New 42 Skins and Mojo Sale!
Yayyyy, skins.. one of my true passions in SLife! Well you have to say that when you own over 10k of the buggers, don’t you 
Up real quick today we have some new 42 Skins!
These are the “Inspiration” skins, made specifically with Ivey Deschanel in mind! They come in all the regular 42 Skin Series II Tones (l-r) – Goth White, Pale, Neutral, Tan, Medium and Dark and they have tintable lips and of course, optional pubes! A little change has happened with the Series II Skins, they are now sold individually at $L300 a pop and all are mod/copy/notrans!
I particuarly love this release as I love the muted lip colours on two of the skins, and the wine red on the others… all with gorgeous smokey eyes, my fav
Finally a skin sale! Well.. a sale of sorts, a new permanent low price, actually! Mojo Skins! YAY! Below are just a REALLY small selection of skins available, there are plenty more in store.
ohhhh HAI!
I have been what can only be classed as “lazy blogger” this week, but I wanted to share with you a few bits i’ve picked up again! I hope you like and I hope to be back into the swing of things soon
First up some new Truth Hair, yeah.. the mans a machine, eh???
From left to right:
- Casja – A slightly different but all gorgeous style. Casja comes with a thick braid across the head, weaved into the scalp with a light floofy little pony at the back! I’ve not seen a style like it, but I surely do think it’s neat!
- Gemma – Another braided style, this time a longer style hair with no bangs, just the braid from the parting down around the ear, then meshing in with the other hair. A lovely summery style, very boho-chic!
- Haylie – The third and final offering from Truth is a flicky out bob style, I think it’s not really suited to me, personally.. but I can picture it on other people and… cute!!!
Next up we just have a couple of the skin offerings I picked up from the HarajukuBox Skin Faire and OH MY GOD, I never got back in time to pick up the other few I wanted!! I SUCK!!! But oh well, I will survive, BARELY…
Again, from left to right:
- Curio – Beach – Osprey 1 and 2 – I am a big Curio fan, despite my love/hate relationship with the lighter to body ratio, I still can’t resist the face. The Osprey 1 and 2 are no exception to the gorgeous Curio invisible rule there is, I love the softness of 1 compared to the glitzier more dressy feel of 2!
- 5th & Oxford – Holiday Skin – One of the new skins from Roslin and CJ complete with a lil bit of a sunburnt nose and cheek area, it comes with tan line thingers and a bikini too, YAY!
- League – Misty – Wrecked – A popular line lately, is Misty from League and this is one of those makeups you will either love or hate, I loved it! I’m all about the emo crying makeups, srsly.
Ok thats it for now! BAI BAI!
Speedy Skins!
Nope, not skins that have been made in a rush, just a very brief post from me as I have a lot planned today but wanted to throw out some mentions!
Firstly we have a total bargain from Cupcakes! The new Enchanted line was unveiled just a few days ago, and at the moment, for a very limited time there is this pack shown below, for just $L300!!! You get one make up in 5 tones both with and without freckles and various different eyebrow bases! For $L300 its a GREAT bargain. I find the Enchanted line very similar to Seduction but I really loved that so YAYYY!
Next we have the new DUnE Skins from Dutch Touch. Now you might wonder why i’m not doing a full review? There are 2 reasons… 1) SL is being a tool and won’t actually let me go naked without corrupting the skin right now LOL and 2) I want you to actually go and grab a demo and try them, because you *will* fall in love. DUnE comes with super thick brows (apparently there will be thinner ones too, don’t panic if you don’t like) and I wasn’t sure if I digged it or not, then I decided I did, a lot. They are SO natural and realistic without being hideous. DUnE is SO beautiful that you really should go and try a demo, for realises. GO.. NOW!
Hair – Truth – Jess – Mahogony
Oh HAI, Thursday.
Thursday already, eh? Wow time flies by when you’re packaging chicken eggs, doesn’t it?
So today is a bit of a mish mash of stuff i’ve accumulated over the last few days. I have a hard job keeping my inventory tidy lately and this was lost amongst chicken eggs, chicken food, chicken chicken CHICKEN STUFFS.
So anyway, without further ado… I present you with.. STUFF:
We’ll start with some new releases from Tuli and all I can say about them is OH HAI!
Left to Right:
- Wide Sleeve Shirt (Tangerine) with Worn Denim Capris (Light) – I absolutely, 110% LOVE this top! It’s not really *me* persay, but I have fallen head over heels for it! It comes with the wide prim arms and the boho scarf in a variety of different colours, it’s a perfectly gorgeous summer top, for sure! It looks even more delectable paired with the new Worn Denim Capris!!! I love these too! I love the fact they are worn and the great prim cuffs they come with! These will be a staple, oh yes.
- Bandana Dress (Blue) – It’s what it says… a Bandana Dress! Shown here in blue, available in more, it’s a sexy but summery number. Short but subtle with a gorgeous halter style neck! Put it on and feel GREAT!
- Wide Collar Shirt (White) with Shine Leggings (Taupe) – While I love the idea of this shirt, I had a hard time making my man shoulders fit it! I only had a hard time because i’m a primtard tho, so don’t be put off! A lovely short top with prim sleeves and that wide prim neck, it probably would have looked better with the next item (skirt) but I paired it with the Shiny Leggings, a pair of Leggings I have also fallen in love with, I have fallen in love a LOT this morning
- Sculpted Pocket Skirt (Pastel Blue) – The final piece… the Pocket Skirt! It’s a highwasted, sculpted piece of skirt perfection, as I said it would look great paired with the Wide Collar Shirt, but I decided to go topless instead, GO ME!
Next up we have a new release from Blowpop
This is the Felice Set, shown here in Snow Leopard and Sky! It comes in SOO many colours, but these are the two I picked! As you can see there are two ways to wear Felice. You can either opt for the sexy slipdress look, or the underoos look. The satiny goodness clings to your curves in the best way, whether you opt for slipdress or underoos, hey you could even wear the top as a top with a pair of jeans! I say go fetch, because I likes!
Finally, a few new bits from Stellar!
From Left to Right:
- Vixen is shown here, complete with the new Haylee Hair! Vixen is a domineering little number, isn’t she? Hence the name, I suppose! A little out of Willow’s comfort zone maybe, but I like to dress up once in a while. A perfectly devilish fishnet/buckle/leathery set for those that like to be a bit of a minx! The Haylee hair is separate but is a gorgeous ponytail style complete with bandana to top it off!
- Passion Mini Plaid paired with Red Fishnet Tank, can you say HELLO ASS? (hassle). A REALLY short little skirt but I kinda like it, I don’t think it’s something I could wear daily or call a wardrobe staple, but I DO like to tantalise at times, and show my ass… so YAY!
There you go, taxi’s below, more to come soon :
**Hair worn in top two – Maitreya - Apple II – Strawberry Blonde
**Skin worn – Gala – June – Petal – Daylilly2 – (Dark/Frex)
**Eyes worn – Exodi – Twilight – Edward (swoooooooon)
Tuesdays Trinkets!
Alright so they aren’t so much trinkets but you know I suck at good opening headlines so SHOOSH IT.
Today I bring you some yummy clothes and some hair, and I must apologise for the hair pictures, SL was being a bit of a mare this morning and I couldn’t tp, so I had to make do.. I hope you like the fence tho
Anyhoo, first up a couple of new clothing dealios from Moonshine! YAY!
This is Hope, isn’t she purty? Hope comes in an array of colours, but I opted for black because that’s how I roll. Hope is a lovely set with a teeny tiny cute skirt paired with a cropped top which is perfectly set off with prim attachments! We all love things with prim attachments, don’t deny. The one thing I love most about this set is the stockings, I don’t know why, I just think they are a lovely addition! They come in two colours too, options ftw! So yes, if you want to look sexy but not slutty, Hope is your girl, with cute lil heart detailing and plenty of mix and match options with the layering system… go get it!
This the Fleur Smock Top, shown here in Lily but available in more… isn’t she lovely too!? A perfectly summery little number that can be worn with jeans, skirts, shorts… probably on it’s own if you want to show a little skin! *gasp*. Beautiful flower detailing topped off with both prim sleeve attachments and of course the prim smock top, oh and the cutesy little bow in the middle! It really is a girly girls top and should probably have been worn with something a little classier than some ripped black jeans, but it works, IT WORKS (let me dream)!
Ok so those were the clothes, onto the HURRR.
Soo yeah.. HURRRR. I’ll do a short recap, left to right top to bottom!
- Tiny Bird – Girl Anchorage – A cute little bow style hair, not exactly a hair you would probably wear ALL the time, but hey… if you like bows, this is a good hair for YOU
- Tiny Bird – Love Letter to Japan I and II – Two styles the same apart from the bangs, one has longer, sweepy bangs the other has blunt but feathery bangs. Topped off with a nice headband of a knotted rope, sweet.
- Kin – Maeva – This one I didn’t quite know how to explain, or take a picture, so my picture sucks but the hair does not. It’s a bit bouffant at the front, but the back is a lovely bun set off with Feather and Bottle Cap Ornamental Thingers… yeah… thingers.
- Kin – Tori – Aaaahhh so cute! I love the bangs on this one, with the longer bit trailing down the side of the face and then the CUTEST braid i’ve seen in SL forever! It’s not neat, it’s not too messy but it’s lush. I dunno about the headband arrangement, I wish it came without it but I won’t complain… TOO MUCH, cos I love it anyway.
- Truth – Chloe – Oh, Truth. How do you keep making such nice hair? I don’t know and I don’t care, cos I will gladly wear it. Chloe is a loose over the shoulder style that doesn’t work awfully well in certain poses if you’re finnicky about hair in your shoulders but look at it, isn’t it fab?!
- Truth – Alex – Oh HAI! Another headband style today, colour change on click, too! An over the shoulder, neat little ponytail arrangement, perfectly demure or sexy, it’s your choice, wear it as both, I’m going to!
So YAY there we have today’s little trinkets, hope you liked!

Blowpop – Lingerie
I own a lot of lingerie in SL, do I wear it often? No. Why is that? I don’t know! Perhaps because I don’t feel I can sit around in my undies as much as I do in RL! That being said, I do like to try it on and look smouldering for a while… perhaps because that’s something I don’t feel I *can* do in RL! WHO KNOWS!? The point is… Blowpop released some Lingerie and I put it on…
Firsrly we have Yvette. Yvette is a sexy little number, all lace and no trousers, or something like that. Yvette comes with the sexy laced bra, complete with superb detailing around the cup and finished off with sexy spaghetti style straps. To compliement such beauty, the underpants on Yvette are also extremely lacy and detailed, with an edged leg hem and a matching bow in the middle of the waistband. Yvette comes in a huge array of gorgeous colours with just 2 options shown here. Perfectly gorgeous!
Now meet Jolene! Jolene has an option more than Yvette, this time in the selection you can choose from a bra, or a basque/corset jobby! This set is a beautiful satin style, complete with little satin laces weaved through the pants, basque and bra alike. The bra seems more fuller cupped than the basque, with a lacy trim to it, complete with the aforementioned ribbon weave, the basque on the other hand doesn’t have the lacy trim and has the ribbon weaved under the cup, both meeting in the cutest satin bow. The pants are a little smaller than the style in Yvette too, but again very cute satin ribbon weaving, this time with the bow at the hip, I love LOVE this set, and all the colours it comes in!
The final release to finish off the Lingerie theme is Lacy Top Stockings! They come in various colours, Black being shown here. From left to right you can see 20, 40 and 60 Denier versions, so whatever opactiy you’re after, you get a fairly wide choice!
Get your Taxi to Blowpop here and go see!
Hair – Slink – Pixie
Skin – CS – Deviant Nation (Fishnet) – Amber
Ahoy, mateys!
Yeahh, that title had nothing to do with the actual post, sorry.
Just a quickie with some new skins and hair today! Well, I dunno if the hair is that new, but it is to me so WEEEEE!
Firstly, 42 have released some new skins! These are the barely there makeups/tones. I love barely there/natural looking makeup, so this one was a big hit for me, although I find perhaps the gothic tone is a little too light for me personally. There are also a range of various colours to the skins as well, as the Barely There makeups take on the Galaxie skins! You should check them out
Tekuteku is a hair brand I have a love/hate relationship with. Some of their older hair I loved on other people, but not so much on me. I visit back and forth now and again and this time I found a few I fell in love with and had to have. They are all named below and I think my particular fav is the Cotton hair with the lil cute clips holding the fringe back, although I really dig Ribbon too, if only for the sequin texture on the bow (it changes on click to various!), although with Ribbon I did find it framed my face and made it look all weird, but there we have it!
Yep, super quick post! Enjoy!

Hair we go againnnn…
.. alright so it’s not *all* about hair, but there is some involved!
We have some stuff from Exile and Gritty Kitty today, so without further ado:
I think i’ve mentioned ( a lot ) that Exile hairs are like… my new crack. They just keep getting better and better and it makes me very happy (if not a bit poor) so YAY! There are three new styles today as follows:
- Julia – Julia is a different little number, it might look like a ponytail style from the front, with a big poofy over to one side flick at the top, but it’s NOT! Nope, the hair around the sides are pretty short, the bit over the shoulder is like all the back hair over one shoulder, so it’s quite a unique little number, I like!
- Susan – Susan is possibly one of my fav numbers from Exile so far. It’s a gorgeous longer style held back in a sort of half pony/bun style with longer strands escape the tieback, the bangs (which you can’t see, sorry!) are separated to either side of the face framing it gorgeously!
- Brie – Ahhh Brie, I love this! A short bobbed flicky out style, perfectly casual or suitably eveningish, whichever tickles your fancy! Gorgeous! Just gorgeous!
So there we have the new Exile releases and omgggg I can’t wait for the next ones
Next up is a plethora of releases from Gritty Kitty, some older, some newer… all fabulous
- Butters – oh HAI, Butters. This hair is just NOM! I love it! OMG I love it, its so darn tootin kyoot! Two small piggies at the sides held in place by texture/colour change bows with bangs I adore, the type that sweep over your eyes, sexy as all hell! I might have mentioned I LOVE IT!
- Cain – Cain is more of a male style, I think.. but I think I pull it off pretty well! A short do with a V-shape bang thing going on, perfectly sexy and I think would look awesome paired with some grungy jeans, a nice jacket and a guitar hanging off your arm!
- Klaar – Klaar is a bit of an unsusual one for me, I don’t look good (even as my alt, Willis!) in hair without bangs, my forehead just shouts out OH HAI, LOOK AT ME and I don’t like foreheads! The hair itself is perfectly executed though, with lil bits sticking out here and there, and a clip firmly holding the bangs in place with a slight hint of a quiff!
Next you see the Honig Glasses! What are different or special about them, you ask? Well, these glasses are optimised for uber change, oh yes! Both the lenses and frames change, the frames change into a handful of colours (not all shown) and the lenses are just FAB! Not only can you change to a rosey sunglass style (bottom right) or classic sunglass style (not shown) you can change to diferrent reflections!!! I think my fav my be the Redtube (pr0n ftw – top right) where you look like you’re watching porn! You don’t just get that option, you get city lights, paris streets, parks.. you name it, it might be there! Definately worth checking out, for sure!
Finally we have the Ducklips Glasses! They too are texture change, but this time just the frames (in SOOO many colours!) and the lenses which just have reading/sunglass style! Lovely and retro me thinks! Although my favs are deffo the Honigs
There we have it for today, hope you enjoy <3

Skin – Bebae
Skins and Hair!
Today’s post is a quick and simple one, 2 skin teasers and some new hair! I’ll keep talking minimal because I want to do proper reviews when the skins are properly out! (I’m just cruel and teasy, right? PFFT!). There *IS* nudity below, twice! and as always if you want to see bigger pics click them or follow the link on your right to my flickr
Firstly we have the Chai Skin Beta, I must reiterate this is JUST a Beta release, we have permission to post pictures of the skins and wear in public as long as we point out it might change because.. yes… ITS A BETA! (I think I covered it, right?). It’s shown here on my alt (I am so in love with the shape, I can’t stop putting it on randomly! lol) but it looks perfect on both and there is nothing I love more than NOT having to change my face for a skin to look good! So far it’s coming along just dandy, there is no release date yet but keep your eyes PEELED! Launa has been making skins for a while and she just keeps on excelling, YAYYYY LAUNA!
Chai Beta Skins
5th & Avenue? Who are they? You should pretty much know by now that Fleur is rebranding again and this time it’s going to be 5th & Oxford! Catchy name, eh? Either way.. with the rebranding comes a brand new skin and she is BEE-YOO-TEE-FULL! I always have had a bit of an issue with Fleur skins, even back to TaP, with the shape of the mouth, it never really fit my skin well, and I could never get it to look half as good as it did on everyone else, but that wasn’t because it was shoddy workmanship, it’s because I just failed at making myself look good and got cranky. ANYHOO, this time.. OMG it FITS like a fookin glove and I AM IN LOVE! You can see the tones below, Fair, Medium and Tan… each one looks delightfully yumtastical and the shading made me drool slightly!
5th & Oxford - Tones
Now you’ve seen the tones, LOOK AT THE FACES! Again I used my alt for the body tones and tan face pictures, I like to see if it looks good and again it looked good on both Willow and Willis! I as in skin HEAVEN today, srsly! The skins (I think to be called Audrey) are delicious and the makeups are no different. Audrey comes in Fresh, Smokey and Smoulder and you even get some freckle options thrown in for good measure. I pretty much have decided that I’ll be handing a lot of lindens over to Roslin and CJ when the skins are released (VERY VERY SOON! VERY SOON!) Because if you look below, I think you’ll see why.. OH HAI! (ignore my smiley, I needed to fill a gap >.>)
Truth Hairs! Yup, you heard me, the man never STOPS! These are the three new styles available today and I think plurk had a mini heart attack when he showed them because almost everyone was drooling! From left to right you see Cheryl, Giselle and Leah! Cheryl is a loose messy style that just rocks my socks, it’s different… It’s not often you see messy hair that looks good! Giselle is a sexy double pony style with a hint of schoolgirl (if you have a mind like mine? no.. ok then) either way, it’s teh secs and finally Leah, oh leaaaah you are gorgeous! A small side half pony/bun dealio with a colour/texture change flower on the other side, perfectly gorgeous.. all three of them!
So there we have today’s delights, I am now going to stuff pizza into my face and drool a bit more!
A Bunch O’Stuffs!
This is a bit of a mish mash post with a few bits and bobs i’ve picked up recently on, i’ll try to keep it not so wordy as it’s pretty image heavy! I hope you likes
First up on the pecking order we have some hairs from Exile! Exile Hairs are like my new crack, I love them! The first one we have is Faith, shown here in the Facet Pack (please remember to click on the images if you want them bigger, or go to my flickr, kktxhbai).
Faith is a lovely number with a bit of a windswept feel to it, most of the hair falling around the back and over one shoulder, I think it’s a perfect style for that model look!
Next up we have Natalie, which is a shorter style, and I must apologise here for the fact that in a couple of the pictures the hair looks like it’s missing prims! The hair had a moment of ”I’m going to be all exorcisty” around my head and no matter how many times I kept putting it on and off, prims kept going all WOOOO on me! I can assure you eventually, after i’d finished my photos, they were fine (annoyed). I am not usually a huge fan of short hair, but I had to buy it anyway!
This is the group gift from Exile at the moment, put on your group tag, click the board and you get Aristocrat in Candy! Also available in regular colours, but I don’t think it’s a hair i’ll get much use out of, it’s pretty… but dressy!
Ok, now we have the new League skins, not exactly super new, but only out for a little while and I haven’t gotten around to them yet, so here we are RIGHT NOW. Now, there are two skins, and in the 2nd one you’ll think I look different, it’s because I DOOO, that’s my Alt’s shape, I was testing it out and thought she looked kinda smexy, so kept it on
First up we have Kate. I do really love Kate, although I found when taking these pics it doesn’t look as smooth as I once thought, but that could well be my graphics card! I bought the Fatpack in Medium (there isn’t really a pale yet, but apparently it’s in the works baby!), as you can see from the amount of makeups below, but I don’t thinkt here is one I don’t like! It’s a wide arrangement of smokey eyes, even the Natural is quite eye makeup heavy, and the lips are all fairly neutral, but I love them. The eyebrows are a bit bushy, but nothing major! All skins come with a hairbase too and other options, but we’ll talk about those below.
This is Misty on my alt, doesn’t it look GREAT?? This is the Suntan tone and I think I kinda love it! There are subtle differences in the facial area, like the nose is a bit different, the shading on the face is slightly different, the lips are too, but as far as I can tell the bodies on both Kate and Misty are very similar, but thats good, cos I love them . So yes, this is Misty and her Fatpack of makeup goodness! Again there are a fair few smokey eyes and the neutrally coloured lips but ALL are drop dead gorgeous.
These are the bodies of both Kate, on the left and Misty, on the right. You can see that the shading is pretty much teh same on both girls. Now, those options I was talking about before… you can see on Kate there are two different sets of cleavage! Yup, you get regular cleavage or the (BT) cleavage (I won’t tell you what I thought that stood for *ahem*), a more smooshed up, pushed together effect, nice for low cut tops if you wanna look like you have a push up bra on and you get both options on both Kate and Misty, along with the hairbase option too. The shading on the skins is lovely, not too severe but not too downplayed either although some mind find it a bit light in places or Edward Cullen diamond sparkly *swoon* but I dunno about you, but I could just bite my own ass looking at it right now, so yeah.. LOVE.
Finally for the end of the blog we have some new tees from 42! You can choose from the cropped style on the left, the regular longer style in the middle or the [DON'T PANIC] style on the right, all come in a variety of colours and have awesome shading! They also come on all layers too, so you can mix, match and layer to your little hearts content!
So there we have it, a pretty long blog but i’ve tried to stick to the basics only! Please visit my flickr page if you’d like to see bigger pictures or names of makeups specifically (they are all listed!) and take the Taxi’s below to get to the stores! <3
