Glow S01E04 (The Dusty Spur)

glow_s01e04_bornunicorn (2)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.

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.

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 😦

Girls S06E09 (Goodbye Tour)

In Shoshanna’s bathroom there are Dove Oxygen Moisture shampoo and two hair conditioners by Lush – American Cream and Happy Happy Joy Joy.

There are also Nature’s Gate jojoba and sacred lotus revitalizing shampoo and Yes to Grapefruit spot-correcting body creme.

Last but not least, a tube of Queen Helene Aloe Vera natural facial scrub.

Girls S06E04 (Painful Evacuation)

Elijah (Andrew Rannells) is having a shower. There are bottles of TRESemmé Moisture Rich Luxurious conditioner and Axe Just Soft conditioner on the small window by the shower.

Moreover, there’s Tigi Bed Head for Men Clean Up shampoo or conditioner bottle on the bathtub.
