Last September Shirley Manson, Garbage’s frontwoman, posted this picture on her Facebook account. On her dressing table I’ve spotted Sephora Smoky Eyes palette, Dior Diorskin Nude liquid foundation, Color Wow One-Minute Transformation styling cream, Illamasqua compact, Laura Mercier compact and invisible loose setting powder, Dior compact, MAC lip liner, Wet n Wild eyeshadow palette in #334 I’m Getting Sunburned and Christopher Kane for NARS compact.
There are two L’Oreal products on Regan’s dressing table: True Match Lumi liquid foundation and Infallible Le Rouge lipstick.
Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox) uses Clinique pressed powder in the trademark green marbled compact.
One of the objects owned by Alex that Danny (Ben Whishaw) burns in the fire on the beach is Geo F. Trumper’s hard shaving soap in a hand-turned wooden bowl. I couldn’t see the label on the lid, so I can’t tell exactly which soap it is. I can see Alex using the Sandalwood or the Extract of Limes ones.
Coty Airspun face powder.
There are bottles of Geo. F. Trumper Eucris hairdressing and Eau de Quinine in Margaret Thatcher’s bathroom cabinet.
There’s a bottle of Clarins Le Vernis Multi-Eclat red nail polish on Vic’s living room table. Clarins nail polishes had this bottle with the white and gold cap all through the 1990s.
The flashback scene, set in 1984, explaining the metamorphosis of the medical sales representative Nick Pryor (Denis O’Hare) into Liz Taylor is the center of the episode. The Countess (Lady GaGa) doesn’t turn Nick into a vampire, but convinces him to embrace his real self. “You smell like a woman,” she says and he’s not convinced yet: “It’s Paco Rabanne”, he replies, thus stressing the fact that he still clinging to the idea of himself as a man.
The perfume Nick wears is classic men’s fragrance, an aromatic fougère created by Jean Martel and launched in 1973. According to Fragrantica, its top notes are rosemary, clary sage and brazilian rosewood; middle notes are tonka bean, lavender and geranium; base notes are honey, amber, musk and oakmoss.
