“Lick, Don’t Bite” is the tagline for Annyka Bekkers‘ brand of Blowpop skins. I’ve blogged her generations many times before and I love all of them, though “Tuesday” is now perhaps my favorite. I know the world blogged Tuesday long before (I’m slowwww these days), but I spent a good chunk in SL this weekend and focused on wearing these lovelies much of the time.

You know the drill - 6 tones, 4 collections, 3 make-ups per tone, freckles, black/brown brows and only 950L for singles! The collection I chose to build the looks around are the Tuesday “All Day” collection, featuring 3 distinct make-ups to take you from dawn ’til dusk.

“Tuesday Morning,” fresh faced and unspoiled

“Tuesday Afternoon” - shopping? Lunch with friends?

I’ll get to Tuesday After Dark in a moment, but my other favorite make-ups of the 4 collections released are the “Shir” collection make-ups, shown here in the Honey tone. They’re totally pretty, and are my 100% favorite Blowpop skins to-date.

Tuli is releasing her new S6 skins tomorrow (?) and while I hate to rush the weekend, I’d like it to come sooner please. I’ve been closely following the beta teasers, and it won’t be long now!

The best part for me are the lips. The Lips! They’re awesome.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend yesterday’s Spring Ball as I was busy getting sunburned at a horseshow, but I have seen snaps of the party and everyone looked fantastic. I am however, enjoying my new “Laura” skin from Fleur - one of numerous new skins released by Roslin and CJ as part of a larger collaboration with Nicky Ree, Calla hair and Alienbear.

Though I was tempted to don one of the absolutely stunning ball gowns released by Nicky, I went with the more svelte “Laura” gown to accompany its namesake make-up (it’s also something I can wear a bit more methinks). The dress color is raven and it’s uniquely beautiful, as all of Nicky’s gowns are. The prim skirt attachments are scripted but I turned them all off, as I prefer not to mess with sit scripts.

Part of the Vivant line, the Laura skin is available in all six tones, with dramatic lined eyes and wine lips. Above are the palest cream and almond tones (my personal favorite).

I‘m not the fastest blogger in the land, but I still wanted to snap the new “Linda” dark tone coming out from PXL Creations early next week. I do wear PXL skins quite often - my favorites are the fairer tones (of which I own multiple make-ups), but I do sometimes wear dark skins, so I was excited to test this one as well. I wasn’t disappointed and I’m told that dark skins are especially hard to get right.

Since I began wearing Linda last year in the fairer tones, my only issue with them has been the eyebrows. But even a less than ideal brow hasn’t stopped me from acquiring my favorite make-ups over time. Like all the other Lindas, Linda dark is also mod/copy.

I’m guessing most folks have at least tried the Linda demos, but in case you need a reminder, Linda now comes in 5 tones with themed eyes and lips available in discounted packs. Singles are $1500L.
