Scentbird's Founder and Her Problematic Spritual Teachings and Why Kirbie Isn't So Sure About Augustinus Bader
What if we told you a certain founder has claimed the cure for cancer is aligning with your life's purpose and also claims Hitler wasn't evil? Those are just a few truly mind-boggling topics Scentbird's CEO and Founder has been posting about on Youtube. Kirbie and Sara dive into the problematic nature of it all (to say the least). But first, we share why Rhode blushes are supreme and set them apart from other blush launches. Major thanks to our friends at dae for partnering with us on this episode, who just launched a new 3-in-1 styling cream you can take on the go — and Glams were the first to try it before it launched! We discuss why it's the perfect travel companion for your hair. Plus, are injectables and fillers officially on their way out? And why is Kirbie taking a step back from her near-obsession with Augustinus Bader after all these years? All that and more in today's ep, which you can also watch on Youtube!

Jonathan Van Ness Returns to Share What Really Happened to JVN Hair
What really happened to JVN Hair? If you’ve listened to the pod, you know we’ve been following the celebrity haircare brand’s journey, from its launch in 2021 with Amyris to its sale at auction to Windsong Global for $1.25 million earlier this year. We’ve had experts come on to discuss the situation, like investor and advisor Maggie Sellers, but the only person who really knows what went down and what the future holds for JVN Hair is JVN themselves. Today, we’re joined by founder Jonathan Van Ness and JVN Hair Global President Teresa Lo. JVN and Teresa open up about why they were sold at auction for less than what they were worth, what the internet has gotten wrong about the sale, and what’s in store for the brand.

Cheers to 5 Years: Revisiting Our First Episode Plus a Q&A
Glamgelenos, meet the new Gloss Angeles! In honor of our 5th birthday, we decided to celebrate in a big way — with a new song, a new logo, a new look, and a new way to listen to us — on video! On today’s episode, we’re sharing the behind-the-scenes details on the big photoshoot we did with our dream team: makeup artist Donni Davy, hair stylist Clayton Hawkins, stylist and designer Vivian Chan, and photographer Max Bronner. Shout out to Bellami Hair for providing us with the best extensions and wigs to complete the retro look of our dreams and Half Magic for glamming us as if we were old school beauty models. Then, Kirbie and Sara take a trip down memory lane to our very first episode and discuss how we’ve grown and stayed the same. In our first episode, we shared our five ride-or-die skincare products at the time (2019 was a lifetime ago in beauty, y’all!). We’re updating our list with our current fave five — tune in to hear what’s changed in our line-up! To end the show, we answer one Glamgeleno’s concealer conundrum.
