Hey Drama Army! Just popping into your feeds with a little taste of a brand-new show we recently launched on the Kind Regards Network: Spill the Gloss, hosted by beauty YouTube OG, internet trailblazer, and one of Australia’s very first full-time creators, Chloe Morello.

Spill the Gloss is where the ring light gets switched off, and the real stories begin. Each episode, Chloe pulls back the curtain on the beauty industry, influencer culture, and life online — unpacking the fame, friendships, fallout, and the not-so-glamorous realities of growing up on the internet before there were rules, boundaries, or protections.

In this episode, “THE OGs with Lauren Curtis (Part 1)”, Chloe is joined by fellow beauty pioneer Lauren Curtis for a reunion more than a decade in the making. Together, they rewind to the golden age of beauty YouTube — from million-view videos, luxury brand trips, and outrageous paydays, to the darker side of early influencer fame.

They get brutally honest about being taken advantage of by the media, the pressure to grow up fast in the public eye, navigating friendship and rivalry in a brand-new industry, and building careers without a roadmap while the internet watched their every move. It’s nostalgic, raw, and wildly eye-opening — the kind of conversation you only get when two OGs finally tell the truth with zero filters.

If you were around for early beauty YouTube, ever dreamed of brand trips, or have wondered what really happens behind the scenes of influencer fame, this episode is an absolute must-listen.
