Among the skincare products that Amanda takes to England there is Chanel Précision Rectifiance Intense retexturizing line correcting fluid.



She loves Kiehl’s products: on the glass shelf we can see a tube of intensive treatment and moisturizer for dry or callused areas, a bottle of Creme de Corps body lotion and a cucumber bath and shower liquid body cleanser.

Behind the Kiehl’s products there’s a tube of Dermalogica Active Moist oil-free probiotic moisturizer.

I often experience a momentary feeling of wonder and surprise when different worlds I am interested in come — quite unexpectedly — together. This happened when I came across some pictures of K-Pop idol and global superstar Park Ji-min. After a long period of inactivity, today he recovered his Instagram account and posted what can be easily called a photodump. Among several (apparently candid) shots, these two caught my attention, because they feature a very secular and cheap product.


A Carmex moisturizing lip balm is not unusual or niche, yet I would have never expected to connect it to my favourite idol. I’m currently using the strawberry version: too bad I can’t twin with him, since he’s using the classic version.


Getting to know the fragrance worn by a fictional character is fascinating because it adds more depth to them. This is the case of Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons (Kristen Wiig), who longs to be part of Palm Springs’ high society by entering its most exclusive country club, the Palm Royale.
In this episode, she finds herself in the mysterious apartment of the “disgraced socialites”, and once she hears someone approaching, she hides into a nook in a wall.


When the country club manager (James Urbaniak) enters the apartment, he immediately detects a very precise fragrance, which he mentions: Tuvaché Jungle Gardenia.

Originally launched in 1933, it’s impressive how it was still loved in 1969, the year in which the TV show is set. In the ad above (dating back to 1966), Jungle Gardenia was marketed as the “favorite fragrance of the world’s most beautiful woman”. A stereotypical slogan, of course, but at the time it still worked.

There’s Chanel La Crème Main hand cream on Michelle’s bedside table.


Michelle (Emma Stone) is getting ready to film a video for her company. Her make-up artist applies Chanel Baume Essentiel multi-use glow stick on her.

When Michelle (Emma Stone) takes a shower in Teddy’s house, we can see a Dove Men +Care product. I do believe it’s a Thick and Strong 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, but I haven’t managed to find the exact picture online, so I guess this is an old packaging.

Among the several products in Michelle’s bathroom I can see:

The tall blue bottle with bronze stopper is Augustinus Bader The Cream Cleansing Gel.

Right in front of her there’s a tube of Chanel La Mousse camellia cleansing cream-to-foam.

On the right side of the sink there’s a pump bottle of Byredo hand wash. Too bad it’s impossible to read the exact name on the front of the bottle.


Lancôme Advanced Génifique youth activating concentrate can be seen reflected in the tri-fold mirror on Alma’s dressing table.
The selection of this prop is not surprising: Julia Roberts has been a brand ambassador since 2009.

Right in front of Alma (Julia Roberts) we can see a Mason Pearson boar bristle and nylon hair brush.


There’s a tube of Avène soothing eye contour cream on Alma’s bedside table.
