In this episode, we sit down with Basma Hameed, the inspiring founder of Basma Beauty. After suffering third-degree burns as a child, Hameed turned her personal challenges into a passion for helping others with scars, leading her to open a specialized clinic in Toronto and Beverly Hills and then launch her very own beauty brand. We discuss her journey from patient to practitioner, the innovations she’s pioneered in product development, and why inclusivity is at the heart of Basma Beauty.Shop Basma's 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.

Allure’s annual Best of Beauty list is out! Kirbie and Sara review (some of) the over 300+ list of winners across the categories, including best sheer lipstick to best detergent (yes, there’s even a category for detergent!) We know that the beauty industry is working to be more sustainable, but are they more talk than walk? We unpack a new report from Good On You that claims nearly two thirds of the beauty brands it assessed rated “Not Good Enough,” or worse. What does it really mean? Let’s discuss!

Happy Haunting Season! We’re kicking off the month with some of the spookiest stories from the beauty community.

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.
