November 13, 2020 The Science of Beauty (and Making a Career Out It) with Allure's Michelle Lee and Jenny Bailly
If you’re a beauty lover (which you obviously are since you listen to this podcast) then you’re likely an avid reader of Allure, too, like us. That’s why this episode is extra special — we’ve got Allure’s editor in chief, Michelle Lee, and Allure’s executive beauty director, Jenny Bailly BOTH on the podcast! Michelle and Jenny lead the incredible editorial team at Allure, bringing us the best in beauty journalism both in print and digital, and now through podcasts.

During our conversation, the two share what it’s been like running a website and magazine remotely during this pandemic, their respective career paths and how they ended up in beauty, and, of course, their most interesting beauty tips. Michelle and Jenny also talk to us about Allure: The Science of Beauty, a podcast they recently launched that explores the link between science and beauty. In each episode, they do a deep dive with an expert into a specific beauty topic, demystifying questions you’ve always wondered like what a wrinkle actually is and whether or not pores can open and close. If you like our episodes where we dissect a specific ingredient or topic, then you’ll love The Science of Beauty. Be sure to give it a listen!

November 10, 2020 Is the Manicure Dead? (Spoiler Alert: It's Not. Here's Why.)
Big news today: SARA'S BACK! Our resident Hot Mom is making her grand return to Gloss Angeles and we have a ton of a ground to cover. First of all, we've all been thirsty for newscasters. Does anyone have Chris Cuomo's information? (We kid... kind of.) Kirbie bought some goodies at the Sephora sale including a fragrance everyone needs to get this winter because it's like capturing the scent of a burning match... but in a good way. It was hard to see past all the Election coverage, but one New York Times article managed to cause a huge fuss: Is This the End of the Manicure? pissed off a bunch of people and Kirbie has some thoughts. Then we talk about a ton products we're loving right now, like a tinted moisturizer that's got everyone raving, a hyperpigmentation gel that smells odd but works like a charm, a tattoo artist's venture into the beauty realm, a baby lotion that Sara's been using on herself, and an app that's helped take down Kirbie's stress levels. Check out the ep and then visit our website for all the links your heart desires.

October 30, 2020 Hocus Pocus Behind-the-Scenes Stories With SFX Makeup Artist Tony Gardner
Today is our Halloween episode! Halloween and Hocus Pocus are synonymous with each other, and if you grew up watching the 1993 classic, chances are it has a special place in your heart. Hocus Pocus is one of Kirbie's top 5 favorite films, and today's guest is the creator of Billy Butcherson's incredible special effects makeup and the animatronic puppet, Binx the cat.

Special effects makeup artist and puppeteer Tony Gardner's story is truly what movies are made of. He’s known for his SFX makeup work in film, tv and music videos, including Zombieland, Bad Grandpa, 127 Hours, Hairspray and Sasha Baron Cohen’s ‘Who is America.’ He’s transformed stars like John Travolta, Gwyneth Paltrow and Katy Perry and is the man responsible for Daft Punk’s incredible helmets. Today he joins us because of his work on some fabulous Halloween films, from The Addams Family to The Blob, The Craft to the Chucky series, and of course, Hocus Pocus.

Today he shares his first experience on set (which is nothing short of iconic), talks about getting a job offer from legendary SFX makeup artist Rick Baker, dropping out of school to follow his dreams, debunking some myths about the movie, the makeup and filming process for Binx and Billy, and even offers a preview of what we can expect from Hulaween, the mini Hocus Pocus reunion Bette Midler is putting on tonight for the New York Restoration Project.

All details on Tony, his company Alterian and Hulaween will be available on our website for you to check out, and be sure to head to our Instagram to see some behind the scenes pics too! Enjoy the full moon this weekend, stay safe, and Happy Halloween!

October 27, 2020 British vs. American Trends, Hair Loss and Discussing Two Big Brand Launches With Emma Guns
Today's guest is probably no stranger to you, especially if you consume a lot of beauty podcasts. Emma Guns is a beauty, health and lifestyle writer, presenter and brand consultant. She created the The Emma Guns Show in April 2016 and has amassed over 8 million downloads of the podcast since. Kirbie was thrilled to have her as a guest co-host because of her expertise in the beauty industry and British POV. Emma discusses her experience with alopecia and PCOS, her thoughts on the "clean" beauty movement and the product she sees as "very American." In headlines, two new beauty brands are on the horizon: Jason Wu will launch his eponymous brand in Target come January 2021 and Bobbi Brown (yes, THE Bobbi Brown) has come out of cosmetics retirement to launch a new DTC brand Jones Road Beauty. Then Emma breaks down a few products that you'll surely be *gunning* for (sorry) at the end of her review.

October 20, 2020 Ask a Cosmetic Chemist With BeautyStat Founder Ron Robinson
BeautyStat is a fan favorite here at Gloss Angeles. It's one of those products we trust because it works. The brains behind the brand is Ron Robinson — a man with years of industry experience as a cosmetic chemist. Ron got his start in the industry formulating for brands like Clinique and La Mer; he went on to create successful beauty blog BeautyStat, the namesake of his brand. As our first cosmetic chemist on the show, we asked Ron your burning beauty questions: what's his take on "clean" beauty? Is alcohol in skincare bad? Are waterless products better? And what makes BeautyStat so effective? Enjoy the chat, Glamgelenos! And don't forget to subscribe and rate our podcast if you enjoy episodes like this one.

October 13, 2020 Interviewing Cardi B, Working With Tracee Ellis Ross, and Confronting Medical Racism with Elle.com Beauty Director Chloe Hall
Today we have Elle.com's Beauty Director Chloe Hall as our special guest host! Chloe joins Kirbie to discuss what it was like working with Tracee Ellis Ross on Elle's State of Black Beauty package, interviewing Cardi B., and writing her most recent story about Jessica Florence — a woman who had stage 3 breast cancer but experienced medical racism. We also discuss big news coming out of California: the "Toxic-Free Cosmetics Act" was passed. What does it mean, exactly? And could CheckCosmetics.net be the key to purchasing products from third party retailers like TJ Maxx, Ross and Nordstrom Rack? Plus, Chloe is currently obsessing over a new brand's scalp spray and Kirbie has a rec for a must-have $14 moisturizer for maskne.

October 09, 2020 What Do Car Paint, Insulation and Your Highlighter Have in Common? With Beauty Reporter Lexy Lebsack
What's considered scary in the world of beauty? Counterfeit makeup, how mica is sourced, and an unpredictable chemical that you won't find on an INCI list. Today's episode covers all these topics with guest Lexy Lebsack. Lexy is a correspondent, producer, writer, and editor. She reports on-camera across culture, business, travel, and beauty topics, but is best known for her Webby award-winning docuseries, SHADY, which examines the culture, commerce, and controversy behind the multibillion-dollar beauty and wellness industries and the people it impacts around the world. Her investigations on child labor tied to mica sourcing in rural India by American companies, the dangers of skin bleaching products made in Asia, and the millions of dollars of counterfeit makeup being sold in American cities has been extensively covered and syndicated.

We are thrilled to have her on the podcast today to discuss the SPOOKY side of beauty (in honor of it being October, obviously).
