Belleza’s Belle

Belleza’s (SLURL) new skin line “Belle” will be coming soon, and girl… are you in for a treat. I’ve spent the better half of the last day, staring at a picture I took of myself wearing this skin… not because I’m vain (pfft, me vain? bah :P) but because I can’t get over how realistic the texture of the face is.

It’s so pretty, exotic, realistic, beautiful… I could go on. And granted, despite that I just KNOW these skins are going to be (and probably have already started being) plastered all over the Fashion Feed, I can’t help but want to be one of the bloggers singing the Belle Ballad of Praise. Despite that they haven’t been released yet, I’m so excited to share these pictures, that I can barely contain myself. Get ready to drool.

I Will Be Reviewing:

Belleza Belle in Tan. While the closeup I post will only show one of the many available makeups, you may view other upcoming makeup availabilities here and here.

I will start this review out by saying that it is a huge jump up from the rest of the Belleza skin lines. I’ll admit, I’ve tried them all, and this is the first one that ever really kept me feeling like “me”. I’m sure we all know what I mean. It’s an identity crisis that all of us skin whores have… so many skins, so many different looks. But still the desire to keep the identity we love. It’s a hard job, being a skin lover, I tell ya.

The face, as you can probably see, is absolutely gorgeous. Truly, as someone said on my Flickr stream, it is traffic stoppingly beautiful. It gave me a bit more of an exotic look, which I love… I’m a big fan of “exoticism”. At least, where my face is concerned. The makeups are all gorgeous, though some might be a little out-of-the-water for some people. I’m actually a big fan of quirky makeups when the occassion calls for them.

The nipples on this skin have actually always been my favorite part of Belleza’s skins. They’re textured and sexy, but not huge on the breast — they’re just right. And the color always consistently matches the skin tones perfectly. I love the belly button too, and that cute little detail, the beauty mark, to the bottom right of it.

My only, and I’ll admit this is a minor and petty, continuous complaint from me: is body hair color choices and options. The eyebrows are just slightly more brown than I normally like to wear with my consistently black hair styles. And the pubic hair is also slightly brownish. Pubic hair I’m not so bothered with, but eyebrow color choices are a big deal for me, and I’m sure I’m not alone. If a skin is absolutely, stunningly gorgeous, but has blazingly red eyebrows… the likelihood of my wearing it drops significantly. Belleza’s eyebrows, despite being notably brown, are not brown ENOUGH to keep me from wanting to wear this gorgeous piece of digital deliciousness. But still… eyebrow and pubic hair options, for the win.

Also, just throwing it out there — a tintable pubic hair option on an underwear layer would be a great addition to many skin lines, I feel. Not to mention it would silence those of us that dislike pubic hair in general (no hair, no fuss, eh?!). /endtwocents

Anyway, back to the beauty.

One thing I really need to point out on this skin, that struck my attention like nothing else — the highlighting on the back of the ankles, where the achilles tendon is… is FLAWLESS. Despite that I don’t have a picture of it, I wanted to point that out. They look incredible. When these babies come out, you should definitely take a closer peek at the sheer detail of shading and highlights on this skin. It’s truely remarkable. And while we’re checking out legs, take a look at the FEET on this skin… I hope none of you are dating foot fetishists! You’ll never be able to kick them away!

Overall, I’d say that Belleza’s new skin line is a giant A+ in my Big Book of Skin Whoreish Love. And when December 10th rolls around, get to the store early (SLURL)… because I have no doubt it’ll be flooded by droves of girls, old and new, looking to upgrade to the latest Belle.
