To Catch a Thief (1955)

tocatchathief_bornunicorn (1)When John Robie (Cary Grant) visits the hotel suite where Frances and her mother Jessie live, some beauty products can be seen on different dressing tables.

In the picture above, for example, there are a Revlon nail polish (see the elongated cap) and two fragrances by Lucien Lelong – Gardenia and Balalaika.

On another dressing table two versions of Lucien Lelong Balalaika: the spiral bottle contained the eau de parfum, while the squared one contained the eau de cologne.

Behind the spiral bottle of Balalaika there’s another Lelong fragrance – Sirocco.

From a different angle we can see there’s another object on the same table: a coffret containing Revlon nail polishes.

Thanks to Bluebelle in the comments for the Sirocco id.

Dumplin’ (2018)

dumplin_bornunicornWill (Danielle MacDonald) is at loss after her aunt Lucy’s death and goes to one of her favourite places – a Dolly Parton-themed drag biker bar – to seek solace and inspiration. She would like to take part into the Miss Teen Bluebonnet pageant but she has doubts and doesn’t know what to do. She’ll find a mentor in Lee Wayne (Harold Perrineau), who performs as Rhea Ranged. Lee’s dressing room is a magical place where Will and her friends Hannah and Millie will learn about beauty and confidence.

There are many products on Lee’s dressing table, among which a bottle of ColorWOW Speed Dry heat-protectant blow-dry spray.

There’s also a small jar of Ben Nye translucent powder.

panteneprovextrastrongholdhairspray_bornunicornRosie Dickson (Jennifer Aniston) is a former beauty queen who’s still in the beauty pageant circuit: she’s a judge at the annual Miss Teen Bluebonnet Pageant. Her looks are extremely important and we can see it from the number of toiletries and beauty products sitting on her dressing table. Her elaborate updo, for example, needs support, and her product of choice is Pantene Pro-V extra strong hold hairspray.
