There’s a tube of Theodent toothpaste in Celeste Wright’s bathroom.

Feud S01E05 (And the Winner Is…)
Joan Crawford’s dressing table is quite busy. She’s getting ready for the Oscars 1963 and she picks a perfume bottle among many of them. The glass bottle with the yellow pump is from the Bésame Cosmetics Decades of Fragrance collection. I wonder what perfume Joan wore: the 1960s floral chypre or a fragrance inspired to a previous decade?
Feud S01E05 (And the Winner Is…)
Joan Crawford is getting a manicure for the Oscars 1963. The beautiful array of nail polishes in the screencap above includes shades by Cutex and Revlon.
The first bottle on the left is the Cutex nail polish Joan will opt for: the shade is Sterling Silver, which will match her Edith Head silver dress and Van Cleef and Arpels diamond jewellery.
The fluted bottle behind the manicurist’s hand is a nail polish by Avon.
The Revlon shades are mostly pinks and reds and have exotic names, like Persian Melon, Beach Peach and Frosted Sphinx Pink. The two bottles in the front contain a platinum nail polish and the top coat Seal Fast. These are bottles used by professionals, because their tall bottles differ from the long-handle ones which were on the market at the time.
Last but not least, there’s a bottle of Jewel Glaze (another top coat) on the right. Unfortunately, I couldn’t read the label to identify the brand.
Feud S01E05 (And the Winner Is…)
Backstage at the Oscars 1963, Olivia de Havilland (Catherine Zeta-Jones) retouches Bette Davis’ make-up. The lipstick she’s applying is by Bésame Cosmetics.
The travel lip brush she uses is by Bésame Cosmetics, too.
Mr Selfridge S02E02
Kitty Hawkins (Amy Beth Hayes) is mad at Frank Edwards (Samuel West): he tries to make up with her and visits the make-up counter at Selfridges. He asks for advice: he wants to give something special to someone special (her ;)). She plays along: she suggests “a new perfume” by Guerlain, which happens to be Mitsouko in the traditional flacon bouchon coeur. This is a historically accurate choice, because the perfume was created in 1919, around the time in which the tv show is set.
Other products she suggests are Yardley facial cream (in the dark green glass pot originally used for English Lavender brilliantine) and a Penhaligon’s soap.
Last but not least, she mentions Lady Primrose hand lotion: the beautiful fluted glass jar shown is actually used for the Royal Extract body cream.
What Women Want (2000)
The protagonist’s ex-wife, Gigi (Lauren Holly) loves perfumes and beauty products: her busy dressing table proves it.
There are Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizing lotion, Bulgari Eau Parfumée au The Vert cologne and body lotion, and a perfume by Maître Parfumeur et Gantier.
In another screencap, a bottle of Diorissimo (or Diorella) by Christian Dior and a perfume by Annick Goutal (even in this case, impossible to tell which one) can be seen.
Among her make-up items, there’s a MAC lipstick.
Ziegfeld Girl (1941)
Sheila Regan (Lana Turner) is taking a bubble bath. There’s a giant bottle of Caron Nuit de Noël beside her marble bath tub.
Toby Schmitz’s Perfume Choice (2017)
I love when actors share pictures of the fragrances they wear. Their choices are often unusual, especially when they select a fragrance for a specific role they’re playing. It’s the case of Toby Schmitz, who performed as Nikolai Triletsky in The Present, an adaptation of the play Platonov by Anton Čechov. Learning that he wore Oud Immortel by Byredo for this role came as a surprise: the 2010 eau de parfum has *prominent* notes of oud, pure wood, something appropriate for the pirate Jack Rackham, role Schmitz played on Black Sails. The actor pointed out that he wore another Byredo perfume in that case: the smoky and leathery Baudelaire.
The Love Witch (2016)
When Trish pays Elaine a visit but the witch is not home, she sits at her vanity table and uses some of her make-up products. Among them, there are a couple of Baked blushes by Milani.
The lipsticks on Elaine’s dresser are Color Riche by L’Oreal, mostly in bright colours, but there’s a frosty nude, too.
Girls S06E05 (Gummies)
There are a tube of Maybelline The Colossal Volum’ Express mascara and some Revlon nail polishes on the small white cabinet in Hannah’s bedroom.
