Wow, blogger would not let me log in to post this entry today O.o But anyway, now that I'm able to, I will proceed with my post!

Canimal makes many of my favorite things. My most favorite outfit, Absinthe is made by her. I think I own half her store, and my alt even sported an older Canimal skin for a long time. So, when the Canimal sim opened back up from renovations, I was excited, and TP'ed away. Unfortunately, I didn't have much time to explore and see everything, so I only managed to purchase a few skirts... and I didn't even get a chance to look at her new Essence skin line. However, when I logged in this morning to see she had dropped me some review copies, omg, I think I died. :P

The names of these skins are the most creative I've seen. Instead of being named after tones or people's names, the tones are named after a female quality and the makeups are derived from the phrase "The Essence of...." . I love the creativeness. Anyway, I did change my shape for these, because my normal shape doesn't really show them very well, so I used a shape I found randomly sitting my inventory. But, these are the five tones, grace, charm, lust, mystery, and charisma in the Simplicity makeup. I really like the faces, especially the lips. I should also point out - you can change the color, as well as the amount of gloss on the lips. ^^

Oh! And another awesome thing - these skins come with a variety of eyebrow bases! I am a total moron when it comes with working the eyebrow sliders, so these skins come with various types (pointy, thin, rounded), to suit just about any preference. ^^


I am totally in love with the bewb shading. When I seen them, I was like: "OMG! I have cleavage!" The rest of the body is well done as well, the seams are minimal, and the shading/highlighting is amazing. The skins do come with a set of eyes, which I have mixed feelings on (a tad bit too veiny and small for my taste), but I decided to show the blue colored eye, because I really love the color of it.
