Still Alice (2014)

17 Dec 2015 Born Unicorn 2 Comments

There are several skincare products in Alice Howland’s bathroom cabinet.

On the top shelf I’ve spotted a Mario Badescu face cream. The front label cannot be read, so it’s impossible to tell what cream it is. There’s also a tube of Verb styling cream.

On the bottom shelf there are a Mario Badescu moisturizer (it could be the A.H.A. & ceramide one), Kérastase Homme Capital Force shampoo and ultra-fixing densifying gel, La Mer moisturizing soft cream and Dr Hauschka facial toner.

Thanks to Emily in the comments for the Verb id.

Pusher (1996)

Frank (Kim Bodnia) and Tonny (Mads Mikkelsen) take a trip to Matas, a local drugstore. Lots of personal care/beauty products can be seen. Matas products, with the trademark striped packaging, are on the shelves of a whole aisle.

A staple of 1990s hair-styling – L’Oreal Studio Line hair products, with the lovely white, yellow, black, red and blue packaging – can be seen, too.

Another classic drugstore line – L’Oreal Elvive haircare – can be spotted on the shelves.

Clearasil acne and marks treatment line has its place on the shelves, too.

Apparently, Chicogo was the brand name with which Rimmel marketed its products in Germany and other Northern European country. The counter in the drugstore visited by Frank and Tonny has got lipsticks and nail polishes.

The Age of Adaline (2015)

There are two L’Oreal lipsticks on the dressing table of Adaline Bowman (Blake Lively). The one with the silver case, on the left, is Infallible Le Rouge, while the other is the classic Color Riche.

The red jar on the table is another L’Oreal product. I do believe it’s part of the Revitalift anti-age line. It could be the intensive overnight mask or Magic Blur.

There are several Australian Gold products behind the counter of the tanning salon where Gry (Maria Erwolter) works.

The gold tubes on the top shelf are tubes of Hot!, a tanning lotion, while the white bottles on the second shelf are Moisture Lock tan extender lotion.

On the top shelf there are also bottles of dark-tanning dry oil spray.

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

After much debate, I’ve come to terms with the fact that no Evian products were mentioned in the famous first dialogue between Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling. The point is that an Evian product actually appears in the movie and I’ve never noticed it before. It’s the classic mineral water spray with the pink cap, sitting on a chest of drawers in Clarice’s bedroom.

Pinaud Clubman talc (in a vintage tin bottle) is featured in the opening scene and in the film poster.

Director Bruce Robinson demanded the inclusion of the Pinaud talc in the shot as he felt it “essential” to convey the sense that Depp’s character, Paul Kemp, was highly refined and sophisticated despite his penchant for heavy drinking. Once the scene was shot in its entirety, Johnny Depp took the talc home.

There’s a jar of Elizabeth Arden Ardena cleansing cream in Francis Dolarhyde’s bathroom shelf. This product is a vestige of a long-gone past, originally used by the man’s grandmother.

The Ardena cleansing cream was part of the Venetian Ardena line, created by Elizabeth Arden in collaboration with the chemist A. Fabian Swanson in 1912, after a trip to Paris. The first successful products of the line were Venetian Cream Amoretta, a “fluffy light-whipped cream-like skin cream”, and Arden Skin Tonic. The line included a wide range of items, among which cleansing tissues, Crème Mystique (to conceal redness, blemishes and the shine on the nose), Crème de France (a protective after-sun cream) and cosmetics.

Jeune & jolie (2013)

There are many products on Isabelle’s bathroom shelf: all of them are French.

The blue bottle on the left is Sanoflore Essence Merveilleuse, a regenerating anti-age night concentrate.

There’s La Roche-Posay Unifiance shine-free foundation.

One of the most popular French beauty products is Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse. Isabelle uses the sèche version, suitable on face, body and hair.

There’s a bottle of Nominoë body oil.

The perfume of choice is Chloé, a floral fragrance created by Amandine Marie and Michel Almairac and launched in 2008. Behind the perfume bottle there’s another Nuxe product in a small tube, but I haven’t been able to identify it. Judging from its content, it could be a travel-size tube or a sample of a product from the Rêve de Miel line.
Last but not least, another Nominoë product – a gentle foam face cleanser.

Thanks to Mari for the Sanoflore id.
