*Review* -Belleza- Jesse

Belleza’s Jesse is so irresistible. Its difficult to stop staring at the skin and more so to stop taking pictures of it. Every time I go to blog it, using just WL settings and no photoshop, I get photoshop happy. sorry. Please don’t judge me … I really can’t stop at a “just WL photo” for this skin. I really can’t. Its that good.

This picture was after two nights of blogging, erm, attempting to blog the skin. My first try is here in my flickr. Jesse even turned me from a white-blond to a dark brown haired girl. For this tone (Sunkiss) I really wanted to make an impact and choose a dark hair color. Its not to say that the lighter or fairer hairs won’t look nice, it goes back to the I was feeling “artistic” (or my poor attempt to be artsy). Sometimes sticking to blogging is better … but how can I when I have this skin?!

In my plurk about the photo, I did share the raw image file. My plurk time line is set to private. Please do join Plurk to see the image.

I’ll be quiet now and go back to loving the other Jesser makeups and tones. You should see Berry’s blog post for the Deep Tan tone and a nice sampling of the makeups. Thanks for reading – go see Belleza’s Jesse!

*Review* Aimesi Skin

Oh lookies! Its a new-to-me skin designer: Aimesi Skin. I wore these skins nearly all week to see them in various clothing and lighting. Aimesi Skins are really just that beautiful. Using the usual lighting (Caliah’s settings) and minor blurring techniques to round out the av edges and to have a more photographed look, the skin is untouched. The colors and tone are true to this skin.  When at the Skin & Shape Expo, stop in to see Aimesi Skins for yourself.

*Review* LAQ ~ Alison Glow skin

As you know from my prior posts about LAQ, Mallory is redoing her older skin for her Glow collection. Over the course of the next few days, I will be showcasing one skin per post. I like to show one skin so its not overwhelming or a picture heavy post. Today’s its Alison for me to show but in the store there are SIX skins.

*Review* Trubble – Autumn

Earlier this week I saw a teaser pic of this dress and wanted it. Rarely do I blog gowns or long dresses but this one, idk, I just liked.

Trubble’s Autumn was release yesterday. Autumn comes in virtually 5 different dresses: Long skirt with and without leaves, mid-length skirt with no leaves and a mini with and without leaves. phew. Lots of options!  Each skirt length can be purchased individually or in a fat pack. I wanted to show off the long skirt with the leaves due to the beautiful detailing in the skirt. The textures used really do make it look like a fabric or silk. Its very well crafted – and a keeper!

*Review* Pink Fuel – Pure

Pure from Pink Fuel will be available at the upcoming Skin and Shape Expo. I was so happy to see a beautifully casual skin tucked away in all the other gorgeous skins from Pink Fuel.  I srsly go weak in the knees for a clean faced skin. Nothing beats it. Its pretty clear that I rotate thru skins several times a day. This one will certainly be in the line up for a long while. Pink Fuel may just become one of my favorite “new-to-me” skin designers.

*Review* Manifest Shapes

Hi there. Its me, Ranger. Luna finally let me post something. She and Scarlet have been hogging the blogging spotlight lately.  With the Skin and Shape Fair starting on Saturday, I had to sneak in to blog my find from Manifest Shape.

I never change shape. My last shape was over a year old and long over due for a change. If you’re like me, check out Manifest Shapes. Here’s the the catch: its for guys only. Finally. Guys Only.

Manifest Shapes are limited in production. This isn’t one of those cookie-cutter shapes that everyone owns. When I found that out, I knew this was the shape I wanted. I want to be the one that stands out.

*Review* .::TD::. Sweet Augustine

One of my favorite things, other than blogging skins, is to see a loved-by-me-designer make huge leaps in products.  Tyr Rozenblum of Tyranny Designs has come a long way.  I can remember her sending me some beta skins and us yapping for a good while about them.  Tyr reached out to so many for feedback to learn more about skins and how to improve. Seeing those and seeing what she has released is simply amazing.

I did a little tease in a recent post of the skins. That was the day I was wow’d … and since I’ve been digging around in the all the folders. Out of the 22 makeups, some are currently in her store and others will be showcased at the Skin and Shape Expo. The makeups are remarkable – not many designers pair wild and subdued colors and all that she has in one release. Its a huge hurdle and I’m so happy to see Tyr do so well with not only the makeups but the complete body.

WTG Tyr!! Keep doing what you do best – wowing me!! <3

*Review* :GP: Breeze

Some times you have to give them a little tease to get their attention. Curio certainly did get my attention when I pulled out this Skin & Shape 2009 teaser.

I really had to restrain myself from not doing any tweaking in photoshop. Minus the crop, I did nothing else. The skin is just.that.stunning. Seriously.
