Are Mini Products a Massive Problem?

Season 1, Ep. 363

Happy almost Thanksgiving, Glams! We are so thankful for each and every single one of you for tuning in week after week and indulging us as we wax poetic about our favorite beauty products and discuss insane news like what US Representative George Santos could’ve bought at Sephora using campaign funds. That’s on today’s episode agenda, in addition to an analysis of Beauty of Fashion correspondent Liz Flora’s latest story on why beauty minis are everywhere right now. Kirbie shares her experience attending beauty’s most inspiring night: the L’Oreal Paris Women of Worth Dinner, where 10 women were honored with $25,000 grants to help support their nonprofits; Sara shares why Chanel’s new serum is nearly $1000 and recounts her time in Paris with the brand perusing the Chanel archives. We are not sharing a Black Friday/Cyber Monday doc as we have in the past, but check out some of our favorite roundups for recommendations on what to shop. And don’t forget to call the hotline or leave a comment to share what you’ll be buying during these sales!

  • 444. The Products, Trends and Headlines That Ruled 2024

    32:00||Season 1, Ep. 444
    2025 is just around the corner, but before we pop the champagne, we’re looking back at everything that made 2024 unforgettable. Let’s start with the tiny details: it was officially the Year of the Pipsqueak (affectionate), thanks to the powerhouse that is 5-foot-tall Sabrina Carpenter and the larger-than-life, but smaller-than-average cast of Wicked.We’re also revisiting some of the year’s biggest beauty headlines, from the billion dollar trend of Superbowl beauty commercials to the drama surrounding that Givenchy powder scandal. And of course, no year-end wrap-up would be complete without a breakdown of the most viral products of the year, including Milk’s Jelly Tint, every single bronzing drop, and the obsession that was Cherry Cola lips. It’s been a wild ride—let’s relive it all one more time!Shop the trends, products and headlinesWatch our episodes!GlossAngelesPod.comCALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Join our Slack to try new products before they launchJoin our FB GroupInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com

    42:19||Season 1, Ep. 443
    It may be the end of the year, but the drama continues, especially over on TikTok! First, we discuss the controversy surrounding Patrick Ta and influencer Avonna Sunshine, who claimed she wasn’t paid for promoting his beauty products. We chat through Patrick Ta's public apology, the how this issue highlights a bigger one within the creator community, and how the beauty industry can do better.Next, we unravel the viral “Gray Blonde” saga involving a hairstylist, an unhappy client, and what happens when there is a miscommunication. We explore why clear communication and realistic expectations are so crucial when it comes to hair transformations, and why you maybe shouldn't take every personal problem you have to TikTok. And finally, we talk about Lindsay Lohan. Her latest appearance has everyone asking: is it skincare, injectables, or something else? We get into it. Watch our episodes!GlossAngelesPod.comCALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Join our Slack to try new products before they launchJoin our FB GroupInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com
