I had the pleasure of a surprise group notification today. The fabulous Mimi Coral over at Cupcakes sent out a notice to group members announcing a new skin line, Seduction. I highly recommend joining their group as this store is just fantastic and is always having some sort of sale, release, or new exciting fun toy they’re bringing into the shop.
Mimi was awesome enough to send out a little sneak peek to the group members and it’s love at first glance. These skins just rock. I looked over them closely and found very little to gripe about. The makeup I got to see was subtle and enhancing, and the eyebrows were neither too thin nor too thick. I scanned over the body looking for any obvious problems and was pleased to note a little mole on the back shoulder, because it’s similar to one I have in RL. I even gave in and went full frontal for you in a bit here…
There are slight seaming issues on the back just above the rear, but nothing too bad. Hands, feet and knees were better than expected on many skins in SL. Nothing jumped out on them as being fake or out of the ordinary. Infact, the only gripe I have is about the breasts. Yup I said it. Breasts. Tatas. Mangos. The Girls. Boobies. Milk Bags. Fun Bags. etc. See my problem lies in the shading at the top, I noticed it right off and thought it looked a little funny, a little… too much. I zoomed in and seemed to talk myself into it looking okay, but when I edited the pics for this I noticed it again. The shading makes them seem to pop right out to say howdy, and while I love my girls poppin’, don’t like them poppin’ out. The shading is seemingly oriented towards larger chests and almost makes me say “Omg so fake.” Just a little too perky is all I’m sayin’!
Overall though, they’re totally awesome. A wide range of tones gives something for (almost) everyone. Even providing options for those one the far ends of the spectrums, dark and pale. I think that the dark tanned Wheat is a very good option for the multi-ethnic residents, as you could pass for being of spanish decent, indian decent, or even middle eastern in the right light. The one ethnicity that is glaringly missing is Asian.
