Chanson douce (2019)

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.

Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022)

When Bee washes herself up, we can see a couple of Glossier products in the bathroom.

The first is a bottle of You, a floral powdery fragrance created by Dora Baghriche and Frank Voelkl and launched in 2017.

The second is a tube of Cloud Paint seamless cheek colour, possibly in Spark, a bright poppy shade.

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.

Lasciarsi un giorno a Roma (2021)

There are only products by Sisley Paris on Zoe’s dressing table.

The tall bottle with black cap on the far left is Eau Efficace gentle make-up remover.

There are three bottles of Phyto-Teint Ultra Éclat liquid foundation.

There’s a tube of Le Phyto Rouge lipstick on the white ceramic tray on the left.

There are also two jars of Phyto-Poudre Libre loose powder.

There are two bottles of Phyto-Teint Expert liquid foundation.

The white tube with silver cap is Instant Éclat instant glow primer.

On the right side of the table there’s a pump bottle of Émulsion Écologique moisturiser.

Last, the tall bottle with white stopper is the grapefruit toning lotion.

In the middle of the table there are several Phyto-Lip Twist Mat lip colours in pencil form. Zoe (Marta Nieto) uses one of them later in the film.

Sage femme (2017)

Béatrice (Catherine Deneuve) has a very interesting selection of fragrances and beauty products on her bathroom glass shelf.

On the far left there’s a bottle of Chanel No. 5 without stopper. This doesn’t come as a surprise: the French actress was the testimonial of the iconic fragrance in the 1970s.

Moving to the right, we can see a bottle of Chanel red nail polish.

There’s also a Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in its beautiful glossy black case with golden details.

Chanel No. 5 appears in its eau de cologne vintage version, too.

The purple spray bottle contains Sothys Elixir Nourissant Corps nourishing body elixir in Fleur de cerisier et Lotus.

Béatrice doesn’t use Chanel make-up and fragrances only: the white jar with black cap is from the Précision skincare line.

The tall bottle with glossy cap is Dior Diorskin liquid foundation.

Last but not least, on the far right we find Sothys Lotion Vitalité cleansing lotion for normal to combination skin.
