First of all, please excuse the basic styling.  I have SO many skins to take snaps of that I used the same pose and styling for all of them...details on what I'm wearing and the pose I'm using at the bottom of this post.  I am not going in any particular order for these skins that I'm showing you.  Some posts may show more than one designer, others may only show one.  It depends on photo heavy it gets!  Anyhow lets begin with:

For blogging, Ayla has provided two beautiful skin lines in two tones each and 3 lipsticks per tone:  Fuchsia, Purple & Red.  I have never seen her skins before, but I must say I was quite impressed.  And they really did fit my shape well, too.  The body is not overly done or muscular looking, and has the right amount of shading and highlighting to look soft and feminine.  If you prefer a face with a bit of a more "girl-next-door" look, and a splattering of freckles, then you will love Daisy.  If you prefer a clean face with a bit more high fashion vibe, then Megan will be your girl!  But enough talk!  Let the photos speak for themselves:
