Disclosure Day (2026)

Margaret (Emily Blunt) is getting ready for work by sitting at her dressing table, on which we can see several products.

The lip product she’s applying is Pat Mc Grath Labs Lip Fetish Divinyl lip shine. She will wear it throughout the film.

On the left side of the table there’s a bottle of Bobbi Brown Weightless Skin foundation.

On the right side of the table there are some Glossier products —Lash Slick mascara and Cloud Paint seamless cheek colour.

When the camera moves, other two products can be seen. The jar with black cap is Bobbi Brown hydrating face cream, and the bottle with black stopper (just behind the light ring stand) is a Byredo fragrance.

When Margaret reaches her workplace (she serves as a weather reporter and meteorologist for the Kansas City news station KCXE), we can see another bottle of Bobbi Brown liquid foundation on a dressing table, along with a Bobbi Brown compact powder blush.

A few moments back, when she unexpectedly starts talking Korean, we can see the make-up artists hand her a tube of the Pat McGrath lip shine seen at the beginning of the film.

Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)

Bottles of Lancôme cleanser and toner can be seen in Roberta’s bathroom. I’m not sure if the Bi-Facil makeup remover (blue liquid) and Tonique Confort rehydrating toner (pink liquid) were available in the 1980s, but these two bottles with grey caps and white lettering, which launched in the late 1960s, are definitely from Lancôme skincare line.

A few moments before, when Susan (Madonna) and Gary (Mark Blum) walk in the bathroom, we can see several bottles on a small tray on the right.

Among them, the romantic floral pattern which characterises the packaging of Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs, a delicate white floral fragrance created by Roger Pellegrino, Robert Gonnon, Paul Leger and Raymond Chaillan, and launched in 1978. I can see Susan wearing it — an element of romanticism in her unfulfilled suburban life.

This post was first published on July 20th, 2014, but I have decided to update it thanks to the help of Daniel Roldán, who spotted the bottle of Anaïs Anaïs. I have watched this film lots of times, yet this specific bottle has always evaded me.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026)

Lady GaGa is the main performer at the Runway event to be held at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan. There’s tension in the air: GaGa is performing only because Nigel Kipling (the magazine’s art director) threatened that she would never grace the cover of Runway again if she declined.

On the vanity there’s a bottle of Valentino Born in Roma eau de parfum, a woody vanilla fragrance created by Antoine Maisondieu, Guillaume Flavigny and Michel Girard, and launched in 2019.

On the left side of the vanity there’s also a bottle of Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech foundation.
