Swinging among the stars
Today, I am featuring Something New's Swing by the Moon photo box. The photo box is on sale at the Cheeky WoW Event (7th-25th).
It comes with four single poses with mirrors and a photo scene box. The photo box allows for many angles when taking your photo. It is layered, so the clouds in front overlay the Swing giving your photos a realistic depth.
LET'S GO SHOPPING!
✫ TOP & SKIRT: The Odessa Top and Shorts is a Limited-Time Recolor (TSS Version) and is the current Saturday Sale by Just BECAUSE. The recolor comes in six vibrant colors/prints for 75L each or 400L for the fatpack. Both are fitted for Maitreya Lara/Petite, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Kupra. If you would like it in a solid print, you can find the original release toward the back of the store. The initial release is 18 gorgeous solid colors for 249L each or 1,299L for a fatpack. Remember to try the demos first.
Just BECAUSE creates high-quality original mesh clothing for women. I can not stress how much I love Just BECAUSE's designs. I have been following/blogging Just BECAUSE since 2012. The quality has always been top of the line, with significant care given to the styling and hand-drawn textures. To top it all off, Just BECAUSE has always kept it reasonably priced. Most places I found when I was younger have outgrown my price range and, if we are honest, style. But not Just BECAUSE; it just keeps getting better and better.
✫ HEAD and BODY SKIN: The lovely and versatile Lianna Skin is by .:Soul:. Lianna is a Generation 3 [G3] skin. I am wearing the [H5] human skin tone. The head skin is only for EvoX. The head skin and body skin are sold separately. Both head and body skins are available in 16 human and fantasy skin tone variations. There are demos available to try before you buy. You can pick the Head Skin up for 899L for each skin tone or buy a fatpack of all 8 human or 8 fantasy skins for 5,999L each. The body skin is available for Belleza, Legacy, Omega, and Slink for 449L for each skin tone or 2,999L for the fatpack. If you join the .:Soul:. VIP group (350L), you can get a 15% discount on every purchase and free group gifts and teasers on new releases, updates, and store sales.
✫ EYES: I am wearing IKON's 'Hope' Eyes in Emerald (M). IKON's eyes are affordable at 150-170L each, and if you join their in-world group, you can get a free set of eyes. Ikon's Eye sets come with IKON Mesh Eyes that are HUD controlled. You also get appliers for Lelutka, Omega, Genus, Catwa, and BOM Layers in multiple eye sizes. I have worn IKON eyes for years. I highly recommend them because they are affordable and have a massive range of colors and styles.
✫ HAIR: The stylish Hazel Hair is by Magika. This hair comes with 315 hair colors, two optional bangs, and is materials enabled. This style is made of both fitted and unrigged mesh. It comes in four hed sizes and a resized version. I love this hairstyle. It is so simplistic in its beauty and is perfect for the days I want to feature my face. Magika has a vast selection of hairstyles. I have yet to find one that I hate. They are one of my top places to go for hairs, and I won't lie when they release a new one; I am one of the first in line. At the time of purchase, the hair cost 400L. There is a demo available for testing it out before you buy.
✫ HEAD: I am wearing Lelutka's Avalon Mesh Head in this post. At the time of this posting, this head costs 3,990L. This head can support Evolution (EVO) and Evolution X (EvoX) skins. The Avalon set comes with a Head, Teeth, Mesh Eyes, Elf Ears, and many bonus goodies like hairbases, face light, multiple teeth accessories like braces, ear piercings, and samples of cosmetic tattoos. It is Bakes on Mesh Ready (BOM) and comes with a default shape, Head and Ear skins in BOM layers, and skin, brow, and eye applier. Avatar complexity for the head alone is approximately +5738 (Head, Teeth, and Eyes). Lelutka is my go-to place for mesh heads. I love their style, quality, and ease of use for their huds. I own several of their heads. There are demos available for you to try before you buy.
✫ BODY: Today's body is Maitreya's Lara Mesh Body. The Lara Mesh Body is Bakes on Mesh Ready (BOM). The body includes Bom add-on parts, a save stick to save your configurations, Bento hands with hand poses, and hand AO built into the HUD. The body has the 5 default foot shapes (Flat, Low, Mid, High, and Ballet). The HUD comes loaded with 22 Glam Affair skin tones, and BOM layers are provided. There are five nail shape options and 19 nail polish options. Alphas are controlled via HUD. There are over 200 possible selections. The body comes with mesh lingerie made by Erratic and BOM Layers by Zaara. At the time of posting, the Maitreya Lara Mesh Body costs 2,750L. This is the mesh body I wear the most; I really like the softer curves, and I find most outfits are offered in their shape. If you prefer a petite or flat look, Maitreya has add-ons for the Lara Mesh Body for 499-599L each. The Lara Mesh Body, the Petite Add-on, and the Flat-Chest Add-on have demos available to try before you buy.
✫ SHAPE: My shape is the Brittany Skin Shape by Velour. I received it with my purchase of the Brittany Head Skin for Lelutka EvoX (799l) (not worn in this shoot).
✫ BACKDROP: The Swing by the Moon photo box by Something New. The photo box is on sale at the Cheeky WoW Event (7th-25th)
✫ For lighting, I use LUMIPro. LUMIPro is a HUD worn by the photographer that controls all aspects of lights worn by the model or self. The photographer can adjust position, color, radius, and falloff. You do not need rez right to use LUMIPro. The built-in posing system controls ten models independently without needing to rez for pose stands. You can pick up a copy for 6,699L on the Marketplace.
Disclosure of Material Connections: I may have received one or more products as review copies. Regardless, I only recommend products I personally use and believe will benefit my readers. See my full disclosure policy here.
