Stranger Things S05E02 (The Vanishing of Holly Wheeler)

In a season filled with chaos and violence, Karen Wheeler (Cara Buono) is the only character who gives us a short moment of relax — nice music (ABBA’s Fernando is playing on the small stereo she keeps on the bathroom counter), a glass of white wine and a bubble bath.

On the same counter there’s a can of Aqua Net super-hold hairspray.

Half-hidden among other bottles, there’s a Guerlain flacon montre with a gold stopper. This is a historically accurate choice, because this specific bottle was introduced on the market in 1972. The front sticker is not visible, so it’s impossible to tell what fragrance it contains.

The product she generously pours into her bath tub is Avon Bubble Bath in Soft Pink.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)

TV preacher Tammy Faye (Jessica Chastain) has a very distinctive make-up and hairstyle, so it’s not surprising to see her dressing table packed with products.

The green lipstick tube is by Revlon from the Moon Drops line, first launched in the late 1950s. The lipstick collection, which included 20 shades, was launched in 1964.

The perfume on her vanity is Estee Lauder Private Collection, a green floral fragrance created by Vincent Marcello and launched in 1973.

In the background there’s a can of Aquanet all-purpose hairspray.

River of Grass (1994)

The jar with pink cap is a Christian Dior skincare product, probably the Hydra-Star moisturizer or a cream from the original Capture line. The two jars between the hairspray and the scrub are – I’m pretty sure – Estee Lauder products.

She uses a Maybelline eyelash curler.

 

The First Wives Club (1996)

Elise Elliot (Dina Spybey) is a glamourous graduate who would later become an award-winning actress. On her busy dressing table there are some interesting items.

There’s a glass bottle of Cutex nail polish remover in front of the mirror.

The black and white atomiser with a Paisley pattern is Avon Patterns, a fragrance launched in 1969.

Reflected on the mirror, there’s also a bottle of Covergirl liquid foundation.

Last, we can see a spray can of Aqua Net hairspray.
