Otherhood (2019)

 

 

 

The scene where Carol (Angela Bassett) gets a drastic hair make-over thanks to Erin (Heidi Gardner) takes place at a real NYC’s Lower East Side salon, the Fringe.  So it’s quite obvious to see the salon’s own haircare line (Fringe & Friends, launched in 2007) on display, along with the ubiquitous Mason & Pearson brush.

Dumplin’ (2018)

dumplin_bornunicornWill (Danielle MacDonald) is at loss after her aunt Lucy’s death and goes to one of her favourite places – a Dolly Parton-themed drag biker bar – to seek solace and inspiration. She would like to take part into the Miss Teen Bluebonnet pageant but she has doubts and doesn’t know what to do. She’ll find a mentor in Lee Wayne (Harold Perrineau), who performs as Rhea Ranged. Lee’s dressing room is a magical place where Will and her friends Hannah and Millie will learn about beauty and confidence.

There are many products on Lee’s dressing table, among which a bottle of ColorWOW Speed Dry heat-protectant blow-dry spray.

There’s also a small jar of Ben Nye translucent powder.

panteneprovextrastrongholdhairspray_bornunicornRosie Dickson (Jennifer Aniston) is a former beauty queen who’s still in the beauty pageant circuit: she’s a judge at the annual Miss Teen Bluebonnet Pageant. Her looks are extremely important and we can see it from the number of toiletries and beauty products sitting on her dressing table. Her elaborate updo, for example, needs support, and her product of choice is Pantene Pro-V extra strong hold hairspray.

Aus dem Nichts (2017)

Nadja has got several toiletries and perfume bottles on her vanity. Some bottles look decorative, but other items are real make-up and personal care products.

The plastic tube, for example, is Alessandro Hands!Up lifting hand cream.

Carne trémula (1997)

Clara (Angela Molina) is finally leaving her abusive husband Sancho, so she’s quickly packing some toiletries. In her bathroom there are many beauty products.

shiseidobenefiancelotion_bornunicornOn the glass shelf there are two Shiseido Benefiance products – a toner and a cleansing milk.

l_oreal-elnett-hairspray_bornunicornThere’s also L’Oreal Elnett Satin hairspray, which has an important function in this scene.

chanelcompact_bornunicornIn classic Almodóvar style, Chanel products make their appearance. In this case, there are a compact and a bottle of bi-phase make-up remover (or toner). There’s also a black box with gold band I haven’t been able to identify. It may be related to No. 5, but I have no idea what it can be.

talcoausonia_bornunicornUnder the glass shelf there’s a cardboard bottle of Ausonia talc.

guerlainchampselysees_bornunicornNext to the Chanel make-up remover there’s Guerlain Champs Elysées in a beautiful gold bottle designed by Robert Granai. The perfume, created by Jacques and Jean-Paul Guerlain, was launched in 1996.
