The protagonists’ reclusion starts with their grandmother banning “anything likely to pervent” them, including a tube of Maybelline The Colossal Volum’ Express mascara.

Twin Peaks S01E03 (Rest in Pain)
Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) compliments Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn) on her perfume. Even if no more is said about it, I’m pretty sure she got it at Horne’s perfume counter, the place where both Laura Palmer and Ronette Pulaski worked.
What perfume would Audrey wear? Things to bear in mind while you choose: the tv show is set in the late 1980s/early 1990s; Dale Cooper thinks it’s “incredible”. I think she would wear something feminine and seductive like Cacharel LouLou (a Jean Guichard creation launched in 1987) or a classic chypre like Guerlain Mitsouko.
Totò, Peppino e la… malafemmina (1956)
There’s a Guerlain flacon montre on the dressing table of the showgirl Marisa Florian (Dorian Gray). There’s no way to know what cologne the bottle contained: the disk label can’t be read and the black and white of the film doesn’t help. In any case, the choice is historically accurate: the bottle with the glass stopper was produced from 1936 to 1972.
Thanks to my friend Rocco for the id.

The lipstick that Stavo (Santiago Segura) steals from Brooke’s vanity table is Sisley Hydrating Long Lasting lipstick.
Stranger Things S01E03 (Holly, Jolly)
When Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) visits Nancy’s room, a pink bottle can be seen on her chest of drawers. A pink bottle with a human face painted on it.
It’s Avon Miss Lollypop cologne mist, which here appears sans white hat. This fragrance for girls was launched in 1967: according to the reviews I’ve read, it was a gourmand perfume, smelling like candy.

Scream S02E08 (Village of the Damned)
Brooke (Carlson Young) and Zoe (Kiana Ledé) are getting ready for the Lady of the Lake beauty pageant. Brooke, who’s doing Zoe’s make-up, is holding a MAC blush brush and Sisley Phyto-Blush Eclat compact.
When Zoe leaves with Noah, she gets drunk. On the counter in the background, some Hask products can be seen: the Argan Repairing Shine hair oil and Monoi Coconut Oil Nourishing Shine hair oil are in the Zuca trolley, while the Macadamia Oil moisturizing shampoo is sitting next to it.
FYI: in this scene Brooke was wearing Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick in Heathers, as pointed out by the show’s make-up artist Ashley Walsh.
