Many scenes of the tv show are set at Adele’s, the Kiplings’ hairdresser’s shop. In the screencap above, a jar of Vaseline pure petroleum jelly is visible, along with a spray can of Raveen oil sheen and conditioner, a Marvy Marvcide sanitizing jar and a bottle of Sea Breeze astringent for skin and scalp.

revlontouchandglowmoisturizingpowderreviewandswatches3The compact Doris uses while putting on some black eye pencil is by Revlon again. It’s made of black plastic with square edges; originally used for the Love Pat pressed powder, it’s now used for the Touch and Glow moisturizing powder. Judging from the three gold lines on the eye pencil, I think it’s another Revlon product.
