If you’ve listened to Gloss Angeles long enough, you know we love attributing everything from our work ethic to our penchant for luxury to being Capricorns. This week, we’re joined by astrologer, author, and Astrolotea podcast host Aliza Kelly to help us make sense of astrology in 2026. We get into how social media has transformed astrology—for better and worse—whether birth charts can actually help relationships, and what Gemini season means for beauty, wellness, and self-improvement. Then, Aliza puts our charts under the microscope to reveal what makes us so fascinated by beauty and Hollywood before giving every zodiac sign a cosmic forecast for summer and the rest of the year.

This week, we’re joined by beauty industry disruptor and Trinny London founder Trinny Woodall. After two decades on television, Trinny launched her namesake beauty brand at 53 with a mission to help women—especially those 40+—feel confident, radiant, and seen. We talk about why she believes “anti-aging” is the wrong conversation entirely, how beauty needs evolve as we age, and what inspired her to create a brand specifically designed for women who have long felt overlooked by the industry. Trinny also opens up about tweakment transparency, the data-driven technology behind Match2Me, and why she believes confidence, energy, and joy are the real secrets to looking good at any age.

This week, Sara surprises Kirbie with the ultimate LA luxury: a VIP valet parking card for Westfield Century City — because nothing says we’ve made it like avoiding the Century City parking structure. Then, we dive into the rise of “zombie filler,” aka injectable volume treatments made from donated cadaver fat, and unpack why clinics are suddenly obsessed with it, who’s getting it (from faces to BBLs), and the ethical and medical concerns experts are already raising. Could this be the future of aesthetics or is the beauty industry moving wayyyy too fast? Plus, we discuss Olivia Jade’s new beauty brand O.Piccola, why a single bronzer-highlight stick might actually make sense for her brand, and whether consumers are ready to separate the founder from the scandal that made her famous.

This week, we’re getting into everything we’ve been doing in the name of beauty—treatments, tweaks, and… stem cells?!Sara kicks things off with a full rundown of her recent visit to the new Things We Do location in West Hollywood, where she tried Sculptra, Skinvive, and PRFM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix). What is PRFM, how is it different from PRP, and why is everyone talking about it right now? Then, Kirbie shares her experience with a next-gen peel from Australian brand UltraCeuticals that she’s eager to see the results of.And finally: we both took things to the next level with Acorn Bio Labs at Facile—yes, we did stem cell retrieval. We’re breaking down what it is, why we did it, and what this could mean for the future of beauty (more to come here…).In news, we’re talking about Susan Yara’s new-ish brand launch: Playa. (Sound familiar? There's a reason.) What can we expect? We’re breaking it down. 

We’re joined by Deepica Mutyala, the creator-turned-founder who built Live Tinted into one of the most culturally impactful brands at Ulta Beauty. We get into her founder routine, the early audience insights that gave her an edge before “creator-founder” was even a term, and why nailing the complexion category is so important to her. We also talk hero products (is it Huestick or Hueguard?), unexpected hits and misses, and what it really takes to stand out on shelves at Ulta. Plus, Deepica shares her honest take on whether beauty has actually become more inclusive or just better at marketing it—and how she keeps Live Tinted grounded in its mission as it scales.
