To celebrate the release of their new skin, Suzana, LionSkins gave out a few skins to bloggers. I was lucky enough to get 3 of them. All freckled versions, which I love! The make-up is so funky, just perfect for clubbing. I looked over the skin and was very pleased. Great details, including the neck/collarbone area, which, as I am sure, you all know by now is a favorite of mine. The back bone is nicely highlighted…that looks great in a swim suit. But, my most favorite part…the ADORABLE butt dimples in the lower back! OMG I love them!
I went down to the store which has a nice airy feel to it. The Suzana line has 5 different skin tones, fair, pale, sun kissed, sun, and dark. Each one of these shades has 2 categories. Runway and glamour. You can also get a freckled skin which only comes in pale. In addition, they have a section called Beast which is a more raw, dramatic, gritty look. Beast is available in fair, pale and sun kissed. The skins are sold separately at $1200 each. Highly worth it. When I asked the owner/creator Lion Jonesford if there were fat packs available, she said “No, I like to have everyone make their own cocktail!” Fun!
You can also find a sign with information on the LionSkins Personality Contest in it, and older line of skins called Zee, available at $600L each. There are also some LeeZu Baxter items. The ZuZu Monokini is sold exclusively here, as well as the Liz dress in black.
I was able to chat with Olyvia Zenovka, the store manager. She had some very interesting things to say:
“The skins are designed in two parts because everyone has a “beauty” and glamorous side, and then the rahr! side at times too. It’s important to us, to allow the beauty within all of us to shine through. Even if you’re someone who chooses to not go with traditional glamour for your definition of beauty. Eventually, we want to challenge the boundaries of “by the book” beauty, and let it be known that each of us has our own style and beauty. At one point, we toyed with the line, “The evoluskin of beauty,” because we really do want to let everyone know that they are beautiful. You shouldn’t be afraid of color, or a bit different way to wear your makeup. Individuality sets us apart from the rest of the world, and here, we want to celebrate that rather than discourage it. Which is why we try and have so many makeup’s with the Suzana line. So that there’s something for everyone.”
