Yardley or Yardley of London is one of the oldest international companies that specialize in cosmetics, toiletry products and fragrances. The British brand was founded in 1770 and produced mainly soaps and perfumes. It branched out to cosmetics in the second half of the 20th century, but the line was discontinued by around the 1980s.

Shelley appeared in the ad for Yardley Pot o'Gloss. Yardley Pot o'Gloss was a line of tinted lip gloss that looked "so wet they almost drip with highlights." They were all "so tinted they glow him where it's at in six new shades," namely Pot o'Gloss Fire, Pot o'Gloss Walnut, Pot o'Gloss Gold, Pot o'Gloss Lilac, Pot o'Gloss Sheer and Pot o'Gloss Pinker. And Shelley definitely showed everyone how Yardley helped make her look fabulous.
