FabFree – Fabulously Free in SL

Simply Fabulous Free and Under L$75 Finds in Second Life – Since 2007


Sweet Cocoa Moments

Hot Cocoa
Happy Tuesday, Fabulous Readers!  Gus and I are back to share three free group gifts and a budget-friendly sweater dress that we picked up on the Marketplace.  The gifts were all set out in November, and are still available at the time of publication, but I don’t know how much longer they will be available.  If you like them, don’t delay!

Glossy Lips

I’m always searching for the perfect shade of lipwear to coordinate with outfits, and Goreglam had just what I needed.   The “Cherrie” Watergloss EVO X is a free HUD that is packed with 12 shimmering textures.   I don’t know about you, but I’m always battling dry lips in the winter in RL.  With this set, your SL lips will be beautifully protected.  The sign at the shop says the set will only be available until Dec. 1st, but it’s still there today.  To pick up your own gorgeous gloss, you must be a member of the Goreglam Group, which is free to join.

Who Needs a Warm Cuppa?

I do!  Normally, I’m telling you how warm it is where I am in RL, but this morning I woke up to a chilly 44 degrees.  I know, it’s not that bad to most people (especially for Aline!), but when your summers get up to 110+ Fahrenheit, anything below 55 is COLD!  The steamy mug I’m holding is a free gift from FNY Designs.  It features festive reindeer, marshmallow-topped hot chocolate, and two cinnamon sticks.  Yum!  There are 3 colors available for the mug:  red, gold, and rose.  It’s perfect for winter photos!  To add this delicious concoction to your collection, tap the vendor and pay 1L$.  This will be refunded to you instantly.

These Boots

My Crystal Denim Boots are a free gift for members of the Unfolded Official Group, which is free to join.   They reach to about mid-calf and feature high heels, metallic beaded accents, and a soft denim fabric.  The designer generously includes a texture HUD packed with 10 denim textures, 5 options for the sole, and 5 colors for the metal.  They are super cute (check out the close-up below)!  Simply teleport to Unfolded, activate your group tag, and tap the vendor.  Easy peasy!

Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Legacy
  • Maitreya Lara X (they worked with my Lara as well)
  • Reborn

These Boots

Cozy Knit

I discovered the figure-flattering Leni Sweater dress at the MH Unique Design Marketplace Store for just 25L$.  It features a loose cowl neck, wide sleeves, and a snug hemline to keep old man winter at bay.   A texture HUD with 10 hues makes this a versatile chilly weather staple.  The fitmesh model is designed for a variety of mesh body types, as well as classic avatars.  Go ahead and treat yourself while you are out running your holiday errands. (You know you want to!)

Mesh Body Compatibility:

  • Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus
  • eBody
  • Maitreya
  • Ocacin
  • Slink Hourglass and Physique
  • TMP
  • Tonic Curvy and Fine
  • Fitmesh in XS, S, M, L, XL (includes alpha layer)

Cocoa Break

There you have it, Fabulous Readers!  An outfit perfect for a winter wonderland that won’t break the bank.  Until our next post, happy shopping!

Spring Breaker

Spring Breaker

Maybe you’re ready for a break soon, so it’s time to celebrate and jump into spring goodness! Ari-Pari has the perfect outfit out for 1L on the Spring Break Hunt by Cheeky Monkey Hunts. It includes a 5 colour hud of bright shorts and floral tops. This hunt ends on March 31st!

Last-Minute Weekend Finds

I have a few more weekend finds for you! These are limited-time so here they are:

  • My pretty eyes are a free hunt prize on the Green Freaks Hunt. Go here to find all the LMs! You are looking for a little gold coin with a shamrock on it, which is free at every store.The hunt ends on March 27th so you have to go fast! These eyes are from lovelysweet and you will find them at The Stringer Mauseleum. They include 4 green and blue eye colours, with BOM layer and Catwa, Lelutka and Omega appliers.
  • My pretty black lipstick is a free gift at Skin Fair 2022. You will find this gift in Spookshow’s booth at Skin Fair. The gift includes this pretty lipstick in black, orange and purple and it comes in BOM layers for Lelutka EvoX. There are a few gifts at Skin Fair, but they aren’t in every booth! Take a look around at all the skins and any freebies and dollarbies that pop up. Some other stores that I found had gifts from at the event were 7 Deadly s[K]ins (free freckles), IVES Beauty (2 free skin fatpacks), The Stringer Mauseleum (a free blue and yellow skin and free eye testers) , KoKoLoReS (free hairbases), Evermore (free skin), Dernier (a free fatpack of skins), Lowen (a fatpack of skin and shape for 1L each), and tres beau (free tears and eye makeup). There is no way to directly teleport to each booth unfortunately, so hopefully my tips help you collect these great gifts more quickly and you can go find the designer booths at Skin Fair. Everything at the Skin Fair shuts down on March 28th!

Enjoy, FabFam!

Dancing with Tears in my Eyes

Dancing with Tears in my Eyes

I love the 80’s.  I’m sure I’ve rambled about it before, but there’s something about that decade that really makes me happy.  It could be the madness of the fashion, it could be that amaaaazing music, the music videos peppered with vacant expressions…. or the fact that it was just a little simpler because the internet wasn’t really a thing yet.  I guess that’s a bit weird coming from someone who inhabits a virtual world, but once in a while I long for a bit of time where nobody can get a hold of me.  To be fair, the positives outweigh the negatives for the most part.  I’ll tell you what I do really long for…. massive shoulder pads.

Power Stance

Ok maybe not, but it WAS a total power move to have big shoulders, and pencil thin pant legs, right?  Just roll with me here, I promise I have a point… I think.  Whatever the point is, this iteration on an 80’s theme by Quinnty’s is just so stinkin’ cute that I feel like I’m back in my parent’s house dancing with my dad to a 45 of “Dancing With Tears in my Eyes” by Ultravox.  It’s a whole mood.  You can get yours by joining the Quinnty’s group for 50L, then paying the vendor 1L which will be returned to you (or click, then click the word deliver on the menu that pops up!).

Sizes

  • Freya
  • Hourglass
  • Isis
  • Maitreya

In the Name of Love

These cute banana-inspired earrings come straight from the wonderful Afterparty.  The neon revolution is in full swing there, and you can take part (and take part in Pride celebrations too!) with these sweet free earrings that you can grab by clicking on the vendor (no group join needed!).  There are loads of awesome gifts at Afterparty, so check those out too while you’re at it.

The Chop!

The cute hairstyle that is also making me feel very “that chick in Ferris Bueller’s Day off who spits the coke in Mr. Rooney’s face” (holy niche reference…) is free from Kokolores!  You can pick up your own over at the Hair Fair, no group join required, and it comes in a full fatpack of fun colours.  Check out the Hair Fair today!

Sympathy for the Devil

Sympathy for the Devil

I’m feeling a bit devilish tonight.  Like I might get into, or cause, all sorts of trouble.  You know, the type of trouble that you should regret afterwards, but somehow really don’t.  You know, like eating a whole bag of chips!  Or um…something slightly more devilish than that!

Use your Magic!

Love told us the other day about a really sweet Bee costume that you can get by trying your luck at Hocus Pocus.  I picked up some of my own awesomeness too!  All you have to do get my gorgeous dress and really nice hair is head over to both M.Na and Kokolores respectively and say “Hocus Pocus” in local chat.  If your magic is strong, then these awesome free gifts will be yours, and if not you can always try again tomorrow.  If you’re feeling a bit impatient, then you can always buy the items for 50L each.  Easy peasy!  Hocus Pocus runs until November 9th.
