There’s a spray bottle of Avène thermal spring water and two Chanel lipsticks – Rouge Coco and Rouge Allure – on the dressing table of Maria Enders (Juliette Binoche).

Logan Lucky (2017)
Mellie Logan (Riley Keough) uses almost exclusively Tigi Bed Head products at the hair salon where she works. Starting from the farthest table to the nearest, I’ve spotted the following:
Two cans of Superstar Queen for a Day thickening spray, one on both tables
A round bottle of Small Talk energizing cream
A pump bottle of Dumb Blonde violet-toning shampoo, perfect for the Purple Lady (Rebecca Koon)
A bottle of Elasticate shampoo (or conditioner)
A can of Flexi Head strong flexible hold hairspray
A bottle of Straighten Out straightening cream
A bottle of Control Freak serum
A bottle of Maxxed-Out massive hold hairspray
The odd one out here is a pink can of Aqua Net super-hold hairspray
Even the pink hairdryer is by Tigi: it’s the Mind Blower hairdryer
Death on the Nile (1978)
I wonder if Monsieur Poirot (Peter Ustinov) noticed the massive Guerlain flacon montre sitting on a shelf in Linnet Ridgeway’s bathroom, while inspecting the heiress’ cabin on the Karnak steamer. Too bad the front sticker was scratched out: we will never know what cologne she used.
Using a flacon montre here is not 100% accurate: if we assume the novel is set before 1937 (year in which it was published), the choice is not accurate because this bottle was introduced on the same year. In any case, this is another example of “partial inconsistency:” this bottle was not available at the time in which the story was set, but it was at the time in which the film was shot.
Atomic Blonde (2017)
There’s a Dior Diorskin liquid foundation in Lorraine Broughton’s make-up drawer. This is clearly a historically inaccurate choice – the story is set in the Berlin in the late 1980s – but there’s an explanation: Charlize Theron, who plays the role of Lorraine, has been the testimonial for Dior J’Adore since 2004. Besides the foundation, other details (clothes and accessories, for example) are contemporary.
American Horror Story S07E11 (Great Again)
Ally Mayfair-Richards (Sarah Paulson) has gone through hell to save herself and her son from the white suprematist craze gripping U.S.A. Now she’s a senator, but her project to assert women’s power is not over. In the very last scene of the episode she’s getting ready to go out: the gold brush she uses to retouch her make-up is the rouge brush by Bésame Cosmetics.
Thanks to my friend Jennifer for the id.
20th Century Women (2016)
Julie (Elle Fanning) works as sales assistant at a mall. In the screencap above, some bottles of Healing Waters bubble bath in Blue Gardenia can be seen.
Ingrid Goes West (2017)
In this Instagram picture from Taylor Sloane’s account there are a spray bottle of Jao refresher and a box containing Marvis Aquatic Mint toothpaste.
Boogie Nights (1997)
There are three bottles of Oscar de la Renta Esprit de Parfum on Amber’s dressing table. This is likely to be a historically accurate choice: Oscar, the first Oscar de la Renta fragrance, was created by Jean-Louis Sieuzac and launched in 1977.
The Esprit de Parfum was launched in the 1980s, so it’s possible it was on the market in 1984, year in which the last scenes of the film are set.
Shirley Manson’s Dressing Room (2017)
I love dressing room portraits so much, especially when their protagonists are people I admire. This is certainly the case of Shirley Manson, frontwoman of Garbage. She took this selfie before performing at the Kaaboo Festival in San Diego last Semptember. Let’s see what’s on the table (from left to right).
There are several MAC products, the first of which is the palette Conceal and Correct.
Next, a Mitchum Clean Control deodorant stick.
On the left bottom corner there’s a MAC compact, possibly Mineralize Skinfinish powder.
The silver tube is Jao Goe Oil, a semisolid all-over body oil.
There are two pots of eyeshadow: the cobalt blue one is by MAC, the other is Tom Ford Cream and Powder eye colour in Midnight Sea.
All the brushes are by MAC.
The bullet lipstick is clearly a red shade by MAC. Lady Bug and Lady Danger are among her favourite shades.
The clear tube could be another MAC product – Brow Set brush-on gel.
There’s a Maybelline mascara, too – The Falsies Push Up Drama.
Last but not least, a Dior liquid foundation.
The Stepford Wives (1975)
There’s a bottle of Vaseline hair tonic in the Eberharts’ bathroom.
