The Birds (1963)

Once in Bodega Bay, Melanie (Tippi Hedren) gets attacked by a seagull. Mitch (Rod Taylor) tends to her head wound after taking her into a diner.

The gold compact Melanie is holding is Revlon Petite Love-Pat in the early 1960s design by French jewellers Van Cleef & Arpels.

This compact was refillable with either Love-Pat complete make-up (it combined pressed powder and foundation) or Touch and Go pressed powder.

revlontouchandglowmoisturizingpowderreviewandswatches3The compact Doris uses while putting on some black eye pencil is by Revlon again. It’s made of black plastic with square edges; originally used for the Love Pat pressed powder, it’s now used for the Touch and Glow moisturizing powder. Judging from the three gold lines on the eye pencil, I think it’s another Revlon product.
