Swan — Milena

Posted by Angel on Jan 15, 2013 in New | 1 comment

A few days ago, I was con­tacted by a skin designer want­ing to get my opin­ion on a new skin range she had cre­ated.  As you well know, I don’t really review skins too much as my heart has been given to Glam Affair, Adam n Eve and Lara Skins; and there are usu­ally other blog­gers that really go into skins and ver­ify every details.

I am more of a “As Long As I Look Like Me, I Am Happy” kinda gal, but then it never hurts to try out some­thing new… So I got to dis­cover the Swan brand and the Milena skin by Nat­suki Bailey.

So Milena comes with:

• 6 dif­fer­ent Make Ups
• 5 Skin Tones: Fair, Cream (in Make up view), Tan, Ivory, Noire.
• Enhanced Chest Ver­sion in addi­tion to Reg­u­lar one.

The Make up is fairly sim­ple and straight for­ward, I believe I needed to mod­ify my mouth shape a lit­tle to make it work (for me) but the fea­ture I loved the most were the really great work on the Eyebrows!!!

I totally fell in love with them at first sight!

How­ever, I need to point out that in the pack I received to review, there were no blonde and red­head options.  Though, I can say that it did not look odd to wear light blonde hair with this skin. The blend­ing of those brows is smart enough that it did not look odd or too dark to wear with my usual blondie hair.

I will admit that I did not exam­ine every micron of the skin to find seams or what not, but over­all it looked really lovely to me, and no major issues jumped to me whilst exam­in­ing it for the first time.

My only obser­va­tion would be that the Noire (very dark skin) seemed to have a strong red under­tone to me. Since, I do not wear these dark skins, I can­not fairly com­ment as it being a no no or not. It would really be a per­sonal choice and taste thing. Which is why we have demos!  I always rec­om­mend try­ing a skin and rely­ing on your own deci­sion and choice before say­ing yay or nay!

To get a free DEMO, do not hes­i­tate to go to the Mar­ket­place store and check it out, here is the link: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/14175

Why not give it a try, I have to say that the Cream ver­sion did not leave me dis­ap­pointed at all.
