Milk - Base

I came across some completely new-to-me skins the other night from a shop called The oBscene. The skins are by Kuja Akina and I was definitely a fan of the make-ups pretty quickly. At the shop you’ll also find eyes, lashes, clothing, and shapes made by both Kuja and her partner Angel Cleghorn.

There are three available tones but all the skins I have here are in my preferred light tone - milk. Each tone has a huge amount of make-up options (over 30 I think!) - from subtle daytime looks to alternative and grunge looks. Singles will set you back $1000L (each comes with lashes and eyebrow shape) and there are themed packs available as well.

Milk - Ala

I had 4 favorite make-ups in the Milk tone, 2 of which are the Base make-up and a beautifully rich yellow eyeshadow in “Ala.” I think the lips are especially pretty and all the make-ups I am showing you use varying shades of the pale pink lips.

Marni Grut has just wrapped up (or is wrapping up?) a massive sale at her brand Royal Blue. Only to make way for a whole slew of new inventory - including some of the goodies I fancied and will show you here.

It bears repeating that for me, Marni is one of the most interesting people I have met in SL (and one of the funniest). Some of her humor shows in her work at times - but no matter how you view the wares of this RL art student, she’s incredibly true to what her inspires her and not what might make her bank. Although I hope there’s lots of that too!

The trousers above are the “Harem High Waists” (Harem, of course) in taupe. There is no top, so build your own look around them. I opted for the rather simple, and I think perhaps even early Autumn look here with stark white tights and leather bag.

My skins are all new from Blowpop, and I told Annyka this, but her make-ups just get better and better. I love the strong lips in the “Shades of Valena” collection and especially the subtle blush of the “Keeping Up with the Rossinis” collection - both variants of the new Tuesday line.

Kaejo DaSilva, owner of Renegade, will be releasing new female skins shortly. This is the “Motivation” skin line, which will be available in 6 tones with 4 make-up options, including several pubic hair versions (I will never get used to saying things like this :p ).

I really like the skins, which feature faces that are a tad more realistic than I typically wear (but work very well I believe), and include some well done hand drawn details as well as excellent body shading. Overall, for me it’s a well done realistic skin.

As I said, the initial line features 6 tones (5 of which I have and will show you) and currently 4 make-ups: Gloss, Clean, Glamour, and Freckles. Kaejo says that later on he’ll add more creativity to them in his usual goth/emo/punk style, so look for those soon as well.

Here’s a look at several faces set to be available soon. As a reminder, I do not post process skin posts beyond consolidating, cropping and framing. WYSIWYG.

Light tone, Glamour

Tan tone, Freckles

“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.
