The other is Tom Ford Lips & Boys, a lipstick collection launched in 2014.

American Horror Story S07E05 (Holes)
Ally’s horrific “scratch and pierce” dream is set in her bathroom, so we get to see some of the products she uses.
The pink bottle contains Victoria’s Secret Jeweled Citrus body mist (now discontinued).
In the clear make-up tray I can see Clinique Almost lipstick in Black Honey and another discontinued item: a MAC lipstick in a silver bullet. The Canadian brand used this packaging (and not the classic black one) just during the late 1990s.
There’s a box of Coty Airspun face powder on the wooden shelf.
There are two Epicuren skincare products on the glass shelf by the washbasin – the Enzyme Concentrate vitamin protein complex and the Gel Plus enzyme protein gel in the pump bottle.
Thanks to my friend Jennifer for the body mist id.
American Horror Story S07E02 (Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark)
There are a Louis Vuitton perfume box and a tin of Smith’s Rosebud Salve on the dressing table in Ally and Ivy’s bedroom.
Top of the Lake S02E05 (Who’s Your Daddy?)
When Robin visits Mary’s bedroom for the first time, several toiletries can be seen on a dresser.
In the picture above, a dispenser bottle of Michael Design Works Peacock hand and body lotion in Blue Lotus.
Robin holds a tube of BeneFit Inferno lip gloss, originally included in the kit The Rich is Back, created in collaboration with the British designer Matthew Williamson and launched in 2013.
There’s also a Manicare non-acetone nail polish remover.
Last, a Rexona deodorant.
Claws S01E02 (Funerary)
Uncle Daddy (Dean Norris) and Juanda (Dale Dickey) are getting ready to attend Roller’s funeral. She puts on some Chanel bronzer (or blush) on him.
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.
