Several bottles of Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey eau de parfum are displayed in the luxury department store where most of the film is set.
The eau de parfum version was launched in 2006, while the original eau de toilette was launched in 1992. A Jacques Cavallier creation, it’s one of the first ozonic/aquatic perfumes which set the new trend of “clean” perfumery in the 1990s.
Enid keeps some beauty products on a small table in her bedroom.
The two dropper bottles are Pearlessence products – overnight recovery serum in the gold one, Vitamin C + hyaluronic acid brightening facial serum in the dark one.
The tube on the right is Gold Bond Ultimate Radiance Renewal hydrating cream.
The red nail polish seen in Frannie’s bedroom is by Christian Dior.
After her son Brendan leaves for college, Eve (Kathryn Hahn) accepts to go out on a date. Her bathroom shelf is busy with skincare products.
On the left side of the mirror shelf there are three Suki products. It’s hard to identify them because the same packaging has been used for different products. My guess is that they are the transformative purifying masque (in the medium-sized bottle), the concentrated clarifying toner (in the tall bottle) and the tinted active moisturizer (in the small bottle).
The deodorant on the washbasin is Dove Advanced Care ClearTone.
On the mirror shelf there’s also Shiseido Senka Perfect Whip cleansing foam in the blue tube.
On the same shelf, the jar with black cap is Suki exfoliate foaming cleanser.
Thanks to Jay in the comments for the Dove deodorant id.
Several bath products can be seen in Eve’s bathroom.
The green bottle is Irish Spring body wash.
Then there’s Aveeno Positively Nourishing calming body wash.
Next, there’s a Redken product (a shampoo or hair conditioner in the old packaging).
The white jar with black cap is the ultra-protect body balm by Suki.
Last, a bottle of Live Clean coconut milk moisturizing body wash.
There’s Colgate shaving cream on Tyler Durden’s bath-tub.
I’ve covered Stevie Nicks’ bathrooms and dressing rooms several times: I’ve always loved her music and style, so it’s intriguing to identify the beauty products and perfumes she uses in real life. Some time ago a reader of this blog submitted a couple of pictures from the 1980s I’d never seen before. In both of them, there’s a mysterious product (a tall plastic bottle with black cap) which I was asked to identify.
The product in question is one of the most popular products by Neutrogena, a body oil. The advert above shows the packaging in 1979. This is not the exact bottle seen on Stevie Nicks’ tables, though, because the cap has a different shape.
The bottle shown in this advert from 1985 is more like it, even if I think the oil bottle seen in the second Stevie picture has a larger size.
In the first picture two Erno Laszlo bottles (lotion or Shake-It tinted treatment) can be seen as well.
Thanks to James for submitting this post and to Cédric for the id.
Frank Tassone is a superintendent in Long Island: he’s successfully brought the local high school – Roslyn High School – among the top schools of the country. He’s appreciated by his colleagues, students and parents. He’s always carefully groomed and loves using beauty products.
In the opening scene he uses Lucky You by Liz Claiborne. Launched in 2000, it’s a cheap perfume with floral and powdery accents. Maybe he’s chosen it for its name.
Frank Tassone’s bathroom perfectly mirrors his character and his love for grooming.
He uses Chapstick lip balm and Ultra Brite toothpaste.
The fragrance he uses is Ralph Lauren Safari for Men, first launched in 1992.
The bottle seen on the dressing table in Ellen Kincaid’s bedroom is Evening in Paris by Bourjois, a creation by Ernest Beaux originally launched in 1928 on the American market. Thanks to the huge success it had in the U.S., it was later launched in Europe as Soir de Paris.
The choice of this particular bottle (the third from the left in the picture above) is historically correct: the wave-shaped label on cobalt blue glass was introduced in the late 1940s-early 1950s, exactly at the time in which the tv show is set (circa 1947).
