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.

Maxxxine (Mia Goth) is getting ready to shoot a porn film. There are lots of cosmetics and skincare on her dressing table.


The hairspray she uses is Aquanet super-hold hairspray.

On the table is visible Maybelline Great Lash mascara, too.



There are several cans of hairspray on Nomi’s dressing table: one is by Rayette, the other is the unscented, extra super-hold version of AquaNet.

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.
Thanks to Kelly in the comments for the Estee Lauder perfume id.



Selena Quintanilla (Christian Serratos) is getting ready for the Tejano Music Awards. On her dressing table there are a can of Aquanet hairspray and some red MAC lipsticks.


The title of this post is not 100% accurate: this 1983 portrait of Madonna was taken by Richard Corman in her brother’s Manhattan apartment. But I’m pretty sure the can of Aquanet Super-Hold hairspray was hers.



There’s a box of Coty Airspun loose face powder and a can of Aquanet all-purpose hairspray on the floor in Nancy’s bedroom.
There’s a can of Aquanet hairspray on Vera Miles’ dressing table.


In Cozy’s bathroom there are a can of Aquanet unscented super-hold hairspray and a jar of Clinique 7th-day scrub cream.
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.
