Dream Besties Get Ready with Barbie, Mostly a Win
on July 25, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My little one has a few Dream Besties Barbie dolls, so I was really excited to be able to get the BARBIE® DREAM BESTIES™ GET READY WITH BARBIE™ Barbie® “Malibu"™ Doll and Accessories set to add to her toy chest. Overall, this one is a good addition, but there are some issues that stand out on this one. I really like that she comes with a full outfit, a dressing robe, and a pair of slippers, and tons of accessories. They all seem to be new so it’s a great addition to other dolls or would be great for a first Dream Bestie doll. It has several small pieces that could be easily lost, but the hair roller opens up and they can be stored inside (I LOVE that!). You get a lot of value for what’s in the box. There’s a few downsides with the set I got. The doll I got has uneven eyes. One side is noticeably bigger than the other, I haven’t seen that with other dolls we have from the line. The doll’s hair also came a bit messy in the box, but it does mean it’s ready for a makeover! The purple bow comes plastic tabbed to the doll’s head. The plastic tab caused a snag on the elastic. Also, the elastic is coming out at both sides. I don’t think the bow will hold up that well to a lot of play. A word of warning to parents, you’ll need to debox this doll for your kids. A lot of her accessories were on the tricky side to remove from the box and I struggled with it (that white necklace almost stayed in the box because I couldn’t get it out). I would recommend getting this set, it’s very cute, but I would suggest picking it out in person just so you can see what you’re getting. *Doll does not come with a stand*

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Barbie Dream Besties has quickly become my daughter’s favorite new Barbie. She loved dressing her up in a new outfit and giving her new hairstyles. Included were a robe, fun pink dress and shoes, hair color rollers, bows, makeup and cell phone. I loved how many accessories were included with this doll.

Cute and fun to style!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Barbie besties are absolutely gorgeous dolls. My child loves this Barbie dream bestie. She is able to get her ready and style her hair in counless different styles. There is so many accessories and yes some are small and can be lost easily. But i love that the hair rollers are a way to keep them organized and together.

A fun twist on Barbie dolls
on July 25, 2025

from Birmingham, AL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My girls (6 and 8) spent hours playing with this doll! They loved how they could dress her up, pamper her, color her hair, and add accessories. They colored her hair, brushed it out, and colored it again so many times!

Hair Chalk was disappointing
on July 25, 2025
Posted by: CeCeMom
from Pittsburgh, PA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The doll face very pretty with bright colors and outfits are cute! The sparkly pink dress was easy to get on and off. 6yr old daughter liked the doll and clothes but the hair was very poor quality and when trying to color hair with chalk hair kept falling out. The color on the hair was so light she was disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Perfect for a girly girl!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter was very excited to receive this doll set! Great appeal in the packaging and out. She thinks the hair chalk is very fun and likes how easy it is to pose the doll. The unique storage within the hair clips has been fun for her and nice for me to have a place to keep track of the little accessories.

This GRWM Barbie is a hit!
on July 25, 2025
Posted by: Barbie Core Mom
from Richmond, VA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Barbie Dream Bestie Malibu is absolutely adorable. This doll came with a load of accessories. My child’s favorite accessory was the hair chalk. It was a little finicky for little hands but with a little practice they were able to get it. The chalk requires reasonably firm pressure to be applied but has decent payoff and is not very messy. The bunny slippers were personally my favorite accessory. They are just too cute. Malibu has a precious face and 11 points of articulation. Her hips are a little wider than a classic Barbie, so she is not able to fit in some bottoms from the fashion packs. Her party dress is cute and completely hemmed. The robe is hemmed everywhere except the scalloped bottom. Her hair is long and soft, but does tend to easily tangle.It does brush out easily though, with very little shedding. This is great doll set and one of my child’s recent favorites. I highly recommend this set, and may even pick up one for my own Barbie collection.
