The black and white jar on Lori’s dressing table is the perfumed pressed body powder by Paloma Picasso. Now discontinued, this product was part of the line launched with the perfume in 1984.
On the other side of the table there’s a white bottle of Halston Classic perfume, created by Bernard Chant and launched in 1975. This all-white version was never available on the market, but Elsa Peretti designed it in pendant form, so I guess this was a bigger, decorative version of it.
Jeffrey Anderson (Kevin Kline) is a formerly famous tv actor who now works at the Opa Locka Playhouse in Florida, which also includes a messy and noisy restaurant. He’s performing as Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, but he’s disenchanted and sad, as shown by his dressing room.
On the table we can see a jar of Pond’s cold cream.
There’s a bottle of Oscar by Oscar de la Renta in Celeste’s house. This white floral fragrance, created by Jean-Louis Sieuzac and launched in 1977, was housed in a romantic bottle designed by Serge Mansau.
There’s a spray can of Tanya Hawaiian tanning oil in Doug Kenney’s bedroom in Hawaii.
I’ve got a thing for Marc Almond’s dressing rooms. The British singer is often on tour, and he frequently posts pictures of the make-up products he wears in concert. The one above was taken in June 2018, backstage at the Let’s Rock Bristol festival.
Starting from the left, there are NARS Soft Velvet loose powder and Dior Nude Air pressed face powder.
The silver tube topped by a ball is BeneFit 24-Hour Brow Setter clear brow gel. In a plastic sleeve there’s a face brush by EcoTools.
There are several products by Kiko – two silver compacts (which could contain foundation or pressed powder), an eyebrow filler in pencil form and two concealer compacts.
The silver compact near the Kiko compact is BeneFit Brow Zings, an eyebrow shaping kit. There’s also a tube of Becca Ever-Matte poreless priming perfector. Last, there’s a single eyeshadow in a dark brown shade by NARS.
There’s a jar of Pond’s dry skin cream on Jazmine Wintour’s dressing table.
There are several Pinaud Clubman products in the barber shop where Frank Slade (Al Pacino) gets a wet shave. The tall red bottle is Eau de Quinine hair tonic; the glass bottle with the green label is the after-shave lotion, and the green plastic bottle is the talcum powder.
There’s Guerlain Shalimar in the beautiful flacon chauve souris in Connie’s bedroom. Unusual choice for a 15-year-old girl, but I can see the fascination the whole Shalimar concept can have on a teenager.
Liza (Sutton Foster) is sitting in the make-up trailer on the set of the photoshoot for the Infinitely 21 advertising campaign. Among the several products, I’ve spotted Kérastase K Laque Couture hairspray and Ouai finishing créme.
There’s a quintessentially Italian beauty product on the vanity in Giulia’s bedroom: it’s Acqua distillata alle rose by Roberts, a classic rose water that’s available everywhere in Italy.
But there’s another item that has captured my attention: a Guerlain flacon montre.
The teal disk tells us it’s Mitsouko. Not your ordinary summer scent, but it’s not surprising: Giulia (Franca Valeri) is a chic/snobbish character, so summer can’t stop her from wearing impeccable outfits and French perfumes. I like the touch given by the prop master (a yellow pump) to customize the bottle.
Thanks to my friend Rocco for the ids.
