This ain’t Texas, but we’re going country over here on Gloss Angeles today. If you’ve listened to Cowboy Carter or scrolled through TikTok and heard someone singing about “buckle bunnies,” you have definitely heard Tanner Adell’s beautiful voice. She lent her talents to Beyonce’s emotional cover of Blackbird and while her star was already on the rise before being sprinkled with Bey’s magic, there’s no denying she’s a superstar now. Lucky for us, Tanner joined the pod to share her story, like the challenges she faces as a Black woman in the country music industry and how she found her personal style in the genre. A beauty girl at heart, Tanner also spilled the tried-and-true products she relies on for her glam and her dreams of collaborating with brands like Prada, Fenty Beauty, and Disney. Plus, her new single Whiskey Blues is out today — so after the episode, go stream it! Shop Tanner's picksGlossAngelesPod.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.

Not listening to Cowboy Carter on repeat? Can’t relate! We kick things off with an appreciation for Bey’s new album and Miss Dolly Parton’s surprise appearance.

On the news front, we discuss some big headlines: e.l.f. Cosmetics’ sold-out collaboration with canned beverage brand Liquid Death, the race between Rare Beauty and Glossier to IPO or sell, and Fast Company’s most innovative beauty companies of 2024. 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.

The world of niche fragrances is booming and one brand leading the category is Brown Girl Jane — the first Black woman-owned fine fragrance brand to launch at Sephora! The line of fine perfumes focuses on “scent for wellness,” knowing that scent has the proven ability to affect us on a psychological level. Malaika Jones, co-founder and CEO, joins us to share how they leveraged clinical studies that measured brain activity when smelling different scents, why “Z-alphas” are obsessed with fragrance, how social media made buying a scent without smelling it the norm, and the trend she thinks will rise this year.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.

Heard of "doping" when it comes to SPF? Today you'll learn all about it. Sunscreen is the most important step in your morning skincare routine, but there's still so much confusion around it, as well as challenges brands have to overcome in the US that prohibits us from having more sophisticated UV filters. Sophie Bai, biomedical engineer, cancer drug developer and the founder/CEO of Pavise is our guest today, discussing those challenges in sunscreen development and regulation, the classification of sunscreen as a drug, mislabeling of sunscreens, inaccurate SPF claims, flaws in broad spectrum testing, and what separates Pavise Dynamic Age Defense SPF 30 from other sunscreens.
