In November 2016 Donatella Versace went to Dubai for the inauguration of Palazzo Versace. On Instagram she posted a picture of herself getting ready for the event.
Among haircare products and toiletries there’s a Diptyque Baies candle.

L’amore molesto (1995)
Delia uses L’Oreal Color Riche lipstick in red.
The Souvenir (2019)
There’s Ralph Lauren Polo in Julie’s bathroom. This aromatic fragrance, launched in 1978, was created by Carlos Benaim.
The First Wives Club (1996)
Elise Elliot (Dina Spybey) is a glamourous graduate who would later become an award-winning actress. On her busy dressing table there are some interesting items.
There’s a glass bottle of Cutex nail polish remover in front of the mirror.
The black and white atomiser with a Paisley pattern is Avon Patterns, a fragrance launched in 1969.
Reflected on the mirror, there’s also a bottle of Covergirl liquid foundation.
Last, we can see a spray can of Aqua Net hairspray.
Thanks to Amy in the comments for the Cutex and Covergirl ids.
An American Werewolf in London (1981)
There’s a tin bottle of Avon Timeless perfumed talc in Alex’s bathroom. The graphics on the packaging are the ones seen on the cardboard talc shaker above.
Kesha’s Raising Hell (2019)
The latest Kesha video is a fun one. The American singer plays a televangelist à la Dolly Parton, who’s unfortunately trapped into an abusive marriage with a horrible husband who doesn’t care about her and beats her up all the time. But she’ll soon know how to take her revenge on him. In the video, directed by Luke Gilford, there are two interesting scenes featuring beauty products.
In the screencap above, Kesha is in her dressing room; on her vanity there’s a can of L’Oreal Elnett Satin extra-strong hold hairspray.
But the most interesting moment is set in her house, where we can get a good look at her vanity.
The white fluted refillable atomiser is the super-romantic L’air du temps by Nina Ricci.
There’s also the eau de toilette version of Pasha de Cartier, a fresh spicy men’s fragrance created by Jacques Cavallier and launched in 1992. I like to think the televangelist – not her husband – wears it.
Such an eclectic perfume selection wouldn’t be such without a blast of white flowers! So here is Vanderbilt by Gloria Vanderbilt, the 1980s best seller created by Sophia Grojsman.
Another nod to the past is the aqua green tube of Clinique lipstick, a packaging now sadly discontinued.
Thanks to Marco Ortolano for telling me about this video and for the Vanderbilt id.
Modern Love S01E06 (So He Looked Like Dad. It Was Just Dinner, Right?)
There’s a pump bottle of Aesop Resurrection Aromatique hand wash in Peter’s bathroom.
Girl, Interrupted (1999)
There are several toiletries in the bathroom cabinet in Daisy’s apartment: they all belong to her dad. Among them, Andrew Jergens Martinique after-shave lotion and matching deodorant and Mennen Protein 29 conditioning hair groom.
National Lampoon’s European Vacation (1985)
In the second movie of the original trilogy, the Griswolds win a trip to Europe. Before leaving for London, Clark takes a video of his wife Ellen (Beverly D’Angelo) doing a dancing routine. The scene is set in their bathroom, so some beauty products and toiletries can be seen.
On the marble counter behind Ellen there’s a pump tube of Colgate toothpaste.
There’s also a bottle of Oil of Olay moisturizer.
From another angle, we can see a bottle of Johnson and Johnson’s baby powder.
Next to it, there’s a big jar of Nivea creme.
Baby S02E03 (Fantasmi)
There three small bottles of Kiehl’s lotion (including Creme de Corps) in Chiara’s bedroom.
There’s also a jar of Lush Snow Fairy body conditioner.
