Gotta Love Cupcakes
By Grazia Horwitz | July 17, 2007
While reading the new product forums I noticed some cute looking pics from Mimi Coral at <3 Cupcakes. Mimi came to SL in 2004, decided at some point to close her shop but re-opened it late May 2007. Over the last few days she has been posting a lot on the forum, so I decided to pick up some demos of her skins and see whether they looked as good on my avie as they did on the photos. After trying the demos I hurried back to the shop for the real deal because, yeah, they look good and what is even better, Mimi charges only L$ 300 for a single, and offers a really great deal for the fatpacks!
I bought the Exclusion Colourful pack for L$ 450 (!) which for now is only available in one skintone. Mimi wrote on the forum that she will come with additional skintones shortly. I think the face is sweet, not too photoreal, but not totally drawn either. The body has a subtle shading and highlights and looks very soft. It is not very detailed, but the abdomen is nicely made as well as the cleavage. If you want a highly realistic skin, this is probably not your first choice, but if you look for a good skin for a very good price, you might want to take Mimi’s skins into consideration.
I had to buy the fatpack of Mimi’s Difference skin too. Which, consisting of 8 skins for 1500 L$, is a total bargain in my opinion. This skin is also available in “tan” which is definitely a lot darker than the skins I’m wearing here. I am a fan of strong eye make ups with mute lips. I put a body shot in this one so that you can see some of the shading for yourself. The skins are done well… no seams, which for me is a total skin turn off, and no visible smudges.
The bikini is Chic Boutique’s Heart Bikini, and the hair is ETD’s Jessica and Hailey in the newly textured smoke and smoke faded. They are not yet available in the shop, since Elika has to retexture some 40 more styles before she is ready to roll. These hairstyles were sent out to the people who beta tested the new textures that Elika is working on.
Seen in world: yes ~ Review Copies: no ~ Friends list: no

The Exclusions are nice, though the brows aren’t my style.
