Ingenue and other fabulous stores. Until Sept 20 there will be a little apple hunt going on all over the sim. Even if you're a pear person, I'd still say you have to do this, just because the sim is very very beatiful!

All you need is... Lucky boards

I found out yesterday there were lucky boards at The Plastik, so ofcourse I was SO there. There are 9 prizes in 3 boards. You have to have your group tag activated (The group joining board is right next to the lucky boards).
The paper.doll subscribo was also kind enough to give me a (very short but cute) dress. All you need is love, right?

Lucky Board skins

I was tipped off that a new-to-me store by the name of .:TwilyThula:. had some cute skins in their four lucky boards. Boy, were they right! Four tones, all natural makeups, and some freckle options! They're really lovely! They also have skins available for purchase in many different makeup options as well!



Lovely skins just waiting for you to win them!

My Poison

He he, what an emo sounding title isn't it? Well the reason for it is because Cyanide, a store I blogged about a few days ago, released a new subscribo gift for having reached 200 subscribers. Congrats! It's this gorgeous skin and I must say I love it!

Skin subscribo gift, Cyanide

If you stop by Cyanide do look around, they have some very nice stuff like this lingerie set that I could totally see myself wear to relax all day around my house. It's not free but it allowed me to show off that tattoo which is the new group gift from Pididdle!

Showing some skin.

It's common knowledge, given my previous posts, that I might have a *slight* skin addiction. Most people might say that the first step to beating any addiction is to admit that you have one. Well, maybe this is one addiction I don't want to fight? So ha! To my fellow skin whores, this post is for you!


&Bean sent out some group gift skins, so if you're in their in-world group, make sure you get them! They're perfect for the upcoming Halloween season...or even just for stumbling around the grid in! They're not for everyone, but they might just be your cup of tea. They released boy skins and girl skins, so that's good for all of you guys who enjoy getting free stuff too! In my picture wearing the girl skins, I'm wearing the facial piercings from Otaku Designs. It's their Twisted Hunt gift!

Boy skins from &Bean -- dig the strategically placed heart? :-D


Next up is this group gift of skins from a new-to-me store called Aimesi. I found out about these skins from one of our Cupcake readers, Miss KawaiiNicole. Thanks Nicole! They have 8 skin tones with three makeup options for group members. That's right, 24 skins total. In the store, they also have four bikinis for free, which I'm wearing in the pics below!



A very generous gift from Aimesi.



ElfPyre is currently having a skin naming contest! If your creative juices are flowing, this should be up your alley. Grab the demo skin here (the skin is demo marked on the body only, not on the face) and write a short essay explaining why Daarc's newest skin line should be named...say, Rocky. Then send the essay and a picture to Daarc Dagger. The deadline is September 20th and a winner will be picked about a week later. What do you win? The entire skin line for free before it's released to the public and the opportunity to model the skins for ads. Good luck to any participants!



Will my name be 'Rocky'?


My new favorite skin place, Pink Fuel, is involved in another hunt (the Diamond Hunt) and has another skin up for grabs! Laleeta blogged about it hurr, but that didn't stop me from showing off Mochi Milena's skin yet again! :-D I'm also wearing the S.O.S. Hunt gift from Modd.G., which is a really cute dress that would brighten anyone's day right up!



Beautiful skin and a dress - both for free!


Last, but certainly not least, is a DSN gift I got from *Reale*, which is a lovely pink dress. It has delicate lacing and is just gorgeous. If you're subscribed to the DSN but haven't gotten it, don't worry, you might be getting it soon! *Reale* also has this dress on sale at their main store for $200L and in various colors.

The hunt is on.

Hey guys, guess what? There's a hunt going on! I know, it's been a while since the last SL hunt, so I know that you're ready for this one! ;) The hunt going on now at the Thibedeau sim (called the Avatar Crossing hunt) has some great gifts! I can't show them all, but trust me, you'll definitely want to do this one.



L to R: RBCG hoodie, Squishyface tee, [BUTT-ERR] tee & Pink Fuel skin & necklace



L to R: Untitled tee, Medley halter, Rebel-X outfit, \RCS\ shirt



I went to So Many Styles earlier to nab their $50L Friday gift and walked out with some cute freebies. I was also introduced to a new-to-me store called Zeery, which features Indian couture. While their selection is limited at the moment, I think it shows great promise! Be sure to have a look around and don't forget the two freebies they have -- his & her silk ties!



L to R: SMS tunic, SMS transy black shirt w/pink & brick ties from Zeery.


I absolutely ADORE the skin from Pink Fuel. It's seriously becoming my new favorite skin! I recently bought a fatpack of [PF] designer Mochi Milena's 'Raine' skin line and fell in love. Her gift for the Thibedeau hunt ('Skye' - Ganguro) is exquisite! Plus, it comes with face stickers (hearts and stars) and two necklaces (a long and short version with spine and chest attachement areas). I can't wait until she releases the whole Skye skin line!

Okay not really but you might! And if you do I highly recommend to swing by Eternity Brides to check out their new Florence Bridalwear Range, it's truly gorgeous.

Plus if you do you might find some bargains there...

You can find Eternity Brides on the second floor from the landing point and just because I know you guys want to see me wear a wedding gown (read: I did) here is a pic of the Florence wedding gown.

Florence Bridalwear Range 1300L, Eternity Brides

The gown isn't purplish as it might look on this picture but actually just as white as the dress featured above. But isn't it gorgeous? I made myself get all mushy over it! I might start wearing it around just because it's that awesome! Oh and if you guys get married wearing it then I want you to send me pictures you hear me?

Here Little Fishy, fishy...

I went wandering around today. What was I looking for, you ask? Nothing in particular. Did I get anything good, you ask? Yes, yes I did. Let me show you!


My first stop was to Tuli. She sent a notice yesterday about new pick rewards skins available this month. Having the store in my picks, I jumped over and scooped them up. "Hope" in onyx, with it's smokey eyes is lovely, of course. You get five tones with four colored eyebrow options. I'm wearing the red option in all tones below. Next, I went to Little Fish, where I scored this pretty yellow Chinese-style dress from one of the lucky boards. Finally, I puttered over to Lazy Places to grab Miss Sakuradawn Lei's Demonology Hunt gift, which are these cute hooves.



Awesome stuff from: Lazy Places, Tuli and Little Fish!
