Review: Flawless Skins & Shapes, New Collection

Today's post is a special request from Analy Amat, owner of Flawless Skins & Shapes, who gave me a special sneak peak at her newest shape lineup that will be released at her store during her special Flawless Summer Lovin' event which runs June 22nd to July 8th at her store.  We were given 4 shapes to review, two of which have several variations.

Overall, the shapes are pretty well done.  We like the face, which is almost the same between the four, but there are some subtle variations.  While there are many nice shapes in SL, there are also plenty that look too compressed or to swollen in the face.  These shapes manage to avoid that problem, giving a happy medium between a French runway look and an American farmgirl look.  The eyes are particularly detailed and subtle, they really catch your attention when you look at them.

Overall the price is not bad for the shapes.  The Larissa and Iris shape will retail for L$50 and the Jasmin and Raissa shapes will retail for L$500 for all three shapes.  Many of the better shape stores in SL retail for much higher than that, and this allows anyone on a budget to purchase a well-designed shape. 

There are a couple of details that I do not like as much.  While I like the look of the longer torso and hips, and the overall look is pretty well proportioned, the shape is a little overdone to the point where it can distort the textures on clothing and make it difficult to line up primmed items appropriately.  It also makes me question whether or not mesh will fit with the shapes well or if you'll have to break down and use standard sizing.

The other thing that I do not like, and this could be just for the press releases sent to blogger, is that it came as No Mod.  While you're able to copy this shape, which is nice for some people for saving to their outfits, you are unable to mod it at all.  There have been plenty of times where I've had to, in a pinch, alter my shape for clothing to fit better.  If the final release is in fact no mod, then you will not be able to do that.

Styles:

Swim Suit:  Sas-It-Up, Animalistic Print Strapless Thong Bikini Fat Pack for L$349
(note: I'm wearing the tiger print)

Overall:  8/10

Pros:  Well done, pretty well proportioned

Cons:  Shorten the hips and torso a little, shape released to the bloggers is no-mod
