What Women Want (2000)

whatwomenwant_bornunicorn (12)One of the most important moments of the film is the introduction of the “pink box”, a box containing beauty and personal care products that women usually use. Darcy McGuire (Helen Hunt) is a newly-appointed manager at the Chicago advertising company where the film is set: she presents her staff with pink boxes to stir their curiosity and encourage their creativity.

Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson) is a chauvinist avertising executive who doesn’t like Darcy and her attitude. He is very skeptical when it comes to the pink box, but he ends up with trying every product in it; among them, Maybelline Great Lash mascara.

Jeune & jolie (2013)

jeuneetjolie_bornunicornThere are many products on Isabelle’s bathroom shelf: all of them are French.

sanoflore-essence-merveilleuse_bornunicornThe blue bottle on the left is Sanoflore Essence Merveilleuse, a regenerating anti-age night concentrate.

larocheposay_unifiancefoundation_bornunicornThere’s La Roche-Posay Unifiance shine-free foundation.

nuxe_huileprodigieuseseche_bornunicornOne of the most popular French beauty products is Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse. Isabelle uses the sèche version, suitable on face, body and hair.
nominoe_oil_bornunicorn

There’s a bottle of Nominoë body oil.

chloeperfume_bornunicornThe perfume of choice is Chloé, a floral fragrance created by Amandine Marie and Michel Almairac and launched in 2008. Behind the perfume bottle there’s another Nuxe product in a small tube, but I haven’t been able to identify it. Judging from its content, it could be a travel-size tube or a sample of a product from the Rêve de Miel line.
nominoe_facecleanser_bornunicornLast but not least, another Nominoë product – a gentle foam face cleanser.

Thanks to Mari for the Sanoflore id.

Welcome to Me (2014)

welcometome_bornunicornThe dressing table at the tv studio where Alice Klieg (Kristen Wiig) has her Welcome to Me show is pretty busy.

freshsugarberry_bornunicornStarting from the left, we can see a tube of Fresh Sugar tinted lip treatment in Berry. This is the product that the make-up artist actually applies on Alice’s lips.

lorealcolorrichelipstick_bornunicornA gold tube of L’Oreal Color Riche lipstick. Judging from the shade sticker on the bottom of the tube, it should be a dark colour.

lorealglamshine_bornunicornThere’s also an open tube of L’Oreal Glam Shine lip gloss, in a nude/beige shade.

lorealoriginalvoluminousmascara_bornunicorn

In the back row, there’s a tube of L’Oreal Original Voluminous mascara.

The blue bottle with the white cap is another product by L’Oreal, Clean Artiste, an eye make-up remover.

The white bottle next to it is Tatcha pure one-step camellia cleansing oil.

Last but not least, there’s a pot with incorporated brush of L’Oreal True Match Naturale all-over mineral glow.

Thanks to Emily in the comments for the Tatcha id.
