Stranger Things S05E02 (The Vanishing of Holly Wheeler)

Leave a comment

In a season filled with chaos and violence, Karen Wheeler (Cara Buono) is the only character who gives us a short moment of relax — nice music (ABBA’s Fernando is playing on the small stereo she keeps on the bathroom counter), a glass of white wine and a bubble bath.

On the same counter there’s a can of Aqua Net super-hold hairspray.

Half-hidden among other bottles, there’s a Guerlain flacon montre with a gold stopper. This is a historically accurate choice, because this specific bottle was introduced on the market in 1972. The front sticker is not visible, so it’s impossible to tell what fragrance it contains.

The product she generously pours into her bath tub is Avon Bubble Bath in Soft Pink.

Lee Radziwill (Calista Flockhart) is getting her hair done, while the Maysles brothers are filming her for their documentary [1].

Her hair stylist’s spray of choice is Adorn by Toni.

[1] The real documentary (A Visit with Truman Capote) doesn’t go behind the scenes of the Black and White Ball, but focuses on Truman Capote in the aftermath of the huge success of In Cold Blood.

Nine Perfect Strangers S01E06 (Motherlode)

There’s a pump bottle of Aesop Resurrection Aromatique hand wash in Francis’ bathroom.

The camera moves and reveals more products by the washbasin. All of them are by Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella.

The white bottle is a shampoo.

The white tube is the enzymatic exfoliating mask.

Last, the tall glass spray bottle contains a toning water. Judging from the writing on the label it could be rose water.

Thanks to my friend Rocco for submitting this post.

The Sopranos S05E05 (Irregular Around the Margins)

2 Comments

There are some interesting beauty products in Adriana and Christopher’s bathroom.

On the shelf behind the girl there’s a tall Jo Malone bottle. It’s unclear what product it is but, judging from the light content, it could be shampoo.

The moment in which Adriana (Drea De Matteo) opens a mirrored cabinet reveals more items.

The silver can with blue bands on the top shelf is Zirh Clean alpha-hydroxy face wash for men.

On the top shelf there’s a bottle of Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Healing lotion. I couldn’t find any exact pictures of it but you can see the packaging in a 2002 commercial.

The dark blue box sitting in the middle shelf is Boucheron Pour Homme.

There’s a NARS box, too. White packaging has usually been associated to the brand’s skincare line, but online there’s no evidence of the original products launched in 2002, so I don’t have any visual reference.

Thanks to Alessandra for submitting this post and thanks to Scentimentalist in the comments for the Zirh ID.

The Idol E05 (Jocelyn Forever)

Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp) is getting ready to go on stage for her much-anticipated comeback.

On her dressing table there’s a bottle of Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% vitamin C brightening serum.

The lip pencil she uses is Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat, possibly in Foxy Brown.

From a different angle we can see an Ouai hair conditioner, too.

When she finally meets Tedros (The Weekend), we can see a bottle of Etat Libre d’Orange Rien Intense Incense behind her. This amber woody fragrance was launched in 2014.

Thanks to Alessandra for submitting this post and to Jack Mason for the Etat Libre d’Orange id.

Kärlek & Anarki S01E01 (Hur allt började)

There are so many interesting skincare products on Sofie’s bathroom shelf, most of them by Scandinavian brands.

The white tube on the far left is from the Dermalogica Powerbright line. Unclear if it’s the moisturizer or the overnight cream.

The tall white and grey pump bottle is another Dermalogica product – the special cleansing gel.

The tall baby blue bottle is a product by the Swedish brand Estelle & Thild – the 3-in-1 cleansing foam.

The small glass bottle contains Olaplex No. 7 bonding oil.

The tall bottles with silver caps are other two products by Estelle & Thild. The first from the left is the firming anti-age cream, the second contains the night recovery anti-age cream.

Thanks to a different angle we can see other two Dermalogica products – the Solar Defense Booster SPF50 in the small bottle with grey cap, and the Daily Resurfacer exfoliating pouches in the metal jar.

There’s also Byredo Carrousel scented candle in the black jar.

The very last product I have identified is the refining exfoliating toner by the Swedish brand Björk & Berries.

Thanks to my reader Sylvinka for submitting this post.
