There’s Old Spice Pure Sport stick deodorant in McKay’s bathroom.


Ethan (Austin Abrams) is at Daniel’s Halloween party. In the bathroom where he’s just met Kat we can see a bottle of Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser. On the shelf above there’s a Nivea shaving foam.
Thanks to Emily in the comments for the Nivea id.
Debbie (Betty Gilpin) visits Bobby (Kevin Cahoon) in his dressing room because she’s got an offer: she wants to produce the annual AIDS fundraiser he’s organising.

His dressing table is quite busy: on it I’ve spotted Sure deodorant and Aquanet super-hold hairspray.
The silver ball-topped perfume bottle just under Debbie’s wrist is kind of obsessing me: my instinct says it’s by Avon, but I haven’t been able to find any evidence. Any ideas about it?
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.


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.
