REVIEW: Glam Crush

I've got something new to share tonight. I've heard of these before, but this was my first time seeing them at Target. They're $9.99. You have a good idea which one you're getting thanks to the visible hair. I was able to find the one I wanted right away. 

There they all are, so that's very helpful if you're in the store and looking for a certain one. The hair sticking out the top is your clue. 

I wanted Penelope, the only one with darker hair, so she was easy to find. 

Checklist front. 

And back. 

So you push up on the bottom of the makeup brush thingy and the doll comes out. Her hair is stuck up in a barrette and you're instructed to wet it. 

Then there's a compact where the accessory is and a chisel/brush to help you with other gimmicks. 

The compact is filled with tightly-packed powder. You're supposed to dig into it with the chisel and find your doll's accessory. 

This was messy. As it looks like it would be. 

So her accessory is that tiny pink plastic doodad. It's supposed to be a contouring sponge. Sigh. How dull. It ended up in the trash with the rest of the packaging. 

Her hair did lie down easily with water though. No complaints there.

However, big complaint about the makeup effect. 

You're supposed to wet the sponge she came with under cold water and rub it across her face to reveal her makeup. Yeah, did not work. 

This pic on the right I took after a solid five minutes in the freezer. 

They're cute little dolls. Kind of remind me of the old Trollz line meets Sugar Planet. And the hair is really cool. But they're definitely not worth $10, especially because the cool makeup only appears if she's freezing cold. Otherwise, you're left with a bare-faced doll in a line about makeup. Sigh.
