This choice is very interesting, since the movie is set in Missouri and these products are made in St. Louis, one of the most important cities of the state. Maybe it’s the film production supporting a local business, but it can also have a narrative meaning, indicating Amy’s attempt/pretense to adjust to her new life by using local beauty products.
