this is exactly what I ike about your channel. everyone reviews the latest doll nowadays, but few talk about past dolls and trends. plus your delivery is entertaining AF. Thanks for the video.
The 2009 holiday barbie was the first barbie I added to my collection...she is incredibly beautiful in person. The box, the quality, the dress, the face, the earrings, the experience. 500 dolls later she's one of my faves in my collection. Love this era.
The 2009 holiday Barbie especially the AA version is pure perfection, I have 4 of them and still can’t get over her, the best thing is that I got all of the for really nice price.
I have almost every doll on your list. Thank you for reminding me how amazing these dolls are and giving me the inspiration to get them out again. Now you can see why my annoyance with Mattel is so intense when this is the caliber I’m used to vs the stuff they are offering now
1) I loved this video! You looked so happy talking about this topic. 2) I hate you a little bit because my life will now not be complete without the Jonathan Adler Barbie 3) I missed this era of Barbies - my kid was a baby doll girl...much to my sorrow. These racoon eye Barbies are awesome! Thanks again for the video!
This was a great time for Barbie. 3 of my favorites are the Diva collection. Red Hot, Gone Platinum, and All That Glitters have beautiful makeup. Their outfits are so good too! They are from around 2001/02. These are the dolls and quality I am missing. Today’s dolls just dont compare, makes me wanna scream lol. This was an awesome video!
I am totally with you on the raccoon eye dolls...they are my favorites and I seem to buy them the most! I currently have the MAC doll and the Pantone paint doll but really want Christabelle!!!!
My favorite is also the the 2009 era, best screening ever. But I do have to give a shout out to the 2007 top model series, the screening, the outfits and attention to detail was outstanding. I love how the lines were blurred between play line and collector/signature. Oh and also Barbie basics, those girls had incredible makeup. The only thing that could’ve made both those lines better was the articulated model muse body.
So I never knew I collected this era of Barbie until I saw this video 😂 These are some of the best ever, and I’m happy to have some in my collection and now I need more! Thank you for this, this video was great!
Great discussion topic. I didn't realize it, but you showed some of my favourite dolls, so I guess I really like the raccoon eyes as well. I think sometimes they go a little overboard (e.g. the blonde Generations of Dreams), but generally those eyes give the dolls more character than most modern Barbies. In addition to most Barbies having less eye makeup now, something has also changed in the way they apply the eye colour. For example, some of the Looks dolls have an eye area that looks more flat, rather than the softer layers that older dolls. However, I have some recent Holiday Barbies that have some nice eye makeup (e.g. the 2019 Shani sculpt and the 2021 Kira sculpt). Apparently some of the older molds like those have deeper eye indentations, so the eyes actually do have more depth, and maybe they use the older way of applying colour on them.
I don't even collect Barbie but the way I need that Debbie Harry doll 😭 I think my favorite makeup era for dolls is best summed up by early Monster High and MGA's Bratzillaz dolls; so 2012-2014 or so? Like I remember the first time I saw the Scarily Ever After lineup for MH and just being blown away seeing makeup like that on playline dolls. Also going to shout out RH series 3 for the few dolls produced at that time with thicker and more blunt shaped brows, I adore that look! Emi Vanda being the principal example, fabulous makeup overall.
In reference to just before the 7 min mark - once the dumpster fire begins the fire trucks arrive 😝 Also, this video explains exactly why certain dolls instantly appeal to me - any remnant of dark eye make-up on today's Barbie dolls gets me every time 😅 Thanks for the epiphany, haha - great video!
Christabelle was a 2007 Barbie Collector Exclusive, retailed at $175. Also you can probably find a MAC Barbie on ebay with a decent box for around $100. Great video topic!
WOW! I'm so glad you did this review! I completely agree with you 100%! Love that style of face paint and makeup, but I wasn't thrilled with the model muse body. Didn't mind it sometimes, it is interesting, but now more then ever they are using it to much. I'm high five-ing you on this review. I love all your videos, but this one really hit the nail dead on the head. FABULOUS review!
You come up with some of the best character descriptions for these dolls “gets mad everytime their kids come home” killed me 🤣🤣🤣 For me it’s the 2005- 2007 era. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the raccoon makeup and find it incredibly nostalgic but there were some dolls like the 2005 Holiday Angel, the Spring into Style Barbie, or the 2007 Angel Barbie that had some gorgeous makeup looks. I had the 2005 Angel Barbie as a kid (it was actually a First Communion present) and I was blown away with how gorgeous her makeup was. Like she’s an angel but still wants to rock a red lip, I love it 👍🏻💗💗
I agree with you on almost everything! I go down the doll isle every single store I go to and I haven’t seen cute Barbie’s since I was in middle school (2005-6ish)
Model muse are actually my favourite body type and I usually change most of dolls into model muse body hahaha on the other hand I have tons of fashionista body, we would make a perfect exchange duo lol
I was a Barbie playline designer during that time and I remember most of the designers on these dolls. Sharon Zuckerman designed the Mac Doll and that inspired upper management to ask Sharon to create the Top Model line. I don’t remember who designed the 2007 Holiday doll, but I know that Sharon designed the Pirate Barbie, the 2009 Holiday dolls, the 2010 Cinderella doll, the Alice in Wonderland Collector Assortment, The Collector Little Red Ridinghood two pack, and all of the Hard Rock Cafe dolls, and she worked on all of the Byron Lars Chapeaux dolls and World Travel dolls. Bill Greening did all of the Cher 2010 dolls, Pop Life Asst, Ladies of the 80’s (Joan Jett, Cyndi Lauper & Debbie Harry) and the 2010 Hello Kitty dolls. Lynda Kyaw did the Goddess series (Medusa, Athena and Aphrodite), as well as the Dolls of the World, Porsche dolls, Pink Pantone doll, and I’m pretty sure that she worked on all the Blonds dolls
Oh my YESSS! You have me in tears!!! I Freaking love your commentary. I just restarted my collection to combat feeling blah. I am new but living for your videos. Sending lots of love from SoCal. 😘
Gosh I feel like we’re twins on our Barbie tastes, I love your videos! That’s exactly the era I collect. I have a small collector selection I display in my living room and almost every single one has the badass ho makeup. I have three of the HRC dolls, slowly working on completing the line. They’re just so representative of the Noughties. And I have several of the Holiday dolls you showed! They’re just amazing. And yes you can get them for cheaper if you watch for auctions, people don’t want to pay the prices eBay scalpers are trying to charge us. I have about 30 of the early Fashionista articulated dolls and the Swapping Styles, they’re just so pretty. It’s too bad they always use the GG sculpt for Barbie. Some of them have such heavy makeup you can barely see her eyes lmao. 😅
I really love videos like this, just someone talking about the things they love. And it's also a very casual retrospect that's easy to watch bc it doesn't have a lot of hard data.
You were on fire!! I laughed through this whole video. I can't say I focused on make-up as I collected Barbie. I am more fashion-focused. Most of the dolls you showed in your video are so damn expensive. I had them on my eBay wish list but got fed up with the prices. Thanks to this video I may have to update my wish list again. LOL!! I hope you put out more videos like this because this was fun.
Awesome retrospective of the raccoon era dolls. Happy that I have most of these fabulous dolls. My favorite is the Blonds Barbie, It doesn't get better than her. Love your hair Jeffrey 😉
This was a fun video!!! I really love when Barbie goes dramatic in her styling, hair and makeup! My favorite makeup era is whatever they were doing with Barbie Basics back in 2009. Barbie Basics Model no 05 is my #1 when it comes to makeup. The bold red lip and ultra dramatic smokey eyeshadow, and her high ponytail... SHE KILLED IT and I just bought her last night cause it is my bday next month and I was tired of waiting to find her for under $50 anyway I really like the makeup looks from that line. The Basics swimsuit line was incredible too!
Omg and the Zodiac Barbie dolls?!?! Almost forgot, but gosh their dramatic makeup was everything! I have one with Mbili face, medium brown hair and just amazing makeup, I look at her and honestly wish I could slay that hard!
LOVED this!! Now I understand why I love most of the dolls from these years!! Also thought you should have your mini dumpster fire standing by for the 🚨 😆
I have Aphrodite as well! They are gorgeous! I got them at a garage sale. I got them for a great deal, $40 for Aphrodite boxed and $15 for Medusa unboxed but she came with her box. The seller didn’t have the Athena sadly.
Love this topic! Barbies circa 2000-2009 are my favorite because of their beautiful faces. Enjoyed your sense of humor too, particularly amused by the rant about sellers thinking their holiday barbies are actually worth a ton of money when they are not the least bit rare or hard to find. Lol
My favorite girl from my collection when it comes to make-up is the Princess Stargazer doll from 2014 by Bob Mackie. She straight up looks like a drag queen.
Amazing video as always. I have probably told you this a million times but I love how “real” you are. I love that you get annoyed at the sirens 😆 because most people would edit that part out but you don’t and it’s GENIUS- your content is always top notch😊
Absolutely stunning Barbies the makeup 💄& fashion and after your review I wouldn’t be surprised if the price on those Barbies increase even more on eBay. 😂
Vitamin C! Back in the 80's I would have said Deedee. I remember those glam days with the racoon eyeshadow. Barbie had so much racoon eyeshadow she be working for Umbrella and living in Racoon City.
This is a cool video, enjoyed it! The model muse body looks pretty in clothes, but the actual articulation isn’t any better than the current fashionistas, and the plastic is light weight too. Yes, the early 2000 fashionistas with their articulation and glam makeup are so cool!
This video is making me fall in love with Barbie again. Ive been looking at eBay for some of these Barbies and came across Harley Davidson Ken. He is so funny I kinda want him. He has hair on his chest! 😆
i looved this video topic soo much it was so interesting to watch ! for my fav Barbie make up era i truly find it soo hard to choose. I'm not a Barbie expert by any means but one of my fav (and also one of the most underrated) Barbie faces is the Barbie secret spells Kayla doll. I just loooove her bright green slanted eyes she just looks so bitchy and fierce :3 loove her
Totally agree with everything you said . I don't like how large the current barbie heads are and the eyebrows on almost every barbie are super thick . Absolutely hate it! I do prefer the older fashionista articulation over the MTM bodies.
Mine would have to be the same as yours, the 2007- 2010 ish Smokey, raccoon, drag queen era! The Barbie x Mac and the Barbie Pink in Pantone dolls are probably two of my favorites in my collection. Current lusting over the Blonds Blonde Diamond doll, I want her so badly!
I have the 2009 Holiday Barbie in gold and pink gown and she is stunning! Her raccoon look feels like she should be wearing something a lot more edgy than the dress she's in. But she's gorgeous nonetheless. Another one I have with flawless makeup is Grand Entrance Barbie in blue. They gave her plum shadow and a darker lipstick and with the blue dress she is AH-MAZING!
My grail doll of course, Happening Hair Barbie era has to be my favorite face/makeup ..she was my first Barbie I ever picked instores .Happening Hair, Tye Dye, and Cool Blue Barbie 💙
I LOVE this video but it’s DAN GE ROUS because now I want half of these dolls. I found the MAC Barbie inside her box for $50 dollars on market place. She is definitely one of my favourites.
Ok but i talk about this doll nonstop and she was in that raccoon eye era- but the 2007 platinum label Barbie Deirdre of ulster doll. I need her. But the only listing I’ve been able to find is 1200 dollars and i cannot and i will not spend that much on a doll. But it makes me cry because i NEED to have this plastic woman. Her face is killer, her hair is glamour, her dress is stunning, she’s just everything i want in a doll.
It's hard for me to pick a favorite makeup era. The "raccoon" years were great though. Probably the last of Barbie's high glamour days. i like makeup on Barbie dolls that is versatile. Simple enough for a t-shirt and jeans, but glamorous enough be dressed up with a gown. For example: • 1979 Black Barbie (my fav) Her eye shadow pallet is dark umber and gold and she has burnt orange lips. • 1993 Kenya Barbie Faded green eye shadow, fire engine red lips. • 1981 Eskimo Barbie Pretty much a nude face with sharp eyeliner and coral lips. But she is gorgeous! • 1986 Vacation Sensation Barbie and 1982 Horse Lovin' Barbie These dolls have perfect Superstar screenings. Horse Lovin' Barbie has an extremely soft screening, very understated makeup: blue mascara, lavender eye shadow, reddish-pink lips and super thin/light brows. Probably my favorite blonde Barbie screening of all-time! Vacation Sensation is a little harsher and dated, but i have always been a sucker for blue eye shadow and red lip gloss. Evidently, i'm not all that exciting, but i really enjoyed this video. .. and man, that SHIRT!!
Totally agree. Amazing era (Raccoon or Panda) and I do not know where I was, in terms of doll collecting, but surely I was already born and I have had no clue about those until late....hahaha. I quite fancy model muse bodies. Indeed, I find them so elegant although their lack of movement . On the contrary, the "made to move ones" give such a variety of movement, which I do not reject at all, but, unfortunately, in a not so aesthetic robotic anatomical shape .
Have you see the Model of the Moment: Urban Hipster Nichelle? She has the raccoon eye make-up in white/grey. Another holy grail doll that I would have loved to collect, but I was far too young when she came out. She is like $200+ now and I just can’t, but would love to if I ever got rich.
The barbie in blue was likely designed Robert Best.The Hard Rock food was delicious 😋. This is a nostalgic vid to go down to I have a few of the dolls you displayed and some I didn't care for buying the fashion was 🔥🔥🔥 makes you wonder what happened mattle?If you take on 25 male doll collectors royal rumble style what would you outfit look like and your wrestling name be?
My holy grail Barbie is the Top Model Nichelle doll. I really want her, but I refuse to pay more that $60 for her so I’ll probably never get her. Really hope they release her face and skin tone in one of the new Barbie Looks series.
Oh i love that make Up too! I bought a buch of dolls and the Seller gift me with a nude racoon 2009 holliday omg she IS gorgeous!!! I gave her the Barbie extra fancy dress and OMG
I can’t believe mattel is still trying to pass playline Millie as a collector range doll… I love the Versace “Nightmare In Beige” Barbie. She looks perpetually unimpressed.
I'm soooo glad to be a 80's kid : we had the best esthetic and quality toys, ever...Poor kids of mid 90' and after...So sad for them. Their toys (especialy dolls) are cold and shity quality.
i miss when barbie did cool makeup looks 🥲 i'm so sad that barbie fully skipped the 2016 instagram makeup era. I feel like makeup and creative self-expression through fashion is bigger than ever and BARBIE of all brands is missing out 😭
the thing is barbie in 2000s wasn't afraid to be sexy I mean look at that make-up and cloths and looks. and now she's just being cute and pretty only takes a little baby steps to be sexy. that's sad. i want that edgy and sexy barbie era back.
“Barbara Millicent Roberts a fashion icon up until about 2010” What else is there to say? RIP Barbie’s glam
Truly, like Im not understanding her fear of glam as if she hasnt been doin that since the 60's but alas-
It’s quotable
this is exactly what I ike about your channel. everyone reviews the latest doll nowadays, but few talk about past dolls and trends. plus your delivery is entertaining AF. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! I’m happy it works
Past* but yes. I agree completely. 👍
8:35 its the AA version of Barbie of the year from 2007 when they used to release a special doll for each year
Oooo good to know
The 2009 holiday barbie was the first barbie I added to my collection...she is incredibly beautiful in person. The box, the quality, the dress, the face, the earrings, the experience. 500 dolls later she's one of my faves in my collection. Love this era.
I love that!
The 2009 holiday Barbie especially the AA version is pure perfection, I have 4 of them and still can’t get over her, the best thing is that I got all of the for really nice price.
Ugh I need to grab one
I have almost every doll on your list. Thank you for reminding me how amazing these dolls are and giving me the inspiration to get them out again. Now you can see why my annoyance with Mattel is so intense when this is the caliber I’m used to vs the stuff they are offering now
Right? They’ve showed us their potential for years so it’s weird when we don’t even see an inkling anymore.
1) I loved this video! You looked so happy talking about this topic. 2) I hate you a little bit because my life will now not be complete without the Jonathan Adler Barbie 3) I missed this era of Barbies - my kid was a baby doll girl...much to my sorrow. These racoon eye Barbies are awesome! Thanks again for the video!
Haha Jonathan gets us all eventually
This was a great time for Barbie. 3 of my favorites are the Diva collection. Red Hot, Gone Platinum, and All That Glitters have beautiful makeup. Their outfits are so good too! They are from around 2001/02. These are the dolls and quality I am missing. Today’s dolls just dont compare, makes me wanna scream lol. This was an awesome video!
2001 to like 2004 was such an iconic transition period for Barbie’s
I am totally with you on the raccoon eye dolls...they are my favorites and I seem to buy them the most! I currently have the MAC doll and the Pantone paint doll but really want Christabelle!!!!
That’s impressive
My favorite is also the the 2009 era, best screening ever. But I do have to give a shout out to the 2007 top model series, the screening, the outfits and attention to detail was outstanding. I love how the lines were blurred between play line and collector/signature. Oh and also Barbie basics, those girls had incredible makeup. The only thing that could’ve made both those lines better was the articulated model muse body.
I live that blend too like the Barbie basics dolls.
So I never knew I collected this era of Barbie until I saw this video 😂
These are some of the best ever, and I’m happy to have some in my collection and now I need more! Thank you for this, this video was great!
Haha happy to help! Go team
Great discussion topic. I didn't realize it, but you showed some of my favourite dolls, so I guess I really like the raccoon eyes as well. I think sometimes they go a little overboard (e.g. the blonde Generations of Dreams), but generally those eyes give the dolls more character than most modern Barbies.
In addition to most Barbies having less eye makeup now, something has also changed in the way they apply the eye colour. For example, some of the Looks dolls have an eye area that looks more flat, rather than the softer layers that older dolls.
However, I have some recent Holiday Barbies that have some nice eye makeup (e.g. the 2019 Shani sculpt and the 2021 Kira sculpt). Apparently some of the older molds like those have deeper eye indentations, so the eyes actually do have more depth, and maybe they use the older way of applying colour on them.
That’s the thing with modern dolls they are more about face than eyes. But I’ll tell you what a Millie sculpt wears makeup well.
I don't even collect Barbie but the way I need that Debbie Harry doll 😭
I think my favorite makeup era for dolls is best summed up by early Monster High and MGA's Bratzillaz dolls; so 2012-2014 or so? Like I remember the first time I saw the Scarily Ever After lineup for MH and just being blown away seeing makeup like that on playline dolls.
Also going to shout out RH series 3 for the few dolls produced at that time with thicker and more blunt shaped brows, I adore that look! Emi Vanda being the principal example, fabulous makeup overall.
Series 3 really outshined the first two they had their footing down at that point.
In reference to just before the 7 min mark - once the dumpster fire begins the fire trucks arrive 😝
Also, this video explains exactly why certain dolls instantly appeal to me
- any remnant of dark eye make-up on today's Barbie dolls gets me every time 😅
Thanks for the epiphany, haha - great video!
Haha I think we all realized something today
Christabelle was a 2007 Barbie Collector Exclusive, retailed at $175. Also you can probably find a MAC Barbie on ebay with a decent box for around $100. Great video topic!
Also Christabelle was designed by Sharon Zuckerman, a Barbie Mattel designer.
Thank you for this info!
WOW!
I'm so glad you did this review!
I completely agree with you 100%!
Love that style of face paint and makeup, but I wasn't thrilled with the model muse body. Didn't mind it sometimes, it is interesting, but now more then ever they are using it to much.
I'm high five-ing you on this review. I love all your videos, but this one really hit the nail dead on the head.
FABULOUS review!
Thank you so much!
You come up with some of the best character descriptions for these dolls “gets mad everytime their kids come home” killed me 🤣🤣🤣
For me it’s the 2005- 2007 era. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the raccoon makeup and find it incredibly nostalgic but there were some dolls like the 2005 Holiday Angel, the Spring into Style Barbie, or the 2007 Angel Barbie that had some gorgeous makeup looks. I had the 2005 Angel Barbie as a kid (it was actually a First Communion present) and I was blown away with how gorgeous her makeup was. Like she’s an angel but still wants to rock a red lip, I love it 👍🏻💗💗
Okay yeah I remember that face/ style
Oh good god. First communion in 2005?! You're just a baby!!
I agree with you on almost everything! I go down the doll isle every single store I go to and I haven’t seen cute Barbie’s since I was in middle school (2005-6ish)
Yeah I rarely am stopped in the Barbie side of the aisle.
Model muse are actually my favourite body type and I usually change most of dolls into model muse body hahaha on the other hand I have tons of fashionista body, we would make a perfect exchange duo lol

Bill Greening did all of the Cher 2010 dolls, Pop Life Asst, Ladies of the 80’s (Joan Jett, Cyndi Lauper & Debbie Harry) and the 2010 Hello Kitty dolls.
Lynda Kyaw did the Goddess series (Medusa, Athena and Aphrodite), as well as the Dolls of the World, Porsche dolls, Pink Pantone doll, and I’m pretty sure that she worked on all the Blonds dolls
Well Sharon is a very welcomed icon to the hobby. Bill has always been and Lynda was out there doing god’s work.

Awesome retrospective of the raccoon era dolls. Happy that I have most of these fabulous dolls. My favorite is the Blonds Barbie, It doesn't get better than her. Love your hair Jeffrey 😉
The Blonds are iconic
Some of these are definitely on my wish list. I’ve wanted the Mac and Aphrodite Barbie for the longest lol
I want that Mac Doll for days.
I didn't know about those. They are so gorgeous. I would totally buy the hello kitty one.
Hello Kitty for the wind.
Literally all of your videos are iconic, no matter what doll thing your discussing!!
Hahahaha thank you!

The Barbie basics dolls were insane for the time and the price point. Such great dolls.
Theres something about a doll in a dark smoky eye that does it for me specially the rock theme barbies UGHHHH GORGEOUS
Right? Gives them some edge.
LOVED this!! Now I understand why I love most of the dolls from these years!! Also thought you should have your mini dumpster fire standing by for the 🚨 😆
Haha I do need one
I have Medusa. She is my favorite of my collection! Such a gorgeous doll!
I have Aphrodite as well! They are gorgeous! I got them at a garage sale. I got them for a great deal, $40 for Aphrodite boxed and $15 for Medusa unboxed but she came with her box. The seller didn’t have the Athena sadly.
Love this topic! Barbies circa 2000-2009 are my favorite because of their beautiful faces. Enjoyed your sense of humor too, particularly amused by the rant about sellers thinking their holiday barbies are actually worth a ton of money when they are not the least bit rare or hard to find. Lol
One of the things i love about barbie back than is that it wasnt up until like 2010 ☺️
Please make more Barbie trend videos, this was fantastic and fun and somehow really informative, I got introduced to so many dolls.
I need to think of some more trends
Thank you for this I love these glam styled Barbies you showcase here and I wish they would do something like this now that is affordable!
I would hope so too
My favorite girl from my collection when it comes to make-up is the Princess Stargazer doll from 2014 by Bob Mackie. She straight up looks like a drag queen.
This bob mackie dolls always went full out
Love your rant about holiday dolls, instant subscribe.
Haha good to know!
Amazing video as always. I have probably told you this a million times but I love how “real” you are. I love that you get annoyed at the sirens 😆 because most people would edit that part out but you don’t and it’s GENIUS- your content is always top notch😊
Absolutely stunning Barbies the makeup
💄& fashion and after your review I wouldn’t be surprised if the price on those Barbies increase even more on eBay. 😂
Haha I know I bought a few haha.
Vitamin C! Back in the 80's I would have said Deedee.
I remember those glam days with the racoon eyeshadow. Barbie had so much racoon eyeshadow she be working for Umbrella and living in Racoon City.
This is a cool video, enjoyed it! The model muse body looks pretty in clothes, but the actual articulation isn’t any better than the current fashionistas, and the plastic is light weight too. Yes, the early 2000 fashionistas with their articulation and glam makeup are so cool!
I like the solid all the way through model muses
Loved the video, saw some doll that got passed me. I have some , including both the Celebrate Disco Barbie’s .
Those two need more love.
This video is making me fall in love with Barbie again.
Ive been looking at eBay for some of these Barbies and came across Harley Davidson Ken. He is so funny I kinda want him. He has hair on his chest! 😆
Haha I love that who doesn’t want a motorcycle daddy ken?
i looved this video topic soo much it was so interesting to watch ! for my fav Barbie make up era i truly find it soo hard to choose. I'm not a Barbie expert by any means but one of my fav (and also one of the most underrated) Barbie faces is the Barbie secret spells Kayla doll. I just loooove her bright green slanted eyes she just looks so bitchy and fierce :3 loove her
Secret spells Kayla is THAT bitch 1000%
I agree. Smokey eye or “raccoon eye” Barbies are the best 🖤
So slay
We need a Avril Lavigne Barbie imagine if the 50th anniversary did an Avril Lavigne doll Would of served ❤
With all that eye makeup? Absolutely
Totally agree with everything you said . I don't like how large the current barbie heads are and the eyebrows on almost every barbie are super thick . Absolutely hate it! I do prefer the older fashionista articulation over the MTM bodies.
Yeah they’re a little more cartoony right now
Barbie Diamond Castle era and the other princess around that time are my favorite
Ooo that’s a good time
The fact that I have most of these dolls clearly shows 07-09 is the best Barbie era
So many hits from that era.
Mine would have to be the same as yours, the 2007- 2010 ish Smokey, raccoon, drag queen era! The Barbie x Mac and the Barbie Pink in Pantone dolls are probably two of my favorites in my collection. Current lusting over the Blonds Blonde Diamond doll, I want her so badly!
I want diamond so much
I have the 2008 Holiday Barbie. I took her hair down, washed it and redressed her. She’s gorgeous!!
I bet she does!
I have the 2009 Holiday Barbie in gold and pink gown and she is stunning! Her raccoon look feels like she should be wearing something a lot more edgy than the dress she's in. But she's gorgeous nonetheless. Another one I have with flawless makeup is Grand Entrance Barbie in blue. They gave her plum shadow and a darker lipstick and with the blue dress she is AH-MAZING!
Oooo that’s a good one.
My grail doll of course, Happening Hair Barbie era has to be my favorite face/makeup ..she was my first Barbie I ever picked instores .Happening Hair, Tye Dye, and Cool Blue Barbie 💙
A fantastic choice.
Barbie as Frank Sinatra has great smoky eye too, the Model of the Moment era is my favorite Barbie makeup era
Oooo I looked her up what she does
lmfao I love how we have so many of the same experiences, because I felt the top model thing in my BONES
It’s always a gae
old time with us.
I LOVE this video but it’s DAN GE ROUS because now I want half of these dolls. I found the MAC Barbie inside her box for $50 dollars on market place. She is definitely one of my favourites.
That’s impressive!
Ok but i talk about this doll nonstop and she was in that raccoon eye era- but the 2007 platinum label Barbie Deirdre of ulster doll. I need her. But the only listing I’ve been able to find is 1200 dollars and i cannot and i will not spend that much on a doll. But it makes me cry because i NEED to have this plastic woman. Her face is killer, her hair is glamour, her dress is stunning, she’s just everything i want in a doll.
best video ever, havent seen most of them kept my attention the whole time
Thank you!
It's hard for me to pick a favorite makeup era. The "raccoon" years were great though. Probably the last of Barbie's high glamour days. i like makeup on Barbie dolls that is versatile. Simple enough for a t-shirt and jeans, but glamorous enough be dressed up with a gown.
For example:
• 1979 Black Barbie (my fav)
Her eye shadow pallet is dark umber and gold and she has burnt orange lips.
• 1993 Kenya Barbie
Faded green eye shadow, fire engine red lips.
• 1981 Eskimo Barbie
Pretty much a nude face with sharp eyeliner and coral lips. But she is gorgeous!
• 1986 Vacation Sensation Barbie and 1982 Horse Lovin' Barbie
These dolls have perfect Superstar screenings. Horse Lovin' Barbie has an extremely soft screening, very understated makeup: blue mascara, lavender eye shadow, reddish-pink lips and super thin/light brows. Probably my favorite blonde Barbie screening of all-time!
Vacation Sensation is a little harsher and dated, but i have always been a sucker for blue eye shadow and red lip gloss.
Evidently, i'm not all that exciting, but i really enjoyed this video. .. and man, that SHIRT!!
Thank you for the info! Lots of good ones here.
@@JeffreySteinmanReviews Thanks for reading all of that.
Totally agree. Amazing era (Raccoon or Panda) and I do not know where I was, in terms of doll collecting, but surely I was already born and I have had no clue about those until late....hahaha. I quite fancy model muse bodies. Indeed, I find them so elegant although their lack of movement . On the contrary, the "made to move ones" give such a variety of movement, which I do not reject at all, but, unfortunately, in a not so aesthetic robotic anatomical shape .
Great show!
Haha thank you
Have you see the Model of the Moment: Urban Hipster Nichelle? She has the raccoon eye make-up in white/grey. Another holy grail doll that I would have loved to collect, but I was far too young when she came out. She is like $200+ now and I just can’t, but would love to if I ever got rich.
The barbie in blue was likely designed Robert Best.The Hard Rock food was delicious 😋. This is a nostalgic vid to go down to I have a few of the dolls you displayed and some I didn't care for buying the fashion was 🔥🔥🔥 makes you wonder what happened mattle?If you take on 25 male doll collectors royal rumble style what would you outfit look like and your wrestling name be?
I want that Cher doll! Lol.
Why did they stop these. All are gorge!
She turned back I got you babe
Love, love, love this video, also you're looking great.

Haha it was so worth it.
I lol'd when you said "if we do it waffle house style" 🤣😂
Know the enemy and thy terrain
My holy grail Barbie is the Top Model Nichelle doll. I really want her, but I refuse to pay more that $60 for her so I’ll probably never get her. Really hope they release her face and skin tone in one of the new Barbie Looks series.
i LOVE that shirt!!! 😍
Hahaha thank you so much.
I love the way you called smoky eye make raccoon lol
Right? Like I know what a smoky eye is but raccoon felt more natural.
Oh i love that make Up too! I bought a buch of dolls and the Seller gift me with a nude racoon 2009 holliday omg she IS gorgeous!!! I gave her the Barbie extra fancy dress and OMG
omg the pink holiday barbie abd Kelly set! ahh I remember wanting that it's soo pink

I love your videos you crack me up
Omg you used to live in Phoenix? I’m in Tempe!! I hate it here, it’s so fucking hot. Can’t wait to move back to Cali ugh
Haha yeah I migrated between Tempe and Scottsdale a lot depending on. Who has cheaper rent.
Great video. You're so funny. These raccoon Barbies:"Are you fucking kidding me?"
Haha I love a good raccoon eye
Ohh and thanks for the shoutout! ❤
Oh of course.
Oooh, I thrifted the Disco Barbie. That was a good day! I love Jonathan Adler anything.
YAS!! Niche or not, Love when you spill about B! 💖
OK, make-up era? DEF early 00s Y2K chromatic silver highlighter metallic make-up! haha Like the Dance 'n Flex girls have!
Those are excellent.
The sirens and fire trucks are for your dumpster fires. 🔥 Actin' like you don't know!
It’s very one brand.
Do you have any favorite channels? Just curious
I’m the worst I watch a ton of Pokémon content but rarely doll content haha
Barbie were so amazing! The holiday barbie dolls were so gorgeous.....what happened?
Mattel is just cheap.
Scarlet Macaw Barbie 2008 and The Pirate Barbie 2007. Spectacular.
Lmao!! please make more videos like this!
Check out Empress of the Aliens Barbie. She’s terrifying.
She really is and cool.
I can’t believe mattel is still trying to pass playline Millie as a collector range doll…
I love the Versace “Nightmare In Beige” Barbie. She looks perpetually unimpressed.
I’ve never heard of this one
@@JeffreySteinmanReviews she’s from 2004.
ugh mid-late 2000s barbies>>>
I'm soooo glad to be a 80's kid : we had the best esthetic and quality toys, ever...Poor kids of mid 90' and after...So sad for them. Their toys (especialy dolls) are cold and shity quality.
My favorite
So pretty right?
i miss when barbie did cool makeup looks 🥲 i'm so sad that barbie fully skipped the 2016 instagram makeup era. I feel like makeup and creative self-expression through fashion is bigger than ever and BARBIE of all brands is missing out 😭
Mac Barbie I see pop up on Mercari sometimes!! Around $100 ish
hi dear pal i love barbies
Me too
Raccoon Barbie all the way!!!
Forever and for always.
My eBay watchlist will never recover. Thank you 🙏
You know what I miss? Mattel not using glue inside Barbie heads.
Woof don’t we all
@@JeffreySteinmanReviews Your thoughts on the Barbie x Benito Santos Dia De Muertos doll?
@@yque4733 it looks really good and I’m assuming Mattel did more research than MGA did.
They haven't done that in a while, currently they melt the tips of the plastic inside tbe head
also I got the 2008 holiday barbie for $20 and have seen her for less than $40 most of the time
the thing is barbie in 2000s wasn't afraid to be sexy I mean look at that make-up and cloths and looks. and now she's just being cute and pretty only takes a little baby steps to be sexy. that's sad. i want that edgy and sexy barbie era back.
