PSA: Do not use coconut oil in place of sunscreen. But you already knew that if you’re a true Glamgeleno. We had to state the obvious since it has come to our attention that Kristin Cavallari promoting false (and dangerous!) sun safety practices on her podcast. We have some words about it. We also discuss the proposed bill banning the sale of anti-aging skin care to anyone under 13 in California. How will this bill be enforced? And what impact will it have on ingredients like retinoids and acids that are used to treat acne in teens? Plus: Mandy Moore’s hair in ‘A Walk to Remember’ and Taylor Swift's latest album, including a track that takes a jab at one Ms. Kim Kardashian.

We kick off the episode with a very important (and divisive) question — do you shower with the lights on or off? It had never occurred to Kirbie and Sara that people bathed in darkness, but apparently that is a thing people do. How do you see what you’re grabbing for and what about the monsters? We discuss. Then, MOB Beauty co-founders Victor Casale and Alicia Gallagher join the convo to discuss the extremely exciting news that they’re recreating the original shade of MAC Spice, the same one Victor created for the beauty brand in the late 1980s. Listen in to hear the painstaking process he went through to ensure it was the exact color as the original and get ready for the lauch of M1990 on 4/17!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.

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.

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.

Be advised: this episode discusses several aspects of plastic surgery. Please skip this episode if you’re not in a headspace to listen to this conversation. This week, Kirbie’s Allure story on the “right” age for a facelift was published. To go further into this conversation, we invited one of Kirbie’s sources for the story, Dr. Cat Chang, onto the pod. Dr. Chang is a board-certified, quadruple Ivy League plastic and reconstructive surgeon. She’s answering a bunch of questions, like why people are reversing procedures that were popular the past 5-10 years, why there’s been an uptick in facial plastic surgery, the consequences of filler long-term, why Botox is her preferred neuromodulator, and what you need to know if you’re considering a facelift. Shop this episode GlossAngelesPod.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.
