Have you all been having a nice holiday? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! My family and I took pretty formal holiday pictures before I left for vacation. Look at my beautiful family! I am so blessed. Thank you everyone for reading Kirstentacular this year and all the previous ones too. I hope you have enjoyed the fashion and little tidbits of my life that I have shared with you. I am looking forward to many more in 2018!



This is a picture that Hiram took:

        Cae just released the cutest necklace ever. It says "I love you to the moon and back" and it would make the sweetest Christmas present for someone that you love. This necklace was released at Cosmopolitan. Gifting is available via the vendor system. If you choose the "In a Giftbox" option it will give you a box (that is transfer) to give to someone. Then they click the box and the necklace is delivered to them. My hair is new by Exile and was just released at eBento. Blueberry just gave us this adorable top as a FREE GIFT. It is a full fatpack of tops with special "holiday" colors (shown). You can pick it up at the main Blueberry store or you can have it delivered to you from Marketplace. It is 1L on MP so that you can gift it, but if you do you can contact Sophia Harlowe and get your 1L refunded. It was just put on there to make it easier to get and gift. I am also wearing some more of my Powder Pack December skins and makeup.

        It has been one full year of Powder Pack and I have loved all the skins and makeups! For December 2017, we got 4 skins, lipsticks, eyeshadow, and a lot of eyes. I loved this pack! I did not realize until later that the Avi-Glam skin uses the same skin tone as Amara Beauty- so you can just use those body appliers (and they are also FREE in the Avi-Glam store too). So let's get to the Unboxing Video to see what we got in this month's pack:





December Powder Pack:
#adored- lipstick, eyeshadow
AVI GLAM- Head skin in 12 tones, lipstick, eyeshadow, eyes (amara beauty omega body appliers)

        It All Starts With a Smile is back! I always love this sim and all of it's evolutions. This current version of the sim is a winter wonderland. I love the town starry street lights and quaint small town Holiday feel. You need to definitely get over there and explore and take some pretty pictures too! Blueberry just released the Bree Dress and Boots at their main store. As usual, this is a must have item. The laces and metals can be texture changed on both the dresses and boots. The Fatpack comes with the Gold pack and the Ombre pack, but they can also be purchased as separate smaller packs on their own as well. I am of course showing one of the gold textures in this post. Blueberry does the best metallics and I always love wearing them especially around the holidays.

        Have you been to Tannenbaum Holiday Market yet? My family and I went this week and we had a lot of fun in the Christmas Tree Lot. We picked out the biggest, fullest tree and then we played the gacha machines to win ornaments to put on our tree. I also found a few outside decoration that I had to have and this wreath necklace by Cae. Cae is at the event with three festive jewelry sets that you will need for all your holiday looks! I decided that I needed to get all festive too and I am wearing a new hood outfit/hair from Exile, Santa Baby. You can wear the hair by itself too, but it's great to have another hair that will go under hoods and hats. Find it at the main Exile store.

        Wasabi, Neve, and N-core have some very sexy items at faMESHed. Neve released the Prove lingerie which is daringly transparent although you can wear an opaque "modest" version that is also included and changed via HUD. My gorgeous, short curly hair is new by Wasabi and I love these tousled curls. Neve released these sexy, perfect for your boudoir, shoes with a bit of a pom pom fur on the toe and heel. The fur is texture change via HUD. Get your sexy on at faMESHed December.

        My pretty new eyes were just released today at The Chapter Four by Arte. The Toda eyes come with browns, hazel, green (shown), and blue. This is a great variety pack of eyes with some strong bold, dark colors for your Catwa eyes.

     I have been busily decorating our new house and this is my new bedroom. I love this Di'Cor bedroom set. It is luxurious and beautiful.

        My super sexy pose is new by s26 Poses at the current round of 4Mesh. This is the very last week of this event. Only one week left- so get over there and make your final purchases. This round of 4Mesh ends December 11th.

        Arcade opened yesterday. This round is amazing! My wish list is so long. I have played a little bit and I got a few of my must haves, but there are still quite a few I did not get and want to continue to play for. Wasabi is there with this piggy tail braid hair with and without the pom pom hat. You need this hair in your winter wardrobe. There are 16 to collect (6 Rares) and they are only 75L per pull. My thigh high boots with fur and fur cuffs are part of the N-core Warm Fur Arcade set. The fur cuffs are one of the two Rare items in the machine. The boots are all common and every pair comes with a texture change HUD to change the fur color (10 color options). There are thigh high (shown) and knee high boots in the machine. There are 20 items to collect (2 Rares) and they are only 75L per pull. Good Luck at the Arcade and May the gacha gods be ever in your favor!
