Co-hosts and longtime beauty journalists Kirbie Johnson and Sara Tan give their perspective on all things makeup, skincare, and wellness at the intersection of pop culture and entertainment. Experts in the field and friends IRL, they pull back the curtain on trends, treatments and popular products — all the things you're likely searching or watching on TikTok. (They'd know — they've spent 10 years creating and optimizing editorial content for mainstream digital beauty publishers.) Tuesday episodes reveal the most notable beauty headlines with informed takes while Friday episodes feature guests from experts in the industry to celebrity spokespeople, including Courteney Cox, Hailey Bieber, Halsey, Selena Gomez, Scarlett Johansson, Laverne Cox, Jonathan Van Ness, Barbie Ferreira, Brad Mondo, Emma Chamberlain, Dr. Jason Diamond, Charlotte Palermino and more.

Beautycon 2023: What Worked, What Didn't
Glams, we'll be taking a much-needed fall break beginning this Friday, so you won't hear from us again until the end of the month when we have a special guest! Today we discuss what we'd do if we hosted our own event a la Beautycon, then dive into what worked (and what didn't) with the event's first production since 2019 under new management. Kirbie attended the show to see what made it different from years past.

A former Wall Street banker, Tsai shares how Cocokind has grown and evolved as a brand, including why they decided to stop referring to themselves as "clean" and sustainable. Plus, why the brand chose to disclose exactly how each product is formulated.

Danessa Myricks is a force in the makeup industry and this interview is a testament to why.

Customer Reviews
In the know!
I learn something new each week. The mix of content is perfect.
LOVE THIS POD
I've been a big fan of Kirby on Instagram for a long time. LOVE LOVE this podcast so much! Everytime I listen to an episode I find myself researching products they are talking about and buying a lot of them! LOL. Bravos ladies! I will say that their audio quality during Covid has been a little off. Kirby's mic is extremely hot in some episodes and it hurts my ears a bit. LOVE YOU KIRBY, but I gotta keep it real. They need to hire a professional editor. It also sometimes takes them 20+ mins to get to the main topic of the podcast. I love the chatter, but I also want to get to the meat and potatoes as well. <3 xoxox
Tuesday’s are my new favourite day
I am a beauty & skincare junkie and every time I listen to Gloss Angeles it truly feels like a conversation with my best friends! Kirbie & Sarah are so honest and real about the products they review and I so appreciate it! They have so much knowledge to share and they deliver it in such an approachable manner. I most look forward to “What’s On Your Face” - it’s always fun hearing what products are current favourites. Love love love these ladies & Gloss Angeles!
