GlowJob Podcast

GlowJob is the pop culture and business podcast that makes you hotter and smarter. Hosted by best friends Julia Bellary and Sasa Li, GlowJob covers the internet trends, celebrity news, brand drama, and cultural moments shaping how we live, spend, and think — from viral TikTok controversies and influencer culture to billion-dollar business moves and the conversations everyone's having right now. Funny, data-driven, and unapologetically candid, Julia and Sasa break it all down twice a week — a Monday culture debrief and Thursday deep dives you didn't know you needed.

  1. VOR 1 TAG

    We Tested Every Dupe So You Don't Have To (Trader Joe's, Ulta & More)

    Dupes aren't underground anymore — they're a full business strategy. This week, Julia and Sasa dive deep into the dupe economy: what a dupe actually is in 2026 (hint: it's more than just a cheaper lookalike), how Trader Joe's quietly became one of the biggest beauty dupe players in the game, and which drugstore and mid-range products genuinely hold up against their high-end counterparts. They test 10 product matchups live — from Rhode vs Bubble to Drunk Elephant vs a $7 Trader Joe's oil — and rate each dupe out of 10. Spoiler: one gets a perfect score.

  2. Your Boss Wants You Addicted

    VOR 4 TAGEN

    Your Boss Wants You Addicted

    The beauty industry is going through a major shakeup. This week on GlowJob's News Roundup, we break down why Pat McGrath Labs is being shopped for sale after its billion-dollar peak, and why Gen Z acne brand Starface just raised $105M despite already being profitable. We also unpack Saks’ $1B bankruptcy loan and what its vendor payment crisis could mean for the future of department store beauty. Beyond the business headlines, we get into the culture shaping the industry right now — from the return of ultra-thin celebrity body trends to the surprising rise of Zyn nicotine pouches in tech offices, where companies are reportedly offering them as a workplace perk as nicotine gets rebranded as a productivity “biohack.” Plus: biotech K-beauty entering Sephora, Summer Fridays launching fragrance, Wizard Wellness (new allergy-meets-beauty brand at Ulta), and the Lipstick Lesbians launching a consumer-driven beauty incubator. --------   Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram  Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Shop My Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.

    Skincare Lies You’ve Been Falling For: The Truth About Beauty Claims

    Skincare marketing is full of bold promises — “clinically proven,” “boosts collagen,” “clean beauty,” “dermatologist tested.” But what do those claims actually mean? In this episode of GlowJob, we decode the beauty industry’s biggest marketing buzzwords and explain what brands are legally allowed to say… and what they absolutely cannot. We break down the difference between cosmetics and drugs, explain how the FDA and FTC regulate skincare, and reveal why so many claims live in a gray area. You’ll also learn: Why “clinically tested” is often pay-to-play Why clean beauty has no legal definition The truth behind dermatologist-tested claims How brands manipulate before-and-after photos Why consumer perception studies can be misleading Plus, we dive into real cases where major beauty brands got into trouble with regulators — including L’Oréal, Maybelline, Sunday Riley, Ulta, and Mario Badescu. If you’ve ever wondered whether skincare claims are legit or just marketing spin, this episode is your skincare BS translator. -------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram  Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Shop My Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.

    Looksmaxxing Is Rotting Men

    This week on GlowJob, @saltlacroix is back and we’re diving headfirst into the viral rise of “looksmaxxing” culture — from Clavicular’s bone-smashing and crystal meth confessions to the broader male optimization movement taking over TikTok. We unpack: • What looksmaxxing actually is and how it emerged from incel forums • Clavicular’s supplement stack (testosterone, Accutane microdosing, melanotan, peptides) • Bone smashing, lantern chins, mogging — and the eugenics undertones • The rise of hyper-online male beauty standards • Why straight men struggle with skincare culture • Rage baiting, influencer controversy, and the Pat McGrath backlash • Celebrity obsession, K-pop fandom economics, and algorithm addiction • Catfishing, dating apps, and modern masculinity From male gaze vs female gaze to nihilism, algorithm-driven outrage, and the collapse of nuance online — this episode is a cultural autopsy. Beauty is business. Business is power. And the internet is warping both. -------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram  Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Shop My Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.

    Would you go on an AI Date?

    This week’s GlowJob News Roundup covers the biggest shifts in the beauty industry — from collapsing legacy brands to luxury expansion and AI disrupting relationships. Drunk Elephant is facing a 65% sales decline under Shiseido after the Sephora kids controversy damaged its brand perception. The once-viral skincare brand has wiped its Instagram and is attempting a reset — but can Drunk Elephant recover? Glossier has laid off one-third of its workforce, raising serious questions about whether the DTC beauty model is over. Is Sephora now essential for survival? We also break down: Cardi B launching Grow Good Beauty and the surge of celebrity haircare brands Hermès officially entering the luxury skincare market Estee Lauder suing Walmart over counterfeit beauty products Ron Lauder being named 900+ times in newly released Epstein files Casey Wasserman stepping back amid Epstein-related fallout The rise of AI dating cafés in New York City OpenAI controversy over adding romantic AI companion features to ChatGPT Sol de Janeiro’s Ulta-exclusive fragrance launch and Gen Z strategy From celebrity beauty brands to luxury skincare expansion, from counterfeit marketplaces to AI girlfriend apps, this episode explores how beauty, business, and technology are colliding in 2026. Beauty is business. Business is power. And power always leaves a paper trail. -------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram  Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Shop My Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.

    Is NAD just for Tech Bros?

    Is NAD the next true breakthrough in skincare…or just another longevity buzzword? This week on GlowJob, we sit down with Melisse Shaban, CEO of Aramore and former beauty executive at Revlon, Aveda, The Body Shop, Virtue Labs, and L Catterton, to unpack the real science behind NAD, cellular energy, and why longevity is not a trend — it’s a cultural shift. We cover: What NAD actually is (and why your body depends on it) Why skin is a proxy for internal health Science-washing vs real biotechnology in skincare Why topical NAD is different from IV drips and supplements How longevity intersects with muscle, hormones, sleep, and brain health Longevity isn’t about looking 25. It’s about living strong at 85. Beauty is business. Health is power. And longevity starts at the cellular level. -------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram  Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Shop My Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.   GlowJob™ goes beyond the headlines to unpack the business and culture driving the world’s most influential industry… beauty.

We break down Peter Thomas Roth appearing in newly released Epstein files and what reputational risk really means for founder-led skincare brands in today’s consumer economy. When the founder is the brand, can you separate personal scandal from brand trust?
