New lip makeup: gloss, creme and stains on tattoo layer!

Above: packaging for the new alaskametro<3 makeup: lipstain crayons, lipgloss tube, creme lipsticks

We can finally layer tattoos in Second Life! Okay, I suppose this is only news to me (since I don’t login very often.) This means great things for makeup and avatar appearance! Now that we can play with layers, I’m introducing specific makeups, starting with lipstick.

Shown: "Pale" light pink lipgloss on freckled Latte skintone

Lipgloss (light): semi-transparent with a subtle sheen. Comes in a lipgloss tube object. Colours range from neutral browns to warm pinkish reds.
The 5 pack includes: 5 lipgloss tones for L$75 | BUY NOW on the Marketplace
Try the free sample to see if it’ll work for you!

Shown: "Cranberry" dark lipstain on Bronze skintone

Lipstain (dark): semi-transparent super matte lip colour. Rich dark colours that look great on pale and dark skintones. Colours range from plums to dark browns to classic reds and berries. Comes in a lip crayon object.
The 5 pack includes: 5 lipstain tones for L$75 | BUY NOW on the Marketplace
Try the free sample to see if it’ll work for you!

Shown: "Harlot" red creme lipstick on Rose skintone

Creme lipsticks: semi-metallic creme lipstick with medium to heavy opacity. Comes in 5 packs of different colours. Packaging is a decorative lipstick object (2 prims).
Red 5 pack includes: 5 lipstick tones for L$75 | BUY NOW on the Marketplace
Brown 5 pack includes: 5 lipstick tones for L$75 | BUY NOW on the Marketplace
Try the free sample to see if it’ll work for you!

All my lip makeup is designed to fit alaskametro<3 skins only and results with other skins may vary. The free samples are available to test with your preferred skin. All alaskametro<3 makeup is created semi-transparent and should be aesthetically pleasing on most skintones, but I can’t guarantee all colours will look perfect on very dark or very light skins.

alaskametro at Elements: Jewelry Fair 2011!

I’m very excited and proud to be a part of the Elements: Jewelry Fair 2011 in support of OXFAM. alaskametro<3 will have a small booth on the Fire sim, where you’ll be able to find revised and revamped jewellery… the best of the OPIUM stock from years ago, that many new avatars never had the opportunity to own.

I’ve been retexturing everything and refining prim work on some of my favourite pieces from Second Life days gone by. I hope you’ll enjoy wearing it as much as I enjoy making it!

For the bloggers, I’ve put out a gift box with 4 pieces total… you’ll get samples of the “Drop” flexi thread earrings, “Lyvia” pearl strands, the “Zipper Rosette” necklace, and the popular “Lynda” crystal chandelier earrings. Don’t forget that bloggers are invited to enter a Jewelry Fair contest, too!

Full information on the event: http://jewelryfair2011.wordpress.com

See you there!

Mailing list presents – sign up before Tuesday to receive!

I’m been sadly neglecting my promise to deliver a gift per month to my loyal subscribers. I’m truly sorry – my First Life business has taken up all my free time, and I haven’t been active on Second Life at all.

To make it up to you (and perhaps convince a few more of you to sign up!) I’ll be sending a large gift on Tuesday, July 5th, with a bunch of previously-exclusive content and unreleased stuff. It’s time for summer, and feeling glamorous!

SIGN UP HERE with your email address and Second Life name (important) to receive the following goodies:

alaskametro group gift: black "Lynda" earrings

Limited edition black/rhinestone “Lynda” earrings. Previously a DSN exclusive item.

alaskametro group gift: white "Classique" bikini

Cute white bathing suit on all layers. Previously under the OPIUM Everyday name. Item now retired. (Not shown, but also included, is a simple black bikini with the alaskametro heart logo, previously part of the Model Call Kit.)

alaskametro group gift: "Paris" flats in charcoal

“Paris” patent leather ballet flats in charcoal grey. Previously a one-day only gift at Second Style Island.

alaskametro group gift: "HERE KITTY" eyelashes

“Here Kitty” eyelashes with extra long false lashes to create a “cat’s eye” retro look. This is an item for sale that I haven’t gotten around to boxing up yet.

alaskametro group gift: "VIDA" eyelashes

“Vida” eyelashes. I love the look where individual lashes are added to create drama. This is an item for sale that I haven’t gotten around to boxing up yet.

alaskametro group gift: branded T-shirt

Here’s a simple black T-shirt with the alaskametro heart printed in metallic silver. One can never have too many black Ts!

Enjoy and don’t forget to sign up for the mailing list – I’m hoping to come back and regularly release content again!

Spring is in the Air!

Spring is just around the corner, and I’m happy to release my makeup line for Spring 2011. This tattoo layer makeup and nail polish series is currently available, for two weeks only, at Kozmetika Mall.

I’ve used a lot of bright colours, matte textures, and drawn focus to the eyes with bold eyeshadow. I’ve released 8 nail polish colours total, using a colour palette reflecting my love of retro mod and tiki, and inspired by tropical flowers.

alaskametro<3 nail polishes for Spring 2011

Here’s three of my favourite makeup looks:

alaskametro<3 makeup look 08 - teal eyes, gloss lips

Makeup Look 08 – I love teal and turquoise, and I couldn’t resist using it for a smoky, matte eyeshadow. The lower lid is subtly shaded with a warm brown for contrast. Super glossy, neutral beige lips finish the look off.

alaskametro<3 Spring 2011 makeup look 03 - dramatic eyes

Makeup look 03 – Gradient look matte eyeshadow is a Spring 2011 makeup trend, and I couldn’t resist making it work in Second Life. Pastel blue meets brown for a soft yet dramatic look. Glossy pink lips add a feminine touch.

alaskametro<3 Spring 2011 makeup look 06 - bold red eyes

Makeup look 06 – Bold red eyes with a bit of sunny yellow for a super dramatic look. This makeup looks especially good on darker skintones (though it will also work on pale!) Some dark red blush add contour to the face, while a nude matte lip keeps focus on the colourful eyeshadow.

Find these Spring 2011 makeup looks at Kozmetika – I have the guest spot from Saturday, April 9 through Friday April 22. After that they’ll be available on my Marketplace store. :)

Above: my Kozmetika guest booth. Note the little makeup compact: you can buy the limited edition makeup 2011 look 09 for L$0 – only at Kozmetika!


alaskametro<3 makeup look 09 FREE GIFT

Makeup look 09 - This is a free gift only available at Kozmetika until April 22… so hurry and grab it while you can! I’ve combined brilliant purple and warm reddish orange for a dramatic eyeshadow, with a sheer orange glossy lip.

As always, alaskametro<3 makeup is designed to fit alaskametro<3 skintone bases, so results may vary with other creators.

Prices: individual makeup : L$50 | individual nail polish (in bottle) : L$25
