Deidre Chambers (Gennie Nevinson) has a flamboyant style which I love. The outfit she sports in a scene set at a restaurant is my favourite: it includes a black sequined cardigan, black trousers and an embroidered white blouse. She’s a beauty consultant, so it’s nice she’s got a lipstick, a blush compact, a brush and a perfume on her blouse. The perfume bottle is clearly the same as Yves Saint Laurent Opium, a classic 1980s scent which Deidre could totally wear.
You know I can’t resist a good bathroom selfie, i.e. a picture where beauty and make-up products appear. For this reason, this afternoon, while browsing Instagram, I found myself staring at the pic above, taken by Margherita in her bathroom. She’s a feminist who believes in the power of make-up, one of my favourite writers, co-founder of a gorgeous website and constant source of inspiration, so I decided I couldn’t miss the chance to feature her on my blog.
From left to right: a bottle of BeneFit High Beam highlighter, Sephora mattifying pressed powder, Clinique Moisture Surge moisturizer, Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense lipstick in Cassis Satiné.
Thanks to Margherita for sharing this picture. I can’t wait to see more bathroom shelf shots from her ♥
Bonus read: a love letter Margherita wrote to this lipstick shade (only in Italian, sorry).
L’Oreal Visible Lift liquid foundation, MAC Gentle Off eye and lip make-up remover, Sebastian Originals Shaper hair-spray and Condition 3-in-1 moisturizing mousse can be seen on the dressing table of Angela Lansbury.
The mosaic-looking blush is Physicians Formula powder palette multi-coloured blush.
The white pot behind the lash curler is William Tuttle cover foundation.
This portrait was taken by Rivka S. Katvan behind the scenes of Deuce, the Terrence McNally play which ran on Broadway in 2007.
Thanks to my readers Sara for the hair-spray id and Jessica for the blush, Tuttle and mousse ids.
A gold bullet-shaped lipstick on Elsa Mars’s dressing table means one thing only: Bésame Cosmetics!
Several products from the American brand have been featured in Freakshow so far: a lipstick and a cream rouge pot on the Tattler twins’ dressing table; a mascara, a powder compact and a lipstick on Elsa’s dressing table; mascara and lipstick again at a drugstore. The lip colours have been extensively used in the show, as well. Now that only two episodes are left, I hope we will be given more eye candy from the vintage-inspired company.
Annick Goutal Un Matin d’Orage perfume, Lancôme La Laque Fever lipgloss, Maybelline Great Lash mascara and a Sinful Colors nail polish in Emily’s bedroom.
Thanks to my reader Mich for the mascara id.
Yesterday Tavi Gevinson posted this selfie on her Instagram account. I think she took it on January 4th, 2015, the night of her last performance as Jessica in Kenneth Lonergan’s This Is Our Youth. Judging from her dressing table, she’s a Clinique fan.
I spotted two bottles of Even Better foundation, a Chubby Stick lip colour in a red shade (Two Ton Tomato or Heftiest Hibiscus?), two mascaras (Lash Power in the black tube; High Impact Waterproof, High Impact Curling or Lash Doubling in the silver grey tube), two red tubes of BeneFit BeneBalm lip balm and Givenchy Gelée d’Interdit lipgloss.
Thanks to my reader Jessica for the Givenchy gloss id.
Gucci Envy Me, Tom Ford Black Orchid and Bond no. 9 perfumes at Crystal’s counter.
Amy Elliott Dunne (Rosamund Pike) may be a runaway wife, but she takes care of herself in any situation. After dying her hair, she buys Salon Selectives shampoo and conditioner. The shampoo is Level 5, as shown by the green metallic band on the red bottle, which indicates a balanced cleansing level for normal healthy hair. The conditioner is Level S, which indicates a daily treatment for smoothing and taming frizz from sleek silky hair.
