Why Have Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sales Gotten Worse?

If you’re debating whether to ask for a Dyson Airwrap or a Shark Flexstyle this holiday season, you’re going to want to listen to this episode. We talk about the differences between the two, plus Kirbie’s personal reviews of each. We’re also diving into some interesting beauty news: First up, are veneers the new boobs? The Cut pondered this recently after being distracted by big, beautiful grins on The Golden Bachelor. We go into the “tooth” of it all. Next: Should men’s skincare be its own category? This question comes after the news that male-focused brand Disco announced it was filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy after raising $8 million in funding.

Are Mini Products a Massive Problem?

Happy almost Thanksgiving, Glams! We are so thankful for each and every single one of you for tuning in week after week and indulging us as we wax poetic about our favorite beauty products and discuss insane news like what US Representative George Santos could’ve bought at Sephora using campaign funds. That’s on today’s episode agenda, in addition to an analysis of Beauty of Fashion correspondent Liz Flora’s latest story on why beauty minis are everywhere right now. Kirbie shares her experience attending beauty’s most inspiring night: the L’Oreal Paris Women of Worth Dinner, where 10 women were honored with $25,000 grants to help support their nonprofits; Sara shares why Chanel’s new serum is nearly $1000 and recounts her time in Paris with the brand perusing the Chanel archives. We are not sharing a Black Friday/Cyber Monday doc as we have in the past, but check out some of our favorite roundups for recommendations on what to shop. And don’t forget to call the hotline or leave a comment to share what you’ll be buying during these sales!   Shop this episodeL’Oreal Women of Worth Honoreeshttps://www.refinery29.com/en-us/black-friday-beauty-deals https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/dyson-black-friday-cyber-monday-deals https://www.allure.com/black-friday-cyber-monday-2023GlossAngelesPod.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.comWatch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Behind-the-Scenes of Taylor Swift's First Magazine Cover (And More Epic Stories) With Editor/Founder Kelly Atterton

What happens when you've been in the beauty industry for almost 30 years? You have epic stories to share. Kelly Atterton joins us to share what it was like being a beauty editor in the early aughts of magazine publishing — in addition to working at Vanity Fair and Vogue, she served as Allure's Senior West Coast Editor for 17 years under the helm of Linda Wells. Kelly shares an epic WOYF detailing all of the best products she uses, shares about her come-up in an industry where she had no relationships outside of people she met working as a retail associate, and how insane of an experience it was working in publishing before the rise of social media. She also has an incredible story about how she played a part in getting Taylor Swift her first magazine cover. Kelly just launched Rile, a skin + body brand for young teens, that we think even the Glams will be excited about.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.comWatch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Could New Cosmetic Regulation Curb Eye Product Launches? With Lexy Lebsack

We have several fascinating stories about the beauty industry to dive into today, so Kirbie invited Glossy's West Coast Correspondent Lexy Lebsack to the show to share her reporting on three key topics: MoCRA's impact on regulating the beauty industry and why we may see less eye products launch as a result, how Prop 65 turned to be a nail in the coffin for several beauty brands, and why owning your formulas is the latest crusade founders are focused on.

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.comWatch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

An Affordable Goop Beauty Brand, Katie Jane Hughes Launches a Brand and More Headlines

Kirbie and Sara reminisce on a dreamy week on the annual Unilever trip, which made its way to Santa Monica this year. The trip brings beauty editors across dozens of publications together to learn about new launches and innovations from brands like Dove, Tresemmé, Nexxus and more. Kirbie details the amazing Abhyanga massage she received at the gorgeous Surya spa, a must-visit if you're ever in Los Angeles. We then have our first WOYF in a while, and it's a double-WOYF — Katie Jane Hughes launched her brand in September and the first product is a de-LITE. In news, Gwyneth Paltrow announced she wants to appeal to the general public and will launch her brand good.clean.goop at both Amazon and Target so everyone can get a piece of the goop pie — will you try it, Glams? And lastly, we dissect the real reason Britney shaved her head, which was actually discussed on this podcast several years ago, long before Britney was out of her conservatorship and her tell-all came out.

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." Elizabeth lost her grandmother to the cancer and was asked by Evelyn Lauder, daugther-in-law to the Estée Lauder herself, to participate as the Global Ambassador for The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign, which she has served as for the last 28 years. She shares how this has become a diverse cancer and how some types of breast cancer affect certain demographics more than others (and why research is so important for this reason), how it's affecting women at a younger age more than ever before, and why early detection is crucial. She also shares some of her favorite beauty products and discusses whether or not she feels the tabloids were worse in the '90s or now.This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, help fund lifesaving breast cancer research by sharing a photo or video using the hashtag #TimeToEndBreastCancer. For every public, in-feed Instagram post featuring #TimetoEndBreastCancer, Estée Lauder Companies will donate $25 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, up to $75,000, through October 31, 2023. 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.comWatch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
