Susan Yara joins us for the second time (first time in person!) and we cover a lot of ground: her new podcast My Life Online with Susan Yara, how her life has changed since e.l.f. acquired Naturium in 2023, and her new single status. Plus, she gives her $0.02 on several beauty headlines, from tablet beauty to Pat McGrath’s product strategy and the 40+ makeup movement. She also shares more about Naturium’s latest launch: a rich moisturizer that rivals more expensive options.

  • 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
