Olivia (Jennifer Aniston) is always tight on money: she used to work as a school teacher but now she’s a maid and doesn’t earn much. When she finishes a sample tube of moisturiser, she goes through her bathroom drawer to see if there’s anything else she can use.

On the bathroom counter we can see a bottle of Bulgari Eau Parfumée au thé vert Extreme, a stronger version of the classic citrus green fragrance created by Jean-Claude Ellena and launched in 1992.

In the drawer there’s a Givenchy compact, probably containing pressed powder.

There are also two Lancôme products: one is a sample jar of Résolution D-Contraxol, the anti-age treatment Olivia is obsessed with; the other is a carded sample of Miracle, a fresh spicy fragrance created by Alberto Morillas and Harry Fremont and launched in 2000.

Jean Seberg (Kristen Stewart) is getting ready for a photoshoot in her beautiful Hollywood mansion. There are some beauty items on her vanity, two of which are by Avon.

The first is the dark red jar, which contains body lotion (in the film, the make-up artist puts it on Jean’s hands). As I’ve already pointed out, I think it’s the body lotion of Imari, whose packaging had this exact shade of red. The fragrance Imari and its body care line were originally launched in 1985, though, so this could be another example of historical inaccuracy.

The other Avon product is an atomiser with a funky black and white paisley pattern: it’s Patterns, a fragrance launched in 1969, in line with the time in which the film is set.

Thanks to Hillary, the curator of the Makeup Museum for the Avon Patterns id.
