courtneylove_dressingtable_bornunicornCourtney Love recently shared a picture of how her dressing table looked like during her Australian tour. “Fucking mess”, she commented, and the table is actually a mess.

I’ve able to spot a jar of Eve Lom cleanser (Courtney loves it), a Make Up For Ever Aqua Lip pencil and a Dior Contour lip pencil.

This picture of Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski was taken by Bill Ray in London in 1968.

Among the products sitting on the tiled shelf I can see

some Erno Laszlo products (among which a jar of pHelityl Cream)

a Revlon nail polish

a fluted bottle of Rochas Moustache eau de cologne, a citrus aromatic fragrance created by Edmond Roudnitska and Thérèse Roudnitska, and launched in 1949

a bottle of La Bottega Vetiver eau de cologne

a tiny bottle of Shiseido Zen, a chypre fragrance created by Josephine Catapano and launched in 1964.

Thanks to Showtimesynergy in the comments for the Rochas id, and to Obliviana in the comments for the Shiseido id.

Adriana Asti’s Dressing Table (2014)

How awesome is this? I’ve spotted Guerlain La petite robe noire perfume, L’Oreal Elnett Satin hairspray and Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or on the dressing table of the great Italian actress Adriana Asti.

The picture was taken by Rocco Talucci at Caio Melisso Theatre in Spoleto during the 56th edition of Festival dei due mondi, where the actress performed in La voce umana (La voix humaine) and Il bell’indifferente (Le bel indifférent) by Jean Cocteau.

David Bowie’s Dressing Table (1973)

Screenshot_2015-08-17-23-33-52These pictures were taken by Mick Rock during David Bowie’s British tour in 1973. On his busy dressing table you can see a Dior houndstooth bottle.

My first thought went to the Diorissimo cologne, but the front label is not visible, so it’s impossible to say what perfume he wore. Plus, many Dior perfumes were marketed in the houndstooth bottle (some examples here).

Tammin Sursock’s Dressing Table (2014)

This is not from a movie or tv show but from the set of Pretty Little Liars. Tammin Sursock is ready for her close-up as Jenna Marshall. On her busy dressing table I’ve spotted NARS liquid foundation and Velvet Gloss lip pencil, plus Wet Ones hand wipes.
