These Barbiecore Products Are Just As Fun & Pink As They Sound
Neutrals who?
It’s hard to miss the internet’s new favorite aesthetic: hot pink everything— aka Barbiecore. The trend was likely inspired by a confluence of events: fun colors are always welcomed when times are feeling dark, plus there was a steady stream of photos released of Margot Robbie as Barbie from Greta Gerwig's upcoming Barbie movie (out summer 2023). Celebs from Lizzo to Anne Hathaway to Heidi Klum have been spotted in the perky shade, and according to data from Pinterest and Klarna, searches for the Barbie-inspired color are way up. If you’ve been wanting to try it out for yourself, these Barbiecore products are for you.
What is Barbiecore?
When it comes to the Barbiecore trend, think pink (and blue and purple). Barbiecore simply involves embracing bright, mostly poppy pink bubblegum hues in everyday life with makeup, fashion, home decor, and whatever else you can get your hands on. One of the best things about color as trend is that there’s so many ways to get in on the fun. You could go big with a fully pink outfit, or start small with nails or a fuschia eyeliner, or even something off your body, like a phone case or blender. Once you try it, you may be surprised by how wearable this shade of pink really is (and how great you feel wearing it).
From jeans to sunglasses, scarves to lipsticks, come on Barbie, let’s go shopping because we’ve rounded up some fun Barbiecore products that will have you thinking pink.

2A Barbie phone case from Amazon
Get literal with the pink trend with a Barbie phone case that instantly turns your iPhone 12 or 12 Pro into Barbie’s brick phone. The level of detail here is next level: there’s a little antenna, cute buttons you can press, and even a “U up?” text from Ken. Plus, the silicone material on this Barbie phone case does a good job protecting the phone against the occasional drop.
3A pink nail polish from Habit
Dip your toes (or fingernails) into the Barbiecore trend with a pink nail polish. This non-toxic and vegan polish from Habit in shade “Dollhouse” has a slight shimmery finish and it reminds me of Barbie convertibles and those tiny plastic shoes.
4A head scarf from Asos
Barbie needs to keep her hair in check when she cruises in her magenta convertible (or needs to hide greasy hair). This cute pink head scarf from Asos is the perfect Barbiecore color and it has a subtle rose print. It’s 100% polyester and machine-washable.

This is actually part of a set of three holders which includes a large one in blue and a smaller one in green; together they look like three shiny jewels.
14A Barbie-approved NutriBullet
If you don’t have a blender, it just makes sense to get one this one in the perfect shade of pink because it’s so cute you’ll want to leave it on your counter (which will remind you to actually use it). This rosey pink nutribullet is part of the brand’s partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF)— this year nutribullet donated $50,000 to the cause.

You’ll feel like you live in Barbie’s dreamhouse with this fuschia rug from Ruggable. Great for homes with kids or pets, the rug detaches from the pad and is machine-washable. The price shown is for the 5x7 size, and if you already have a Ruggable pad, you can buy just the rug cover and save some money; plus with something this peppy and eye-catching you may want the option to swap for something else more muted sometimes.
The Barbiecore trend is likely here to stay for awhile (after all, the much-anticipated movie isn’t out until summer 2023). Whether you want to rock a full fuschia outfit or keep it tame with some rosey accessories, you can’t go wrong with these Barbie-inspired products.
