Thanks to my reader Claudia for submitting this post.
There’s a bottle of Chanel No. 5 on a dresser in Emma and Dexter’s bedroom.
While on holiday in France in 1992, Emma (Anne Hathaway) uses Nivea sun lotion.
There are two Serge Lutens perfumes in the bathroom of Emma’s Parisian house.
Lisa (Regina Hall) has several beauty products on a mirrored shelf; among them there is a tube of Gold Bond Ultimate cream and a bottle of Queen Helene cocoa butter hand and body lotion.
The lipstick that Rachel (Emily Blunt) uses is L’Oreal Color Riche in #752 Classic Wine. The name of this colour is tragically ironic, because this character is an alcoholic.
There’s a Christian Dior houndstooth splash bottle on Helen’s vanity, but unfortunately the front label is never clearly visible. It looks white with a touch of pink, but it could be just a lighting trick. In any case, this bottle was used to contain eaux de toilette and eaux de cologne, so many possibilities open up. I think we should follow one lead, though: what vintage Dior perfume could appeal to an elegant working girl like Helen? We don’t know a lot about her background, so this bottle could be something she received from her mother or grandmother, or she could have bought it for herself. I personally think she would wear a classic, so either Diorissimo or Miss Dior.
There’s another classic product on the vanity – a Chanel lipstick.
And what about the blue glass bottles (four of them!)? They remind me of Neal Yard’s products (the film is set in London, so it would be a logical choice), but I found no evidence the brand used these bottles in the 1990s.
Lily is at a spa with her mother and she’s getting a pedicure. The pedicurist (which she imagines being her stepfather) uses an OPI nail polish in a pale pink shade.
