Wine Country (2019)

winecountry_bornunicorn (1)winecountry_bornunicorn (2)origins_plantscriptioncleanser_bornunicornorigins_plantscriptionantiagingcream_bornunicornNaomi (Maya Rudolf) keeps two Origins products in the bathroom she shares with her friends: both are from the Plantscription line. The tube is the anti-age cleanser; the jar could be many things, because the same container has been used for different creams.colgatetoothpastemouthwash_bornunicorn.jpgThere’s also the 2-in-1 toothpaste and mouthwash by Colgate.

The two tiny bottles are travel-size products by Hask: the blue-cap one is the argan oil repairing conditioner, while the pink-cap one is the monoi coconut oil nourishing shampoo.

Thanks to Emily in the comments for the Hask id.

Lykke Li’s Late Night Feelings (2019)

There are two beauty products by the tub where the singer is taking a bath.

bijan_edt_women_bornunicorn

The perfume bottle is a factice of Bijan Women eau de toilette, first launched in 1986.

lanvinarpegebath_bornunicorn.jpgAs for the second bottle, I’m pretty sure it’s a vintage product by Lanvin. This round bottle with gold stopper usually housed perfumed talcum powder, body lotions and bath gels. I have found no evidence that a round matte white bottle was ever used, but the picture above can give us the hope it was.

Black Mirror S05E03 (Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too)

Catherine Ortiz (Susan Pourfar) is getting ready for the presentation of Ashley Eternal, a holographic project to replace her niece, the rockstar Ashley O. The lipstick she’s applying is L’Oreal Color Riche Shine in Hot Irl, which is kind of ironic, since the episode deals with the opposition between real and virtual.

Dumplin’ (2018)

dumplin_bornunicornWill (Danielle MacDonald) is at loss after her aunt Lucy’s death and goes to one of her favourite places – a Dolly Parton-themed drag biker bar – to seek solace and inspiration. She would like to take part into the Miss Teen Bluebonnet pageant but she has doubts and doesn’t know what to do. She’ll find a mentor in Lee Wayne (Harold Perrineau), who performs as Rhea Ranged. Lee’s dressing room is a magical place where Will and her friends Hannah and Millie will learn about beauty and confidence.

There are many products on Lee’s dressing table, among which a bottle of ColorWOW Speed Dry heat-protectant blow-dry spray.

There’s also a small jar of Ben Nye translucent powder.

panteneprovextrastrongholdhairspray_bornunicornRosie Dickson (Jennifer Aniston) is a former beauty queen who’s still in the beauty pageant circuit: she’s a judge at the annual Miss Teen Bluebonnet Pageant. Her looks are extremely important and we can see it from the number of toiletries and beauty products sitting on her dressing table. Her elaborate updo, for example, needs support, and her product of choice is Pantene Pro-V extra strong hold hairspray.
