What is Tarte’s Strategy, Exactly?

Pati Dubroff is one of the most in-demand makeup artists of our time. Getting her start taking side jobs at MTV's House of Style to assisting Francois Nars, Pati always envisioned herself making up faces. From Margot Robbie to Cindy Crawford, she's adored by stars and brands alike. She's currently a Chanel makeup artist — a coveted job — and in the last year you've seen her work during iconic beauty moments like the Barbie press tour and Sofia Richie's wedding. Pati joins us to give us an incredible rundown of what's on her face, what she learned early in her career, how Margot Robbie really is that amazing, what we don't realize as beauty consumers, and the five things she'd never do as a makeup artist.Shop Pati's picksWatch our episodes!GlossAngelesPod.comCALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Join our Slack to try new products before they launchJoin our FB GroupInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Several big news items to discuss this week: we’re hosting a live episode of the pod at Beautycon this year! And we’ve got a discount code on tickets. Use GLOSSPOD for 25% off! We’ll be announcing our special guest next week. Cassandra Grey bought back Violet Grey after Farfetch acquired it (and shortly after dissolved their beauty sector). We dive into why we’re excited to see it back in her hands. But the biggest news of the week revolves around Tarte, Hermes bracelets, and gifting etiquette. We’re genuinely confused about the brand's current social strategy — even as beauty editors, we rarely know what product is being launched or promoted, as most of the discussion online tends to stem from their unsavory antics. Extravagant press trips and designer gifts are great, but is it getting the brand the return they desire?

It’s an Amazon surprise! We kick off the episode by reviewing some of the most viral Amazon beauty finds including the buzzy TirTir cushion foundation and a collagen sheet mask that’s supposed to transform your skin overnight. Sabrina Carpenter and her hair have officially been spoken for — we discuss the major haircare brand that’s secured the “Taste” singer as their ambassador. And lastly — why isn’t anyone talking about MAC? That’s the question Joolz Lebron is asking, but is she right? Kirbie and Sara share their thoughts on the legacy makeup brand and why they think people may not be talking about them as much as other brands. Shop this episodeWatch our episodes!GlossAngelesPod.comCALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Join our Slack to try new products before they launchJoin our FB GroupInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Wende Zomnir is someone we consider a beauty titan on Gloss Angeles: she co-founded the longstanding cosmetics brand Urban Decay in the '90s, and after selling to L'Oreal and leaving the brand herself, she launched another one: inspired by her passion for the beach, surfing and sustainability, Caliray was born, Wende has a wealth of knowledge about the industry, so we're thrilled to have her on the pod. She shares how Urban Decay was born at a time where brands weren't a dime a dozen, her thoughts on the Naked palette resurrection, what Urban was doing before any other makeup brand, and what she thinks matters most to consumers when it comes to products. Plus, how she keeps the "dirty minds" alive with Caliray and how her second brand differs from her first. She also reveals the product she'd like to see revived in our Misscontinued segment.Shop this episodeWatch our episodes!GlossAngelesPod.comCALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Join our Slack to try new products before they launchJoin our FB GroupInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Is your passport photo too hot? If it is, you might be stopped by TSA during your next international adventure. Kirbie and Sara are discussing why so many people have been having security issues due to their gorgeous pics. We’re also covering the latest shade range drama, which fortunately has a happy ending: Golloria’s review of the Rhode Pocket Blush shades, which resulted in Hailey Bieber making up for their mistakes. Lastly, if you’re curious what’s going to be big in beauty for fall, we’re analyzing the latest trend report published by Pinterest. We dive in, from bow nails to baddie makeup.

Are you even a beauty brand in 2024 if you haven’t launched a powder? That’s how it seems lately when you walk into any Sephora or Ulta. However, this explosion of new powders may be the reason why one beloved product has suddenly changed its formula. The powder in question? Givenchy’s Prisme Libre. Kirbie and Sara test the OG version versus the new one to see how it’s changed. But fear not, they also tested two popular formulas that have old Prisme Libre fans breathing a sigh of relief. Speaking of Sephora, Kirbie treated Sara to a “Sephora Surprise” (new segment?!). It involves a lot of Prada à la our girl Sabrina Carpenter. #Taste. We're also sharing a newly launched hair rinse that has our strand shiny as hell.

If you've been on TikTok, you've likely seen many videos of people traveling from all over the world to Turkey to participate in their abundance of medical tourism. Kirbie and Sara recently discovered several people they knew — men, in particular — had traveled overseas to get a hair transplant, and they knew it had to be discussed on the pod. Joining as today's guest is Cuit Gonzalez, who traveled last December to Turkey to get his own. What did it cost? How did the screening process go? What does a hair transplant entail in 2024? Did it hurt? And what made him feel comfortable traveling abroad, alone, after only speaking with doctors online? Cuit goes into all the details in today's ep.
