Fashion Liability!

I’ve been a major skin whore since my return to SL® only six short weeks ago.  Many a fatpack has found its way into my inventory, and I love all of them, but my latest love has to be the nummylicious Bella skins by Cake.

These skins are really beautiful and soft-looking.  They’re intensely pretty and just really….female, you know?  There’s very little bad to say about them, with the possible exception that it blew a seriously big hole in my Linden balance when I opted to get all of them!

Bella by the numbers:

• L$1250 each

• 4 packs of four makeups at L$3000

• All 16 makeups for L$10000

• 12 tones in all, named after cities around the world; I am wearing Vancouver – a city close to my heart, geographically and spiritually.

The cost is what it is; Cake has always been above the curve when it comes to cost for everything they sell.  There are not many options included with this skin, which other designers have started to include as a matter of standard practice.  There is an underwear layer for pubic hair, and a brow shape.  The eyebrows are moddable, but the colour can’t be changed.  That kind of sucks, especially for the raven-haired among us.  No cleavage for the bountiful either.  But I like my boobs just fine already.

The makeup choices are all well-done.  I am not a big fan of overly-done makeups, and Stumbelina has balanced that line perfectly.  She has made-up eyes with neutral, glossy lips, and vice versa.  I especially love that she’s included a rosy-cheeked makeup that looks like you’re skiing for the weekend in Whistler!

Sometimes with skin creators, I’ve noticed that the stomachs are really ripped, which is fine but I personally prefer a softer look.  I don’t know many females with a six-pack.  I definitely like the belly-button as well.  I could poke my finger in there!  The back, too, is not overdone with muscle shading bulging everywhere.

If you haven’t tried the demos, you definitely should go check them out.  And while you’re there, grab the new eyelashes!  The pillow lashes are awesome!

Teleport to Cake.
