Medusa Deluxe (2022)

Divine (Kayla Meikle) holding little Pablo in her arms gives us the chance to take a look at the table in front of her.

On it we can see a bottle of Simple micellar cleansing water (or facial toner).

There’s also a bottle of Aunt Jackie’s Curls & Coils Oh So Clean! moisturizing and softening shampoo.

When the camera moves, we can also see a bottle of African Pride Olive Miracle olive and tea tree growth oil treatment.

The Return of the Pink Panther (1975)

Lady Claudine Litton (Catherine Schell) keeps several beauty products and perfume bottles on a mirrored vanity in her bathroom.

The bottle that immediately catches the attention is the Guerlain flacon montre. It has a teal disk on the front label, which means the eau de cologne in it is Mitsouko.

There’s also a bottle of Rochas Madame Rochas eau de toilette.

Last, a refillable atomiser by Nina Ricci. From the details of the metal section and from the size of the bottle, it could be the atomiser of L’air du Temps. The bottle seen in the film is not decorated with gold doves, though.

American Horror Story S12E04 (The Vanishing Twin)

Virginia (Debra Monk) pays a visit to her son Dexter and his wife Anna. The skincare products she keeps on her dressing table are by Tata Harper.

The jar contains Water-Lock moisturizer.

The pale green bottle contains Superkind bio-barrier serum.

American Horror Story S12E02 (Rockabye)

Anna (Emma Roberts) checks her make-up on a gold Stratton compact.

This is the second vintage sighting in this season, which is unusual because it is set in present day. I wonder if these details are leading somewhere in terms of plot or character development.

Thanks to Hillary, the lovely curator of the one and only Makeup Museum, for the id.

American Horror Story S12E03 (When the Bough Breaks)

When Anna receives a gift basket from Hamish, we can see some interesting beauty products in it.

The two pump bottles on the left are Soap Cherie body oils – Orchid and Morning Rose.

The larger bottle is Aesop geranium leaf body cleanser.

There’s another Soap Cherie product: it’s the Magnolia body lotion.

Last, there’s a bottle of Malin+Goetz advanced renewal moisturizer.

American Horror Story S12E01 (Multiply Thy Pain)

Talia (Juliana Canfield) wears a lipstick in a beautiful red shade.

From the studded gold tube we can see it’s a vintage product.

It’s a Max Factor lipstick from the 1940s.

The brand has been endorsed by a huge number of cinema stars over the years. In the specific case of this lipstick, advertised as “the most wonderful lipstick in the world”, in 1947 it was endorsed by Lana Turner as Ginny Marshland from the film Cass Timberlane (1947) by George Sidney.

Talia gives the lipstick to Anna (Emma Roberts). Later in the episode, the protagonist wears it to attend a vernissage at her husband’s art gallery.

Although the lipstick actually worn by Talia and Anna is most definitely not the Max Factor one, I appreciate the fact that the vintage blue red shade was replicated.

Shameless S10E01 (We Few, We Lucky Few, We Band of Gallaghers!)

Debbie owns a secret storage locker where she keeps expensive clothes, accessories and beauty products. Her intention is to return all these goods after using them for a while.

The tall pink bottle on the left is Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia, a floral fruity fragrance launched in 2012.

Next to it there’s Hèrmes Twilly d’Hermès, a floral fragrance created by Christine Nagel and launched in 2017.

There three bottles sitting on the right drawer. The first from the left is Jimmy Choo eau de parfum, a chypre fruity fragrance created by Olivier Polge and launched in 2011.

The pink bottle houses Versace Bright Crystal Absolu, another floral fruity fragrance, created by Alberto Morillas and launched in 2013.

The third one is Yves Saint Laurent Opium, the 2009 version of the 1977 amber spicy classic, originally created by Jean Amic, Jean-Louis Sieuzac and Raymond Chaillan.

Among the make-up products, we can see a Dior compact.

There’s a bottle of Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear liquid foundation.

There’s also a MAC pressed powder compact.

On the other side of the table there’s a NARS compact, which could contain blush or single eyeshadow.

As Good As It Gets (1997)

Obsessive-compulsive disorders can have different forms and expressions. In the case of Melvin (Jack Nicholson), it’s keeping his bathroom cabinet stocked with Neutrogena soap bars and using more than one to wash his hands.

Melvin uses the transparent facial bar – fragrance-free, dye-free, hypoallergenic.
