GlowJob Podcast

K-Beauty isn’t just back—it’s having a full-blown renaissance. In this episode of GlowJob, Julia and Sasa take you from the ingredient-driven first-wave of K-Beauty to the bigger and better second wave. 

We break down how retailers like Sephora and Ulta are fighting for the hottest Korean imports, why Beauty of Joseon sunscreen broke the internet, and what makes these products so damn affordable (spoiler: not just cheap thrills). Joining us is beauty industry legend Michelle Lee, former Editor-in-Chief of Allure and now the force behind K-Beauty World, who spills insider tea on how Korean brands are rewriting the rules of beauty retail in America.

Whether you’re already a toner-flooding fanatic or just sheet-mask curious, this episode is your crash course in K-Beauty 2.0—where glass skin meets global domination.

In this week’s ChitChat, GlowJob breaks down the biggest moves shaking beauty. From KKR’s $528M acquisition of Korean packaging giant Samhwa to the jaw-dropping launch of Sincerely Yours by 15-year-old Salish Matter (and her 80,000-fan pop-up), the episode dives into generational shifts in beauty buying. Julia & Sasa discuss Europe’s gel manicure ban, Nudestix’s recent acquisition, and the leadership shake-up at Glossier with Colin Walsh stepping in as CEO. Finally, they unpack Estee Lauder’s billion-dollar science push and what it means for the future of beauty innovation.

In this BroJob episode, we sit down with Joey Scandizzo — four-time Australian Hairdresser of the Year and co-creative director of ELEVEN Australia. From dropping out of school at 15 to building a global haircare brand, Joey shares how he turned a Saturday salon gig into a full-blown empire. We talk the origin of ELEVEN’s cult-favorite Miracle Hair Treatment, why he only shampoos once a week, and his take on the skinification of hair.

Of course, we roast Joey’s very minimalist skincare routine (think: water and moisturizer) and push him toward sunscreen. He dishes on why conditioner is non-negotiable, how scalp care = skin care, and which hair trends he wishes would disappear forever (spoiler: mullets, goodbye). Plus, he reveals the weirdest client requests he’s ever had — including turning someone’s head into a tennis ball.

And because it’s BroJob, we couldn’t resist a little chaos: Joey goes head-to-head in our beauty tool guessing game, samples Vegemite and Tim Tams with us, and even rethinks his own routine by the end of the episode. If you’ve ever wondered whether sea salt spray actually works, if your guy really needs conditioner, or just want a laugh with one of the industry’s best — this one’s for you.

GlowJob called it first– Science Washing is the new greenwashing. From collagen wraps to exosome facials, brands are hijacking scientific jargon to sell you on the hype. Julia and Sasa cut through the BS and spotlight which scientific beauty advancements are real (DNA repair enzymes, NAD, biotech delivery systems) and which are just smoke and mirrors.

We map out the red flag buzzwords, call out the biggest beauty offenders, and tell you where to actually put your money—and where to keep your wallet shut.

Get hotter and smarter. Save this, send it to your best friend, and tell us a brand that owes us a lab report 👀🔬

Ever wondered what really goes into that $100 serum on your shelf or what brands DON’T tell you about that “clinically approved” label slapped on your products? In this week’s GlowJob, we sit down with Krupa Koestline— cosmetic chemist, pioneer in “Clean Beauty”, and founder of KKT Labs, to unpack the beauty industry from the inside out.

Krupa reveals the shocking truth about product costs (spoiler: that $50 serum probably costs $5 to make), why vitamin C might be the most overhyped ingredient in skincare, and the underrated actives she actually swears by. We get into clean beauty versus fear-mongering, loopholes in U.S. ingredient labeling, and the real difference between dermatologist-tested and chemist-approved.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s really behind that influencer-backed launch, this episode will blow your mind—and maybe your bathroom shelf.

In this week’s News Roundup, GlowJob co-hosts Julia and Sasa dive into the rollercoaster world of beauty business and trends. From massive layoffs at legacy beauty giants (Esteé Lauder, Shiseido, Coty) to biotech investments, wild nanoplastic detox treatments, and the $160 Louis Vuitton lipstick launch, the duo breaks down what’s real, what’s hype, and what’s straight-up bananas. Plus, they weigh in on Pinterest’s trend predictions for 2025—yes, grunge makeup is back, and so are pixie cuts (but beware: if someone tells you to get one, they might be your enemy).

GlowJob's Julia and Sasa sit down with Yu-Chen Shih, founder of Orcé Cosmetics. From growing up in Singapore to navigating mismatched foundations at every makeup counter, Yu-Chen shares how those frustrations fueled her mission to build a brand that actually sees Asian skin.

She gets candid about the roadblocks—VCs telling her the Asian market was “too small,” chemists who only wanted to copy Sephora’s bestsellers—and the breakthrough moments, like Michelle Yeoh wearing Orcé on the red carpet. The conversation dives deep into beauty inclusivity, undertones beyond “yellow,” and the challenges of bootstrapping in an influencer-driven economy.
