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.

Kirbie and Sara are discussing why so many people have been having security issues due to their gorgeous pics.

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.

We’re back with another update on Blake Lively, but this time, we’re not just talking about her new haircare brand Blake Brown: we’re discussing the drama surrounding her new movie ‘It Ends With Us’ and co-star Justin Baldoni. Kirbie breaks down the TikTok theories. In the last year, we’ve seen so many celebrity haircare brands launch, from Beyoncé to Blake. We’re giving our quick mini reviews/first impressions. Lastly, we’re sharing your picks for the brands who are winning 2024 so far!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.

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.

Your favorite Black-owned brand may quietly close this year — that's what Oui the People founder Karen Young shared with her followers a few weeks ago. In 2020, the beauty industry underwent a revolution of sorts. Black-owned brands became a much-needed albeit long overdue priority. Movements like Pull Up For Change encouraged brands to share what percentage of their business employed Black workers, and many brands whose focus specifically highlighted Black skin were launched, supported and celebrated.However, in the last year, we’ve seen a wave of hurdles coming for Black-owned businesses and DEI initiatives. We’re seeing it in other industries as well: top Chief Diversity Officers at top entertainment companies were said to be “leaving their jobs” last year in a Wall Street Journal story titled “The Rise and Fall of the Chief Diversity Officer.” It was recently reported that thirteen lune, a retailer that highlights minority-owned brands, owed thousands of dollars to brands under its umbrella and their partner JC Penney was restructuring the partnership as a result. And the Fearless Fund, the Black women-owned venture capital firm backing early-stage businesses owned by women of color, including the beauty and wellness brands like Brown Girl Jane, Live Tinted, Bread Beauty Supply and more was indefinitely barred from deploying a program last year that doles out $20,000 grants to Black female entrepreneurs. Karen joins us to share what Black founders are up against and what we can do to help support some of our favorite 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.
