Lola (2024)

Leave a comment

Lola’s dressing table at the strip club where she works is full of make-up products and beauty tools.

Her lipstick is by MAC.

There’s also a shaker of Evyan White Shoulders talcum powder, which is a quite surprising choice. The perfume counterpart was in 1945: it includes notes of gardenia, jasmine, lily of the valley, orange flower and tuberose.

Another surprising choice is Rayette Aqua Net unscented hairspray. This is the vintage version, so I wonder why it appears in a film that is clearly set nowadays.

There are some interesting items on a marble counter on Mary-Jane’s bathroom.

The miniature bottle on the left is Chanel 8° 5 Lotion Fraiche.

The tall cardboard box on the right contains Manetti & Roberts Borotalco, probably the most iconic talcum powder made in Italy.

In front of it, another cardboard box contains Coty Airspun loose face powder.

The Day of the Jackal (1973)

2 Comments

The drugstore the Jackal (Edward Fox) visits is full of interesting bottles.

On the wall right behind the main counter there’s a poster advertising Victor Acqua di Selva. A factice bottle of the same fragrance can be seen on the counter.

In the glass cabinet behind the counter there’s a Christian Dior houndstooth bottle. Impossible to tell what fragrance it contained.

On the counter on the right there are so many bottles! Among them, the beautiful fluted flacon of Lucien Lelong Gardenia.

Next to it, the heart-shaped bottle of Guerlain Chamade.

The camera angle changes and more bottles are revealed.

On a glass shelf there’s a spray bottle of Chanel No. 5 eau de parfum.

Next to Chamade there’s a Guerlain flacon montre, but the colourful disk on white background was replaced with an odd label that looks absolutely wrong. I wonder what the prop masters were thinking…

On a glass shelf there’s Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass dusting powder.

In the mirrored cabinet behind the Jackal there are some bottles of Chanel eau de cologne and Lanvin Eau Arpège.

If you’re wondering what hairdye the Jackal buys, wonder no more: it’s Clairol Loving Care.

Most of the beauty products on Hae-ra’s vanity are by the French brand Sisley Paris.

Half-hidden among other bottles there’s Phyto-Blanc Le Concentré pure bright activating serum.

In the central part of the table there are three tubes of Phyto Lip Shine lipstick.

Next to the lipsticks there’s a pump bottle of Phyto Teint Éclat long-lasting fluid foundation.

Behind the fluid foundation there’s a bottle of Phyto–Blanc lightening toning lotion with botanical extracts.

Next there are two products for the eye area – the gentle eye and lip make-up remover and the eye contour mask.

On the far right side of the vanity there’s a tube of Eau de Campagne moisturizing body lotion.

Revolutionary Road (2008)

There’s a Guerlain flacon bouchon coeur on Milly’s dressing table.

Reading the front label is impossible, but I guess the bottle contains Mitsouko, one of the most popular creations of the Parisian maison, released in 1919.

On the left side of the table there’s a tin bottle of Kerkoff Djer Kiss talcum.

Thanks to signorina_misteriosa11 for submitting this post and to Caroline Louise for the talcum id.

Mila (Assya Da Silva) and her nanny Louise (Karin Viard) standing in the bathroom give us a chance to take a look at the busy shelf by the mirror.

The perfume bottle on the far left is Hermès Un Jardin après la Mousson, a warm spicy eau de toilette created by Jean-Claude Ellena and launched in 2008.

Several products are by Estée Lauder: the first is Sumptuous Extreme mascara.

The second is Double Wear Nude foundation.

Another brand Myriam (Mila’s mother) likes is La Roche-Posay. The white tube on the left is Hydreane Extra Riche thermal spring water cream.

The aqua jar with gold cap is another Estée Lauder product – DayWear Matte oil-control anti-oxidant moisture gel creme.

Moving to the right side of the shelf, we can see a bottle of Weleda toning lotion.

Next, a spray bottle of La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF30 sunscreen.

Last, the white tube is La Roche-Posay Lipikar anti-dryness body milk.

Right in the centre of the shelf there’s Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick. It’s a very personal item, but Louise doesn’t think twice before wearing it.

Thanks to my reader Sylvinka for submitting this post.

Helter Skelter (2012)

Ririko (Erika Sawajiri) is almost hitting rock bottom of her stellar career. The multiple cosmetic surgeries she’s had have disfigured her and there’s nothing she can do to turn back time. Her make-up artist is able to cover the bruises and spots on her skin but it’s a temporary solution.

Among the many beauty products on her dressing table, there’s the beautiful opaline pump bottle of Yves Saint Laurent Paris body lotion.

When the camera moves, a Chanel compact is visible, too.

There’s a long sequence in the film where we’re taken into the bedrooms of Miles Bron’s guests and we get to see what’s in their luggage. In the case of Duke Cody, his bathroom and toiletries are shown.

There’s Herban Cowboy Dusk spray deodorant by the washbasin, along with a cosmetic bag, the content of which is revealed a few moments later.

The black tube next to the Viagra box is Le Labo shaving cream.

There’s also a tube of Raw Elements face and body natural sunscreen.

Between a bottle of Durex lube and another box of Viagra there’s Burt’s Bees unscented lip balm.

Last, two products by Every Man Jack – a tube of hydrating brushless shave cream and deodorant in Crimson Oak.
