Welcome to Me (2014)

25 Aug 2015 Born Unicorn 1 Comment

The dressing table at the tv studio where Alice Klieg (Kristen Wiig) has her Welcome to Me show is pretty busy.

Starting from the left, we can see a tube of Fresh Sugar tinted lip treatment in Berry. This is the product that the make-up artist actually applies on Alice’s lips.

A gold tube of L’Oreal Color Riche lipstick. Judging from the shade sticker on the bottom of the tube, it should be a dark colour.

There’s also an open tube of L’Oreal Glam Shine lip gloss, in a nude/beige shade.

In the back row, there’s a tube of L’Oreal Original Voluminous mascara.

The blue bottle with the white cap is another product by L’Oreal, Clean Artiste, an eye make-up remover.

The white bottle next to it is Tatcha pure one-step camellia cleansing oil.

Last but not least, there’s a pot with incorporated brush of L’Oreal True Match Naturale all-over mineral glow.

Thanks to Emily in the comments for the Tatcha id.

There’s a jar of Vaseline petroleum jelly in Hedwig’s trailer. You can first see it in the Wig in a Box number.

It can also be seen later in the movie, when Tommy (Michael Pitt) meets Hedwig (John Cameron Mitchell) in her trailer.

Samantha Blake (Joanne Woodward) is a fashion designer who receives a make-over. A blonde wig and sexy clothes call for a sexy perfume, so two Lanvin Arpège products can be spotted on a shelf in her bedroom – a refillable spray atomizer and a talcum powder bottle.

Pride (2014)

One of the most hilarious scenes of this film is set in a London leather bar, taken by storm by a group of women from Dulais, Wales. Gail (Nia Gwynne) and Gwen (Menna Trussler) ask a rubber man (Nick Blair) how he gets into his latex catsuit. He obviously uses talcum powder, something that Gwen uses too, for a different purpose. She explains she uses lily-of-the-valley powder, such a classic British scent!

Gwen is a working-class lady, so I guess her talcum powder is a traditional product, not too fancy nor expensive. Taylor of London, Bronnley, Marks & Spencer, Morny and Yardley would be excellent choices.

The story is set in the 1980s: Gwen is an old lady, so she’s probably using a talcum powder she bought years before – Avon, Woodbury or Woods of Windsor.

Other vintage options could include powders by Margo’s, Penhaligon’s, the lovely Muguet des Bois by Coty or the posh Floris (I can’t really see Gwen wearing Floris, though).

Last but not least, I can totally see Gwen keeping this gorgeous box on her dressing table. The Crabtree & Evelyn dusting powder has a romantic packaging and speaks of past memories.
