REVIEW: Moonspell Magic RAE LUMINA

 

I think I saw people saying they were disappointed she wasn't like red, orange and yellow, and I get it. I always want more red. But then again, I really like the color of her skirt and hair. 

Her candle is in here. It was loose.

I wish her purse had some color. I love the design, but why did Claire get color and Willow and Rae have none? 

Upside down cauldron again.

Goddess! She's beautiful. 

I think my one nitpick aside from the lack of paint on the purse is that her earrings don't match anything. Really cute design though. I'll forgive it. Just a bit of an odd choice when gold exists. 

Her hair was in a hairnet that's secured to her head on each side. Gently remove the plastic tabs! I can see her hair snagging them easily. 

I couldn't get a good shot of the suns on her heels, but they're there. 

Sigh. We really needed this line. It's such a breath of fresh air. 

Unlike Willow and Claire's hats, Rae's has a comb. It works pretty nicely. I think better than Willow and Claire's. They all stay on decently though. 

I adore this candle. It's got great detail I couldn't photograph well. 

Every one of these ladies is a pure winner. I can't express how much I love them, but I've been working really hard at moving plus doing my usual work week, and they just gave me a great burst of energy. So so so happy to have them! 

Now I need the other two, Mattel. Like now.

REVIEW: Moonspell Magic WILLOW THORNE

 

I know it's not people's first time seeing her, but let me just say how shady that eBay seller came off. No thank you. I want no part of that. 

More stunning art. 

Back of the box. 

They each have a book and potion bottle. 

I like the little plant in the bottle. 

Upside down cauldron. 

ADORE. 

I love the color scheme of this entire line. It could use more red, but I love black and jewel tones, so I'm here for it. 

I love that we have so much representation already. 

The makeup is so cute. 

Pants are always a plus. 

Though I kinda hate that they hide these! They're adorable!

I know it would take away from the look, but again, wish the bottle had a finger loop. I'm going to have to place it near her instead. 

Gorgeous, gorgeous, perfection. 

This line. 

Simply wow.

REVIEW: Moonspell Magic CLAIRE DE LUNA

I'M SO HAPPY. I've been obsessing over these since we first saw them, so I had to grab them from We R Toys when they got them in. (Same place I got the Slaycation MH. Yes, prices are high, but I have rewards and codes and I'm horribly impatient.) 

Forever annoyed that they glue this gorgeous art down so I can't make it into a bookmark. 

Braille!

Back of the box. 

Art.

More art. 

Hat, Cane and purse. The purse is printed on both sides. I love it. 

Crystal ball. Wish this had a finger loop.

Potion bottle. 

Sunglasses. 

Textbook. 

I flipped this upside down to show the moon inside. I think you're supposed to put water in them and it rises up? I dunno. I'm not getting water near my dolls. 

They're all gorgeous, but she is far and away my favorite. I adore her. 

The necklace was in the cauldron, so don't freak if you don't see it on your doll. 

THAT FACE. 

I love all of this outfit. 

Lighting got a little off here, so the color isn't accurate, but you can see the right color in other pics. 

Love this. 

Gah, she looks so good in these that I'm definitely keeping two of her so one can wear these and one can show off her awesome eyes. 

Dying from how perfect she is. 

She is so amazing. I barely even have words. Favorite doll of the year and I doubt anyone will topple her from that spot.

REVIEW: Sparkling Princess ARIEL

 

Finally getting around to Ariel!

Pretty art.

She's beautiful.

The hair could be better. They spent a little too much time and gel on how it looked in the box and didn't care as much about how it felt outside the box. 

It's a bit dry, though not as bad as Belle's. 

Disappointed they didn't even try for her bangs. 

That face though!

I think every bit except the hair is perfectly executed.

One of my top two Ariel dolls, the other being 1997 Tropical Splash.
