Annyka Bekkers of Blowpop has a new brand called Infinity. Meet Elizabeth, the soon-to-be released skins from Inifinity, which features the same hand-drawn type skins as Blowpop and they're so pretty!! Immediately I noticed the freckles which are subtle and lovely. They look youthful on, which I love and totally fresh faced. The Elizabeth skins shown here comes in six different makeups (with hair option) and three skin tones: Light Cream, Fresh Cream, Heavy Cream. I have a craving for sweets just typing out those delicious skin tone names!! YAY!
Infinity 'Elizabeth' (Light Cream)
Infinity 'Elizabeth' (Fresh Cream)
Infinity 'Elizabeth' (Heavy Cream)
These won't be released until next week, be sure to check the Infinity Skins blog for all the latest notices.
I don’t recommend eyes often, so you guys know when I do, they’re only eyes *I* would personally wear. These new Laqroki Dazzling Eyes series are STUNNING. The right pair of eyes can totally transform your avatar’s face. Each pair of Dazzling Eyes are $100L each. I tried to search for a fatpack but there wasn’t one 🙁
Truth has four new hairstyles, and they’re available in-world or on XStreetSl!!!!! YAY!
I am wearing Tamara, Joanna, Nicky, and Melissa in Swedish Blonde.
Do you like my fancy V-Day frames? They’re from Picnik! I love this site so much. I’ve mentioned Picnik before as being one of my favorite sites for editing blog photos, they’re totally worth the $25US/year subscription fee.
Elikapeka Tiramisu launched her new elikatira brand this past weekend with a bang! There are 10 new hairstyles on the newly built elikatira sim. Loyal fans of ETD will be very happy with the new hair textures and color packs.
elikatira – Wish | Horizon | Vivid
elikatira – Rush | Mood | Lasting 2
Check out all the amazing new hair colors! I am wearing Blonde 5 (my favorite), but I also have a soft spot for the Colour 09 (Pink) too! When ETD was still around, I had all my favorite hairs in both Blonde and Pink 😛 I’m really glad this option is available for some of us who like to wear Pink hair once in awhile.
I’ve been wondering how to wear this new LeLutka REA Poncho! It’s so pretty for pics, but I’ll have to wait until December when more SL sims are Winterized to take nice in-world pics with it.
What I’m Wearing:
Doppelganger Inc. – Slouch Pocket Tank (Sky Stripe)
Doppelganger Inc. – Slouch Pocket Tank
elikatira – Away (Blonde 05)
LeLutka – Rea Poncho (Polar)
Kookie – Enya Boot (Ash)
Mmm….Mmmm…… three new hairstyles from Truth. Yes it’s all over the feeds, but nice things always are, aren’t they?
I’m wearing Kylie, Giada (has a color changeable headband), and Annie in Swedish Blonde texture.
KA Designs released a shorter version of the Maxi Bohemian Dress! I find this new shorter length much more wearable and fits me better. Yay for being an SL “shortie”, even though I’m not even that short! Designers: stop making your long skirts for AMAZON MODELS!
What I’m Wearing:
Laqroki – Pearl 10 [Fair] Glow Skin
KA – Maxi Bohemian Dress V2
G-Field – Pearl Set “Trinity” White
Ivey Deschanel of Sn@tch has just released the Glory glitter & lace dress in 4 fabulous colors – Coal, Green, Purple, and Wine. The dress includes a lace skirt, posture collar, and fingerless gloves. I like the feminine look of the dress in the front in contrast with the edgy revealing backside.
When Bakes on Mesh went live six months ago, I thought it would change the way we wore skins and phase out appliers completely. This did not happen. In fact, I recently learned that with BoM (just a fancy name for system layers that we’ve had since the beginning of SL), it’s not possible to have high-resolution appliers. LeLutka responded by launching a new BoM-ready mesh head with brand new HD applier zones, thus continuing your dependency on appliers forever. Genus followed by delivering a BoM script to customers and encouraging the continued use of appliers. Did BoM make things easier for anyone? No.
I see lots of SL residents and friends saying that they won’t use BoM, or they don’t understand BoM. Even though the concept is simple, the way mesh head brands have merged appliers with BoM created chaos. I think it would be easier if brands broke their mesh heads out into 3 products: Mesh Head w/ Appliers Only (what we had), Mesh Head with Just BoM (one mesh, removing all the “onion layers”), and Mesh Head with a Combination of BoM & Appliers (the direction we’re headed in). Something for everyone. Does this create more work for designers? Absolutely.
I said I would only go BoM when my skin was available, and that day came with the latest Pink Fuel Gaia release. I had to give up my EEP Viewer to use the latest official SL viewer. The new Gaia and Maia skins from Pink Fuel are system layers, so if you don’t currently have a BoM-activated Genus mesh head, you can’t wear this skin. This skin is made for Genus, and will not fit any other brands. Of course, you can try, but the result would not be pretty.
From left to right: The basic Pink Fuel Gaia system skin in Peach tone | w/ added eyeshadow & lip gloss system layers (included with skin package) | with Applier eyeliner, and applier HD lipgloss | Vampy System tattoo makeups w/ applier HD lipgloss
I’ve played around with a combination of wearing only system layers makeups, only appliers makeups, and a combination of both. BoM is still new and kind of confusing, but once you get it and use it correctly, your customization options are endless. I’m having fun incorporating bits of my old makeup brand, cheLLe, into my current look.
Are you ready to try BoM? Get this Limited Edition Be Mine 2020 (Genus BoM skin) from Pink Fuel for just $50L!
