Anatomie de l’enfer (2004)

The Man (Rocco Siffredi) picks up a lipstick from the bathroom of the Woman – a scene that gives us a chance to see what’s on the shelf above the washbasin.

There’s a gorgeous golden refillable canister by Guerlain and a black glossy compact by Chanel. In both cases it’s impossible to know what fragrance/product they contained.

The red lipstick he takes from the shelf is from the fictional brand The Tools.

There’s also a bottle of Christian Dior nail polish, shown above in an ad from the spring 2000 collection starring Kristina Semenovskaya.

I am pretty sure the other nail polish bottle (the one with two golden bands on the stopper) is by Maybelline, but I couldn’t find any online evidence of it.

Helter Skelter (2012)

Ririko (Erika Sawajiri) is almost hitting rock bottom of her stellar career. The multiple cosmetic surgeries she’s had have disfigured her and there’s nothing she can do to turn back time. Her make-up artist is able to cover the bruises and spots on her skin but it’s a temporary solution.

Among the many beauty products on her dressing table, there’s the beautiful opaline pump bottle of Yves Saint Laurent Paris body lotion.

When the camera moves, a Chanel compact is visible, too.

Carne trémula (1997)

Clara (Angela Molina) is finally leaving her abusive husband Sancho, so she’s quickly packing some toiletries. In her bathroom there are many beauty products.

There’s also a black box with gold band I haven’t been able to identify. It may be related to No. 5, but I have no idea what it can be.

Catherine D’Lish’s Dressing Table (2014)

catherinedlish_bornunicornThe striptease virtuoso Catherine D’Lish posted this picture on her Instagram account: she was sitting at her dressing table before a show, putting on her make-up and listening to music on her iPod.
