All Things Lady Gaga and HAUS Labs With Makeup Artist Sarah Tanno-Stewart
Sarah Tanno-Stewart is the Global Artistry Director at Haus Labs where she works with her client and close friend Lady Gaga — maybe you've heard of her? — to create innovative products for the brand. We invited Sarah on the pod to celebrate the release of LG's 6th studio album, Chromatica, which is out today! Sarah is an incomparable artist; someone who has a wealth of experience and an inspiring journey to share. Her expertise is responsible for most of Lady Gaga's most stunning looks of the past decade. Today she shares with us her best makeup and skincare tips, like what product shes tends to avoid using on Gaga, her favorite masks and tools to use on her clients, how long she tests a product before using it on LG, and what product is absolutely necessary when using a vegan foundation.
Plus, we didn't forget What's on Your Face!

How Dermstore Vets the Brands They Carry + the Future Shopping For Beauty with Cyndi Isgrig
You asked for this one: in our glorious Facebook group, you wanted to know how products are picked to be sold at certain retailers and what the future of beauty shopping will look like. We instantly thought of one of our favorite e-tailers, Dermstore, who has been a leader in the skincare space and online beauty shopping since it was created in 1999 by a dermatologist. 14 years later, they were acquired by Target and have quickly built a curated assortment of the finest brands in beauty. President Cyndi Isgrig joins us today to discuss what differentiates as brand you find at Dermstore vs. other retailers, how shopping for your favorite products will change over the next year and what product she thinks we'll see more of in 2020. Plus, a distasteful launch that's ruffled our feathers and a shoutout to a special listener!

CBD 101: Everything You Need to Know Before You Buy With Fleur Marche's Meredith Schroeder
CBD is easily one of the most pitched products in our inboxes. We sometimes feel so overwhelmed with CBD brands and products that it can be easy for us to want to move on to the next big trend. The fact is, however, that most people are just discovering this "gorgeous molecule" (as Casey Georgeson of Saint Jane puts it). We invited Meredith Schroeder, co-founder Fleur Marché — an e-comm site decidated to wellness-focused cannabis products and tauted as the "Sephora of CBD" — on the pod to break everything down: what are the real benefits of CBD, what claims can be made, how do you find the perfect CBD product, can it get you high, and what's next when it comes to CBD?

April 22nd is Earth Day! On today's episode, we're focusing on how to incorporate sustainable products into our routine, what to look for (because even we get confused) and brands that are walking the walk and talking the talk.

Our CVS Skin Care Haul: Drugstore Products For $30 or Less
It’s no secret we love prestige brands, like a fancy serum or decadent créme, but we also believe good skin care doesn’t mean spending hundreds of dollars. Our personal philosophy is you should only buy what you need. If something is working for you, keep doing it! You don’t need every product you see posted about on instagram, websites, and yes, even Gloss Angeles. But if you are shopping to update your regimen, you don't need to dole out a ton of cash to get an efficacious product. We reached out to our friends at CVS about doing a drugstore-themed episode and they graciously gave us gift cards to curate our own skin care regimen at the store. (Please note we went to the store long before social distancing was put into play.)

Australian Beauty Advice With Go-To Skin Care Founder (and Former Beauty Editor) Zoë Foster Blake
It's a beauty editor kiki! Zoë Foster Blake is one of Australia’s most celebrated beauty experts. But before she became a beauty brand founder, she was just like us — a beauty editor! Zoe was the beauty director of Cosmopolitan and Harper’s BAZAAR Australia. She then went on to write a few books, including Amazing Face, a best-selling beauty bible, and then decided to start her own beauty blog back in 2006. After years of reviewing and using every kind of skin care product on the face of the earth, Zoë decided to take a stab at creating her own. She wanted to make something that was simple, stress-free, and more about self-love than “fixing” stuff. Thus Go-To Skin Care was born.
Go-To focus on clean formulas and has a cheeky brand voice. With the success of her brand, Zoë launched Gro-To Skin Care, a clean line for kids. It's super cute, trust us. Listen to learn how Zoë editorial expertise equipped her to become a standout brand founder.

Thread Lifts: The Treatment That Creates "Instagram Face" (With Dr. Jason Emer)
The most hush-hush treatment in Hollywood are thread lifts, which are being tauted as an alternative to face lifts. If you're not in the market for a face lift, we get it — this treatment is being used for a lot more than that. You may have heard about them through Goop herself, Gwyneth Paltrow. Thread lifts use dissolvable sutures to lift the skin in the face and body; after a few months to a year, they disappear and are replaced with collagen. Dr. Jason Emer has been performing thread lifts at his practice in West Hollywood since 2015 and today he shares with us everything we need to know about this treatment. Plus, we're headed to Austin! We'd love to see you at The RealSelf Modern House of Beauty. Enter two win a pair of tickets to our invite-only live podcast with Renée Rouleau on Friday, 3/13. Details on our Instagram!

Creating a Clean Beauty Brand With Ilia Founder Sasha Plavsic
Sasha Plavsic is the founder of ILIA Beauty, a prestige line of natural and organic beauty products that combine superior color performance and nourishing organics based in Laguna Beach. Before Sasha started the company, she had years of branding experience helping beauty and wellness companies, including Urban Decay and Saje Natural Wellness. So when she discovered that there wasn’t any existing clean beauty products that were not packaged in bamboo, she found herself with a goal in mind (and the experience to back it up): create a tinted lip balm that was luxurious and didn’t contain any nasty ingredients. Fast forward to today and ILIA is one of the leading clean color cosmetics brands out on the market. We’re talking to Sasha about starting her brand as well as Ilia’s latest launch: the Super Serum Skin Tint.

Korean Beauty Trends and the World of White Labeling Products with Charlotte Cho
You'd be hard pressed to find a beauty lover that hasn't tried a Korean beauty product or trend. But there was once a time when purchasing K-beauty products was difficult unless you physically traveled to the region. Soko Glam changed the game by curating the best K-Beauty had to offer. The brains behind the operation — and the skincare brand Then I Met You — is Charlotte Cho.
Charlotte is an esthetician and author, and today she's talking about what it was like launching Soko Glam 7 years ago, the feeling/term "Jeong" and how she applies it to her skin care routine, what white labeling is, plus what trends she believes we'll see popping up in 2020.

Is Blue Light Skin Damage a Myth? Talking About Visible Light's Effect on the Skin With Dr. Loretta
You might know Dr. Loretta Ciraldo, MD, FAAD, as the creator of the cult-favorite Tightening Eye Gel, which won Allure’s Best of Beauty Awards this year. She is a highly sought-after board-certified dermatologist with over 40 years of experience, an avid clinical researcher, published author, and a regular on-camera expert.
Her research experience started in 1975 in the Dermatology Department of Harvard Medical School, where she performed early testing on the effects of UVA on human skin and contributed to the development of the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Classification — so she knows a lot about sun exposure. She received her MD from Downstate Medical College of State University of New York and completed her dermatology residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY, where she was selected as Chief Resident.
Dr. Loretta is line of anti-aging skincare products, formulated with high concentrations of advanced medical-grade actives, combined with blends of the most beneficial essential oils and botanical and marine ingredients to ensure that skin remains unexposed to harmful external influences. In today's episode, we're discussing how blue light may be contributing to your skin in a negative way, which is why sunscreen is essential every single day — even indoors.

How Tatcha's Vicky Tsai Healed Her Dermatitis With Japanese Skin Care
Vicky Tsai, founder and “Chief Treasure Hunter” of Tatcha, one of the most beloved skin care brands of the last decade and one of our favorites here at Gloss Angeles. After graduating from business school and working for large corporations, Vicky spent years traveling back and forth from the states to Asia. She developed acute dermatitis and tried everything to treat her skin. During her time in Japan, Vicky discovered the world of Japanese beauty, thanks to an encounter with a modern-day geisha. She loved how pure, simple, and effective the classical Japanese beauty philosophy was and decided she wanted to share the secrets and ingredients she learned about with the rest of the world. Today, Tatcha works with scientists in both Japan and the U.S. to create formulations from scratch that honor traditional Japanese beauty practices, but are made with advanced technology and innovation.
Vicky also discusses Tatcha's new Serum Stick and what makes this new launch so special.

The Best Treatments For Acne, Fine Lines, and Dark Circles According to Celebrity Esthetician Georgia Louise
Georgia Louise is one of the world’s most sought after facialists, with clients like Jennifer Anistion, Emma Stone, Emily Blunt and Linda Evangelista. She received professional training in France, Switzerland and the UK, and established her practice in London in 2006. Her famously acclaimed Atelier was launched in Manhattan's Upper East Side in 2012, offering high end non-invasive facials, rated as the best facials in NYC.
Her facial treatments are designed to naturally and instantly lift cheekbones and brows, depuff and brighten the face and soften fine lines and wrinkles without the need of botox or fillers — her face massage is orgasmic to put it bluntly. She now has a location at the Allbright in West Hollywood, where we recorded today's ep!
Georgia's transparent approach made for a great interview: she breaks down exactly what celebrities do to get pristine red carpet skin (and it's not just "drinking a lot of water,"), how often you should be getting facial treatments to see results, plus what treatments work the best for acne, fine lines, dark circles and jowls.

The Power of Great Sleep: Change Your Routine, Change Your Life (Featuring The Sleep Doctor)
Is beauty sleep real? How long should you really be sleeping? Plus a warning about melatonin. We're answering all of your most-asked sleep questions today on the show with The Sleep Doctor himself. Dr. Michael Breus is a Clinical Psychologist, a Diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine, and a Fellow of The American Academy of Sleep Medicine. He specializes in sleep disorders and is one of the only psychologists in the world with his credentials and distinction. Dr. Breus has authored a number of books, tours the world lecturing on sleep, has appeared on CNN, Oprah, and The View, and is also on the clinical advisory board of The Dr. Oz Show. Dr. Breus has a private practice in LA where he helps his clients figure out how to sleep better, which is his main mission in life. We met Dr. Breus at an event for the launch of Mighty Night, a new supplement from HUM Nutrition that encourages more restful sleep and promotes healthier-looking skin. The event was the most engaged we'd ever seen an audience; he had a line out the door after his presentation. Clearly, getting good sleep is something people desperately want to know more about. We wanted him on the show to bring this information to you. Learn more about your Sleep Chronotype at ChronoQuiz.com. (For the record, Kirbie is a bear 🐻and Sara is a dolphin 🐬. Go figure.)

How Wine Inspired a Cult-Favorite Serum With April Gargiulo From Vintner's Daughter
April Gargiulo is the founder of Vintner’s Daughter, the cult-favorite brand beloved by skincare fanatics, from celebrities and beauty editors to clean beauty devotees and face oil enthusiasts. When April became pregnant with her first daughter, she tried to find a skincare product she could use that was free from chemicals and murky ingredients — she couldn’t find any. April had spent years working in her family’s wine business, learning the importance of quality formulation and ingredient sourcing, so using the same practices she learned on the vineyards, April decided to take a stab at creating her own beauty solution. The result? The Active Botanical serum, a holy grail skincare product made with whole botanicals and packed with nutrients that could replace your entire skincare routine while delivering dramatic results. Since then, she’s also created the Active Treatment Essence, which has also garnered a massive fanbase.

5 Ingredients We Typically Avoid in Skin Care Products
Our job is to try everything at least once, but that doesn't mean we don't pump the breaks when it comes to certain ingredients. We've learned over time what our skin can withstand, and we notice patterns when it comes to how our skin reacts to specific ingredients. Is it the ingredient itself, or how it's formulated? Consider this episode your roadmap — by no means are we saying all products with these ingredients are bad, but if you find your skin is breaking out, overly sensitive or has developed an adverse reaction to a certain product, this can help you narrow down a possible culprit.

If You Use Vitamin C in Your Routine (And Who Doesn't?), This Episode is Mandatory
You're likely already using a vitamin C in your routine, but do you know what it's actually doing to your skin? And why you should be using it, other than to brighten your complexion? We're taking a deep dive into the buzzy skincare ingredient and chatting about vitamin C's many benefits (it can do more than just brighten!), what you should be looking for when finding a product that actually works, and other important tips (like how you should store it).

Botox 101: Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Injectables with Carrie Strom, SVP of Allergan U.S. Medical Aesthetics
Let's have a bo-talk, shall we? If you've ever wondered about injectables, how they work, their side effects or anything else regarding Botox and fillers, you'll want to save today's chat. Our guest is Carrie Strom, Senior Vice President of Allergan U.S. Medical Aesthetics. She leads the only all-female leadership team in the aesthetic injectables category, overseeing several iconic and best-selling brands, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and The JUVEDERM® Collection of Fillers. Carrie is filling us in on everything you've ever wanted to know about injectables — including questions you sent us — from what effects Botox will have long term to what you should be looking for in a good practitioner.
We also discuss Shiseido's Drunk Elephant acquisition for $885M, and what that means for their cruelty-free status. We love Logical Harmony and Cruelty-Free Kitty when it comes to debunking who is cruelty-free and who isn't. Also, here's the article Kirbie wrote regarding the Wet n Wild cruelty-free scandal earlier this year.

The Mistakes You're Making With Sun Protection
90% of aging comes from daily sun exposure — not major sunburns! Today we’re breaking down sun protection, the different types of rays that cause both burns and pre-mature aging and how much sunscreen is essential for optimal coverage. However, another important aspect of sun protection is what to do after you’ve been in the sun or gotten a burn, because chances are you'll have a burn in your lifetime. What ingredients should you avoid, how to keep your skin in good shape, plus how to treat it in the best way possible — all in today's episode.

How to Properly Read a Product Label
You asked, we answered! A question we often get is “How do I read a product label?” We get it. Labels are very confusing. For instance, did you know hypoallergenic actually means nothing? Manufacturers can make these claims, however, the FDA does not have a formal process for determining what products are deemed “hypoallergenic." How bizarre.
https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetics-labeling-claims/hypoallergenic-cosmetics
Today, we’re explaining how to read an ingredients list, what certain logos mean (or don’t mean), plus what terms to be weary of — what’s marketing jargon and what’s the real deal.

Does anyone get that Britney reference in the title? Bueller?
IT'S HOT! IN HERE! AND OUT THERE! IT'S HOT EVERYWHERE! HELP! We know the struggle of sweating after you spent a good 45 getting your makeup to a good place.
