Stranger Things S01E01 (The Vanishing of Will Byers)
The yellow pump bottle in Jim Hopper’s bathroom is Revlon Jean Naté liquid soap. Before being bought by Revlon, the Jean Naté Company launched its perfume in 1935: according to Fragrantica, it includes “citrus, floral and spicy notes, such as lavender, jasmine, rose, carnation, lily of the valley, cedar, tonka bean, musk and sandalwood.”

There’s a box of Coty Airspun loose face powder on Brooke Maddox’s dressing table.
Madonna’s Bathroom
Some personal pictures of Madonna living in New York during her relationship with singer Dan Gilroy (from 1979 to 1981) have recently surfaced. They’re supposed to be part of a documentary which will include personal letters and “bedroom talk” recordings of the singer. In the picture above, she was putting some mascara on; the yellow tube is Revlon Natural Wonder.
Thanks to my friend Jennifer for the id.
Julie Newmar’s Dressing Table (2016)
This amazing picture of Julie Newmar was posted by hair stylist and make-up artist Louise Moon on her Instagram account. The iconic American actress, dancer and singer, who was the original Catwoman in the 1966 Batman tv show, was getting ready for a charity event.
There’s a bottle of Erno Laszlo Shake It tinted treatment on her dressing table, on the left. This is a dual-phase skin-tone evener product with a matte finish.
There’s also a tube of Duo eyelash glue, just behind the standing mirror.
Thanks to Ramón for the Laszlo id and Jennifer for the Duo one.
Yield to the Night (1956)
Mary Price Hilton (Diana Dors) first meets Jim Lancaster (Michael Craig) at the perfume shop where she works as a shop assistant. He falls in love with her perfume, Christmas Rose. It’s a fictitious perfume, but I’ve found out some brands have launched fragrances with the same name. Thinking of Mary’s dreamy and idealistic personality, her perfume could be a floral with warm spicy notes.
When the two meet at a club and dance, he comments again on her perfume, saying it’s “a wonderful smell.”
What real perfume do you think could be the fictitious Christmas Rose?
Pretty Little Liars S07E10 (The DArkest Knight)
Jenna Marshall (Tammin Sursok) is a pro at applying lipstick flawlessly [1], despite her blindness. Mona (Janel Parrish) meets her at the Radley and doesn’t waste time: she harshly criticises her choice, “that Jungle Red [2].” The lipstick Jenna is wearing actually look good on her: it’s Rimmel Moisture Renew in Diva Red or Red Alert (I can’t decide which one).
[1] A similar scene happened in S01E05 (Reality Bites Me): in that case, Jenna and Hanna were in the same elevator. Moreover, Mona pointing out that Jenna is wearing Jungle Red (which happens to be Alison’s favourite lipstick colour) could indicate she was the one who left the message on Spencer’s mirror in S01E04 (Can You Hear Me Now?).
[2] This shade has become paradigmatic of vivid blue red. First coined for the nail polish seen in The Women (1939) by George Cukor, it’s been turned into a real lipstick by François Nars.
