A Skin Sale and Sexy Lingerie

This is sort of part of my unofficial skin week, though rather than being naked I am showing off some lovely lingerie from INDI Designs and from Blacklace. I am also not really reviewing the skins shown in this post, just raving about how good they are and how incredibly cheap they are right now.

You see, there is a big sale going on at Blowpop in preparation for the next generation of skins. Mellie3 and Tuesday are discounted 50%—that means a pack of 4 or 3 skins is just L$ 600, and you can get fatpacks of 20 or 18 skins for L$ 2500—and the Infinity line—Elizabeth, Ava and Carmen—is discounted 60%, down to L$ 400 per skin or L$ 1600 for a pack of six makeups. Mellie3 and Tuesday will be staying around after the sale, I believe, but the Infinity line is being discontinued as the forthcoming skins are updated versions of these skins.

Style Notes & Slurls

Skins: Mellie3 Cinnamon The Goumada and Tuesday Honey Rai Sins in Scarlet by Blowpop
Hairs: Bella 2 Dark Cherry and Amy Golden Brown by Jolie Femme
Clothes: Passion Gold and Red by INDI Designs
Accessories: Babii Black by Adam n Eve
Poses: Boudoir Rouge

Mellie3 may be the oldest of the skins now offered at Blowpop, but I love her cheeky attitude on this shape, and she comes in some great makeups. Tuesday, for me, is both a little sweeter and a little more sophisticated. Both come with and without lovely freckles, and with black and brown brows.

I decided to dress up my Mellie3 and Tuesday models (two different shapes, as always) in one of INDI Designs latest releases, the Passion lingerie. I was tempted to pick up the whole pack of five, because the other three colours are great too, but I do have a rather extensive lingerie collection (and an inventory out of control). But it is a very pretty set, with several different options for how it can be worn. There’s versions with and without see-through lace, there’s a different bra and of course you can wear just the bra and panties as well. Plenty of layering options are also offered.

Style Notes & Slurls

Skins: Elizabeth Light Cream 6, Ava Deep Honey 5 and Carmen Pure Sienna 6 by Blowpop
Hairs: Bella Canyon, Amy III Black and Bella Dark Copper by Jolie Femme
Clothes: Belle Copper and Black by Blacklace
Accessories: Babii Black by Adam n Eve
Poses: Boudoir Rouge

The retiring Infinity line features the very sweet-faced and freckled Elizabeth in three shades of cream, the elegant Ava in three shades of honey and the sultry Carmen in three shades of Sienna. Each makeup comes with and without a hairbase, and there are six makeups available. I couldn’t honestly say which is my favourite, because they are all quite striking, and very different.

I put the girls in Belle from Blacklace, a sexy underbust corset with bra, panties, stockings and gloves. Layering options are also provided, and as can be seen on the middle girl you can also mix and match pieces from the various sets. The black set, of course, is great for mixing with the others, but the copper works well that way too. The fishnet stockings do stretch a bit in some poses, but that is pretty much unavoidable.

Don’t miss out on this sale at Blowpop. You can grab some fabulous skins for a very low price, and if you don’t want to buy the Infinity skins just because new versions are coming, I would definitely recommend looking closely at Mellie3 and Tuesday. And, frankly, I wouldn’t pass on Elizabeth, Ava or Carmen either. They’re truly gorgeous skins.
