Stacy Hamilton (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and Linda Barrett (Phoebe Cates) are applying Queen Helene Mint Julep masque on their faces.
On the busy dressing table there is a bottle of Fabergé Organics wheat germ oil and honey shampoo.
There’s also Estee Lauder Country Mist foundation.
And a black tube of Bain de Soleil sun lotion (or self-tanner).
Right in front of Linda there’s Tom’s of Maine Apple Honey roll-on deodorant, which I have found no reference picture for.
Thanks to Tammy and Gillian for the foundation and shampoo ids, and to Clayton for the deodorant id.

Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain for Sassy Magazine (1992)
Some days ago I came across the picture above, taken by Dora Handel in 1992. Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain were portrayed in New York for Sassy Magazine; Christina Kelly interviewed them at the peak of their love story. They weren’t married, the Nirvana mania had just exploded and tragedy hadn’t struck their family yet. I had seen pictures from that photoshoot lots of times, but for the first time I noticed the compact Courtney was holding in her hand. A Christian Dior blue and gold striped compact containing Teint Poudre dual powder foundation.
As for the pencil she was holding, something (the gold writing on it) tells me it was by Chanel, but it’s just a guess.
It’s nice to see that some things never really change: even as the poster child for the kinderwhore aesthetic Courtney had an expensive taste. After all, she’s always wanted to be the “girl with the most cake”, hasn’t she?
Thanks to Heather Martin in the comments for the compact id.

Lauren Castillo (Karla Souza) picks up some hair from Sam Keating’s hair brush – a Mason Pearson one with boar bristle and nylon tufts.
Pretty Little Liars S05E18 (Oh What Hard Luck Stories They All Hand Me)
There are a tube of Maybelline Great Lash mascara and a bottle of L’Oreal Paris EverCurl Hydracharge leave-in cream on Aria’s desk.
I usually don’t write about medicines/vitamin capsules, but my friend Jennifer, who identified L’Oreal cream for me, told me the jar next to it contains Rainbow Light certified organic women’s multivitamin vegetarian capsules. I guess Aria needs them to keep up with school and all the complicated adventures in her life.
