    Episode 7 | "glossy on a budget" - You Don’t Need to Spend More to Look Expensive

    Have beauty routines become way more expensive than they need to be? In this episode, we break down how to still feel polished, put-together and expensive — without actually spending more. From stretching your hair appointments and managing greys, to figuring out what’s actually worth it in your skincare routine, we unpack the small changes that make the biggest difference. We also get into the mindset shift around beauty spending, the pressure to keep up with high-maintenance routines, and how simplifying things can often give better results. Plus, a simple life admin reset — including a quick Gmail clean-up hack to clear out subscriptions and emails you never read. ________ SHOW NOTES Stretching your hair appointments — how to go longer between visits without it showing Full foils vs low-maintenance colour — when you actually need them Managing greys — options that don’t lock you into high maintenance Making your hair last longer — small changes that keep it feeling “done” Beauty on a budget — what actually makes a difference vs what doesn’t Skincare: where to spend vs where to save Simplifying your routine — why less can often give better results Life admin reset — small habits that make you feel more on top of things ________ 💡 GMAIL CLEAN-UP HACK Using Gmail: Go to More → Manage subscriptions in the sidebar See all your email subscriptions in one place Click Unsubscribe without opening each email Instant inbox reset. ________ Our signature glossy* theme track by Mike Newport (@mikenewportmusic) and SIDD (@iamsiddmusic) 🎶 🎧 Listen on Spotify 📸 Follow for BTS → @glossypod 💌 Submit your Glossy dilemmas → slide into our insta DMs   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    In this episode of Glossy*, Jaz and Hannah sit down with their first ever guest, award-winning actor Ryan O’Kane (aka Jaz's husband), for a real and unfiltered conversation around men’s style, grooming and self-image. From questionable first date outfits to skincare routines, cosmetic procedures and hair transplants, the three unpack what’s changing for men in the beauty and grooming space, and what still feels a little taboo. Ryan shares his own journey, including his current routine, mullet ambitions and a very questionable trip to LA in jandals. There’s also a side mission to find Jaz’s brother Aston a Nelson-based partner, because why not. ___________ SHOW NOTES In this episode we cover: First date fashion, what’s acceptable and what’s a red flag The rise of the male grooming industry Male vs female skin and whether “men’s skincare” is just marketing Ryan’s skincare journey and current routine The shift in masculinity, from traditional to modern Cosmetic procedures for men and what’s becoming more normal Hair transplants, where people are going and why Shave it or save it, the ultimate hair debate Ryan’s mullet plans and personal style evolution Male makeup, beards and peptides vs the gym ___________ PRODUCTS MENTIONED La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser La Roche-Posay moisturiser Triumph & Disaster Go-To Skincare / Bro-To ___________ PEOPLE & REFERENCES Ryan O’Kane Paul Mescal Zoë Foster Blake Timothée Chalamet, Tom Holland, Tom Hardy, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, Leonardo DiCaprio Jason Statham, Patrick Stewart Martin Crowe, Shane Warne Steve Carell / Michael Scott ___________ EXTRA Single in Nelson?

    Episode 5 | Peptides & “Botox in a Bottle”? What No One’s Telling You!

    Have beauty trends have officially lost the plot?  In this episode, we break down peptides: what they are, why they’re everywhere, and how they’ve gone from skincare ingredient to full-blown injectable trend. From “botox-like” serums to regenerative and performance peptides, we unpack what’s real, what’s marketing, and what’s still a bit of a grey area. We also get into the rise of ingredient-led skincare, the skin barrier era, and the growing conversation around transparency in the beauty industry — including whether influencers should be disclosing treatments behind their glow-ups. Plus, your weirdest beauty trend confessions and a few things we’ll never be trying again. ________ Show Notes: Weird beauty trends you've tried — OPI shatter nail polish, at-home dermaplaning, dry shampoo as a dermaplaning guide, nappy rash cream for skincare, and more listener confessions Press-on nails update — Studio Hugh press-on nails review and why they're a game-changer Primers: Do you actually need one? — Why a well-prepped base might be all you need What are peptides? — Short chains of amino acids that act as biological messengers for your skin cells Types of peptides in skincare — Signal peptides, carrier peptides (copper peptides), enzyme inhibitor peptides, and neurotransmitter-inhibiting ("Botox-like") peptides Peptides beyond skincare — Hormonal peptides (Ozempic/GLP-1s), healing & regenerative peptides, and performance & longevity peptides Are peptides the new Botox? — The conversation around transparency, glow-ups, and undisclosed treatments Should influencers disclose treatments? — The ethics of beauty transparency on social media The rise of ingredient-focused skincare — How TikTok and short-form content changed the beauty conversation Korean skincare & the skin barrier trend — Why less can be more with active ingredients Injectable peptides: risks & concerns — Lack of clinical evidence, unregulated sources, potential tumor growth stimulation (BPC-157), stacking risks, and immune responses Allergic reactions from repeated exposure — Real stories about developing allergies to hair dye, gel nails, and latex gloves Mentioned: Studio Hue, The Ordinary, Dr. Andrew Huberman, Josh Hamill, Kim Kardashian, Ryan Murphy's The Beauty ________ Our signature glossy* theme track by Mike Newport (@mikenewportmusic) and SIDD (@iamsiddmusic) 🎶 🎧 Listen on Spotify 📸 Follow for behind-the-scenes → @glossypod 💌 Submit your Glossy Goss dilemmas → slide into our insta DMs See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  4. Episode 4 | Dupe Culture: When Inspiration Becomes Imitation

    MAR 10

    Episode 4 | Dupe Culture: When Inspiration Becomes Imitation

    This week on glossy*, we’re getting into dupe culture and asking where the line really is between inspiration and imitation. From beauty and skincare to fashion, fragrance and homewares, we unpack why “dupes” are everywhere right now, why some feel fun and accessible, and why others leave a bad taste. We chat MCoBeauty, Rhode, Zara, Kmart, Charlotte Tilbury, Paris Georgia and more, and get into the bigger conversation around trend cycles, social media, affordability, brand loyalty and the pressure to keep up. Are dupes making beauty and fashion more accessible, or are some brands taking it too far? And when does a copy stop feeling clever and start feeling uncomfortable? It’s a juicy one. If you’ve ever compared the cheaper version, been tempted by the lookalike, or wondered whether the original is really worth it, this episode is for you.
