There are lots of Bourjois products at the cosmetics counter. The beautiful round pots made of paper in pastel colours are from the Ashes of series, which included several lines in several scents: rose, lily, violet, carnation, wall flower, lavender, gardenia, sandal, heliotrope, mimosa/muguet, jasmine/iris.

According to Grace Hummel, Ashes of Roses, created by Ernest Beaux, was first launched in France in 1909, in the USA in 1913 and in England in 1923. As for the graphics, they featured “a slender vase with a single flower,” which was “typical of the Paul Iribe drawings from 1910.”

Each line included perfume and eau de cologne, face powder (loose and compact), vanishing cream, lipstick, bath powder and crystals, talc powder and soap.

Bourjois paid homage to its own past in 2010, when the Vintage collection was released. It included 5 eyeshadows and 3 blushes (Ashes of Carnations in Lilas d’or, Ashes of Roses in Rose Frisson and Ashes of Wall Flower in Rose d’or) in the trademark little round pots.

The Path S01E06 (Breaking and Entering)

1 May 2016 Born Unicorn Leave a comment

Sara Lane (Michelle Monaghan) decides to visit her estranged sister Tessa when she’s not at home. She goes through the rooms of her beautiful New York apartment, bedroom included. On a dresser we get a very close view of some beauty products.

The lip pencil is Bite Beauty High Pigment. I’m a bit on the fence when it comes to the exact shade. It could be Pomegranate, Cranberry or even Quince. The white nail polish is Orly Color Blast in Snow Queen from the Frozen collection. Last but not least, there’s a bottle of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse multi-purpose dry oil, made of macadamia, hazelnut, borage, almond, camellia and St. John’s wort oils.

Sara is so fascinated by her sister’s lifestyle that she puts her lip colour on. Later, after visiting the bathroom and seeing all the anti-depressants her sister takes, she will change her mind.

Thanks to AllLacqueredUp‘s Michelle, Amber and VampyVarnish‘s Kelly for helping me with the nail polish id.

There are several make-up items in Emily’s bag: a Chanel lipstick (it could be the Rouge Coco or the Rouge Coco Shine, since the two products have the same tube), a purple nail polish by OPI, L’Oreal Colour Riche Caresse lip colour and a Claire’s lipstick (with a slightly different packaging).
