I seem to be doing quite a few skin posts lately, but there are great new ones to talk about. Not the least of which are new make-ups from Annyka Bekkers and her Mellie 3 skins at Blowpop. Did you know that Annyka also won “Best New Skin Designer” from Second Style Magazine? This was the first “Second Stylies,” recognizing exceptional contributions from content creators in a host of categories. It was a lot of fun putting together and I hope it’s a tradition that we’ll continue next year. Congrats, Annyka!

So there are two new packs out at Blowpop - 4 just released make-ups with unbelievably dramatic eyes and 4 “Black Mamba” make-ups with deep, smoky eyes. You get great options with each make-up purchase (brown/black eyebrows, freckled versions and optional trim on the underwear layer) but even better pricing than before. The new price for each single is $950L, with packs of 4 makeups for only $2850L. That’s quite a discount and well worth it.

My favorites are the colorful eyes (my top pick “Midori” is shown above) - although honestly, all the make-ups are unique and it was hard to choose a favorite.

For the Black Mamba pack released, there are four choices in make-ups - ranging from light lips to a bolder red. Below are 2 make-ups in the freckled versions. All my snaps are in the Cream tone (no post processing - just consolidating, cropping and framing).

See the rest after the jump…
