National Lampoon’s European Vacation (1985)

In the second movie of the original trilogy, the Griswolds win a trip to Europe. Before leaving for London, Clark takes a video of his wife Ellen (Beverly D’Angelo) doing a dancing routine. The scene is set in their bathroom, so some beauty products and toiletries can be seen.

On the marble counter behind Ellen there’s a pump tube of Colgate toothpaste.

There’s also a bottle of Oil of Olay moisturizer.

From another angle, we can see a bottle of Johnson and Johnson’s baby powder.

Next to it, there’s a big jar of Nivea creme.

Wine Country (2019)

The tube is the anti-age cleanser; the jar could be many things, because the same container has been used for different creams.colgatetoothpastemouthwash_bornunicorn.jpgThere’s also the 2-in-1 toothpaste and mouthwash by Colgate.

The two tiny bottles are travel-size products by Hask: the blue-cap one is the argan oil repairing conditioner, while the pink-cap one is the monoi coconut oil nourishing shampoo.

Thanks to Emily in the comments for the Hask id.

John Wick (2014)

One of the opening scenes is set in the protagonist’s bathroom. He’s standing alone in front of the mirror, but he’s looking at the other side of the counter, where many beauty products are. A close-up on this side shows us that it used to be Helen’s, his dead wife.

On the way back to Washington D. C., another scene is set in the presidential plane’s restroom: Jackie is washing her husband’s blood off her face. In this case, a bottle of Guerlain Vetiver can be seen on the countertop on the right. This perfume, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain and launched in 1959, is here shown in the “travel bottle” with silver metal cap and black rim.

Thanks to my Instagram friend Mustapha for the id.
