Sasha (Ali Wong) and Marcus (Randall Park) are getting ready to attend an event.
On the counter there are some travel-size bottles of L’Occitane products: the dark green bottles with pink labels are conditioner and shampoo from the Repairing line, while the third bottle on the right is the bath and shower gel from the Cherry Blossom line.
Sasha is applying L’Occitane shea butter intensive balm on her hands.
Bash Howard (Chris Lowell), heir to the Howard Foods business empire and producer of GLOW, is one of my favourite characters of the show, so a scene set in his bathroom was very much welcomed by yours truly, who couldn’t wait to take a look at his beauty products.
First on the left of the marble top, there’s a bottle of Ralph Lauren Polo, the aromatic fragrance created in 1978 by Carlos Benaim. No surprises here: Bash is a flamboyant ring announcer and commentator, but he’s very conservative when it comes to appearances. A relatively traditional eau de toilette like Polo suits his character.
His hairstyle is very distinctive and trendy, so it’s obvious there are lots of styling products. There are two bottles of Vitalis hair tonic and an array of L’Oreal Studio Line items (hairspray, two mousses and gel). The choice of using Studio Line is excellent: this hairstyling line was very popular in the 1980s! I liked using Gelling Curls.
The two hairsprays on Debbie’s dressing table are VO5 Crystal Clear and Aquanet Super Hold (old lettering).
The yellow jar near the hairspray cans is Skin Softener body lotion of Avon Timeless.
There’s a can of Aquanet unscented super-hold hairspray on Bobby’s dressing table. The silver-ish bottle on its left reminds me of Halston perfume, which would be really appropriate, since Bobby has just done a beautiful performance in drag as Liza Minnelli, one of the most famous Halstonettes.
There’s Ban roll-on deodorant in Sam’s bathroom.
Debbie (Betty Gilpin) keeps VO5 Crystal Clear hairspray and a jar of Noxzema skin cream on her dressing table.
The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling are having a minute of silence in their dressing room, just before their debut at the Fan-Tan Casino in Las Vegas: they are commemorating the explosion of the NASA space shuttle Challenger, which happened on January 28th, 1986.
On one of the tables in the room there’s a bottle of Clairol Final Net hairspray.
There’s Rayette Aquanet hairspray on Gwen Verdon’s dressing table. In this scene she’s holding a tube of Maybelline Great Lash mascara.
Thanks to my friend Kit for the id.
The scene where Carol (Angela Bassett) gets a drastic hair make-over thanks to Erin (Heidi Gardner) takes place at a real NYC’s Lower East Side salon, the Fringe. So it’s quite obvious to see the salon’s own haircare line (Fringe & Friends, launched in 2007) on display, along with the ubiquitous Mason & Pearson brush.
Helen (Felicity Huffman) retouches her make-up using a MAC compact as a mirror.
