If you’re like us, you’ve probably wondered what everyday stuff famous people add to their carts — like electric toothbrush. We asked The Summer I Turned Pretty actress Rain Spencer about the comfortable shoes, coffee maker, and acne-fighting skin-care routine she can’t live without.

I have a couple of different pairs of Feit shoes, and I’ve never gotten more compliments on anything else in my life. The sneakers are really great. There are a couple that aren’t on their website right now, but I know they’re always adding new stuff. They’re ethical and handmade with love.

It feels like elevated street style, so it’s like you’re wearing sneakers, but it just brings this elevated feeling to it. They are very comfortable and they last — my Feit shoes have lasted years and they don’t look worn down at all.

I love them because they’re just casual to walk my dog or to wear with a long skirt or something. I just feel like black flip-flops are the thing right now for me. It has been so hot in L.A., and I want to wear really light clothing when it’s really hot. There’s something weirdly effortless about them that I really like. You put on those flip-flops with a designer bag — that’s hot to me.

I think I also like Rainbows because my name’s in there, to be honest with you. I’m like, these are my flip-flops. And I like the little rainbow on the tag. It’s not Pride Month now, but if it was, they have pride.

In the morning when I wake up and I’m making coffee, I like to throw on a really small Hanes ribbed tank top — one of the ones that are high on your neck — and some little shorts. I do a little meditation. I switch it up, but I feel the best when I’m wearing that little tank top around my house. I feel hot.

It’s actually kind of funny now that I’m clocking myself, I’m thinking about how I like to change immediately when I get out of bed. It’s like a change into my second pair of pajamas. I actually never realized that about myself until I told you that. Because when I’ve slept in something, I’m like, I need to get out of this immediately.

These are the shorts I put on with the tank top. But also under jeans — under baggy jeans is when I really like to wear those. That combo with a tight shirt.

I was just in New Zealand for a month and a half filming a movie called Big Girls Don’t Cry. They put me up in this beautiful apartment, which had one of these. I had never used one before and I loved everything about it. I just like that it’s stovetop, and I like the ritual of unscrewing the bottom and putting the coffee in and waiting.

For years I’ve ordered these candles. I always have one in my house. I don’t even remember how I found them, but I’m really loyal to them. They’re poured in California, 100 percent soy wax. I don’t even know what that means. I know it’s important, but have I researched it? No, but I like this candle a lot. It feels good — we’re going off vibes.

I genuinely love all of her products so much. I just chose the body butter because I had, truthfully, the most insane reaction to using it for the first time. I basically use anything that she makes — the shampoo, her bodywash is really good. All of it is so yummy. All the different scents smell amazing. The vanilla is great. There’s this fig scent too that’s really yummy. But yeah, I like all of ’em.

I use it after every shower I take. I just spray it around and brush out my hair and it makes a difference. I use it and then I go to bed and I wake up and sometimes my hair looks exactly how I want it to look, so I can just put on my flip-flops and go. I don’t remember how I found it, but she’s been with me for a couple years. We have a great relationship. Also, it has an affirmation on the back, which I forgot until the other day when I looked at it and I was like, Okay, great reminder. It says, “I allow my life to flow with ease.”

As soon as the summer hits, it’s time to whip that out. I like the smell. It works. It feels good. I use that if I go to the beach or pool, because I feel protected but I also feel like I’m getting a tan. If I wear SPF 50, then I’m not tanning. It’s like SPF 15, so I feel like I have something on that is protecting me, but I’m also getting a tan. I don’t know if that’s right, I’m just going off vibes.

I’m sort of a new “makeup person.” I did not grow up wearing makeup or really know how to do it until I felt like I had to learn how to do it. I have this one and I’ve tried a couple other ones, but this one makes me feel the glowiest and it just feels really easy. There’s something about it, it’s the only one I’ve been using. And I just feel beautiful when I have that one on. Also, I think one friend who’s a makeup artist saw that and she was like, “That’s a really good one.” So there you go.

I just put a couple dots on my finger and then just press it into my face. I am all about, Can I get this done in 15 minutes? Can I feel good about what I’ve done in 15 minutes? And this product makes the cut. There actually is one shade that I use a lot, which is called Spicy. I really just use the tiniest amount. I don’t really like to feel like I have a lot of makeup on. It’s just easy, makes me feel beautiful, and I don’t have to really think about it.

When you’re filming, you are wearing so much heavy makeup for 12 to 16 hours a day, and by the time I was finished filming, my skin was starting to break out really bad. And so I asked my friend and she told me her routine, and this was part of it. I use it every day — morning and night. And my skin has completely cleared up in a way that makes me just feel better.

This is a very important part of the routine. This is before the moisturizer. You put it on and it definitely feels active. There’s a little tingle at first. Now I don’t really feel it anymore because I use it every day, but when I first applied it, I definitely felt it working on my skin. I just feel good. I don’t know — we’re going off feeling. Again, I’ve researched nothing, but it works.
