After seeing another thread; I spend a great deal of my lindens on skins, I'm obsessed really! Normally this is trial and error based on going to skin fairs. It's often that I find someone who is not a big name who makes amazing skins. It's tough when you see someone with a great skin to a) figure out who created it b) ask (they probably won't tell you), or c) walk away frustrated that someone has a better skin. Anyone care to show where they get amazing skins from?

My latest find is from Exodi who has some very nice skins (hopefully people can see this):

I settled on SinSkins after a couple of weeks in SL. I haven't looked at any others since.

I use, love and recommend Belleza skins. I have been asked about my skin and I happily give out the landmark. The people that help make me look good deserve the business and credit :-)

And I've been that way with Curio; but that Exodi is gorgeous, going to have to check them out. The only skins I own besides Curio, are ones that I won from Lucky Chairs. One from Cupcakes, which is pretty but too fair for me, and one from one of the stores from the list Lil posted a few days ago, also too fair for me.

I <3 my Curio skins. Although the new line has baked in dark eyebrows. :(

Sin skins were my first skin, I used them for almost a year. I just don't like the shading on the tooshie on the 2.0 ones. Waaaay too dark.

I have lots of skins I paid a lot for and like, and some that I paid a lot for and don't like :P

But I catch myself wearing this skin from A Piece of Candy a LOT and guess what? It was a freebie:) I LOVE the bedroom eyes :)

Oh, those aren't covered in tape. It would be cruel to have to pull the tape off them. Sran wrap is a better choice.
