ponds_dryskincream_bornunicornThe dressing table of Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis) is very busy. I’ve spotted several Bed Head by TIGI products – Recharge shampoo in the hot pink bottle, Clean Up daily shampoo and In Check curl-defining cream (both from the Bed Head For Men line), plus MAC Face and Body foundation and a jar of Pond’s cold cream.

The iconic Christian Dior houndstooth perfume bottle appears on Martha’s hotel bathroom shelf while she’s in Rome with her father. The front label is not visible, so it’s impossible to tell what fragrance she wore.

diorellahoundstooth_bornunicornWe should add Diorella to my list of “suspects”, since the floral-chypre perfume created by Edmond Roudnitska was launched in 1970.

The pink stick on the left is Max Factor Pan Stik foundation.

Thanks to Amy in the comments for the Max Factor id.

At the Lancôme counter, a customer is trying one of the brand’s most famous fragrances, Trésor. Created by Sophia Grojsman and launched in 1990, it’s a warm floral-oriental perfume. Several bottles of body lotion and a jar of body cream are on display.

mehronjar_bornunicornThe black plastic jar where he keeps his combs is from another Mehron product. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find an exact picture of it, but I do believe it’s the Charred Ash powder.

Thanks to my friend Jennifer for the MAC lip conditioner id.
