Dazzle in sYs

If avant garde or cyber couture are your thing, then sYs is the store for you.

Abime is an avant garde gown to bring out the futuristic Cinderella in any woman. In what has come to be the trademark blue of sYs, the tiered skirt falls to the floor from a skin tight strapless bodice. It comes with long gloves and a stunning collar.

There is a new Epsilon skin in the collection. Dahlia comes with cleavage and hairbases. A - Pure and B - Dahlia.

A - HoloTattoo Armband. There are armbands for left and right with a tattooed butterfly in 5 colours underneath them.
B - HoloTattoo Necklace. This necklace has a stunning design and a butterfly tattoo in 5 colours underneath it on the back.

Meet Paige!

Nothing is sexier than skin. Adam n Eve has just released a new skin called Paige, and she is gorgeous!

Even without makeup, its a gorgeous skin. Above is the Natural Tone.

Each tone comes with tattoo layers that include 4 eyeshadows, 6 lipsticks, manicure/pedicure layers, pubic hairs, eyebrows and hairbases. Above are the Scarlet and Berry lipsticks.

This is where I start wishing Phoenix would hurry up and get the multiple tattoo layers so I could mix and match all the makeups to create my own special looks and combinations. Above are the Smokey and Pink Eyeshadows.

Check out an demo asap and see for yourself just how gorgeous Paige from Adam n Eve really is! You'll love her as much as I do!
