Lola (2024)

Lola’s dressing table at the strip club where she works is full of make-up products and beauty tools.

Her lipstick is by MAC.

There’s also a shaker of Evyan White Shoulders talcum powder, which is a quite surprising choice. The perfume counterpart was in 1945: it includes notes of gardenia, jasmine, lily of the valley, orange flower and tuberose.

Another surprising choice is Rayette Aqua Net unscented hairspray. This is the vintage version, so I wonder why it appears in a film that is clearly set nowadays.

Bound (1996)

Violet (Jennifer Tilly) is a woman who is looking for a way out of a dangerous situation: her boyfriend is a money launderer for the mafia, so she wants to make a new life for herself with the help of Corky, her fascinating ex-con neighbour.

Her femme fatale look features dark red lipstick: the one she’s applying in the screencap above is by MAC (old packaging).

The make-up brushes sitting on her mirrored dressing table are by MAC, too.

The squared bottle with black stopper on a glass shelf in the bathroom is a Chanel liquid foundation.

Day Out of Days (2015)

There are several beauty products in Mia’s bathroom cabinet.

On the top shelf there’s a bottle of MCMC Noble fragrance, created by Anne McClain and launched in 2009.

On the same shelf there’s a jar of Iwilla Remedy My Skin Glows vegan nourishing cream.

Another product of the same brand –  I Love My Armpits deodorant in Baby Powder – can be seen on the middle shelf.

On the same shelf there’s a bottle of Sinful Colors nail polish.

On the bottom shelf there’s a bottle of Hamadi Organics shea leave-in moisturizing styling cream.

Last, a tube of MAC lipstick.

Selena: The Series S02E09 (When All the World is Sleeping)

In the show’s finale we are given a beautiful shot of Selena’s vanity. There are several MAC products and two surprising perfume bottles.

The small brush on the left side of the screen is MAC 182 buffer brush.

Then there are some lipsticks and compacts, which could be blushes or face powders.

The intriguing choices can be seen on the right side of the screen, where there are two Guerlain bottles.

One is the refillable metal canister, shown here without stopper.

The other is a small flacon montre with golden conical stopper. The front sticker is not shown, so there’s no way to know what eau de cologne this contains.

I’m quite surprised to see Guerlain perfumes on Selena’s vanity and not the one that was her trademark perfume in real life.

In this picture, taken at the Selena Museum in Corpus Christi, we can see Chanel make-up products (including the famous Brick lip colour, now discontinued) and brushes, and one perfume bottle – Boucheron Pour Femme, a white floral fragrance created by Francis Deleamont and Jean-Pierre Bethouart and launched in 1988.

Since this perfume is still on the market, I wonder why the show’s prop masters haven’t used it in this scene.

Selena: The Series S02E05 (Oh No)

Selena (Christian Serratos) has just arrived at her boutique to interview candidates for a sales assistant position. Yolanda (Natasha Perez) hands her a MAC lipstick.

When Selena applies it, we can see it’s a deep red shade, possibly Russian Red (intense bluish red), which she used in real life.
