Birthstone Beauty

She was either a late christmas present or an early birthday gift, with my husband - you never know. He's not good with dates, but he does try. Anyway, she's the Emerald/May Birthstone Beauty. I've wanted her for quite some time, or one of her sisters, but couldn't make my mind which one. They all share one of my favourite moulds - Steffi. Almost each one has something nice about her, but all in all, they are very similar! Finally, I decided, that I wanted the May girl, since my birthday is in may and I like her colours, red hair and green eyes.


I do like her face and colours, but... well, the outfit is boring at best, however nicely made. And it was sewn tight into one, irremovable piece. OK, I know, it was supposed to ensure her to look best in the box, but then, why her hair was such a mess?
And, in the end, I think that her round face with very round eyes and round mouth with the round curls looks slightly overdone. So, it's a YES for the doll and a NOT TODAY for the stylization.

However, 30 seconds with hot water and my girl is stunning!

I'm really happy with the effect. :)

  1. Hello from Spain: How lucky you gift your husband did. This Barbie with Steffi mold is beautiful. I like eyes and long red hair. The clothes are beautiful. Enjoy it. Straight hair she looks even better. I love it. Keep in touch

  2. Ha, ha, bardzo spodobał mi się fragment o mężu. Najważniejsze, że się stara :) Gratuluję ślicznotki, wygląda uroczo w prostych włosach i kucyku!

    1. Mężyk typem standardowym nie jest, ale pewnie dzięki temu do siebie pasujemy. ;) Też mi się podoba w nowych włosach. Jakaś taka bardziej uniwersalna, poważniejsza i elegancka się zrobiła.

  3. Oryginalny strój taki całkiem nudny nie jest. Tylko kryształek w naszyjniku wystarczyłby jeden. Z 'okrągłościami' to masz rację :) Bardzo ładnie uporządkowałaś jej włosy.

    1. Zgadzam się, całkiem nudny nie jest. Jak się zresztą okaże w następnej notce, znalazłam dla niego zastosowanie. Po prostu chyba nie przepadam za sukienkami wieczorowymi. :)
