The Crown S05E07 (No Woman’s Land)

I am disappointed by the selection of beauty products that the show’s prop masters have put on Lady D’s dressing table. In general, this vanity looks sad (which makes sense) and old (which really doesn’t). None of the products and perfumes she used has been featured here, not even Penhaligon’s Bluebell, one of her signature scents [1].

The lipstick in the gold case is by Clarins. It’s sitting on a round compact probably by Christian Dior.

The white box with a funky red pattern is an Avon nail polish. This was a weird decision: what is a product from the 1970s doing here? Did the prop masters know this was Lady Diana’s vanity? Or they believed it belonged to one of her old relatives?

There’s also Braun Independent cordless styler.

On the far right there’s a nice aqua box by Estee Lauder. Although probably not totally accurate, at least it seems plausible.

[1] This particular detail hurts the most. Why were other Penhaligon’s perfumes featured in Seasons 1 and 2 and not here, where one authentic touch was so much needed?

Thanks to Scentimentalist for the Braun, Clarins and Dior id.

The White Lotus S02E01 (Ciao)

Harper (Audrey Plaza) and her husband Ethan have lots of toiletries in their marble hotel bathroom in Taormina.

These are from Ethan’s toiletry bag – Kiehl’s Facial Fuel energizing moisture treatment and face wash, and Nivea Men Sensitive shave gel.

The blue pump bottle by Ortigia (courtesy of the hotel) contains Sandalo bath and shower gel.

The couple uses Colgate Max Fresh Cooling Crystals toothpaste.

Another Ortigia product in the bathroom is the Zagara room essence.

The third Ortigia product seen in this scene is the Sandalo liquid soap in a beautiful blue glass pump bottle.

Harper’s products include Clarins hydrating gentle foaming cleanser.

There are also a couple of MAC compacts.

Another Clarins product she uses is Double Serum Eye global age control concentrate.

There’s also a bottle of Erno Laszlo VTM micro-essence.

Just like Ethan, she has several Kiehl’s skincare products. The blue bottle contains Midnight Recovery Concentrate face oil.

The aqua blue jar contains another Clarins product – Hydra-Essentiel rich cream.

The two jars on the far right side of the marble counter are Kiehl’s products – Midnight Recovery omega-rich cloud cream and cilantro & orange extract pollutant defending masque.
