La Vie en Bleu Elise Jolie
I still call her Elise, Elyse looks weird to me.
Supermodel convention goers have an opportunity to preorder this exclusive Elise. She is the first doll in a special line of FRs celebrating Jason Wu's 10 years of fashion designing. I love this concept! Her price is $199 with $25 deposit. I think she has Japan skintone, but that is not confirmed. She is special because she will debut the "velvet touch" skin and all dolls in this line, including Elise, will wear miniature Jason Wu designs. Finally!!!! Happy :))))))
What I think about her? Overall, she looks very elegant and the dress is the work of art. However, I would not get her even if I had the opportunity. I am waiting for a doll with older design, I am not too much into minimalist approach of his later designs. It seems like she is too simple, like something is missing. When Elise was first introduced she had a suitcase, but I guess this one would not look nice with one. Just thinking what could be included to make her special. Maybe nice bracelet adorned with crystals, as the earrings are too simple. I love the shoes! Small roses on the dress provide nice details, very haute couture. The color of the dress is also very nice.
She features the new screening, it seems. I am not sure about it. The inner part of the eyes is round and kind of short, which makes the eyes round and further apart, and she does have particular sculpt of the nose. So, I am not sure I like it. I like it more when she has longer eyes. The lips are too small for my taste, too bad, because she looks amazing with bigger lips. However, the color palate is gorgeous. Zoom in and you will find out that she has brown eyeliner and cream eyeshadow. Lovely! I can not be certain, but it seems that the eyeshadow on the inner part of the eyes is airbrushed! Would love to see the return of airbrushed makeup! The eyebrows are nice.
The hairstyle is fine, I guess. But, if she had bangs, she would look much better IMO.
I wonder what the package will look like, I would like to see new boxes with magnet, like the older boxes had or something like that. Also, the velvet touch skin is not that new, Lovetones had it since last year, I am expecting my Roxy, so I will share my opinion about it. However, it is good to see improvements in this regard (and no, I do not consider decals as an improvement).
Overall, I think we got a solid start with this Elise. I bet she will look amazing in person. Also, I am very excited to see new dolls in this line. I think we all miss the FR2 quality designs and details and that gorgeous makeup. I do not mind the increase in price, but on the other hand, I will be very selective and will buy only perfect doll with perfect outfit and perfect makeup.
Final note, I am glad we didn't see Elise in convention line. That makes Key Pieces even more special. Agnes too! I have a feeling I chose the best from the convention line by preordering these two, without going to the convention! :)))) Also, it looks like this doll was meant to be the convention doll instead of Dasha. She goes well with centerpiece Dania. However, I have to say, I like Dasha much more than this one. She provides drama and looks much more regal and fierce than Elise. But, that is just my opinion.
PS: I just inspected some IRL, photos it seems the makeup is regular, not airbrushed.
