There are several make-up products on Betty’s dresser.
The mascara with the hot pink cap is So Lashy! Blast Pro by Covergirl.
There are three liquid foundations by Covergirl: the one with the blue cap is Clean Matte, the one with the brown cap is Clean and the one with the red and white pump is Outlast Stay Luminous.
There’s also the red tube of Colorlicious lipstick in Seduce Red previously seen in S01E03.
Josie (Ashleigh Murray) and Valerie (Hayley Law) have a conversation about their future as a band before performing at a school show.
On Josie’s dressing table there are two nail polish bottles: the pink one is by Kleancolor.
We are given an excellent shot of the mascara she’s using: it’s So Lashy! Blast Pro by Covergirl.
The peachy pink blush that Cheryl puts on Betty is by MAC.
Heidi Bergman (Julia Roberts) is always focused on her job at the Homecoming Transitional Support Center, so it’s rare to see her in a different environment. It happens in this episode, when she visits the beauty aisles at a department store. Her attention is on a Lancôme display [1] and on one product in particular. The saleswoman (Perry Mattfeld) who assists Heidi says she “can’t live without” it. From Heidi’s question, we learn it’s a lip plumper.
The saleswoman dutifully lists its characteristics.
She holds a tube of it in her hands, so we know it’s L’Absolu Gloss Rôsy Plump lip plumper. Heidi will end up buying it, but soon she’ll wipe it away.
[1] This is not a coincidence: Julia Roberts has been a testimonial for the French brand since 2009.
There’s a can of Gillette Foamy shaving cream on the tub where Sandy Brooks (Jayne Mansfield) is taking a bath.
The British singer posted this picture on her Instagram account last October, while touring North America. On her dressing table there are a Diptyque candle (Figuier) and a hand-crafted candle holder with bakelite candle stand, the beautiful Photophore Côtes.
When Susie (Alex Borstein) goes to B. Altman to fetch Midge and take her to an evening gig, we can see a big factice bottle on a counter. Despite the hot pink liquid in it, the bottle is clearly recognizable: it’s Hermès Calèche sans the ribbon around the neck.
There are three products from Helena Rubinstein Men’s Club 52 line in the bathroom where M. the President (Gian Maria Volontè), is taking a bath, assisted by his wife Giacinta (Mariangela Melato). The two frosted glass bottles are after-shave lotions, while the black bottle on the left is a deodorant.
Monica (Claudia Pandolfi) is a character with a few contradictions: a former athlete now married to the Lebanese ambassador to Italy, she could live without working but she does. Unable to leave her athlete career behind, she works as physical education teacher at an exclusive Roman high school. She’s an adult who has lots of regrets, so in the tv show she slowly falls into the trap of believing she can make up for lost time.
Despite her simple style, she likes living luxuriously, as shown by some objects in her bathroom. On the white shelves near the washbasin we can see two perfume bottles.
The one topped by a piece of white canvas is a Creed fragrance. Unfortunately there’s no way to see what perfume it contains, but the glass splash flacon by the British perfume house is unmistakable.
There’s also a travel bottle by Guerlain, now used to contain men’s fragrances. The front label is not that clear, but I want to believe it’s dark green, which means the perfume is Vetiver, originally created by Jean-Paul Guerlain, launched in 1961 and re-launched in 2000.
It’s unclear whether this is Monica’s bathroom or if she shares it with her husband. In any case, I could see her wearing Vetiver, a perfume which appeals to her active and unconventional side.
In the screencaps above a bottle of Cerruti 1881 can be seen. The floral powdery perfume, launched in 1995, was created by Claire Cain.
