The American artist published this picture on her Instagram account in November 2017. She was applying Clinique Chubby Stick cheek color balm in Amp’d Up Apple, but she was also holding a tube of Glossier Haloscope dew-effect highlighter in Topaz.
Lady Gaga’s Dressing Room (2013)
There’s a bottle of 909 Magic Spray (a conditioner and detangler for extensions) and a Moroccanoil flat iron on Lady Gaga’s dressing table. This picture was taken by Terry Richardson in 2013.
Ammore e Malavita (2017)
One of the criminals in the movie has got a very busy bathroom cabinet, filled with perfumes and colognes!
In the screencap above, he’s holding a bottle of Floid after shave with black pump atomiser. This brand was founded in the 1930s in Barcelona, and it’s still highly appreciated by fans of traditional shaving and skincare.
The only product I was able to identify in the packed cabinet is Pino Silvestre after shave, another classic men’s product, this time quintessentially Italian. Created by Lino Vidal and launched in 1955, it’s a fougère fragrance with fresh top notes. I remember I loved Pino Silvestre bath gel when I was a child: it was a staple in our shower.
Joey in My Vanity Mirror, NYC (1999)
This beautiful portrait by Nan Goldin was taken in 1999 in New York: Joey – a recurring subject in the photos by the American artist – was sitting at Goldin’s dressing table, her image reflected in a large round mirror.
Two are the perfume bottles sitting on the table: the one with the white stopper is Clarins Eau Dynamisante, the sublime citrusy fragrance created by Jacques Courtin-Clarins in 1987; the one with the black stopper is by Diptyque, in the tall splash bottle which contained fragrances like Vinaigre de Toilette. Unfortunately, the label in the photo is blurry, so I don’t know exactly what perfume this was. But the layout allows me to make some guesses. This could be L’Eau (the first Diptyque perfume, launched in 1968 and created by Desmond Knox-Leet) or L’Autre (launched in 1973 and created by Serge Kalouguine), two classic spicy scents by the French brand.
This Life (1996-1997)
One of the protagonists of this short-lived BBC television drama is Anna Forbes (Daniela Nardini), a lawyer who works in London. In this promotional picture, set in her bedroom, she’s putting red lipstick on while holding a mirror compact, which happens to be a Givenchy product.
Used as packaging for several make-up items (powder blush, Le Prisme face powder and powder eyeshadows), this glossy black compact had the brand logo (the four Gs) printed in gold on a green/blue/orange/hot pink backdrop.
Atomic Blonde (2017)
The “cologne from the West” Spyglass (Eddie Marsan) is given as after-shave lotion is Old Spice.
Kate and Laura Mulleavy’s Make-Up Finds (2018)
Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the designers behind the fashion brand Rodarte and the talented directors of Woodshock (2017), have just shared their recent beauty finds via Twitter. Their make-up is always pretty minimal, so let’s see what they will be using this spring.
NARS Powermatte lip pigment is shown in two different shades – a dusty mauve (Save the Queen) and a classic red. When it comes to the exact shade, I’m on the fence: it could be the vivid blue red of Starwoman or the red currant of Just Push Play.
There’s also a bottle of Morgan Taylor nail polish in a pastel pink shade.
Pink is a leit-motiv in this picture, as shown by Milk Makeup lip+cheek stick in Rally (mauve with shimmer) and by Rodin lip balm.
No foundation in this selection, but a tinted moisturizer by Laura Mercier.
The highlighter is Bobbi Brown Pink Glow.
Last but not least, a jar of Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch primer.
I hope the Mulleavys will soon share more beauty finds and more favourites. For example, they love floral perfumes, but people need to know. Details, please 😉
A Fish Called Wanda (1988)
There’s a flacon montre of Guerlain Shalimar eau de cologne on the dressing table in Wendy Leach’s bedroom.
Thanks to henna_flowerz for the id.
Trent Reznor’s Love for Scented Candles
In 1994 the founder and frontman of Nine Inch Nails expressed his love for scented candles, which – according to him – were infinitely better than drugs.
Fast forward to 2014: Reznor was portrayed working in Atticus Ross’ studio. Guess what was sitting next to him… A Diptyque candle! Unfortunately, there’s no way to say what scent it was, but this is the evidence we needed (in case we needed it) that his passion for scented candles is still strong!
Thanks to the lovely girls of Diptyque Detectives for first posting about this.
