The Vanity Universe Skin Fair is opened now!
Perhaps I’m not the best blog to read if you want complete skin fair coverage this year. I’ve seen a lot of good, bad, and plain ugly skins over this past weekend. I’ll try to feature just a few of my “must haves” from the entire fair over this week. So far, I’ve found a few skins worth checking out!
When I did a massive inventory cleaning awhile ago, I deleted my entire Lara Skins folder. I had a couple of skins that I’ve purchased from Lara Skins but wore maybe once or twice? While the faces were always cute, the skins lacked options and were also not well made (had seams, the skin texture is grainy, etc).
I passed by Lara Skins several times before finally grabbing a demo, and after determining that I could work with this face, I gave it a chance. I thought Ava was pretty cute, and the price is attractive — $1900L fatpack of 5 skins with hair base, dark brows, a cleavage enhancer (on undershirt layer, not available on tattoo), and five additional tattoo makeups that includes smokey eyes, pink blush, and three eyeshadows. This skin has a pretty face, the body is OK (some area of the legs and overall I think it’s grainy) but I think this is an improvement for Lara Skins since the last time I checked it out.
These dark brows are OK, but I prefer lighter brows, so I wore the Lara Hurley Claire blonde eyebrows over the Ava skin. The blonde Claire brows tattoo is sold with the Claire skins pack, and not included with Ava. If you purchase an Ava skin pack (and don’t already own Claire), you might be able to ask Lara Hurley for the tattoo brows for free 🙂
Putting together my look today was easy, I wanted something Brown to go with this gorgeous new Spring necklace and Spring deer headpiece from LaGyo.
What I’m Wearing:
LaGyo – Spring necklace & earrings (gold)
LaGyo – Spring deer headpiece
Elikatira – Novel (Blonde 05)
Tiny Bird – Skinny Love (Taupe)
G-Field – Flower Pumps “Eve” Rose
can I ask – do u blog skins as they are gifts or do u buy them – just with al the trouble around the grid – its good to know what view the blogger is coming from
hi B, sometimes I blog about skins I buy or when a designer sends me their skins for review (although this rarely happens, probably because I’m not much of a reviewer!). I do love skins though, and all things fashion, so if I feature anything here, its either because I love it or for knowledge. I always leave it up to the readers to demo and decide for themselves if the skin is worth their Lindens, because it doesn’t matter what I say… I’m not the authority on anything. 🙂
