Updated: Sabrina Fair and two flexihairs: new at Adam-n-Eve
By Celebrity Trollop | May 31, 2006
Update: sachi Vixen released the soft gloss line of Sabrina Fair. (Of course my favorite makeup — Number 7 — isn’t one of the box ads sachi posted! D’oh!) But here’s number 8, of which I am also quite enamored.
I’ve been waiting and waiting — so patiently — to write about sachi Vixen’s new Sabrina Fair line of skins. If you meet me in world, you’ll usually find me in a Charmed skin by Starley Thereian or one of a set of custom GX series skins by Namssor Daguerre’s Second Skin Labs. But I have to admit I’ve been wearing Sabrina Fair skins for a solid week now and I’m hooked.
I’m not sure if sachi just loves Photoshop or if she’s lost her mind, but she’s created eight different makeup looks in three different makeup styles, with three different eyebrow choices (the carpet does match the drapes, if that sort of thing is important to you) in five different skin tones. 8 x 3 x 3 x 5 = 360 new skins (plus vendors, plus box ads!) I guess I’m choosing the latter possibility. Last week, she sent me a preview sampler of some of the makeup looks and different skin tones and I am so excited that she finally posted many of them were for sale.
The three makeup lines are “Birds of Paradise” which is a very colorful and dramatic line of lipsticks paired with exotic eye makeups. “Fantasy” which features adornments which are not “makeup” per se, but are objects difficult to display correctly with prim attachments — these could be forehead adornments, or bejweled headbands, or other fantasy inspired looks.
But my absolute favorite — the thing which has me addicted to these skins — and jonesing for more of them — is sachi’s “Soft Gloss” makeup line. Soft Gloss is a collection of more muted “natural” lipstick colors paired with shimmery neutral eyeshadows. I like these makeups so much I’ve been wearing the three Soft Gloss skins with the “wrong” hair colors — and the shimmer effect in these eyeshadows is so spot on that it has grabbed me and just won’t let go. The shimmer looks especially amazing with the new lighting in 1.10.
The Sabrina Fair skins are priced at L$1000 for a single makeup look, and L$5,000 for all 8 in a specific eyebrow color/makeup palette/skintone combination. When I checked this morning, my Soft Gloss favorites were not yet available for sale, but sachi thought they’d be finished later today or tomorrow. The Soft Gloss skins themselves are done — it’s making the box ads and packaging the skins into vendors that’s taking all the time now,but the Birds of Paradise and Fantasy makeups are mostly out for sale (some of the darker skin tones were still not out as of this morning), and demos are available for all of the new skins — so you can try them out before you buy.
Also brand new at Adam-n-Eve are two new flexihair designs, Jewel and Gem — so named because of the really pretty jeweled hair pin which is included in each design. Jewel is a blonde textured hair design (but tintable) in a mid-length look with flowing front bangs and back, while Gem is a bit longer (and comes in more colors) and has a slightly different bang configuration on the front. (More about these hair creations on sachi’s blog.)
Adam-n-Eve is located on Genesis.
