From Developing the Naked Palette to Shutting Down a Brand: Highs and Lows from Developer and Founder Amy Zunzunegui

Starting a beauty brand might seem glamorous — especially according to social media — but the hard reality is that being a founder and navigating the insanely crowded and complicated beauty space can be disheartening and even impossible. On today’s episode, we have beauty veteran Amy Zunzunegui, founder of recently-shuttered WLDKAT skincare, to give us the honest truth about what it’s like to start and shut down a beauty brand. Tune in to hear what Zunzunegui learned from her days at Urban Decay (developing iconic products like the NAKED Palette and Moondust eyeshadows), what the highs and lows of launching her own brand were, what she was up against when creating CBD beauty products, and what she wants up-and-coming founders to know when starting their own brands.

Should Sephora and Ulta Be Catering to Gen Alpha?

We’re discussing the “Sephora Kids” phenomenon — an offshoot of our “Tweenage Clean” episode from last year. Reports of children running rampant (and unattended) at the retailer are riling up the internet. Nasty behavior, destroying testers — these are a few things that have people upset. Knowing tweens and teens are eager to shop at beauty retailers, should places like Ulta and Sephora develop sections specifically made for them? Why or why not? Kirbie and Sara debate this topic on the show, but we want to hear from you. Plus, there’s another beauty acquisition to discuss, and we’ve got some interesting beauty tech to explore from trade show CES in Vegas.Shop this episodeGlossAngelesPod.comhttps://glossangeles.komi.ioCALL US: 424-341-0426Shop products from our episodesJoin our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/glossangelespodcastInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Sofie Pavitt Dishes on a Few Unsuspecting Reasons You're Breaking Out (And How to Help)

There’s a reason celebrities and New York’s “It” girls flock to Sofie Pavitt’s Chinatown studio for her famous facials. It isn’t because they’re looking forward to a luxurious, relaxing treatment. You won’t get that from Sofie. It’s because the South Wales-born esthetician is going to transform their skin. Sofie Pavitt’s before and afters have proven that a simple routine, consistency, and gentle, but efficacious ingredients can get you your dream skin, especially if you’re dealing with acne. She recently launched her own line of products including a Mandelic Acid serum that both Kirbie and Sara swear by. On the pod, Sofie shared why she made the pivot from fashion to facials (she worked at Abercrombie & Fitch during its heyday), the differences between British and American beauty ideals, and the most common culprits for pesky pimples, but more importantly, how to get rid of them. GlossAngelesPod.comhttps://glossangeles.komi.ioCALL OR TEXT US: 424-341-0426Shop products from our episodesJoin our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/glossangelespodcastInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Elizabeth Hurley Wants You Get Familiar With Your Breasts

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we are thrilled to have actress and advocate Elizabeth Hurley on the show to discuss the importance of being "breast aware."

Dr. Shah Talks Filler Complications, Bed Bugs, No Nuance and Other Frightening Skincare Trends

Today we have the most-followed dermatologist on social media as our guest, but don't let that title phase you — Dr. Muneeb Shah is a board-certified dermatologist that happens to have 21M+ followers on social media. Dr. Shah (@dermdoctor on TikTok or @doctorly on Instagram) rose to fame on social for democratizing skincare advice from a dermatologist for the masses.He completed his undergraduate studies at Hofstra University, medical school at Nova Southeastern University, and dermatology residency at Campbell University. He recently joined friend-of-the-pod Dr. Bhanhusali at Hudson Derm and Laser Surgery in New York City, where he's a partner. Today we discuss how he got to this point in his career, how he feels about dermatologists leaving the medical field to become full-time content creators, why he loves clinical dermatology and will always continue to see patients, and he answers some rather spooky skincare questions just in time for Friday the 13th, like filler migration, improper use of viral skincare product A313, and the very relevant topic of bed bugs.

Tweenage Clean: Drunk Elephant, Glow Recipe, Minis and the Teen Skincare Surge

Maybe you had a solid three-step skincare regimen as a kid. If you were like us, you were also probably obsessed with beauty in general. But our teenage selves don't hold a candle to current tween regimens. In today's episode, we share a story from Look, Air Mail's beauty and wellness publication, that details the rather involved (and frankly insane) regimens of several 10 to 15-year-olds, which include everything from Drunk Elephant minis to MZ Skin's $145 eye cream and share our learnings from the tweens in our lives. Then we break down why people are so unhappy with Youthforia's latest launch, a made-to-sleep-in foundation that missed the mark on the shade range.

How to Incorporate a High Percentage of Vitamin C Into Your Routine with Paul Baek, Founder of Matter of Fact

You've likely heard people sing the praises of MATTER OF FACT, the brand created by today's guest, Paul Baek. Paul is not only the founder but formulator and CEO of the the award-winning skincare brand. After becoming a K-Pop singer in the early 2000s following his studies at Harvard, Paul spent years of research and development to create one of MATTER OF FACT's first products, a high-potency 20% vitamin C serum. He's on the pod to share how his career as a K-Pop star influenced how he took care of his skin, what he learned about skincare from Korea, and how MATTER OF FACT separates itself from other skincare brands — including the fact that their vitamin C is not only highly concentrated and waterless, but also holds its efficacy 19 months after use.Shop Paul's episodeGlossAngelesPod.comhttps://linktr.ee/glossangelespodCALL US: 424-341-0426Shop products from our episodesJoin our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/glossangelespodcastInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

How Annie Lawless's Autoimmune Diagnoses Lead Her to Create Two Beloved Brands

Annie Lawless has created not one but two explosive brands in her career, including Lawless, a fan-favorite Sephora-exclusive cosmetics line. Annie's untraditional foray into the beauty industry perhaps gives her a leg-up on her competitors — she went from selling in prestige grocery stores to creating makeup. Annie details how her career was heavily influenced by the autoimmune diseases she was diagnosed with as a child, and how that lead her to create a brand that could compete with the high-end legacy brands that were free of traditional ingredients she was looking to avoid. Listen to how Annie grew her first business — sold it — and what types of performance-based ingredients set Lawless apart.

Makeup Artist and Hollywood Historian Erin Parsons Wants Us to "Embrace the Fantasy"

Erin Parsons has captivated TikTok, Youtube and Instagram with her incredible historically-accurate makeup tutorials and fascinating makeup recipe recreations. Prior to amassing nearly 3 million followers across those platforms, she was obsessed with classic movies and makeup, leading her to assist Dame Pat McGrath and eventually work with supermodels like Gigi Hadid and Gisele, all of the top fashion magazines, and become Maybelline's Global Makeup Artist. She joins Kirbie on the pod to discuss how people consumed makeup back in days of Marilyn Monroe and how stars really "sold the fantasy" before things like high definition cameras came into the picture, how researching and learning about makeup has helped her to procure some iconic cosmetic artifacts — like pieces from Monroe's actual makeup kit — what she hopes we bring back from the early aughts, and her favorite drugstore makeup recommendations.Shop Erin's picks hereSubscribe to Erin's Youtube channelGlossAngelesPod.comhttps://linktr.ee/glossangelespodCALL US: 424-341-0426Shop products from our episodesJoin our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/glossangelespodcastInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

How the Pandemic Influenced the Skincare Industry

It may seem like common sense, but the pandemic had a massive impact on our skin. We dealt with mascne to hair loss (your scalp *is* skin!); makeup took a backseat, and with so much time on our hands, we were able to think more about the efficacy of our own regimens and how impactful the ingredients we used were — for better our worse. We spent time wanting to restore our skin barrier and see resilience with our skin. Our haircare regimens became just as involved as our facial routine. And by watching ourselves day in and out on Zoom, we started taking note of all the treatments and surgeries being reviewed on TikTok. Plus, after years of doom and gloom, we wanted to feel more positive and happy versus bland and militant when it came to our skincare routine. Today, Kirbie is covering this topic based on the feature she wrote for Cosmo: "How the Pandemic Came For Your Skin." Spate co-founder Yarden Horwitz and Sula Labs founder AJ Addae were featured sources in the story and join her to discuss just how radically our routines were changed by the pandemic as well as how brands are adapting to these new trends.

First, she shares why she was on the beautiful island of Mauritius with Fresh Beauty and then dives into her WOYF for the week: an excellent sunscreen that she picked up from the Dubai airport and has both UVA and UVB protection. On the news front, we're curious to hear your thoughts about Glossier as the brand officially enters 600 Sephora stores in the US and Canada this week. Call the hotline and share your hot takes and passionate odes to the brand. And finally, we need to talk about ownership of trends. Sometimes it's warranted — like the dark lip liner trend, for instane. But many creators on TikTok like to take credit for decades-old beauty techniques that they did not create. This time it's draping, a blush application technique that essentially contours the face, sculpting the cheeks upwards and dousing the eyelid in the process. This look was created by makeup icon Way Bandy in the '70s... long before anyone started creating videos about it on social media. Enjoy a mini history lesson on the subject.

Drama is abundant this week, so we're skipping WOYF and diving right into it. Starting with special guest Jihan Forbes, the former editor and industry expert shares her take on the news that Procter & Gamble is entering a "partnership" with Mielle Organics. As you may recall from our previous news episode, there was a larger conversation at hand after influencer Alix Earle promoted the product on her TikTok. Jihan also discusses the launch of another celebrity beauty brand with us — this time it's John Legend with his new skincare brand, Loved01. Kirbie interviewed Legend ahead of the launch and discussed with both Sara and Jihan the premise of creating products for melanin-rich skin along the overall lack of studies and research on it. Many of you tagged, DMed or called the hotline to ask for our take on Gwen Stefani's comments in Allure, which we'll be covering at length.

The Ultimate Pregnancy Skincare and Beauty Episode: What Do Avoid and More

So you're trying to get pregnant or you're currently in the midst of pregnancy. It can be confusing, scary and lonely — and that's not getting into the beauty conversation of it all. However, we are a beauty podcast and we often get questions about how to create your pregnancy skincare/makeup/haircare routine: what to avoid, what's "safe," what treatments and ingredients are okay to partake in (or not). We have both a board-certified dermatologist and OB/GYN on the podcast to share their thoughts. While we recommend consulting your personal doctor, we are thrilled that both experts — who we interviewed separately — are aligned when it comes to what's okay to use and what you should avoid during pregancy. Dr. Laura Scott is a board-certified dermatologist and has she served as the Associate Director, Skin of Color Division at University of Miami, Dermatology. Dr. Sara Twogood board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist who practices at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles and is the co-founder of Female Health Education, a website providing comprehensive information and education about pregnancy and gynecology topics. You'll learn about what ingredients are great to use during pregnancy, what myths you've probably heard passed down from generation to generation that need to be debunked, what data is available for the safety of specific actives, and why we shouldn't blame our skincare routines or why we may not be able to conceive. Plus: can you use microcurrent when pregnant? Can you get rid of stretch marks at home? Why should you avoid hot baths or hot tubs? Will long-term birth control affect your ability to get pregnant? Is exercise a concern during pregnancy? Any many more of your questions, answered.

Julian shares what happens in a clinical trial from start to finish, what he looks for when it comes to SPF protection, what is a drug claim vs. claims cosmetics can make, and why not doing a clinical trial doesn’t mean a product isn’t effective. Shop this episodeGlossAngelesPod.comhttps://linktr.ee/glossangelespodCALL US: 424-341-0426Shop products from our episodesJoin our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/glossangelespodcastInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

On today’s episode, we welcome Refinery29 Unbothered’s Ineye Komobino on to discuss the brilliant piece she wrote on what went down between Will Smith and Chris Rock, the intricacies of Black women’s relationship with hair, and why the situation is much more nuanced and complex than you may think. GlossAngelesPod.comhttps://linktr.ee/glossangelespodCALL US: 424-341-0426Shop products from our episodesJoin our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/glossangelespodcastInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

There's a New Dyson Airwrap Coming This Summer

We're kicking off this week breaking down a major beauty brand drama involving our very own Sara Tan. (Purchase the Nails of LA x Sara Tan collab here!) Sara then waxes poetic about a Megababe product that totally transformed her pits. In major headlines, The CROWN Act finally passed — which got us singing the praises of Sesame Street (stay with us, there's a great connection there, we promise). Dyson announced a new Airwrap will be launching this summer and Kirbie has details on why the new version is even more spectacular AND is compatable with the first gen. And sadly our friends at Jergens have implemented a voluntary recall for their Ultra Healing products (click the link to check the lot codes being recalled). Shop this entire episode!

What is Inflammation-Induced Aging and How Do We Stop It? With Heraux's Ben Van Handel

Chronic, low-grade inflammation has been linked to accelerating the aging process. Ben Van Handel had dedicated the past 10 years of his life learning about this process, also known as "inflammaging," and discovered a molecule that is clinically proven to not only stop inflammaging but protect skin as well. His product, Heraux Molecular Anti-Inflammaging Serum is one of our favorites on the pod, so we brought Ben on to discuss what causes the process, how Heraux works, advancements he's currently working on, and what outside factors contribute to inflammaging overall.

Our Exclusive Interview! Hyram Yarbro on His New Brand, How Many Sponsorship Offers He Gets in a Week and His Goals For Giving Back

Hyram Yarbro was born and raised on a cattle ranch in Arizona to a Mormon Family, not paying much attention to skincare. After moving to Hawaii, getting a sunburn (how times have changed!) and needing a product to help conceal the redness, he ventured into a Sephora and learned quickly the power of cosmetics. Fast forward to 2017, Hyram launched his Youtube channel, advocating for his audience to learn more about the ingredients in their skincare. In 2020, Hyram was the #1 skinfluencer on Youtube and TikTok, filming 5-6 videos a week along with creating content for TikTok and Instagram. After reviewing a variety of brands, he was determined to create his own. He was about to order all the components to create his own products when he took a meeting with Mark and Colette of The Inkey List. It was then that Selfless by Hyram was born.We spoke with Hyram about a variety of things, from how his religion growing up impacted his work ethic, his mental health as a content creator, how many brands reach out to him (per week!) to work with him, the causes his brand directly gives back to, and of course had to ask him about his ingredient preferences. Selfless by Hyram is available at Sephora now!

Prince's Posthumous Urban Decay Collaboration + Jessica Alba's $130M Payday in Beauty Headlines

It's Wednesday (sorry we're a day late!) and we have a lot of celebrity beauty headlines to cover. First up, the Prince Estate has collaborated with Urban Decay on an upcoming collection. Kirbie and Sara share their thoughts (and the missed product opportunities –– When Doves Cry-liner, anyone?). Sara tries to hide her jealousy of Lori Harvey (and fails), who is not only launching a skincare brand, but is testing it on BF Michael "Bae" Jordan. Lil Yachty has us excited about his upcoming nail paint launch, Crete, and we have ideas on how the applicator may be a point of differentiation for the brand.

The 23-Year-Old Founders of Topicals on the Link Between Chronic Skin Conditions and Your Mental Health

Olamide Olowe and Claudia Teng are not your typical beauty brand founders. They’re young (Gen Z, represent), they’re women of color, and they are encouraging their customers to embrace their chronic skin conditions. While Topicals’ products are made with scientifically-proven ingredients aimed to help issues like eczema, rosacea, and acne, they aren’t meant to “fix” your skin. Olamide and Claudia want their fans to know that flare-ups can be fun or at the very least, not the end of the world. That said, their hero products — Faded, a brightening gel and Like Butter, a hydrating mask — are amazing. We are both huge fans and we are not alone — the brand launched in August and has already amassed a large, loyal following. During our conversation, Olamide and Claudia share how they came to launch Topicals, what they think the beauty industry gets wrong about chronic skin conditions, and why mental health is such an important part of their brand.

Is the Manicure Dead? (Spoiler Alert: It's Not. Here's Why.)

Big news today: SARA'S BACK! Our resident Hot Mom is making her grand return to Gloss Angeles and we have a ton of a ground to cover. First of all, we've all been thirsty for newscasters. Does anyone have Chris Cuomo's information? (We kid... kind of.) Kirbie bought some goodies at the Sephora sale including a fragrance everyone needs to get this winter because it's like capturing the scent of a burning match... but in a good way. It was hard to see past all the Election coverage, but one New York Times article managed to cause a huge fuss: Is This the End of the Manicure? pissed off a bunch of people and Kirbie has some thoughts. Then we talk about a ton products we're loving right now, like a tinted moisturizer that's got everyone raving, a hyperpigmentation gel that smells odd but works like a charm, a tattoo artist's venture into the beauty realm, a baby lotion that Sara's been using on herself, and an app that's helped take down Kirbie's stress levels.

Our CVS Skin Care Haul: Drugstore Products For $30 or Less

It’s no secret we love prestige brands, like a fancy serum or decadent créme, but we also believe good skin care doesn’t mean spending hundreds of dollars. Our personal philosophy is you should only buy what you need. If something is working for you, keep doing it! You don’t need every product you see posted about on instagram, websites, and yes, even Gloss Angeles. But if you are shopping to update your regimen, you don't need to dole out a ton of cash to get an efficacious product. We reached out to our friends at CVS about doing a drugstore-themed episode and they graciously gave us gift cards to curate our own skin care regimen at the store.

Australian Beauty Advice With Go-To Skin Care Founder (and Former Beauty Editor) Zoë Foster Blake

It's a beauty editor kiki! Zoë Foster Blake is one of Australia’s most celebrated beauty experts. But before she became a beauty brand founder, she was just like us — a beauty editor! Zoe was the beauty director of Cosmopolitan and Harper’s BAZAAR Australia. She then went on to write a few books, including Amazing Face, a best-selling beauty bible, and then decided to start her own beauty blog back in 2006. After years of reviewing and using every kind of skin care product on the face of the earth, Zoë decided to take a stab at creating her own. She wanted to make something that was simple, stress-free, and more about self-love than “fixing” stuff. Thus Go-To Skin Care was born. Go-To focus on clean formulas and has a cheeky brand voice. With the success of her brand, Zoë launched Gro-To Skin Care, a clean line for kids. It's super cute, trust us. Listen to learn how Zoë editorial expertise equipped her to become a standout brand founder.L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect LineCreamy Powder Foundation ($16)Lash Magnifying Mascara ($11)Radiant Serum Foundation ($12)Luminous Hydrating Lipstick ($9)What's on Your FaceMarc Jacobs Re(cover) Hydrating Coconut Lip Oil ($28)Saie Glowy Super Gel ($25)Go-To Skin Care Fancy Face Nourishing Oil Cleanser ($34) and IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye ($27) Hosted on Acast.

Creating a Clean Beauty Brand With Ilia Founder Sasha Plavsic

Sasha Plavsic is the founder of ILIA Beauty, a prestige line of natural and organic beauty products that combine superior color performance and nourishing organics based in Laguna Beach. Before Sasha started the company, she had years of branding experience helping beauty and wellness companies, including Urban Decay and Saje Natural Wellness. So when she discovered that there wasn’t any existing clean beauty products that were not packaged in bamboo, she found herself with a goal in mind (and the experience to back it up): create a tinted lip balm that was luxurious and didn’t contain any nasty ingredients. Fast forward to today and ILIA is one of the leading clean color cosmetics brands out on the market. We’re talking to Sasha about starting her brand as well as Ilia’s latest launch: the Super Serum Skin Tint.--Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/GlossAngelesPodShop all of our product lists: http://www.shopstyle.com/shop/GlossAngelesShop Kirbie’s stash: https://www.shopstyle.com/shop/Kirbie-JohnsonShop Sara’s stash: https://www.shopstyle.com/shop/saratan Hosted on Acast.

After graduating from business school and working for large corporations, Vicky spent years traveling back and forth from the states to Asia.

She loved how pure, simple, and effective the classical Japanese beauty philosophy was and decided she wanted to share the secrets and ingredients she learned about with the rest of the world. Today, Tatcha works with scientists in both Japan and the U.S. to create formulations from scratch that honor traditional Japanese beauty practices, but are made with advanced technology and innovation.Vicky also discusses Tatcha's new Serum Stick and what makes this new launch so special. ---Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/Gloss_AngelesShop all of our product lists: http://www.shopstyle.com/shop/GlossAngelesShop Kirbie’s stash: https://www.shopstyle.com/shop/Kirbie-JohnsonShop Sara’s stash: https://www.shopstyle.com/shop/saratanGloss Angeles is co-hosted by Kirbie Johnson and Sara Tan.

How Wine Inspired a Cult-Favorite Serum With April Gargiulo From Vintner's Daughter

April Gargiulo is the founder of Vintner’s Daughter, the cult-favorite brand beloved by skincare fanatics, from celebrities and beauty editors to clean beauty devotees and face oil enthusiasts. When April became pregnant with her first daughter, she tried to find a skincare product she could use that was free from chemicals and murky ingredients — she couldn’t find any. April had spent years working in her family’s wine business, learning the importance of quality formulation and ingredient sourcing, so using the same practices she learned on the vineyards, April decided to take a stab at creating her own beauty solution. The result? The Active Botanical serum, a holy grail skincare product made with whole botanicals and packed with nutrients that could replace your entire skincare routine while delivering dramatic results. Since then, she’s also created the Active Treatment Essence, which has also garnered a massive fanbase. Pick up Vintner's Daughter:Active Botanical SerumActive Treatment Essence----Thank you to our presenting sponsor, HUM Nutrition!Wing Man ($25)What's on Your Face?Kirbie: Alpha-H Liquid Gold ($60)Sara: Glossier Pro Tip Liquid Eyeliner ($16)---Be sure to subscribe and review us on Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/Gloss_AngelesListen to us on Stitcher and Spotify, too!Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/Gloss_AngelesShop all of our product lists: http://www.shopstyle.com/shop/GlossAngelesShop Kirbie’s stash: https://www.shopstyle.com/shop/Kirbie-JohnsonShop Sara’s stash: https://www.shopstyle.com/shop/saratanGloss Angeles is co-hosted by Kirbie Johnson and Sara Tan.

5 Ingredients We Typically Avoid in Skin Care Products

Our job is to try everything at least once, but that doesn't mean we don't pump the breaks when it comes to certain ingredients. We've learned over time what our skin can withstand, and we notice patterns when it comes to how our skin reacts to specific ingredients. Is it the ingredient itself, or how it's formulated? Consider this episode your roadmap — by no means are we saying all products with these ingredients are bad, but if you find your skin is breaking out, overly sensitive or has developed an adverse reaction to a certain product, this can help you narrow down a possible culprit.---Thank you to our presenting sponsor, HUM Nutrition!Glow Sweet Glow ($25)What's on Your Face? Kirbie: In Common Beauty Hair System ($105)Sara: NÉCESSAIRE The Body Exfoliator ($30)NÉCESSAIRE The Sex Gel ($20)References:Effects of Biotin - Into the GlossAre Essential Oils Safe for the Skin? - Women's Health UKWhat Coconut Oil to Avoid if You Don't Want to Break Out - POPSUGAR---Be sure to subscribe and review us on Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/Gloss_AngelesListen to us on Stitcher and Spotify, too!Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/Gloss_AngelesShop all of our product lists: http://www.shopstyle.com/shop/GlossAngelesShop Kirbie’s stash: https://www.shopstyle.com/shop/Kirbie-JohnsonShop Sara’s stash: https://www.shopstyle.com/shop/saratanGloss Angeles is co-hosted by Kirbie Johnson and Sara Tan.
