The Top Hidden Acne Triggers, Especially For Women

We’ve got an acne masterclass for you, Glams. CLEARSTEM founders Danielle Gronich and Kayleigh Christina join us to talk about the breakouts that follow you well into adulthood and why the usual “just drink more water” advice isn’t cutting it. Danielle shares what she sees with her clients having started San Diego Acne Clinic, Kayleigh breaks down the surprising food and supplement triggers you may not know about, and together they bust the myths that make acne feel so confusing. They even have a nifty ingredient tracker to help!We’re also chatting about their BOUNCEBACK Repair Serum, which 250 of our listeners had the opportunity to test through Gloss Angeles Confidential. They explain the gap it fills, who it’s for, and how they created it.

This week, we kick things off talking about what a joy it was to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and also how weird our Spotify Wrapped was. We bring back WOYF and share a product from a recent guest that’s doing Sara’s skin good and a teeny set of brushes that Kirbie can’t get enough of. Then: what is really going on with asbestos testing in talc products? There’s a lot of misinformation online. We explain what’s actually happening and discuss several nuances related to it. Shop this episodeWatch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Kirbie kicks things off with a full debrief of our favorite pipsqueak herself, Sabrina Carpenter, and her Short n’ Sweet tour! Then we dive into influencer Whitney Wagner Hartley’s “Marked Safe from MAHA” campaign and unpack what MAHA actually is, why it’s tied to anti-vax/anti-science rhetoric, and how her pledge is pushing beauty and wellness brands to publicly reject that messaging and commit to sharing inclusive, science-backed health info instead. Will brands and retailers catch on? Finally, we get into the lash economy: traditional strip lashes and classic black mascara are on the decline, while “ghost lashes,” underlash clusters, lash serums, and skinified formulas are having a moment — plus the rise of tubing, brown, and burgundy/glitter “accent” mascaras that are quietly reshaping what a lash wardrobe looks like in 2025.Watch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

This year, we’re breaking down the deals you really need to hone in on! With rising costs of products, a 20% discount could save you from surging prices due to inflation and keep your gift giving as cost-effective as possible. And many brands are offering more than that. But first, we share a report on the top aesthetic global treatments based search — did the results surprise you? Then, we share a variety of deals from Macy’s on brands like MAC Cosmetics & Kiehl’s, the very useful Hulken bag, Shark and Dyson beauty tools, our favorite towels, a smart steamer, and more.

This episode is full of counterfeit products and dupe talk, Glams! First, we make our plea for Miss Piggy to join us on the pod. We made our Wicked dreams come true, now we just need Miss “Moi” herself to join us. Then, we’ve partnered with the Personal Care Product Council to help keep you from buying fraudulent and potentially dangerous products this holiday season. We know it’s easy to want a good deal, but there are some real red flags to look out for. For the headlines portion of the show, we discuss a new Bloomberg article about MCO Beauty, the Australian beauty brand that’s made a name for itself by copying some of your favorite brands, from packaging design to inspired formulas. Kirbie changed her tune (kind of) after reading the story. And will we be getting better sunscreens in the U.S.? Possibly. We break down the FDA’s update to sunscreen requirements. Watch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Today is a treat because we have founder and product developer Sarah Creal as our guest! You’ve heard us wax poetic about Sarah’s namesake brand, but in this episode you’ll get to learn how influential she truly is in the industry and how the products we use today are largely inspired by her creations. She explains the hardships that come with creating a brand focused on women 40+ and why she felt it was important to launch anyway, the five products she developed that are her holy grails (from Prescriptives to Tom Ford), how she got into the beauty industry with no experience, working with Victoria Beckham, “aging gracefully”, and what luxury means now in beauty. Shop this episodeWatch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Glams, this week we're thrilled to share an episode from IMO’s limited series The Look. In the series, Michelle Obama opens up for the first time about her journey as a defining force in style—both within and beyond the White House. Through candid, intimate conversations with the creative minds behind her hair, makeup, and wardrobe, she reveals how she and her team transformed the scrutiny of her public image into a celebration of self-expression, inclusion, and impact. For many Black women, caring about their hair isn’t a choice – it’s a cultural inheritance, a political statement and a lifelong journey. In this episode, our friend and Beauty Editor-at-Large of Cosmopolitan, Julee Wilson, leads a candid discussion between Michelle, her hairstylist Yene Damtew and Blackish actress Marsai Martin about their personal hair journeys, and and how Michelle’s hair evolution both mirrored and, for some, even inspired their own. You can hear The Look series inside the IMO feed at https://lnk.to/imomichellecraigGS Watch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

We've got a lot of news, Glams. We're starting with the announcement that Diarrha N’Diaye-Mbaye, the founder of Ami Colé, is stepping in as EVP of Beauty & Fragrance at Skims and discussing what that signals for Kim K’s brand (actual shade work + real-skin finishes) and why the internet’s convo about Black women building the culture still matters here. We also break down Dua Lipa x Augustinus Bader’s DUA launch — does this make sense or are you all as confused as we are? — and wrap with perhaps the most controversial launch of Q4 so far: Rini, Shay Mitchell’s K-beauty–inspired line for kids that is promoting "everyday" sheet masks for toddlers. Yikes.
