Bonnie (Liza Weil) is getting ready for Connor and Oliver’s wedding. She’s applying NARS velvet matte lip pencil in a red shade, which is probably Cruella, a passionate scarlet red.

Cameron (Chloë Grace Moretz) is getting ready for her prom. On the table she’s sitting at there’s a can of Rave ultra-hold hairspray and a Clairol lighted make-up mirror.


There are a box of Dove soap and a Cutex nail polish remover in Nora’s bathroom cabinet.
Yesterday Sarah Jessica Parker posted this picture on her Instagram account. Needless to say, I am in awe of all these perfume bottles sitting in her bathroom. From left to right I can see:

Le Labo Patchouli 24, a patchouli perfume with vanilla base note, created by Annick Menardo in 2006.
Two very big bottles of Annick Goutal Eau d’Hadrien (old packaging). This citrusy fragrance, inspired to Mémoires d’Hadrien (1951) by Marguerite Yourcenar, was created by Annick Goutal herself in 1981.
First launched in 1971, this powdery musky creation by Ron Winnegrad is still on the market. When the actress launched her first fragrance, Lovely, in 2005, she explained one of her sources of inspiration was Love’s Baby Soft, which she wore as a teenager.
Bulgari Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert, a quintessentially 1990s perfume created by the master Jean-Claude Ellena and launched in 1992.
Last but not least, Guerlain Vetiver, originally created by Jean-Paul Guerlain and launched in 1959. It’s not clear whether this is an old version (with the beautiful opaque glass bottle by Robert Granai) or the Eau Glacée or Sport versions, respectively launched in 2004 and 2006.
On the table there are other two bottles I’m quite on the fence with. One, on the left, is Narciso Rodriguez For Her, but the bottle is different from the black one on the market (see the rounded edges). The other is the small bottle on the front: it looks like a Hermès perfume but the cap is not rounded, so I’m not sure.

On the bottom shelf I can see Youth Dew by Estee Lauder and a perfume by Santa Maria Novella.
The two tulle Mickey Mouse ears seen in the picture are by L’Wren Scott (right) and by Gigi Burris (left). She wore the first at the unveiling of Barney’s Electric Holiday collection in 2012 and the second at the recent opening of Mickey: The True Original Exhibition in New York.
Thanks to Lee in the comments for the Estee Lauder id.
On the make-up counter at Selfridges there’s an ad for Djer Kiss face powder.

Two YSL perfumes can be seen in the bathroom of the house the designer (Pierre Niney) shares with his partner Pierre Bergé (Guillame Gallienne).
In the first picture there’s the iconic silver, black and turquoise metal bottle of Rive Gauche, created by Michael Hy and launched in 1971. In the second, a bottle of Pour Homme can be seen in the background; this was launched – again – in 1971.
Gemma Levine took this backstage picture in 1985: Judi Dench was getting ready to perform as Amy O’Connell in the Royal Shakespeare Company production of Harley Granville-Barker’s Waste at the Lyric Theatre in London.
On the shelf in front of her there are many bottles; among them, the unmistakable houndstooth pattern characterising Dior cologne and eau de toilette bottles. There’s no way to tell exactly what scent this was, but we know that this bottle was used for classic creations like Miss Dior, Diorama, Diorella, Diorling and Diorissimo. I can see her wearing the lily-of-the-valley triumph that is Diorissimo. What’s your guess?
The haunting beauty of Joey recurs in many portraits by Nan Goldin. This one, taken in Berlin in 1992, is often paired to a similar picture, taken in New York in 1999. It’s not a coincidence that in both pictures a Clarins product makes its appearance, but this shouldn’t come as a surprise: products by the French brand were incredibly famous in those years. Personally I was very familiar with Eau Dynamisante and with the glass bottle with white cap seen above.
It’s the liquid foundation Le Teint Mat Multi Éclat. My sister loved it! It was a staple in her make-up case.
