In the bathroom of Paul’s mother (Arsinée Khanjian) there are Eau aromatisée de roses by Christian Lenart and Toleriane dermo-cleanser by La Roche-Posay.

To the Stars (2019)
Soon after Iris (Kara Hayward) meets the newcomer Maggie (Liana Liberato), they become friends. Maggie decides to give Iris a makeover, so they go shopping for cosmetics. The beauty counter at the department store they go to displays make-up and skincare products.
On the far left in the screencap above there’s a cardboard table display containing several tin boxes of Palmolive Cashmere Bouquet face powder.
More products can be seen thanks to a close-up.
The two jars with pink lids contain Woodbury skin cream.
There are three boxes of Coty Airspun loose face powder: the classic version has the yellow box, while the peach box contains a perfumed version (the scent in this case is L’Aimant).
The lipsticks with the striped cases are Yardley Slicker.
The white compacts with pink lid contain Beauté-Salon face powder.
On the right side of the counter there’s also a table display of Pond’s lipsticks.
Another shot shows us the far left side of the counter, where there’s another table display. This time the product is Woodbury lanolin-rich hand cream.
Blow the Man Down (2020)
Enid keeps some beauty products on a small table in her bedroom.
The two dropper bottles are Pearlessence products – overnight recovery serum in the gold one, Vitamin C + hyaluronic acid brightening facial serum in the dark one.
The tube on the right is Gold Bond Ultimate Radiance Renewal hydrating cream.
Bad Education (2019)
Frank Tassone’s bathroom perfectly mirrors his character and his love for grooming.
He uses Chapstick lip balm and Ultra Brite toothpaste.
The fragrance he uses is Ralph Lauren Safari for Men, first launched in 1992.
La vérité (2019)
Just before going to bed, Fabienne (Catherine Deneuve) gets a foot massage from Jacques (Christian Crahay). She’s holding a bottle of Eau aromatisée de Fleurs d’Oranger by Christian Lenart.
Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios (1988)
Lucía (Julieta Serrano) is a woman with a troubled past: abandoned by her husband Iván with a child (Carlos, now grown-up and interpreted by Antonio Banderas), she’s spent a long time in a mental institution. Now she’s living with her parents, who try to support her and her extravagant looks.
In this scene, she’s applying her eyeliner. On her dresser there are many beauty products, among which the unmistakable golden spray can of L’Oreal Elnett Satin hairspray.
But there’s also another interesting product – a white jar with pink lid, which screams “Christian Dior skincare”.
It’s impossible to say exactly what product this was, but was for sure part of the Hydra-Dior collection.
It’s not a coincidence that later in the film we see several products from the same line on Pepa’s vanity. Pepa (Carmen Maura) is the former mistress of Iván. She’s another woman “on the verge of a nervous breakdown”, just like Lucía: they’re in love with the same man (who has dumped both of them for another lover) and happen to use the same skincare.
Jade (1995)
Matt exposes Trina’s affairs by displaying pictures of them on her vanity. It’s a cruel and dramatic scene, but it gives us the chance to see some of the beauty products she uses.
The bottles of perfume are by Maitre Perfumeur et Gantier (the one at the centre of the vanity) and Annick Goutal (on the mirrored tray on the right).
There’s also a Chanel toning lotion. Something similar can be seen in a 1970s ad: at the time the product was called Lotion Tonique Refraichissante.
In the picture above there’s another Chanel product – the make-up remover Démaquillant Douceur, in the squared bottle used in the 1990s.
The Boys in the Band (1970)
Michael (Kenneth Nelson) buys some toiletries for Donald (Frederick Combs), so he can have his own toothbrush, soap and hairspray without using his host’s.
The “sandalwood soap” Michael buys is by Elizabeth Arden. In the cabinet there’s also a Bain de Soleil spray sunscreen (or after-sun lotion).
In the bathroom we can also see a bottle of Dickinson’s witch hazel.
Friends with Money (2006)
Olivia (Jennifer Aniston) is always tight on money: she used to work as a school teacher but now she’s a maid and doesn’t earn much. When she finishes a sample tube of moisturiser, she goes through her bathroom drawer to see if there’s anything else she can use.
On the bathroom counter we can see a bottle of Bulgari Eau Parfumée au thé vert Extreme, a stronger version of the classic citrus green fragrance created by Jean-Claude Ellena and launched in 1992.
In the drawer there’s a Givenchy compact, probably containing pressed powder.
There are also two Lancôme products: one is a sample jar of Résolution D-Contraxol, the anti-age treatment Olivia is obsessed with; the other is a carded sample of Miracle, a fresh spicy fragrance created by Alberto Morillas and Harry Fremont and launched in 2000.
Bonjour Tristesse (1958)
After a night of partying and reminiscing, Cecile (Jean Seberg) finally returns home, removes the elegant Givenchy dress she’s worn so far and puts her make-up off.
To do so, she uses a traditional product like Pond’s cold cream.
In front of her there are several beauty products, but the most intriguing object is the octagonal box on the right side of the vanity. Even if the label is not visible, this is definitely the box of Lucien Lelong Gardenia, a soliflore perfume launched in 1936. Too bad the wonderful fluted bottle is not out of the box.
