REVIEW: Rainbow High Sparkle and Shine MISTY

FINALLY!

This is my first review in almost a month. It's that money's tight time of year, but I just did really well on some sales, so expect a bunch more reviews coming soon. Especially because MGAE in particular is nailing us with new releases. 

I can't tell you guys how happy I am to finally have this girl in my hands. (That's what my initial "finally" meant, although it also can pertain to finally getting back to reviewing.)

I was so worried the US was not getting these. I'm still nervous about Whitney, my second fave from this line, and Dawn, but at least I have Misty. And boy, do I love Misty. 

While Misty isn't as loaded with gel as past RHers, she still had enough that I wanted to wash her out. I didn't like how her hair was messed up from packaging, so I changed it a bit. 

I undid the band that was holding two pigtails of microbraids severely against her head, so now they're moving freely. I also pulled the straight hair that was stuck in those pigtails out, because it was tangled. So she's got more loose hair around her face than her stock hairstyle. 

She is absolutely stunning. 

Love the makeup. 

Also love her blend of hair colors. She's very unique. 

I haven't watched the show so I'm not sure what Misty's thing is. Her box showed some plant stuff, so maybe she's into botany. 

I like her style. I'm not into fashion, but it feels like a blend of goth and dark academia. Or maybe that last part is just from the collar on her top. I dunno. 

Her makeup definitely fits into goth. One of the main reasons I wanted her so badly is that you do not see dolls of non-white goths very often. Especially not black goths. While she's not pure goth, she's still a dark enough aesthetic that it fills my need for more non-white goth dolls a little. Only a little though. More companies need to get on this.

Anyway. 

Misty's mirror makes me think of the unused Storywood theme. It just looks fairytaleish with the design and the swan.  

I like all of her accessories, though I never care for the drinks much and the lipgloss keeps wanting to come apart, so I popped it in her purse.

If she's into plants like her decor hints, I wish she'd come with a tiny plant or a botany book.  

Absolutely stunning. She is right up there with Shani and Monique as my fave RH/SH black characters. 

I hate that people will probably sleep on this line because whine whine articulation whine whine childish legs whine whine. Misty is an amazing doll.
