Taking Care of Business (1990)

Debbie Lipton (Anne De Salvo) works at the Chanel beauty counter at I. Magnin luxury department store in Los Angeles. She may be loud and very chatty with her former high school classmate Spencer (one of the protagonists), but she looks very classy and professional at her workplace.

Besides her lovely Chanel black-and-white outfit, she’s surrounded by a beautiful selection of skincare, cosmetics and fragrances by the French maison.

Behind Debbie there’s a Chanel skincare counter. It’s impossible to tell what those glass bottles contained, but I’m pretty sure one of them was Lotion Douce (shown above in a 1978 advert).

Hard not to notice the huge factice bottle of Chanel Coco eau de toilette, an amber/warm spicy fragrance by Jacques Polge launched in 1984. The advert above, starring Inès de la Fressange, was released in 1989.

Right in front of Coco there’s a bottle of Chanel No. 5, the classic floral aldehyde fragrance by Ernest Beaux launched in 1921.

The white pump bottles are body lotion/body emulsion testers. Hard to tell what fragrance these were ancillary products of.

The atomisers in front of the pump bottles contained No. 22 (white atomiser) and No. 19 (steel grey atomiser). No. 22, a white floral fragrance by Ernest Beaux, was originally launched in 1922; on the other hand, No. 19, a green floral fragrance by Henri Robert, was launched in 1970.

A different angle reveals another factice – a massive black glossy case of Chanel Lift Sérum, an anti-aging product launched in the late 1970s.

There are also several black boxes, possibly containing compacts. Moreover, just below the oval mirror on the right there’s a Les 4 Ombres eyeshadow palette.

Debbie has helped Spencer (Charles Grodin) with his misadventures; before getting his privileged life back, he gives her a dalmatian puppy as a thank-you gift. I’m sure Debbie and the puppy will become best friends in no time.

Behind Spencer and Jimmy (Jim Belushi) there’s an interesting Christian Dior product. The front label is not fully visible, but I managed to identify this white pump bottle as part of the Capture skincare line, shown above in a promotional card from 1987.

La voz humana (2020)

The Woman (Tilda Swinton) is applying mascara in front of a round mirror. The bathroom she’s in is tiled in different colours and is full of beauty products and toiletries.

Starting from the left red-tiled niche, I’ve identified:

Rochas Eau de Rochas bath and shower gel

Chanel La Crème Main hand cream

Perlier Honey Miel bath and shower cream and Thai Coco body lotion

Chanel Paris-Biarritz shower gel

Moving right, there’s the blue-tiled niche, where there are two hair products:

John Frieda Luxurious Volume Touchably Full conditioner

L’Oreal Extraordinary Oil oil-in-milk leave-in hair cream

Now there’s the washbasin counter, packed with bottles of medicines.

On the far left there’s a tube of Natura Bissé The Cure all-in-one cleanser.

There are two different bottles of elixirs by My Yébenes. The first on the left is Repair, while the second one (a bit further moving towards the right) is Resistance.

There’s also a jar of Natura Bissé C+C Vitamin face cream.

The first perfume bottle I’ve spotted is Hermès Eau de Citron Noir cologne.

Then there’s obviously the Chanel No. 5 factice.

There’s also a bottle of Chanel Les Beiges foundation among the medicine bottles.

Next, two products by Natura Bissé from the C+C Vitamin line – sun protection at the top left corner of the washbasin and micellar cleansing water next to the tap.

Moving back to the first screencap, all the right part of the counter is for Chanel make-up items. So we can see

Joues Contraste powder blush

Rouge Allure red lipstick

A cream blush

Poudre Universelle Libre loose powder

Les 4 Ombres eyeshadow palette in Tissé Camélia

Palette Essentiel in Beige Clair

Les Beiges compact powder

Le Lift Lèvres et Contours firming cream.

Last, two toothpastes in a silver glass

One is Marvis Classic Strong Mint toothpaste.

The other is Verkos Kemphor toothpaste.
