From OPI to Glasshouse: 7 of the best Barbie beauty collabs you need to know about.

In case you've been living in another universe, Barbie is EVERYWHERE right now. And until we've scrambled into the cinema on July 21 — it's really all we care about.

The rise of Barbiecore is here, and it would be wild not to notice the endless stream of pink peeking through every corner of our lives, especially in the fashion and beauty world.

Because Barbie-branded collaborations have officially taken over.

In case you missed it, I'm absolutely obsessed with blow-dry brushes, and this is the limited-edition Barbie version that started it all. It gives me #richgirlhair, and is so easy and quick to use — it takes like 10 minutes. It seriously does the work of a blow dryer and hair styler in one. Major fan.

OPI Barbie Trio Nail Polish Gift Set, $44.95.

If you're not rocking pink nails right now, you're doing it wrong. Release your inner Barbiecore with OPI's cute new range, featuring shades like Welcome to Barbie Land, Bon Voyage to Reality and Hi Barbie! Nail Polish. This entire suite of nail colours is glossy and pretty and absolutely ooze Barbie (we can almost hear our inner child squeal with excitement).

Glasshouse Fragrances Barbie Dreamhouse™ Strawberry & Dream Soy Candle (Limited Edition), $60.

I mentioned this in last month's beauty round-up, because how can you not swoon over this sweet collab?! With notes of juicy berries, sugar, mint and a hint of plastic doll (omg), this limited edition candle sweeps you right back to the dreamy, fun, playfulness of childhood. It's sweet, fruity and the reusable glass jar is a Barbie collector's dream.

I think I... need this. Urgently. This special Zara x Barbie™ Mattel hair clip is the chic and subtle Barbie answer to jumping on the trend. It's an easy way in for all the gals out there who can't stand pink everything (sending our condolences to you during this difficult time). Love.
