Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead (1991)

The vanity Sue Ellen (Christina Applegate) sits at every morning to get ready to work is full of beauty products. Besides a huge bottle of Rochas Femme perfume, there are two haircare products by Tresemmé with black packaging: the pump bottle on the right is Tres Spray, while the tube on the left is probably gel.

On the left there’s also a jar of Pond’s peach cold cream.

The yellow spray can on the right is Impulse deodorant, of which I haven’t been able to find any pictures.

National Lampoon’s European Vacation (1985)

In the second movie of the original trilogy, the Griswolds win a trip to Europe. Before leaving for London, Clark takes a video of his wife Ellen (Beverly D’Angelo) doing a dancing routine. The scene is set in their bathroom, so some beauty products and toiletries can be seen.

On the marble counter behind Ellen there’s a pump tube of Colgate toothpaste.

There’s also a bottle of Oil of Olay moisturizer.

From another angle, we can see a bottle of Johnson and Johnson’s baby powder.

Next to it, there’s a big jar of Nivea creme.

Leoni al sole (1961)

There’s a quintessentially Italian beauty product on the vanity in Giulia’s bedroom: it’s Acqua distillata alle rose by Roberts, a classic rose water that’s available everywhere in Italy.

But there’s another item that has captured my attention: a Guerlain flacon montre.

The teal disk tells us it’s Mitsouko. Not your ordinary summer scent, but it’s not surprising: Giulia (Franca Valeri) is a chic/snobbish character, so summer can’t stop her from wearing impeccable outfits and French perfumes. I like the touch given by the prop master (a yellow pump) to customize the bottle.

Thanks to my friend Rocco for the ids.

Always Be My Maybe (2019)

Sasha (Ali Wong) and Marcus (Randall Park) are getting ready to attend an event.

On the counter there are some travel-size bottles of L’Occitane products: the dark green bottles with pink labels are conditioner and shampoo from the Repairing line, while the third bottle on the right is the bath and shower gel from the Cherry Blossom line.

Sasha is applying L’Occitane shea butter intensive balm on her hands.

Wine Country (2019)

winecountry_bornunicorn (1)winecountry_bornunicorn (2)origins_plantscriptioncleanser_bornunicornorigins_plantscriptionantiagingcream_bornunicornNaomi (Maya Rudolf) keeps two Origins products in the bathroom she shares with her friends: both are from the Plantscription line. The tube is the anti-age cleanser; the jar could be many things, because the same container has been used for different creams.colgatetoothpastemouthwash_bornunicorn.jpgThere’s also the 2-in-1 toothpaste and mouthwash by Colgate.

The two tiny bottles are travel-size products by Hask: the blue-cap one is the argan oil repairing conditioner, while the pink-cap one is the monoi coconut oil nourishing shampoo.

Thanks to Emily in the comments for the Hask id.

Aus dem Nichts (2017)

Nadja has got several toiletries and perfume bottles on her vanity. Some bottles look decorative, but other items are real make-up and personal care products.

The plastic tube, for example, is Alessandro Hands!Up lifting hand cream.
