Jade Glazner of Bella di Notte has a new release coming this weekend, and group members were treated to this preview gift skin!! If you want it, join the Black no. 1 group ($200L to join) and check notices. The group gift includes 4 skin tones (Light, Natural, Tan and Dark) and 2 brow choices (Light and Dark brows).
I’m pretty excited about the UNICEF (Project Donate) event this weekend!! 100% of the proceeds from this new Gemini hairstyle by Exile is donated to charity. The fatpack is $500L and it’s awesomeeee. Here’s the direct slurl to it.
BOOM has sexy new Surf Polos and they come in so many vibrant sunny colors, it’s so hard to pick a favorite! This polo includes a sculpted collar and shirt attachment, adding even more realism to a great shirt. I’ve found new favorite “booty shorts” from Hucci! The Hucci Denim Shorts are short but still classy.
I have blocked Chloe Anonymous aka Chloe Setzer from my Flickr cos I didn’t like how she keeps commenting gibberish on it. Hey Chloe? If you have a problem with me, don’t read my blog. Bye :)
Some time back in early August, I said I wouldn’t blog any skins for an entire month, so I could dedicate some of my blog posts to all the other wonderful things in SL — like shoes? clothes? aos? things I don’t normally cover enough of! Obviously couldn’t resist the lure of new skins so I have covered skins numerous of times this month.
Let’s just say I love skins. Every new skin is like unwrapping a surprise gift and trying it on and like magic, a lovely new face emerges.
These new Laqroki Tess 2 skins have thicker Dark Brown brows, but I am wearing a Blonde brows (tattoo) over it for my review. I think the lighter brows adds to the youthful look of this face, it’s so pretty.

These makeups are so pretty I wish I had them on all my other skins!

After yesterday’s vagina post, I have to redeem myself with a normal fashion post now! These fabulous new Meggan skins are from Unique Megastore. I’m a fan of nice celebrity-inspired faces, so I find myself drawn to these skins.
I would have to say that this is one of the nicer celebrity skins out there, where it’s not just a low quality cut & paste job.
Meggan has 12 makeups, hair base, sexy breasts, and two open lips skin.

TP to The Circle Project; it’s out now!!!!
This Pink Fuel Amaterasu skin is a limited edition created for The Circle Project. It is anime-inspired and that’s paint (not blood) drawn on the skin itself. I have no idea where it is cos TCP has not started yet but I will update this post with a SLURL when I get it! :)
What I’m Wearing:
Kin – Blossom (White)
Pink Fuel – Elly (Milk) Amaterasu (ltbrow)
Bare Rose – Shengkai (Blue)

Do you know that people who always gives glowing feedback to everything by saying it’s so nice, I love it <3<3, stunning, awesome, great work! <- those people, everyone thinks they’re nice people. Sometimes I wonder if I’m not a nice person if I see the potential in something, but then I also can’t help but point out the things that are not so nice, not so awesome, and potentially could be hurting their brand.
Imabee is one of these skin brands that I think has potential, but there are some things that definitely needs work (in my opinion) so I hesitated to review it for a long time. I guess I didn’t want to offend, since my not-so-glowing reviews in the past (of other brands) have resulted in nothing but grief.
First, I’ll tell you the things that I think are wonderful about these skins. The new Imabee Serene skins have 6 makeups total and 3 brow choices, 10 lipstick tattoo layers and cleavage option. The makeups are stunning, and the options are enough to satisfy even the pickiest skin whore shopper.
Imabee – Serene (Stem tone)
Imabee -Brows – Red, Light, Dark
Imabee – Body
Now onto the things that have prevented me from being interested in these skins. This may or may not be a problem for some shoppers, but it is for me. I think this is a bad move to make it harder for shoppers to view your skin in its entirety. Please stamp a demo somewhere on the body, but don’t punish your potential customers this way.
Imabee – Serene (Apical, Petal, Stem tone)
Also, this is one of the downsides of social networking… Imabee creator, Brebndon Papp is on my Plurk timeline. Whenever I have seen previews of this skin in the past, I’ve always thought the tone was so goth (pale) looking. I guess I’m not a fan of tones that are not fleshy. I think that Stem is perfect, but in the past all the previews I’ve seen were in Apical or Petal tone. I didn’t love it at first sight.. it didn’t inspire me to demo them.
Well, that’s my review. I hope I haven’t offended anyone and I really think this brand has potential if some improvements are made.

SL hates me today. I can’t focus my avatar’s eyes at all, damn you pixel me, why won’t you look straight ahead!! Anyways, check out this new Yri skin from Dutch Touch. The full release release will be next week but you can get this skin in Cotton and Coffee tone — also a free group gift skin (::DUTCH TOUCH:: Skins & Shapes, $250l to join).

One of my favorite skin designers, Kira Ahn (owner and creator of DEKADE), is now releasing female skins under the CheerNo brand. This new Alisar skin created for CheerNO has 5 makeups, hair-base, and light or dark brows.
This is a beautiful skin, so I’m a lil sad it was not released for DEKADE, but I hope that DEKADE will still release skins now that Kira will be creating for both brands.

What I’m Wearing:
Analog Dog – Dive (Miso)
CheerNo – Femme – Alisar (Light/LB/Mu 05)
Bare Rose – Mimi top (part of outfit)
This is a preview of the new Audrey skin from Tuli that will be released later today tomorrow. I’m really excited about Audrey because I think she looks nothing like what Tuli has done in the past – the face is completely different, and the brows and lips are just amazing. I’m also really excited that there are lots of 2.0 lipstick layers to choose from!
If you’re dying to try Audrey before the release, join the Tuli Update group ($250L fee) and get a free group gift skin.
My hair is the new Lily style from Exile. It is available at The Dressing Room for a limited time only! The regular release will not have the 4 hair colors sold here.
Recently a new male skin store launched, and I’m totally smitten with the skins even though I can’t wear it on my female shape! I made a brand new boy shape to try it out and I really like it!
The skin I am wearing is from Sacred, and it is a free gift. All you have to do is click on one of the yellow bin things and answer a question, and it’s yours :)
I’m test-driving this for awhile to see if I like it enough to purchase it for my boy av. I’m pretty excited about this, since the last skin I purchased was a male Redgrave one.
Making a boy is A LOT harder than it looooooks! Big props to all the nice looking male avatars out there. I am so used to adjusting my sliders for Gogo, that any av I make, male or female, tends to look like just another version of me. Wups.
Thank you to my friends for all the tips though, hopefully my boy av will start shaping up nicely and not look like Gogo’s brother, lmao. For now, I am raiding my own closet until I purchase real boy clothes!
Visit Sacred Skins!
*note: The free skin has a band-aid, the skins that are for sale do not.
