Lagoona was my first Monster High doll. I just loved her look! There have been a number of Lagoona’s released since then, but unfortunately, not all of them have been as exciting as the first. Monster Exchange Lagoona, however, is adorable!

Monster Exchange Lagoona’s stand out feature is her wonderful, fantastic hair! She sports an amazing afro of blonde, tied down with teal highlights. This is what I call big hair!

Amazingly, it wasn’t completely flattened in the box. The promo images show her hair being in a slightly tighter circle. Her hair is looser than that, though, which works in her favor.
Lagoona
She is boxed wearing two hair accessories. The tall green accessory is not attached to her head. You can easily place it into her curls on your own. The black rose has stayed in very well.

It’s very easy to overdo Lagoona’s face paint. To me, she’s always looked best with more natural make up. This release sports a clean face with more natural looking make up. Her green eyes are surrounded by an iridescent sea green. Her lashes are painted shorter and thinner than many of the recent Monster High releases of late. Lagoona has bright green brows and she wears a pink lip color. The look is topped off with a smattering of freckles.

Equally as great is her outfit. I have passed on many Lagoona’s over the past few years and many times, it had to do with the outfits Lagoona is commonly given boring looking outfits. This outfit rocks. Her strapless dress is adorable. It features multiple fabrics– one with large pink polka dots, one with smaller black polka dots and one with tiny, pink stripes.
Lagoona’s Outfit
The skirt is asymmetrical, which I love! Lagoona wears a cropped black sweater featuring more polka dots. (I’m a huge fan of polka dots, so it’s no surprise I like this outfit!)
Lagoona’s Heels
Lagoona’s footwear is pretty basic. She wears gray heels (with no actual heel) decorated with a single pink rose. They’re cute shoes and they fit the outfit well.
Lagoona’s joints
Loose Limb
Lagoona’s limbs are, for the most part, tight. They hold poses well. Her elbow joints are a little looser than other Monster High dolls, though they don’t fall out of place. I feel like that happens a lot with the sea monster bodies.
Purse
This doll comes with a flimsy pink purse shaped like a shell. Honestly? The accessory is a let down. You can open it, which is great, but with active play, it’s going to break very quickly. Lagoona also comes with a journal, comb and stand.

Hands down, this is one of my favorite Lagoona’s and maybe one of new favorite Monster High dolls! Besides the flimsy purse, I love everything else about this doll.
