BeBae Erin Skins

BeBae is a brand that I have been blogging since the first skin release (Anael), and every release since then has been better than the last. In case you haven't noticed, the BeBae skins are named in alphabetical order - so far we've seen Anael, Belina, Coral, Delilah, and now... there's Erin!

Erin is the latest face to be released from BeBae, the makeups are simply gorgeous. Each skin includes 2 brows (light and dark), with lashes or without, and some makeups have several different variations thrown into the package.

Shown below is BeBae 'Erin' in Cinna skin tone:

Here are the light and dark brows included with the Cinna skin tone. These brows are great for Blondes, Brunettes, and every hair color in between! The Caramel skin tone (not shown), is darker and includes darker brows than shown below:

What's a skin post without boobs?

This BeBae body is gorgeous, as always...

If you like my shape, I am wearing the Juicy Erin shape, made specifically for this release! I'm also wearing it in this blog entry and it's one of my favorite shapes ever. If you want my look, a style card is also included with the shape.

I have moved all of my older shapes to my main store, but you can find the Erin shape at my shop or @ BeBae.

KA Designs Casey Skin Preview

Can you guess whose skin this is??

This is the latest addition to KA Designs line of beautiful skins. Casey is one of three faces launching soon and I'm completely blown away by the sultry but youthful look of the skin. The face is perfect and the body is natural looking and soft, with very detailed and realistic shading. Each skin includes 2 brow versions (light brows and dark brows).

Shown below is KA Skins V3 - Casey (Pale) with light brows:

Here is the gorgeous body, one of the nicest boobs I've seen in awhile. When demoing skins, be sure to strip naked! Check out the body, the toes, the ears, and every place that is not visible when covered in clothing or hair. You'll be glad you did!

I'm wearing new and gorgeous hairstyles from Exile. They are Natalie (a cute short bob) and Faith (gorgeous slightly windblown hair):

The shape in this entry is called "Casey", same as the skin. You can buy a copy at my main store @ Juicy or at my satellite shop on KA Designs Island :) I made a totally new shape to go with this skin, so if you want my exact look, feel free to pick it up (style card is included).

Don't forget to join the KA Designs subscribeomatic an be the first to know when Casey is released!

Laqroki April Skins

Normally I save the nudies for last, but today let's do things in reverse! Check out these new Laqroki April skins, just one of the many beautiful faces from the Glow line of skins. This skin is perfect for red heads, because it includes natural looking red brows and a light dusting of freckles. However, the skin will work for Brunettes too since a version of Brown brows is included for each makeup.  I've also tried it with Blonde hair, and you can totally get away with wearing Blonde hair too! <3

Here are all 10 of the makeups in Fair skin tone:

Yep, this gorgeous fatpack will only cost you $1990L. The price is incredible, I can't imagine anybody would buy just one when they can have all 10 for a low price.

As you can see, the April skin is made for lighter girls, since the only skin tones available are Milky and Fair skin (shown above). I've decided show mostly the Red brows in this blog post, but as you can see, the Brown brows are incredible!! I think this skin makes such a striking Brunette, and perfect for that sweet pin-up girl look.

One last thing I wanted to mention about Laqroki skins that not a lot of people know about: open wide and you'll find a nice surprise inside your mouth! TONSILS! Mallory Cowen's amazing attention to detail by adding realistic looking tonsils inside the mouth is something that has not been overlooked.. I LOVE IT.

What I'm Wearing:

artilleri - Trixie hair
Laqroki - April [Fair] Skins
artilleri - Sabrina swimsuit *teal*
HaysUriza - Sayuri (White & Ribbon) Pumps

Blowpop N2 Elizabeth Skins

Blowpop will be releasing these N2 Elizabeth skins on June 23rd, along with Ava, Carmen, and Maya (not shown here). The N2 Elizabeth skins will have 4 skin tones, each makeup includes 2 different makeup versions and a separate underwear layer for public hair (because the skins are bare down here). The Elizabeth face is so sweet, and the N2 blows me away. I love fresh pouty young girl look, and the variety of lipsticks & generous lip gloss!

Overall, the Elizabeth skin is really lovely and these are my favorite Blowpop skins ever. I think the face is so very sweet and perfectly done light skin tone will be a favorite for many people.

L'oring Sophia Skins

L'oring skins has just released the Sophia skins in 7 makeups. I thought the face was cute, has great lips and a nice body. The eye makeup is too heavy but people who like thick liners and that smudged enjoy these.


Here is Sophia shown in all 7 makeups. As you can see the lipsticks comes in variations of pinks and reds and eye-shadows are pretty much similar on all skins.

Well, the body is nice but I think the nipples are a lil too pink (maybe some people like that?).

Tp to L'oring to demo Sophia and more.

EDIT // L'oring has been renamed to LAZOLLI skins now!

I'm wearing new Callie Cline signature tanks in various pink colors and new Astrid hair from Cake.

JM:MAI Devonz Skins

JM:MAI has released more Devonz skins! Last year I blogged some Devon skins from this brand and they were cute then, but the face has been given an upgrade and they're even cuter now. The skin texture is fantastic, and there are plenty of makeups to choose from.


Picni

Overall the body is pretty good except for the chest area, which I think has too much highlighting so it stands out against the muted skin tone.

For this entry, I'm wearing a fantastic new Fleur 'Nautical Set' outfit in Cerise. This outfit includes sailor pants, a striped tube top, and a striped v-neck top in all layers. I'm also wearing cute new Eleanor hair from Kin Keiko. I've noticed that Kin has recently updated her Blonde texture and it's much better than before (I'm still waiting for Platinum Blonde though!).

What I'm Wearing:

JM:Mai - Devonz skins
Kin - Eleanor (Blonde)
Fleur - Nautical Set (Cerise)
ICoN - SW Necklace & Bangle set

JM:MAI Dolly Nia Skins

JM:Mai has just released Dolly Nia skins and they're absolutely adorable. There are 9 makeups total, and each makeup includes a regular skin and a doll body version. These skins are perfect for playing a doll, so dust off those doll keys and drag out your favorite dress.

Shown above are some of the makeups available. Some skins have freckles and lots of blush or a cute band-aid on the face. As you can see the makeups are not wild, but really soft and there are lots of soft lipstick colors.

I really like the idea of a doll body especially for girls that like dressing up in lolita/doll outfits.

dhR Skins

I've been reviewing skins for awhile now, and I'm still excited when I discover a new skin shop. This skin review, will be my 39th this year! Last year, I have reviewed over 37 skins, so I was pretty excited that it's only June and I've already beat my own record. If designers keep creating the way they do, I probably will review twice the number of skins this year than last.

Anyways... onto the skins!


[ dhR skins - Natural skin tone ]

dhR is a skin brand previously unknown to me, I have never demo'ed these skins until this morning and totally fell in-love with the face. These skins include tons of options, you'll feel completely spoiled because each makeup includes 3 brows colors (light brown, brown, and grey), and two lips version (sheer and gloss).


[ dhR skins - Natural skin tone ]


[ dhR skins - Natural skin tone - 3 different brows color ]


[ dhR skins - Natural skin tone - sheer or gloss lips ]

The dhR skin has a beautiful body, the skin tone is a bit glossy but I really like that look a lot. It adds the skin and makes it more realistic looking.


[ dhR skins - free gift skin with purchase ]

Right now, if you purchase any skin at dhR, you will get this special gift skin for free as part of the grand opening campaign. It has gorgeous bright blue makeup, and not sold as part of the skin packs.

Truth released the Restless Denim jeans and Second Hand Jacket this week in a bunch of colors. I thought the mintcream went really well with this skin, since they're both soft and vintage looking.

This look is really cute, it could totally be a new 'me' ~ I won't take it off until the next review! :P

What I'm Wearing:

dhR - Natural Skins
Tekuteku - Cotton (Pink) Hair
Dark Mouse - Flights of Fancy Necklace
Truth - Restless Denim
Truth - Second Hand Jacket (mintcream)
Insolence - Emily Pink Tulle Set (Lingerie)
Sakka's Studio - Flat Shoes /Sash (Green)

Gala Phoenix June Skins

Gala Phoenix (Curio) will be releasing released the June skins later today and they are so beautiful! Brunettes will love this release, because the brows are darker. Each June makeup includes light and dark skin, as well as two versions of the makeup colors. The body has also been updated with a bare 'down there' option, you'll have to try on the skin to see what I mean; it's perfect for bikinis!

Shown below are the GP - June skins in Sundust skin tone:

The makeups for this release are some of the best I've seen from so far. I love the variety of lipstick colors and yummy soft eyeshadows. There are a lot of makeups from this release that I would wear on a daily basis.

These are so beautiful I couldn't stop myself from snapping a bunch of pictures! I'm wearing the gorgeous Zaara 'Vishaka' Pink sari, and the matching Zaara 'Nizam Head Jewel' which will pretty much match everything at Zaara's shop.


[ body photos - check out the ultra bare new Gala body ]

All photos were taken at the amazing White Taj sim. I looooved these two sims so much, they're amazing for photographs. In this last picture, you can see the Black Taj sim in the background ~ both were inspired by the real life Taj Mahal build, in India.

Tp to Curio for Gala's skins.. you know you want to!

What I'm Wearing:

Truth and Tuli

Truth has just released these adorable Sunday dresses along with other goodies that I'll show on another blog post. I couldn't wait to pair these with some sandals, for a very laid-back look. The skirt includes an attached belt that comes in Brown or Black, it looks gorgeous either way. I wish I had this whole outfit IRL!! Gogo is such a spoiled avatar sometimes, I'm totally jealous of my own virtual closet :P

Here's another sneak peek of the much anticipated Tuli 'Hope' skins! They will be released in three days, on June 5th. Shown below are the makeups for Pale, Fair and Sunkissed. There's also Tan and Dark tan (not shown). Ten makeups total per skin tone, and four brow options.

Something about the Tuli 'Hope' face is totally lovable to me, and I want to wear it again and again. Even though I've reviewed tons of skins, I have only worn a few brands on a daily basis mainly because there's a certain look I like for my avatar. I have a feeling that this skin will be one of those that you'll see me wearing a lot simply cos I looooove everything about the face.

If you're dying to try Hope for yourself, don't forget to join the TULI Update Group in-world and grab the skin gift there.

What I'm Wearing:

Tuli - Hope Skin
Truth - Sunday Dress
Mirai Style - Kyla (PearlWhite) hair
Bare Rose - Miranda Brown (Bag)
Heart Couture - Naughty Notions Heart Chandelier Earrings
SLink - Eve Summer Sandals (Dark Brown)

Meet Shiloh

Exodi, Ryker Beck's new brand have just released the Shiloh skins!! Shiloh comes in 5 skin tones, two brow options (light and dark) , and tintable public hair color. Shown above is the Shiloh skins in 4 different makeups, and light brows.

Most of the time, I like wearing light brows so I always check them out on skins. These include light brows but they're sparsed looking, not as smooth as the dark brows. If I could change anything, it would be filling in the brows towards the inner corner so they're more continuous.

This is what Shiloh looks like naked. I like the boobs a lot, they have great shine and smoothness. The knees are a lil white though.

I like the face on Shiloh, and I think it's adorable! I'm wearing the Curio 'Gertrude' hair and a sweet white cami set from Cherry Girl. The whole look reminds me of a sweet old-fashioned girl.

What I'm Wearing:

Curio - Gertrude (Ash Blonde)
Exodi - Shiloh (Honey) Skins
Cherry Girl - RibbonTape WH * CamiTunic MIniDress *
Sakka's Studio - Free Clog Shoes

SugarCube & Tuli Group Gift

SugarCube has just released the adorable new Goldfish Dresses. The colors are bright & cheerful, and I totally love the sheer and goldfish-y looking layers in the skirt.


[ Tuli - Hope in Pale / Fair / Sunkissed skin tone ]

Fashion bloggers got a preview last week of Tuli's new Hope skins but now they're available to everyone, just join the TULI Update Group in-world and check notices. There's a $250L join fee but, you get a single natural makeup in ALL available skin tones!!!! Shown above are Pale, Fair and Sunkissed skin tone, they're all lovely but I can't decide which works best with Blonde hair. I think Fair might be my favorite one for Blonde hair, but I also like Sunkissed since it's Summer! These come in Blonde, Brown, Black, and Red brows, but I hardly ever wear Blonde brows with Blonde hair, since it washes out the entire face, unless the skin tone is very light. I think these work best with Brown brows, everything matches so well ~ I could switch to a different shade of blonde? But I totally dread having to modify an entirely new hair color.

What I'm Wearing:

Tuli - Hope skins
Exile - Shannon (Harlow) hair
Paper Couture - Glass Flower Necklace
Kalnins Footwear - Coquette Shoes
