Anatomie de l’enfer (2004)

Leave a comment

The Man (Rocco Siffredi) picks up a lipstick from the bathroom of the Woman – a scene that gives us a chance to see what’s on the shelf above the washbasin.

There’s a gorgeous golden refillable canister by Guerlain and a black glossy compact by Chanel. In both cases it’s impossible to know what fragrance/product they contained.

The red lipstick he takes from the shelf is from the fictional brand The Tools.

There’s also a bottle of Christian Dior nail polish, shown above in an ad from the spring 2000 collection starring Kristina Semenovskaya.

I am pretty sure the other nail polish bottle (the one with two golden bands on the stopper) is by Maybelline, but I couldn’t find any online evidence of it.

Daphne (2007)

The red nail polish that Gertrude (Janet McTeer) applies on her fingernails and on Daphne’s toenails is Divinora by Guerlain.

This is a historically inaccurate choice (the film is set in the 1940s, while the Divinora make-up line was launched in 1990s), but I understand why the film’s prop masters made it: there’s a certain vintage feel to this bottle that makes it realistic in a 1940s context.

The Substance (2024)

Leave a comment

On the top shelf in Elizabeth’s bathroom cabinet there’s Eve Lom Time Retreat radiance essence.

On the top shelf there are two Zoya nail polishes in pink/neutral shades; on the bottom shelf there’s another nail polish by the same brand in dark red.

On the bottom shelf there’s another Eve Lom product – a jar containing the rescue peel pads. Next to it there’s a bottle of Davines Melu hair shield.

Later in the film, when Sue opens the bathroom cabinet, we can see both products from the Goddess Cleansing Ritual duo by Charlotte Tilbury – the citrus oil radiance cleaner in the yellow tube and the purifying charcoal cleanser in the black tube.

L’Été Dernier (2023)

Mina (Clotilde Courau) is Anne’s sister. She’s a nail artist, too: the scene of this conversation between them takes place in her salon.

The nail polishes she uses are by two American brands – Color Club (old packaging, as we can see from the old logo printed on the bottles) and OPI.

The shade Mina has selected for Anne is a pale pink by OPI.

Priscilla (2023)

2 Comments

The first two products Priscilla takes from her beauty case are a jar of Noxzema skin cream and a bottle of Cutex nail polish in an orange/coral shade.

Next, there’s a bottle of Chanel No. 5, the legendary floral aldehyde eau de parfum created by Ernest Beaux and launched in 1921.

She also takes a compact containing pressed face powder and a marbled jar containing a cold cream (this is what is written on its lid). I can’t identify the compact but I am sure the cold-cream jar is just a prop.

The last items are two lipsticks – one in a dark green case, the other in a gold case.

There are several beauty products in Mia’s bathroom cabinet.

Another product of the same brand –  I Love My Armpits deodorant in Baby Powder – can be seen on the middle shelf.

On the same shelf there’s a bottle of Sinful Colors nail polish.

On the bottom shelf there’s a bottle of Hamadi Organics shea leave-in moisturizing styling cream.
