Coup de chance (2023)

Leave a comment

Fanny (Lou de Laâge) and her husband Jean (Melvil Poupaud) are getting ready to attend a party. There are several interesting skincare products and perfumes on her vanity.

On the far right side of the table there are two products by Officine Universelle Buly – the Double Pommade Concrète hand cream and a bottle of Huile Antique.

On the same side there’s Guerlain Habit Rouge, an amber woody fragrance by Jean-Paul Guerlain launched in 1965.

Before they leave, Jean gives his wife a present – a Cartier necklace. The camera moves to the left side of the table and the movement reveals more items.

The white bottle with gold stopper is Eau Triple by Officine Universelle Burly. As with the Huile Antique, it’s impossible to identify the fragrance because the same bottle is used to house several scents.

There are two skincare products by Guerlain, both from the Abeille Royale line. One is Double R – Renew and Repair – advanced serum, the other is the advanced youth watery oil.

The blue bottle with copper stopper is Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream.

Last but not least, we can see a bottle of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or, a multi-purpose dry oil that can be used on face, body and hair.

Christmas Evil (1980)

Leave a comment

There are three interesting bottles on Jackie’s vanity.

One is the eau de toilette version of Robert Piguet Fracas, created by Germaine Cellier and originally launched in 1948.

The second is Jean Desprez Bal à Versailles, an amber powdery fragrance launched in 1962.

The third is the refillable atomiser of Guerlain Shalimar, a fragrance by Jacques Guerlain launched in 1925.

There’s also an Erno Laszlo jar, possibly containing face powder or moisturizing cream.

Thanks to Alessandra for submitting this post and to Alindri for the Desprez id.

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.

Quiz Lady (2023)

Leave a comment

Jessica (Sandra Oh) turns the ordinary life of her sister Anne around when she moves in with her. Jessica doesn’t have a job, sleeps until late and is very serious about skincare.

Her beauty kit includes City Beauty line-smoothing hydro masks, a green jade roller, Anomaly dry shampoo and Kahi bounce balm.

This last product gets a special mention when the two sisters are in Philadelphia. They are sharing a hotel room and Jessica offers Anne the anti-wrinkle balm saying “it’s Korean”, which usually means innovation and quality.

The Killer (2023)

Leave a comment

The opening credits feature a very brief moment in which some beauty products and fragrances appear on screen.

The gloved hand of the Killer is holding a bottle of Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. But this is neither the eau de parfum nor the eau de toilette, because the name of the product is printed in black on white paper. I believe the prop masters used the bottle of the Eau de Parfum Intense (bottle and stopper made of clear glass) and replaced the neck sticker, which is in this case gold with white stripes, with the one from the Eau Privée version, which is white with gold stripes.

In the background we can see a bottle of Caudalie Vinoperfect concentrated brightening essence.

The bottle on the right is supposed to be part of the Replica series by Maison Margiela. The bottle is the same, but the front label has been replaced (a different font has been used for the word Replica, for example), even though it still bears the name of the original product.

The Glass House (2001)

Leave a comment

The cabinet in Ruby’s bathroom is pretty busy.

On the left there’s a box of Pond’s clear pore strips (the packaging in the film is older than the one in the picture above).

There’s also Pond’s deep pore foaming cleanser from the Clear Solutions line.

Her fragrance is not surprising at all – it’s Calvin Klein CK One. Created by Alberto Morillas and Harry Fremont and launched in 1994, this citrus aromatic scent became the symbol of a decade but also set a standard for a new type of fragrances.

The two bottles on the far right look like lip glosses but they are actually fragrances from the Bottled Emotion line by Bonne Bell. The scents are Lucky (blue bottle) and Shy (clear bottle).

Thanks to Alessandra for submitting this post and to Dipali for the Bonne Bell id.

The Glass House (2001)

Leave a comment

Social worker Nancy Ryan (Kathy Baker) visits the Glasses in their house to check if it’s a suitable place for two teenagers, Ruby and her brother Rhett, to live in. She opens the cabinet in Erin Glass’ bathroom and we can see some interesting products in it.

On the top shelf there are three bottles by Peter Thomas Roth. The blue one is the pre-treatment exfoliating cleanser; the pale blue and the pale pink bottles could contain another cleanser or/and a toning lotion.

Another product by the same brand can be seen on the bottom shelf, in a white jar with black lettering. Impossible to know exactly what it is because this packaging has been used for different products.

Earlier in the movie, the cabinet reveals a different story: the first time Erin (who’s a doctor) opens it, it’s packed with medicines. One of the few beauty products in it is Oil of Olay oil-free beauty fluid in a white bottle, a packaging that dates back to the early 1990s.
