Cutetitos CARE BEARITOS Cheat Codes

 


Got my Care Bears Cutetitos from Walmart.com!


There are only 6 to collect so I'm glad I got sent 2 different ones. 





Out of the bag. 




So I got Share Bear. 




And Good Luck Bear! (One of the 3 I wanted.)

 



Each wrap shows the bear's belly badge.




Said bellies.





Love that they did the heart buttons on their butts just like the regular CBs.



Adorable!




So yeah, 6 bears. And the codes for once are in no logical order that I can tell. Unless it goes backwards? Hmm.

Just Play's Shimmercorns Minis

 

You may have seen the larger Shimmercorns by Just Play in coverage from this year's Sweet Suite. But there are also mini blind bags!

I found these at Walmart and they cost only $2.97 each. 





Here's a photo of the 10 available, though do not go by this. My two weren't much like their pics here. Similar, but definite color differences.



I found a stamped in code on the bottom edge of the back of the pouch. I let the flash catch some of it in this pic so its location would be clearer.

I made sure to pick two different ones. I don't have proof, but I did see at least two pair of the same codes in the case I looked through, so it's very possible these are indeed cheat codes. 



They're a couple inches tall with a brushable tail and poseable wings. They come with their wings folded down. 


These are the two I got. There is sadly no checklist, so we have no names for these and no good way to list off any possible codes. I'm going to add individual pictures to this post as I get more and put the codes beside them. Feel free to contribute!

REVIEW: B-Kind Brianna



Success with Brianna! I had 4 to choose from at Walmart and brought this one home.

I thought she'd be my least favorite, but she's grown on me a lot over the few days of looking at her and not being able to open her, so it was nice to finally get a good one to open. 





Brianna is into the environment. 






Her birthday is 2 days before my mom's. She was amused by this. 


Brianna comes with A LOT. Definitely the most of any of the girls. 

She's got the basics: instructions, inspirational note to herself, pillow pet, brush, purse with stencil and 2 fabrics. 

Then there's her project: painting that basic white top and skirt. Aside from the clothing pieces, she comes with a stencil for said painting, a paintbrush, a paint palette, plus some fabric stickers for additional artistic options. 

On top of that, there are two ribbons and a paper outfit pattern that you can trace onto other fabric scraps and make more outfits! 

I was worried about the paint palette so I threw it out. I have no intention of painting the outfit, so I'm not keeping paints on a paper with my doll accessories.



How to instructions. 



I paused to decorate the purse for Ivy. So this is a gift from Koral and Brianna. 




Brianna is pretty cute. I did take her hair down briefly, thinking I wanted it loose, but it is definitely rooted to be in pigtails, so back in they went. 




I cut the ribbons in half because they were so long. I used one of each color as hair ties for her pigtails. 



I love her cute buns and barrettes. 

Unlike Daisy, Brianna has no gel in her hair. The ends of her buns are held down by her pigtail ties, so they must not have thought it was necessary. That makes Daisy the only one of these five dolls that has hair gel. 



Better shot of her barrettes. So cute. 




She easily has the best earrings of the bunch. Not only are they adorable, I love the contrast of the green with all the blonde and pink. 



Her shoes are cute, but have the same problem as Ivy's in that they're a bit too big. 



And here she is with her purse. 

She's very cute, just like the other four! I really hope to see more from this line. They've done very well so far.

REVIEW: Barbie Fashionistas #170



This lady got delayed, but finally made it out. 

I like this new reusable packaging. It could come in handy for sorting clothes. Wish I liked more of the dolls just to pick up more of these bags! But this one is the only one I had to have. 





This is a Fashionistas rarity. I actually like the doll and the outfit and the shoes. Most of the time, I buy them for the doll only. 




I have to say, her hair sucks. It's dry and cheap-feeling, which is something I don't usually say about Barbie hair. 




I brushed it to give it some crazy volume. I think it should have been a lot longer like it was in the art. 

She's a cute doll and I love her overall look, but the quality of the hair brings her down a lot for me.

REVIEW: B-Kind Koral



Koral is here! I was wondering if she'd make it, since she took so long to ship. I've been praying to the dolly gods that she arrived flawless, since going out and buying a new one would be more difficult. (I'm hoping to go get a new Brianna tomorrow night after work.) 





Koral is into the ocean. 






Side of the box.




She comes with the usual: pillow pet, brush, instruction booklet, inspirational note to herself, purse stencil and fabrics. 

Her project is making and designing reusable bags, so she has two of those, plus fabric stickers and flowers.



 


Instructions. 



While deboxing, I pulled up some of the fabric sticker sheet, so I decided to actually make the project this time. 

There are 4 cords and you just stick each end through the holes on the sides of the bags and a tie a knot inside. I put the neutral cords with the blue bag and the pink with the heart. 



I decorated the blue bag for Koral, so it's got a whale and a jellyfish on one side. The jellyfish has "Don't be jelly" written above it. Adorable. 




The other side says "Skip a straw. Save the turtles." 




And here's Koral! 

She's sooooooooo cute. I expected Daisy to be my second fave, but she was bumped out of the spot by Ivy. But now Koral is a hardcore contender. I'm going to say she and Ivy are in a tie for second fave. 



  

Her earrings are an upside down shell with a tassel dangling down, which gives the impression of a jellyfish. 




My Koral is a bit of a mystery. (And seems to be smug about it.)

In the promo pics, her left earring is blue and her right is either pink or lavender. The color looks different in the various photos and videos. But either way, her earrings are supposed to be mismatched and mine aren't. The mold is even the same on both, which makes me think this is an error and not a last-minute design change. I honestly like that they match and that they face different directions. It gives a better illusion of moving tassels. 



I love Koral's hairstyle. She has six long twists, but two are partially pulled up into buns. The ends of each of these two are tied to the top of another two. 

Koral's hair is a pretty blend of browns and there's no gel in it. her curly bangs are the only place she has light blue streaks. 




Cute shoes featuring shooting stars and shell toes. 




The shell toes do look a little like paws from the front. 





I forgot to debox her purse before I did the accessories photo, so here it is. Best purse by far. Love the shell and dolphin on the handle and the scalloped edges.




Got her purse and her reusable shopping bag! Ready to go. 


I want to decorate the heart bag for Ivy, because she doesn't have a purse. But the cutest fabric stickers seem to be with Brianna, so I have to wait until I get her first. 



One more shot. I love this girl way more than I expected to. She's a delight.
