Beauty on a Budget

Whooooohooo!

So I started a new job in rl. And my orientation was Thursday, Friday & Monday from 9-5... so the SL time I've had for the last few days has been attempting to sift through my notices and find the free stuff or gifts in it all... Saturday rolls around and I have every intention of finally posting all this junk that's been piling up, and my Mac decides to break... the fans are going SO loud just surfing the net that I have to actually talk over them. It's just terrible. So I've given my mac a break (and will be calling Apple... again.) and I'm on my boyfriend's equally as loud desktop PC which is actually supposed to be this loud. Cept, the fans on the floor rather than my lap so it's not too bad. Anyways, here's all the loot I've scored in the past few days:

Sadly I didn't get any free hair lately so I'm wearing Magika's Cupcake in Blonde B, free in their store & previously blogged.

Amira Crescendo in world.

I ended up with a bit of an Asian theme today after seeing the beautiful kimono at a *Sweetaholic store... Here's what I came up with... First, I visited the *Sweetaholic & +grasp+ mainstores, which is two stores from one designer, and I have to say the stuff is absolutely amazing. I'm saving up for a kimono, even though there's no cultural link from little old American me, because I can't grasp (hah!) how lucious they look, even in pixel form.
Anyway, a few freebies to show you from *Sweetaholic and +grasp+ :

These are some group gifts from +grasp+, very well made.




Next up, some from *Sweetaholic, which led me to complete the outfit with other similar designer's freebie pieces from other stores I know about... I give you this... quirky... odd... photo... hah.


Oh, I'm actually standing inside *Sweetaholic's floor. There's a glass part that lets you see down into here, and I thought it was pretty so voila! Backdrop. *winks*

Next, we'll go a little more mah style :) Actually, this outfit reminds me of New York. It's high class, but punch-you-inna-face, but sparkly yet feminine. Dunno, maybe I'm crazy.

A few more things before bed... 
Ingenue released their first pair of shoes and they're SO CUTE. Observe:




And this limited edition pair, which is adorable, is on an MM board in their store. So... go forth and tap! ... first thing in the morning, because when I went a little bit ago it was locked down. Again.

While shopping at *Fishy Strawberry*'s mainstore mall, I happened in a store that had "Walk Tunes" for free. I'm not sure who came up with this, but it's amazing. It's a 0$L pack with a prim for each of about a dozen songs... You wear it, and it plays when you walk or run. It's like a real-second-life soundtrack. Epic....







Also, I took a visit to [Addict] today. Cute stuff. And... I found this shirt: 




HAHAHA!! I love it. It's even better when you see the sign... even if you don't want the tee, I recommend visiting [Addict] just to see the ad/vendor board.
Shirt: [Addict] Team Taylor Tee, 25$L (I had to have it... not that it's not a really cute tee for only 25$L)
To [Addict]!
