I ordered five and received one of each, plus an extra Draculaura. Both Lauras and Frankie will be going back. I only wanted Toralei and then caved and opened Clawdeen, too.
This series is definitely on the odd side. The weird blush and cheek deco are a choice. I think they work best on these two characters.
I do love Toralei's color scheme though. The lighter, brighter orange is a nice hair color for her.
If you put the glasses on, it's almost like she could be a new character, but I like seeing the makeup, so they're staying off.
She's adorable. She's not the most in character Toralei ever, but I like her anyway.
Then we've got Clawdeen.
She has little braids scattered throughout her hair, even in the back.
She also makes this unusual makeup style look okay.
Not my favorite version of either character by a long shot, but they're fun and they weren't that expensive.
It's going to be interesting to see how things go moving forward. Prices are going to increase. I'm not sure how many lines will survive or how many things might be sold only internationally. I've been limiting my playline purchases and I definitely see that continuing into the future. I'm trying to support smaller independent creators while they're still around, as well as importing things before the cutoff date. (Several companies are pausing in shipping to the US.)

The Make-Up of Buried Secrets is interesting, and with these I have a theory they're trying to copy a very popular OOAK make-up style that I see a lot. (And low key kinda do it better? But that's because this style doesn't quite appeal to me personally.)
