Just a Tease Mademoiselle Jolie - Review
The rest of the ladies from The Boudoir Collection take a very rocky ride to arrive to me. Agnes had multiple defects on her head that I had to send her back for replacement. At the same time, my shipping buddy messed up with the shipment and it took extra 3 weeks for Adele and Mlle. Jolie to arrive but thankfully they are here now, so let’s get the reviews rolling.
In every IT collection, there will be a girl (or two) that look better in real life than in her promo photos and in this case it is Just a Tease - Mademoiselle Jolie. I was not very excited when I see her reveal and to be honest I pre-ordered her just to secure Dasha. However, after seeing her IRL images online she became the doll I’m looking forward to arrive the most. And in hand, the girl is stunning. It’s all thanks to the very strong Isha sculpt that she has.
I’m still not a fan of the drawn on spider lashes and the rolled up eyes but the muted color palette with the blond hair look very fresh on her. She shares the same screening with Scene Stealer Isha. However, the girl doesn’t read Mlle. Jolie though; to me she looks like Luchia before the character has a face lift. It’s amazing how the Isha sculpt can transform into many different characters and look very different when the screenings change. I also notice that in Just a Tease, her head is very big, much bigger when putting her next to my other FR girls including a OOAK Isha that I have.
Her styling is not so well thought out IMO, a very intricate pair of earrings with a chunky bracelet with a black moody teddy on a doll that looks very fresh and feminine, they don’t go well with each others. The teddy while looking very detailed up close doesn’t read well when it’s on the doll. The black color basically hides everything. While other lingerie sets in The Boudoir Collection are elevated versions of their original ones, this one comparing to the original featured in Key Pieces Elyse sadly is a step down. My Mlle. Jolie is now rocking the lingerie set of Hauntingly Lovely Ayumi with different jewelries.
The most disappoint part about her is again the hair. It doesn’t make sense to me that in this age and time when there are a lot of new techniques used in doll making we still have to deal with crazy boxed hair. And the use of hairnet contributes nothing in protecting the style, it just leaves indent mark on top of the hair. I’m starting to get frustrated every time I unbox a doll with curly hair because it guarantees that I’ll have to spend several hours after that trying to fix the crazy hair that she comes with. I’m not much of a hair stylist who knows how to fix problem with boxed hair so my only solution would be taking a comb and fluff the whole thing up. Hopefully more thoughts will be put into the way the dolls are packaged so that curly dolls arrive with the hair style they are designed with.
All the negatives aside, Mlle. Jolie in Just a Tease is still a very beautiful doll with some re-styling, she’s one of the best Mlle. Jolie/Luchia 1.0 versions created.
