Benigno Martín (Javier Cámara) is a personal nurse and caregiver: he looks after Alicia Roncero, a beautiful dancer he has been obsessed with even before she was in a coma. When he opens a cabinet in the girl’s hospital room to take a Pina Bausch’s autographed picture, we can see the products he uses on her.
Three of them are by Shiseido. The red drop-shaped bottle is Energizing Fragrance, a floral eau aromatique created by Claudette Belnavis and launched in 1999.
The tall bottles are from the Relaxing Fragrance line: the one on the left (with the shorter stopper) is the body lotion, while the one in the foreground is the fragrance. Hugely successful in the late 1990s (I used it myself for a while), it’s a floral green scent released in 1997.
There are some Chanel lipglosses on the left side of the cabinet, too.
And then a limited-edition bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier Classique, the powdery white floral masterpiece by Jacques Cavallier, first launched in 1993.
At a disco freestyle dancing competition a Swedish dancer is putting red lipstick on. To do so, she’s using the mirror of Urban Decay Naked 2 Basicseyeshadow palette.
Night Bloom [1] is the latest creature of the talented filmmaker and actress Coco Baudelle, a short film that has been selected by several festivals around the world, including the 2020 Venice Shorts. In a bit more than 5 minutes, we are taken into a dreamy world of white roses drenched in rain, echoes from Jennifer’s Body by Karyn Kusama, satin ribbons and a seemingly endless sleep, all accented by wonderful piano scores. Lucky for us, some scenes feature beauty products, which I’ve listed as follows.
The tall bottle with black cap on the right side of the shot is Chanel Hydra Beauty essence mist.
The plastic bottle with pink cap in the beauty case is Glossier Milky Oil make-up remover.
From the left to the right: the jar contains Aquaphor healing ointment
While at the supermarket with Djigui, Dounia (Oulaya Amamra) takes a lipstick out of a blister pack and puts it on. It’s not a product usually available at supermarkets, though: the red metallic case and the pink dots on it tell us it’s a BeneFit lip balm.
The lipstick that Rachel (Emily Blunt) uses is L’Oreal Color Riche in #752 Classic Wine. The name of this colour is tragically ironic, because this character is an alcoholic.
