#343 Spring mixed with Elymode

Lustre Duos Eyeliner

Spring Mix 2015

Basic Cat Bright Eyeliner

This is a belated and apologetic Skin Fair post for Elymode, but the items are thankfully now available in the the mainstore.  I am a very conscientious and usually very organised blogger, I even keep spreadsheets to keep myself on track (how geeky is that!), to make sure I meet my blogging commitments.  

However, I guess since my mum passed away Feb 20 (and the five months before when she was hospitalised), which I talk about here, I realise now that I wasn't as organised as usual, and consequently misfiled some Skin Fair items.  I thought I had blogged all my review copies but an IM from Elysium from Elymode made me realise I hadn't :(.

Anyway, I have shown you a selection from each make-up package from Elymode, and they are stunning - adding make-up layers from other designers is not something I have done much before, but having seen these, I most definitely will be doing so in future.  To give you an idea of what you get in the packs, in the Cat Eyeliner you get 8 colours in both matte and glossy, the Lustra Duos come in 9 colours as do the Spring Mix.  I love how some are very bright, and others are muted, so whichever pack you choose there is something for any occasion.

Apologies again Elysium for the late blogpost.

#333 More from Skin Fair 2015 and newness from Shey

Here is another new face from the Skin Fair.  I have never tried an sYs skin before and they are definitely quite different to my usual style, but I really like the delicacy and softness of the skin and features,

My dress is new from Shey and comes with a hud allowing 15 texture choices for the dress itself, and 12 for the ribbon.  I had no trouble at all fitting it to my SLink Physique. My shoes from KC Couture also come with a hud allowing you a humongous 60 textures for main, trim, metal and heel.

#330 Skin Fair 2015 - PXL

Here I have another batch of skins to show you from Skin Fair 2015, this time the absolutely beautiful Aeryn from PXL

Aeryn Natural

I will be honest, I have known the name PXL for as long as I can remember but for some reason I have never tried their skins before.  I had a real "wow" moment when I tried these on, every tone is absolutely beautiful, with understated make-up and a fresh clean look but without looking too young.  Different in many ways to the skins I normally wear, but I still feel "me" in it if that makes sense?

Aeryn Olive

In addition to the four make ups, you get 4 eyebrow tones - dark, light, medium and no brow. plus a tintable eyebrow tattoo, freckles in light, medium and dark, and moles in the same three shades along with various breast options.  Appliers for Belleza Venus, Maitreya Lara, SLink Physique and Sweet Lips are available to purchase. 

Aeryn Pale

It was a real pleasure to blog these skins and I am sure I will be paying a visit to the PXL mainstore very soon to see what other beauties are available there.

#329 Skin Fair 2015 - Sn@tch

Today I am showing you some of the truly dramatic make-up Sn@tch have released for the Skin Fair 2015.  

Above I am showing the Cabaret Full Makeup which I absolutely adore, so bold and dramatic, and so easy to wear, I can definitely see these being pulled out for numerous blog posts in the future.

Below is the Nefertiti Eye Makeup, very exotic and mysterious and in a fantastic range of shadow colours.  I have a thing for eyeliner, particularly flips or wings, so these are very me.  There is plenty more to see at the Sn@tch shop at Skin Fair 2015, and I highly recommend you hop over there when crowds allow, and pick some dramatic bargains up.

#328 Skin Fair 2015 - Mundos

Today's Skin Fair 2015 post is a humongous one, because I wanted to include all make-ups in all tones because the tone really makes a difference to how the make-up appears.  I am introducing you to Daphne, new from Mundos:

Daphne - Sugar

As mentioned here I didn't even realise Mundos did skins until I was sent their group gift, Vera, and fell madly in love with her - and now I have a whole big bunch of Mundos skins that I love just as much, if not more so!

Daphne - Powder

Apologies to those who hate blog posts full of pics (I know you are out there, I have read it on plurk a few times) but I just couldn't choose what to leave out - and besides, I actually find this kind of post distracts my mind a bit more (if you read this post you will understand why any kind of distraction or something that keeps my mind busy is a good thing at the moment).

Daphne - Nougat

With each tone you do get a sets of intense brow and lip colours so you can mix and match as you wish.  I have shown the skins just as they come out of the box.

Daphne - Maple

Daphne - Luscious

Daphne - Latte

Daphne - Cocoa

Daphne - Baked

#325 Skin Fair 2015 - The Plastik

I always look forward to visiting The Plastik skins stall at Skin Fair, and this year, as always, they do not disappoint.  I am showing you all tones in the fabulous Immortalia range and without any extras, because Vae's skins are truly beautiful and deserve to be shown as they are straight from the box.  I am blown away by the little details such as the veins showing underneath the skin giving the appearance of delicacy.  

You get an amazing amount of extras in the box, eyebrow shapes, freckles for both body and face, freckle appliers, no nipple option, and a ton of make-up options,  I will definitely be having a good play with all the goodies when the Skin Fair is over and I am positive Immortalia will appear again on this blog.

#324 Skin Fair 2015 - Belleza

Here I am with another mammoth Skin Fair 2015 preview post, this time for Belleza, whose skins I wore almost exclusively till I realised that as a blogger I needed to ring the changes and experiment with other skins.  Even so, my love of Belleza skins has never left me so I was thrilled to see that they had a new skin available at the Skin Fair 2015, and Tess is a real beauty, and comes with a whole heap of options.  

Deep Tan 

Tess comes in 10 makeups and includes 6 brow options, cleavage layers, hair bases, blush, freckles, moles, matte/gloss lips and includes all 7 skin tones (fair, pale, medium, sunkissed, tan, deep tan & mocha) per purchase.  Fat pack, lip bundle and shape are all available separately.

Tan 

I am showing you in this post all the skin tones and a selection of the make-ups available in each tone, along with some of the different brow options.
  

Sunkissed

Pale 

Mocha 

Medium 

Fair

Now the full body shot (wearing sunkissed, my favourite from their range) - the body definition, particularly the midriff, on Belleza skins is, in my opinion, one of the best on the grid.  What a difference a mesh body makes though - I am not wearing one for these photos, doesn't make much difference for the head shots, but I can really see the difference in the shot below even with anti aliasing notched up to 16.

#323 - Skin Fair 2015 - WOW

This is the first of a number of Skin Fair 2015 blog posts I will be producing, and I will always focus entirely on the skins, because that's what Skin Fair is all about. I will be presenting skins from designers who are entirely new to me, which is something I love doing.  However, I will also be showing some wonderful new skins from designers whose work I am familiar with.  This first post falls into the latter category, as I am introducing you to Ilenia, brand new for the Skin Fair from WOW Skins.
  

Ilenia Tan

As always, Sawsan has done an amazing job and produced yet again one of the prettiest faces on the grid. I admit I might have gone a bit overboard showing you all the make-ups on all the tones but what can I say, I would rather give you too much than not enough!

Ilenia Milk

There is a skin tone here for everyone, I personally usually wear the tan, but have worn all tones at some point.  Each pack comes with blond, red and black eyebrows and a no brow option.  Cleavage option is also included

Ilenia Golden

Ilenia Bronze

Ilenia Dark Tan

And finally a full body shot - I will just be wearing the system body for most of my skin posts, if I do wear a mesh bod one it will show in the credits   My bikini from Just Because comes in a wide range of styles and colours.  In each pack you will find bikinis/tops rigged for Belleza (both regular and push up) and Maitreya, along with 5 standard mesh sizes.
