Dr. Nancy Samolitis — board-certified dermatologist, founder of Facile, and our resident skin expert — is back on the pod to celebrate a major milestone: Facile is now available at Sephora! We kick off with a “What’s on Your Face?” moment, where Dr. Sam shares the products she’s loving right now, then dive into her career journey and the treatments she’s most passionate about. We also answer your questions about lasers (for rosacea, redness, and skin of color), buzzy ingredients, and what we still don’t know about filler. Dr. Sam also shares recs for mature skin, breaks down skincare treatment upsells, and explains what you should be investing in when it comes to taking care of your skin.

Where did WOYF go? We retired the weekly segment a few years ago because we felt it wasn't very conscientious of us to recommend a new product every single week. However, we each have a few products we've been testing and loving to share with you. Plus, we share some of your picks and even a few products you want to deinfluence us from buying! Also, please vote for us in People's Readers' Choice Awards!

It’s finally here: the long-awaited Celebrity Beauty State of the Union. We’re providing wellness checks on everyone’s new favorite cash grab! In all seriousness, celebrity beauty isn’t going anywhere: it’s lucrative — there’s a high chance you have at least one celebrity brand in your stash or at least was put on a waitlist for one. So which brands are thriving? Which won’t be around in 5 years? Which make zero sense? Which are surprisingly popular? We have our thoughts but want to hear yours.

We’re revealing one of our secret weapons today: Giovi, our social media manager and resident Gen Z braintrust, joins us on her first episode of the pod. If you’ve seen anything on our socials, it’s because of Giovi! She’s a brilliant UCSB senior who is passionate about beauty and will be looking for jobs soon in marketing or social media at a brand — so keep her in mind if you’re hiring!

On this week’s episode, Giovi shares her own WOYF (and did so in hopes of influencing the Glams), the brands that she and her friends are obsessed with and the ones that are no longer hitting, if you will. She also shares how she gets her news and who is actually influencing her and her friends to buy something. Then, she chimes in with her thoughts on the week’s headlines: Pat McGrath’s big Louis Vuitton announcement and Mikayla Nogueria’s new brand, POV.

You've likely coveted The Olsens' beachy waves, Dakota Johnson's bangs, or the bold stylings of Christina Aguilera at one point or another. Their looks are attributed to the shear (ha) genius of celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend. Mark made waves of his own working in Hollywood, from assisting Danilo and Sally Hershberger to creating looks for Vanity Fair, The Met Gala, beauty campaigns and countless red carpets. Mark pulls back the curtain to discuss things we really like a know, like how it works when he gets sponsored by a brand but his client is not? Plus: which products The Olsens could have been long-term testers for, the hair products and tools that are unsung heroes in his line of work, and lots more juicy details from his career.

Segments of this episode are sponsored by our friends at K18. As always, we vet and approve all products and brands we promote on the podcast.

If you're looking for thicker, fuller hair, K18 has a new innovation for you to try. But first: Sara went viral last week after reuniting with Justin Bieber after 15 years. Kirbie and Sara got to preview the insanely successful Rhode pop-up store before it opened to the public, Biebs was there, and the rest is history.

Then we reveal the product we've been testing (and teasing) since November: K18 Astrolift! This volumizing spray is humidity-proof, promises to give touchable volume + bounce for up to 2 days, and is buildable and lightweight. But don't take our word for it: several Glamgelenos have been testing Astrolift and we're sharing a few of their reviews, which you can also read for yourself on K18's website!
