This is Treasure Hunt Barbie AA 2003 as far as I can tell.

Bought for almost $20 on aliexpress with a half rooted head of kanekalon: it was a gamble but i felt that heart twinge like the first time I saw Lounge Kitties Mbili Barbie. I soaked her in warm soapy water to remove the product without further damaging the paint but she’s missing half her gradient shimmer eyeshadow on one side.

I rerooted her with a dark brown and purple blend -still needs a parting. It’s a bit matchy-matchy but I didn’t want to go with jet black or full fantasy colour. I now have my fave Mbili sculpt barbies in various forms with Chandra replaced by fashionistas Blue Brocade and this gal sitting in for jazz baby or lounge kitties puma.

I'm pretty sure my two favorite Barbie sculpts are Steffie and Mbili/Grace.

When I was trying to pull out dolls to get rid of my "most liked pile" had about... 6 Mbili/Grace dolls. 😆

I do also like the Curvy Sculpt with the square jaw (the one they used on the daisy dress doll with pink hair - that doll specifically is another fave).
