Mundus Muliebris: or the ladies dressing-room unlock'd and her toilette spread by John Evelyn, c1690:
A new Scene to us next presents,
The Dressing Room and Implements,
Of Toilet Plate and Gilt, and Emboss'd,
And several other things of Cost,
The Table Miroir, one Glue Pot,
One for Pomatum, and whatnot?
Of Washes, Unguents and Cosmeticks,
A pair of Silver Candlesticks,
Snuffers and Snuff Dish, Boxes more,
For Powders, Patches, Water Store,
In silver Flasks, Bottles or Cups,
Cover'd or open to wash chaps
"Vanitas vanitatum omnia vanitas”
