News from LOGO

Published on November 26, 2022 by GraziaLeave a comment

This morning my eye caught a message on Facebook, stating that LOGO has reached an agreement with LeLUTKA for the use of their EvoX UV! This is great news, because that means that owners of new heads from LOGO (not sure if the older ones will be updated) will have a HUGE amount of BOM content to choose from!
Also, in the same post, I saw that their latest head, Paris, is actually already EvoX enabled and is only 399 for the weekend!!!!! So I ran as fast as my pixels would let me on my old computer to the LOGO store and grabbed it without even trying on a demo. I mean.. 399!

Uff, after having worn LeLUTKA heads for so long, starting over with a new head from a different brand can be quite the shock. I looked awful! So then I decided to just start with the shape that comes with the head. But again, I looked awful. I reset my animatons & skeleton several times, but to no avail. Eventually, I just made a new shape from scratch, and that did it However…. let me tell you this, it’s not as intuitive as LeLUTKA to me. And I like to believe I am a proficient shaper. I decided to forego on the LOGO eyes, because the mesh eyes wouldn’t pose properly, and the BOM eyes wouldn’t load. So I went with Avi-Glam‘s Virtue eyes and -balls. Also the lashes that come with the head… not my taste. And that is -frankly- an understatement. I quickly bought a lash installer at Izzie’s because she simply never disappoints, but even with Izzie’s lashes, the lashes on this head look weird to me. It’s actually how the area is shaped ON the head I think. But, in the end… I think I made it work! I actually look cute with Paris on. Oh… before I forget, the skin, is Avarosa‘s Mako and the hair is J0630 by Tram!

I styled her with some new stuff. Wasabi has this sassy Mathilda hair out at The Fifty, and my Eira suit and fur stole are from Giz Seorn at Uber. I also grabbed the BEAUTIFUL Solitaire ring from Yummy at The Fifty for an understated, elegant festive look. When I zoomed out further to take a full body shot, and also show off my Gos pumps, my face started to break. No really! It could be because my platform is at 1000m up in the air, but to be honest, with my LeLUTKA heads this has never happened. Look here for my broken face! And here for exactly the same situation, but with my Avalon head on. LOD is at 4.00, as it should be.

However, at a normal talking distance, Paris looks lovely. As mentioned, BOM makeup for EvoX will also work with the new LOGO heads, so I picked some from Alaskametro. The Hyperdrive eyeshadow and the Ozone lipstick. From Dernier’s Kim contour set I took the nose contour #2, the cheeks #2, and the cupid bow #1 to optically adjust my shape a bit. The pretty moles on my body are from West End!

Still meh

So yeah, turns out Covid finally got me! Never was a test result in faster and with brighter red stripes! It’s funny because the only thing that gave it away, or rather, what made me take a test last night was a little cough which didn’t sound like my usual one. I mean, in this time of year, I am pretty much always feeling sick or having some kind of cold, so feeling poorly doesn’t usually stop me. But because of that odd cough I figured, let’s put that stick up my nose so I can be sure there is nothing wrong. And here I am… in the guest room, isolating, to avoid that my SO, who is still testing negative, doesn’t get extra exposure. He’s immunocompromised, so we have been extremely careful over the past years.

Anyway. I kind of like it to make the pretty pretty skins of SL look less than gorgeous so for today, I continued on yesterday’s path. Starting out with LeLUTKA‘s Briannon (50% off all heads this weekend only for Black Friday) and Glam Affair‘s Sloane (ditto, 50% off for Black Friday, storewide), the Orpheus eyes from Gloom en Opale x Chain‘s Meisell hair, I have been adding tired/sick/poorly/ problem skin layers to my heart’s content! Are you ready? Here we go!

Oh, before we go there, the info for the Black Friday Sales, comes from Seraphim’sUltimate Black Friday sales list! It’s huge! Click on the image above to go directly to the list!

that out of the way, let’s then finally focus on the layers! I went with Izzie’s and Saxo mostly! Both stores currently have 50% off on selected items!

By Izzie’s: natural eyeshadow rose, 75% opacity; 01 frown lines 40%, 01 Forehead lines 40% and Blemishes 70%.
By Saxo: Tired eyes soft Flu face (V1, yesterday I wore V2, which is newer), the Cheek dimple soft and the Chin dimple soft.
To finish it off, I added The Skinnery‘s Wornout eyebags and Ladybird‘s Peony chapped lips.

For clothing, I opted for this totally warm and very funny Long & Home sweater by Sorumin, I love Yule pigs! Yule is a mid-winter tradition older than Christmas. A feast dedicated to Freyr, God of Yule and Fertility. Many traditions stemming from Yule have been incorporated into Christmas, to make the Christian feast more palatable to pagans. How’s that for appropriation? Anyway, I am rambling. Under the sweater, I even added Erratic‘s racerback (BOM) tank because you know how those Xmas sweaters are always itchy? Even though you don’t see it, it’s there. I know it’s there. I feel it’s there! My pants are from the Luna Lounge set by Osmia and you can almost feel the softness of the stretchy fabric. Elastic waistband of course. I mean, I really wouldn’t know, right, but My SL, My Imagination! My sneakers are from Friday, and they are pretty much my all-time favorites. The cute heart shape on the nose always makes me smile! Finally, I added the Daisy gem studs from Yummy‘s mega Dreamy earring pack

We’re half way through the week! and following my last blog, I kind of stuck with the Ice blue, but this time for my hair! I notice I do this a lot, there usually is some kind of link between the blogs, either by a colour I use, or by a brand that I am wearing. The ice blue shade of Doux‘s Somi hair is a good start to work with! I switched heads today again as well and I’m wearing Ceylon. Have you heard that LeLUTKA, for Black Friday from November 25 through 28, will have ALL heads discounted to 50%? That’s a pretty sweet deal, right? I am also wearing the Fierce eyes from Avi-glam and not entirely unimportant, The Yeri skin from Avarosa, currently available at Kustom9. The white tank top is from Giz Seorn, Riley

My make up today is from a new to me store, called Holloway and they have some beautiful lipsticks out, as well as a couple of eyeshadows/eyeliner varieties. The colours I am wearing today are from the Powerful Collection. Pleasantly surprised with how well this fits me! My lashes are from Pritty, and I added a little contour from Nar Mattaru‘s Hela skin, which is tintable, so I could give it an earthy tone to match the rest of my make up. My hair in this make up pic is Wendy, from Doux.

Under the Lottie Look shirt set from M.Birdie, scored on the marketplace in a lucky instance of a reasonably priced old gacha rare which is not a scam (I couldn’t find M.Birdie in-world anymore), I’m wearing Coco Designs‘ pleated white leg pants, and Reign‘s dainty sneakers. My padded little handbag, which I have a similar of in RL in bright orange is from DDL, named Torn. Caveat if you manage to find the Lottie set on the marketplace, it’s made only for Maitreya but i maned to make it work really well with the Legacy body I’m currently wearing.
