I'm not sure how this works, but I've had only one AG hairbrush ever. And I got it over 10 years ago at the same time I bought my first doll. It works fine, has forever. There are no bristles missing and the only real wear and tear is a few dings on the sides from so much use. Heck! I even have the original PC sticker still on the handle.

This bedding set was made for the 3-in-1 bed, but most pieces can be used in any other bedroom setting. This was the second set of bedding released to go with the 3-in-1 bed. While the set includes a few more pieces, such as light covers, I got this in a lot from CL, so I'll only review what I own. The blanket is not really so much a blanket as a double-sided satin quadrilateral of fabric. It is literally just that. There's no stuffing or layering. The stool cover is in the same green satin as on one side of the blanket. It goes over the stool and remains their until you want to take it off; there's no elastic and there's a rim of sequins. The actual tiara of the bedding is quite ghastly. It looms over the top embedded with glued-on "jewels". Behind it there are two bars attached and then those are attached to the weight that balances and keeps the tiara in place. The draperie is a sort of mesh tulle, thin and a deep magenta. It hangs through the loops of the bed and is very long so that it touches the ground on both sides of the bed. The small round pillow is satin and in a cylindrical shape in a solid pink. There were a few other small accessories that came with the set, but I can only attest for the perfume bottle and the powder container. Each are just small pieces of plasic, cute but nothing else.

Something about this outfit really caught my eye this holiday season, and I really wanted it. But, unless it went on sale- thank god it did- I wouldn't have bought it. I deemed the original price way to high for an outfit that includes nothing more than the basics. The coloring is well coordinated, I love how everything literally has that "frosty" feeling. Pictures seem to drown out the color of dolls when they are wearing it, but in real life it does not have that effect. While some have noted that the sweater doesn't have a good cut or fit, I beg to differ that on my PM #12, it fits great! I rather like the simplicity of it, makes for good matching with jeans, a common outfit I'd love my doll to wear more. I really appreciate that the skirt is stretchy. That is a big plus as there's no velcro to snag or bunch up the back. The shoes are cute and simple/modern, but I've noticed that one of the shoes that I have is shorter than the other. It's not that noticable, but then the toes of one foot are more pronounced when the shoe is on. The headband is adorable, and as it's in a neutral color, can match with so many things. And the ridiculously long tag? Well the scissors took care of that right out of the box.

This to me is the best bed AG has made so far. It's sturdy, has a simple style to match well with most things, and holds so much stuff! I'm literally appalled at how much of my collection fits in all the nooks and crannies. I have around 11 complete outfits hanging in the closet, with their respective shoes in the large drawer underneath. Currently I have Kit's typewriter on the closet top shelf, with the JLY skateboard, gardening bag (2002), and Cozy Plaid Boots on the bottom shelf, with a few random items on the drawer. On the shelf above bed I have all my doll size books and the large green box that comes with the typewriter and Kit's stack of newspapers. In the vanity section I have all their hair accessories in the drawer. And on the bottom there is the bowling ball bag (2002), lunch thermos (2002), and spa kit bag, with room for the stool to fit in with the door still being able to close. Closed Up  Open- Set Up  Closet  Vanity  Stool  Without Cover

Love this one! It looks great on Kaya and fits perfectly. It is very well made and I love how even the slightest movement emits a very pleasant ringing jingle. The colors are beautiful. Everything is easy to put on, except for the moccasins which you need to flip the foot over so as not to tie the fringe in the knots.

I got this at the AG Outlet in April 2010 and I think it was a pretty good set. I like using it during the spring only, however, so that limits its use- to me at least. I like the dress and how easily it fits PM dolls. I really like the shoes, they can even go over socks for an eccentric look. The hair clips, while not memorable, are useful, if they would only stay in the hair without slipping down.

In a small, very awesomely decorated metal tin, there is a whole lotta lip balm. These came in a couple different flavors, but I have the sour apple variety. For $4.50 I think it was a very good price, considering the amount that is in the tin- way more than average lip glosses and balms! The flavor was good and true to the claim that it was apple.

For a simple fragrance spray this is pretty great. The smell is present, but wearing it is not heavy and over-bearing. I have it in Apple Blossom and I wore it for quiet a few years, and I still have about half a bottle left! I think it was well worth the $8.

Eh, what can I say? It's lotion. I have such a love/hate relationship with any lotion depending on the season, and this one is no different. It smells very nice (Totally Tropical scent), but other than that nothing really distiguishes it from the generic aloe lotion from Walgreen's. Full-size bottle  Travel-size bottle

I went through a phase where my hair would stick up on top and I was obsessed with AG B&BW products. Combine the two and you have a wonderful thing. I went through two tubes of this during that time. It was that good. The smell was different from the lotions and was great! It really held hair well and didn't give it that greasy look.

As with all B&BW things, there were gift sets of products come the holidays. AG was no exception. They had a variety of gift sets. This set was wrapped in a snowflake cellophane and included a mini body wash, mini lotion, a wash poof, and an insert related to real beauty. This set was scent themed to Strawberries & Cream. Very nice as a trial set if not wanting to purchase full-size bottles. It didn't make a bad gift either.

As stated in the Care and Keeping of You, one should always comb wet hair, not brush it. So of course AG sells their own comb. A good buy at around $3, this comb was quality. It's a nice green with the AG name across the top. I still use it after 5 years.

One of my favourites from the AG B&BW line, the Talk to Me Lip Balm was great. It came in a variety of flavors and even had an SPF 15! It was in a nice little tube, with a cap that was half the length of the tube. I got the watermelon flavor and it was great.

When I was younger, I had no room for much furniture, much less the funds to actually buy some. This was one of the pieces I got and for well worth the original price. ($24?) The set is comprised of a sitting pillow, a flower rug, a journal, and a mini gel pen. It was all coordinated to go with the Flower Trundle Bed. The pillow is a nice pastel blue, with light green trim. On the side is a pocket that holds the journal and pen. While it looks great and is very well made, the doll does look somewhat awkward when sitting against it. However, I do think that it goes excellent with any bed and blanket set. I had it with the Jeweled Tiara bedding set before, and now have it perched atop the bunk beds with Kit's Quilt and Pillow set. The journal and gel pen are simple. The journal has "Dreams & Wishes" on the front in a silver font with stars, while the gel pen is a light green. The rug is actually my favourite piece, as it is a real rug, albeit a very small one.

After complaining that there were no actual winter coats for MyAGs, I bought this one, becasue I figured I'll be getting Kit someday. I love the classic lines of this coat. The style can transcend time. I love it for the 30's and I also let Molly use it. I evokes some Harry Potter-ness, perfect for Europe, at least the UK. I even have a coat like it, but it a light blue. It's AG's version of the pea coat. The buttons are fairly small however, and patience is needed when getting them on, but especially with that darn belt. It's hard to get the belt through the buckle.

Best historical accessory ever! Love this one. I'm not sure what prompted me to pick this up last summer, but I did and I'm so glad. I love all the detail put into it and how it relates to Kit's story. I mean there's even a picture of "The Schnoz"! The best part is that it dings when it gets to the end. I get a kick out of that.

I love this set for all the pieces and details. Plus, it's an actual accessory set. All the items are adorable and seem so true to Kit. I can just imagine her going around town preparing to write her article! I cut the photos apart so they would each be individual and then store them in the drawer of her typewriter box.

My first mini doll. I can't really see anything special other than she's in a LE outfit. The painted face creeps me out. I don't really like this other than the fact that she is LE. Definately one of my weaker AG purchases. I think I was just yearning for my full-size Samantha Christmas dress, which is in storage.

One of my best AG values so far! $5 during the summer sale got me a great set. I love all the little pieces and the colors of them. The menorah is heavy metal and I've had no trouble taking the candles in or out. The gift box is cute and can hold the candles, bracelet, velvet pouch with dreidel and gelt. The candles are perfect and are just like the ones my friend has, only his are in green, red, and purple. The bracelet I think is just fine. I love doll jewelry and this is no exception. The pouch is great because it can hold the dreidel and gelt, which are adorable. Except you can't spin the dreidel! The bottom is too smooth and wide for it to be a top.

Perfect for the summer and all the exploring my Molly does! The outfit is adorable, especially with the little tie. I do wish it came with the saddle shoes though.

I love this! It's a great set that actually includes pieces, and NOT just the dress and shoes. Great value and playability. It looks adorable and fits very well.

What a great outfit. My cousin actually got this at the outlet, had it for a while, then said I could have it. So sweet! I love the mint green of the dress and the story behind it that says Ms. Gilford made the dress. I saw it as a funny contrast to Molly's recital dress, which was said to be bought new. I love that the dress can trancend time periods; I had Petra go to Samantha's birthday party wearing this and she didn't look out of place at all. The clips seem basic. I had an issue with mine as the appliques were coming off the metal barette. I just glued them back on with tacky glue and they are fine. The shoes don't exactly fit PM feet perfectly- I've had to stretch the straps to close. But the dress fits all dolls great and looks great!

While I normally don't go for dance outfits, I just had to get this for my eventual Emily before it sold out. And I love it! The whole outfit is made very well and is adorable. The pieces are plentiful and match well. While my dolls don't wear this a whole lot, I think it can look adorable as a short dress, or maybe even some skating dress to pair with Molly's Skating Outfit.

Great value, super sturdy, easy to set up, and overall amazing. I love that they are so basic, as then they can be styled with different sheets or pillows, not to mention stuffed animals! Two dolls fit nicely; the best value for AG beds, as they're two beds for the price of one! Height reference  Two dolls laying down  I don't have a lid for Kirsten's Trunk, and I don't have enough floor space either. Elevated bunk beds!
