Windfall (2022)

There’s a lovely selection of Chanel perfumes, skincare and make-up on the Wife’s dressing table.

First on the left, an elegant jar of frosted glass with glossy black and gold cap containing the No. 5 body lotion.

Next, No. 5 eau de toilette in the tall bottle with black stopper. Not sure if this is a vintage splash bottle, the modern spray bottle or the spray refill for the atomiser.

There’s also a bottle of Hydra Beauty lotion.

The only item of make-up is Les Beiges Teint Belle Mine Naturelle healthy-glow foundation.

Last on the far right, a classic spray bottle of No. 5 eau de parfum.

Thanks to Jessica for first posting this on her Instagram account and for allowing me to share it.

Tall Girl (2019)

tallgirl_bornunicorn (1)When Jodi (Ava Michelle) decides to get a make-over to impress the exchange student Stig, she asks her beauty pageant-winning sister Harper (Sabrina Carpenter) to help her. Much to her dismay, her mother Helaine (Angela Kinsey) is part of the glam squad. The first place they go to is a MAC counter, where Helaine comes up with very specific requests.

On the other side of the spectrum there’s Crème Cup, a light blue pink shade, but Helaine thinks it’s not vampy enough.

maclipglass_bornunicorn.jpgFinally, when they go to a hairdresser, we can see Jodi holding two lipgloss tubes and wondering what’s the difference between a regular gloss and a lipglass, another MAC product which has a glass-like finish (hence the name). Obvious difference for any beauty lover, incomprehensible for someone who doesn’t care about make-up.
