Glow S01E04 (The Dusty Spur)
One of the most interesting characters of this TV show is Sheila. Her gimmick is “the She-Wolf”, but after getting a glimpse of her backstory, we know it’s not really a gimmick: her feral appearance mirrors the way she feels inside. This episode opens with Sheila putting her She-Wolf persona on. There are several interesting products on her dressing table, starting with her perfume.
The silver bottle on the left is Cartier Pasha de Cartier (the Prestige Acier edition). I’m a bit disappointed by this choice: I appreciate it, because the bottle is spectacular, and because this aromatic woody fragrance by Jacques Cavallier seems just right for Sheila, but it’s historically inaccurate. As a matter of fact, Pasha was launched in 1992, one decade after the events told in the show.
The glossy black compact with a gold rose is a Lancôme product – face powder, foundation or an eyeshadow palette.
Last but not least, there’s a pump bottle of Dep hair gel. This product is still on the market.
The Handmaid’s Tale S01E08 (Jezebels)
The make-up kit Commander Waterford gives Offred (Elizabeth Moss) includes a MAC red lipstick.
Feud S01E03 (Mommie Dearest)
Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon) is performing on the set of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and is putting her lipstick on. See the square-edged stick? It’s a Besame Cosmetics lipstick again.
This is the real Davis in the lipstick scene from the film by Robert Aldrich.
Whitechapel S03E02
Lizzie’s flat is a mess, and her bathroom is in ghastly conditions. No wonder Joe literally rushes out of it (and out of the date with the girl).
Among the products by the washbasin, there are a bottle of Johnson’s Baby powder, two Extreme Style products by VO5 (Rework fibre putty and Freeze spray) and a tube of L’Oreal Glam Shine lipgloss. There’s a box of a Garnier hair dye, too.
On the washbasin there’s a tube of Macleans Fresh Mint toothpaste. Sorry for the grimy picture 😦
Feud S01E05 (And the Winner Is…)
A Bésame Cosmetics brightening face powder can be seen on Joan Crawford’s dressing table.
In the same scene, she also puts on a Bésame Cosmetics red lipstick.
Feud S01E07 (Abandoned)
There are two cans of Rayette Aquanet hairspray on Bette Davis’ dressing table, along with a box of Coty Air Spun loose face powder.
Big Little Lies S01E07 (You Get What You Need)
Renata Klein (Laura Dern) is getting ready to go to the Audrey Hepburn- and Elvis-themed trivia night fundraiser. There are several Clinique products on her vanity. Interesting to notice, some of them have been discontinued.
There are two tubes of Long Last lipstick [1] and one of Different lipstick. Many products with aqua green case are no longer on the market: the City Base powder foundation is among them.
There’s also a small bottle of clarifying lotion.
[1] The Different lipstick are now in the silver tube, too, so the ones on Renata’s table could be the new version of the lipstick that once had the aqua green case.
Addison Derringer (Ava Allan) is wearing Tarte Lipsurgence in Fearless.
