Welcome to the New Age

The new year, and the new skins. Every year in Second Life I come to find more talented skin makers, the tastes of the people in skin evolves, and the quality each year surpasses the last. No joke, I really do believe that skin making takes a lot of skill and talent. Then again, I'm not a builder whatsoever, nor anything of the sort, but with how picky SL residents are, and the fact that you skin makers are able to meet our demands.. Props to you, guys. So, that brings me to a little store that you might have heard of, The Body Co.

The Body Co for the last year has gained a lot of popularity for the realism of their skins. I do have to admit that their highlighting and shadows on the skin is superb, they even give a slight shadow to your armpits so it creates an illusion of dimension. My one and only complain, apart from the price that has stopped me a couple of times from investing in more of their skins, is the fact that you have to actually use their make ups, and the make ups that are made for the body. They don't actually come with the skin, like they do in so many other stores, but you have to buy make up packs that are compatible with the skin, and that skin only. Now... On the plus side, you do have a lot of customizing options with their skins, and it blends flawlessly every single time. On the other hand.. it does also limit the way you can customize the avatar, and it can also get a little pricey by the end of the day.

Now, with that said, until Jan. 31, you are able to get most of The Body Co. Skins for only 500L. And their make up packs for 250L. By the end of the day you're saving a buttload! Now with the sale the prices are very reasonable, and you can get one of the best skins in the grid for almost nothing. The sale is located at theWarehouse, and in there, you can also find a lot of old favorites from big stores like Armidi, and Leverocci, and for only 100L. It's for sure worth a walk through after you get your skin.

Make sure to stop by the sale today and get your own skin today! And remember.. just because you are limited in your make up options, doesn't mean that you're not able to customize your skin in any way you like. I added freckles to my skin, and my own lipgloss from LAQ. If you're looking for individuality, you can very well still get it with these skins.
