Defectiva Skins

I’m a big LeeZu fangirl because her textures are so vibrant and the designs are original. I knew I wanted this gorgeous Mailin Blouse when the new release notice landed in my inventory. I love that LeeZu does has very ‘girlie’ designs, but she also tries go further by using sculpt pieces to enhance the clothing item. The ruffles are awesome, and I’m in awe of the sculpted ruffles attachment that gives it a 3-D look when you cam all around in-world. This kind of attention to detail is what sets LeeZu apart from many designers.

I’m wearing the LeeZu Mailin Blouse with some LeeZu BritPants, which are available in similar matching colors, so they’re so easy to mix-and-match or coordinate.

Check it out! I’m wearing the new Belleza Elle skin! I haven’t blogged any Belleza skins since December 2008, so I thought I would give this brand a try again.

I grabbed Elle demos a few days ago and I was not sold on the face immediately. When I was at the shop, I also noticed that when you purchase skins packs you don’t get ALL the brows options! Belleza packs are divided by Brows colors, so you get ALL the skin tones when you purchase a pack. So if I wanted both Blonde and Black brows, I would have to purchase two packs. I am a brows girl, I couldn’t care less about getting all the skin tones. I like how some designers gives you 2 similar skin tones (like Gala), but the darkest my avatar usually goes is Sunkissed. I don’t need Tan, Dark Tan, or any skin color that’s darker than that. The way the pack is divided at Belleza is somewhat useless to me.

To test drive this skin, I paid $250 to join the Belleza group to get the group gift skins. I don’t regret joining the group for the skins, cos $250 is a small price to pay but I totally hate giving up a valuable group spot! I know I’m being cheap when I say this, but I feel obligated to stay in the group now, cos I paid for it. I know that groups are for loyal customers, but I have too many land groups!! It’s not that I don’t want to BE in a group forever, it’s just impossible for me to be in ALL the skin groups. I’m already ‘stuck’ in a bunch of them!

Anyways… Belleza, awesome or not?

What I’m Wearing:

Belleza – Elle BR Fair Group Gift

50L Friday is pretty cute this week but I have some gripes!!!

Things that annoys me about 50L Friday:

1. People who resell the item several weeks in a row!

2. People who recolor the same clothing items several times in a row!

3. People who have no item at all!!

4. People who set out more than one 50L item!

5. People who sell lower quality goods just cos it’s 50L! (i.e., they don’t include all the layers or it just doesn’t look as nice as the items they sell at regular price)

If this sounds like you, I’m totally talking about you.

Now, onto some fantastic finds this week…

Tiny Bird has two new hairstyles, the Heartbeats & Heartbeats II (worn in Ash Blonde here) includes a color-changing headband. Also, I love this comfy looking Surf Couture ‘Down the Shore Tee’ and super glam Kyoot ’50L Celebrity Harness Dress’.

Annnnnnd….. if you want something BUNNYish and beyond cute, check out Katat0nik’s Funny Bunny Roller Girl Outfit (includes matching roller skates!)

You have until Midnight SLT to grab these goodies at the uber low price.
