I'm excited! A new brand and new stuffs (from a familiar store) makes me so!

I was on the quest for new makeup, lipstick specifically. I LOVE my Shakeup! lipsticks. They match well with every single skin I have in my favorites folder (All 33 of 'em - although some of those skins include lipsticks already). However, I wanted to try something different! Plus, all of us bloggers aim to bring notice to new brands, not only for that brand but for blog readers and/or fashionistas. 

Thus, I started looking for lipsticks on the Marketplace and I came upon Soiree! It's just a baby - less than one month old - but one can easily tell that Soiree will blow up! The lipstick that I am wearing, La Creme, comes in 30 colors. Each color comes in teeth / no teeth options for 80L; you can see the teeth/no teeth options above. And you can buy the fatpack of 60 lipsticks for 800L. There's also a wonderful "tool" (it's actually a tattoo layer) that does WONDERS for your facial bone structure (that's why I call it a tool) and an upcoming line of SOMETHING which I will not reveal (:P). So visit Julep's MP store now!

There's also new stuffs at one of my favorite jewelry store, Amorous! Damn, that Matchbook Monday can do amazing things with her brain, fingers and computer, yeah? I can't really do justice to these beautiful, "dangly" earrings. So here's the vendor art:

That should help you better understand the awesomeness of the earrings I'm wearing in these pictures.

This is not all of her new stuff; there's also some bracelets, which will probably be in the one or more of the next few posts. You can head on over to Matchbook's blog to get a preview of those bangles, called Bangled, in case you can't wait! 

I'm off to hover over the new TDR Blue, FLF and fi*Fridays collections!

CLUTCH: Hermes Blue Leather Clutch (Co57) - previous fi*Fridays item!

POSES: dfo!, Marukin (August C88), **Frozen**, Olive Juice and GLITTERATI

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love LC's shorter alternative to (or shorter version of) the "fishtail" skirt. The fit is sexy; it fits tightly and adds curves. And it's available in several colors! I couldn't think of any better shoes than LC's Amen Distress Booties. I don't know if I gave this warning in the entry that first references these boots, but I will probably wear them often. They are just my style and go with skirts, jeans, shorts - everything - especially skirts. 

Collabor88 is moving to its own sim! You'll be able to get onto that sim in two days. I'm not sure, but perhaps it will help with lag. Because it's pretty well known that every edition of C88 will rock, it's laggy as soon as word gets out that the newest collection is available. Perhaps the event having its own sim will help with that. WHO KNOWS? I don't want to get you all excited about the possible death of Mr. Lag Monster, but ... 

ANYWAY... finally, I found this clutch at an earlier fi*Fridays edition. And, for only 55L, one got two clutches with poses (one for left hand and one for right hand) and a no-pose version. From what I hear (don't tell anyone, okay?), there will be more of these in various colors. I have a gazillion clutches, but as my friend, Mikaela, reminded me, there is just no such thing as "too many clutches."

I suppose that's it for the day.

Oh! I know this entry is pretty picture heavy, but I liked so many of the original shots! Hey, give me some credit; there was originally 15. I did my best!

I plan to run to Vita's Boudoir (sometimes called "Boudoir") to see if this bodysuit is still available for sale. It was created and/or made available for purchase for last Halloween. Thus, I'm not sure if it's available at the store generally, or if it was special for Halloween 2011. I promise to check and update! UPDATE: You can purchase Red Demon Heroine! It's on the second floor for 350L!

Ah, and the awesome thing about these earrings, from the Vampiress set, is that ... they are animated! Blood flows inside the earrings. /crypt keeper cackle.

I've been waiting for so long to pair the Lacerated claw with something. FINALLY! And all this because I listened to my favorite band of all time, My Dying Bride, and its wonderful "The Blue Lotus."

Oooooh my gawd. 

It's been two days since I've blogged! But that wasn't for lack of trying. 

For some reason, I hated everything I put together. EVERYTHING. It took me four tries before I got to this, and that inspiration finally came because of Inka Mexicola's new skin, Indy! Isn't she a beauty? And if you head on over to her blog, and her Flickr photostream, you'll see even better pictures of Indy. I can't wait to see the full package! I'm going to be evil right now and not tell you WHEN it will be released.

My pictures also reveal the newest tone from Essences. Native was previously the darkest tone, but nooooow this tone, called simply "dark," is the darkest available! And it's a great tone. I asked Inka if she could conceive and if she would ever create a darker tone, and probably three minutes later, she showed me a picture of a darker Indy. Of course, I was immediately sold! And here's the good news: this dark tone will now be included with every skin Inka releases from this point forward. I think that's penance enough for not revealing the Indy release date, yeah? :P

Do you wonder why I wear Shakeup so much? Well, first of all, I love matte lipstick. So far, Shakeup has the best matte lipsticks. (I also like PIDIDDLE's mattes). Secondly, for 199L, I have never gotten less than 60 lipsticks (for instance, 20 colors with three teeth options) in a pack. Finally, they fit most of my skins.

I think that's it! I'm off to mess around with my shape to effect another face out of Indy!
