Sephora Eyeliner | Sephora

For the newer members who don't know - yes, there used to be a Sephora brand store on Stardoll. And we all hope the Stardoll team would burn in the firey fire of firey Hell when they removed it.
The graphics were great - I bet you can't even see much difference (by the way the eyeliner on the right is the real life version) and it was just simply amazing. Oh well, but I guess stardoll has been in a good mood - re-releasing old Hot Buys and such - maybe they'll bring Sephora back some day...

DKNY Geo Print Dress | DKNY

The more you know: The DKNY Geo Print Dress was part of the March 2008 10 Hot Buys and was released immediately with the brand tag 'DKNY Geo Print Dress' onto the DKNY brand store.

I couldn't find any pictures of the real version, it wasn't even on the runway show, which might mean stardoll either invented it or created it from some drafts of Donna Karan.

RIO Chicas Hot Buys Bag / Stardoll Girls Claire Bag | Jimmy Choo

Not sure of the story behind this bag, original HB spoiler tag says it was supposedly released on RIO Chicas, and it was an Hot Buys Bag so the brand should say RIO Chicas Hot Buys Bag, but as we found a picture of it saying it was from Stardoll Girls, and the name was Claire Bag, it points out to the possibility of having been re-released after it was an HB item, and thus it's not so Rare. BUT it's a Jimmy Choo bag, so, Rare, or not, you should grab hold of it!

Pretty in Pink Hot Buys Scarf / DKNY Hearts Print Scarf | DKNY

Just like the Scuba Dress, the DKNY Hearts Print Scarf was released with the August 2007 Hot Buys and then transferred to the DKNY Brand store when stardoll got the agreement with the brand. It's hard to know if there are any items with the Hot Buys brand tag, or if all tags were replaced with DKNY's. Anyways, you can see on the original HB spoiler tag in the picture, it was supposed to be released on Pretty in Pink - and I'll tag this post that way also, just in case someone holds posession of any existent HB branded scarf.

Pretty in Pink Hot Buys Dress / DKNY Scuba Dress | DKNY

The Scuba Dress. One of the most wanted DKNY items ever. It's just as rare as the other items from its collection, but many more want this one, perhaps because it's so pretty.
I, personally, never saw one Scuba Dress with a Hot Buys tag, but it was released first in August 2007 Hot Buys, and then, when Stardoll got an agreement with DKNY for the website, it was transferred to the Brand store. As you can see on the Hot Buys original brand tag above, it says Pretty in Pink, where it should be originally released. Maybe the tags were replaced when DKNY got out, but anyways, I'll tag this post with Pretty in Pink, just in case someone holds the one of a kind dress with the Hot Buys tag.

RIO Chicas Hot Buys Shoes | Emilio Pucci


The more you know: these shoes were re-released on June 2008 Hot Buys, but they're still pretty RARE!

Why it says 'Superstar Start Gift' is a great question.. because there wasn't many stardoll blogs back in 2007 it's hard to know what it means. But I guess we could assume it was a gift for the dolls that bough SS at the time? There are quite a few items with this, though.
BUT, although the tag doesn't say Hot Buys, don't let it fool you! These items are Hot Buys, and really valuable ones!

EDIT - The More You Know
