As a serial romcom binge-watcher, I find ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ to be the ultimate comfort show. After all, what’s not to love about childhood friendships, a fated love triangle and a beach house where it all unfolds? And if you think you’ve outgrown these tropes, give it one episode and you’ll be fully invested in Belly Conklin’s questionable life choices, weighing up Jeremiah versus Conrad and plotting a Pinterest-perfect summer at Cousins Beach.
So, in honour of the show that’s been living rent-free in my head, I imagined what your favourite characters would actually carry in their bags. With everything from beauty must-haves to beyond-the-vanity picks, here’s the breakdown (and the clue to which character is secretly your spirit twin).
Laneige’s expertise in lip care shines through in this tinted serum that feels more like a treatment than makeup. The lightweight, serum-like texture absorbs quickly, flooding the lips with hydration while smoothing and softening their appearance. Peach Glaze leaves behind a soft, luminous tint that enhances the natural lip colour without masking it. Designed to improve the look of dryness and fine lines, it delivers a glossy K-beauty finish while keeping lips nourished, plump-looking and comfortable throughout the day.
If you’ve got remotely curly or wavy hair, scrunch-and-go needs to be your hair styling motto during your vacation. And this must-have by Ouai will leave your hair looking fresh and defined when you do that. Saturated with coconut, babassu, linseed and chia seed oils, it not only does that, but also moisturises, hydrates and strengthens strands—while also reducing frizz. To top it off, its fruity and floral notes make it smell divine.
