  • Why Listening To Critics Can Benefit a Brand in the Long-Run With Divi's Dani Austin
    May 17 2024

    Dani Austin hive, rise up — we’ve got the influencer and Divi founder on the pod! Dani joins the show to talk all things hair care and scalp health and why she wanted to create her own haircare brand, which sold $40M in the first year alone just from their serum. In our convo, she discusses the science and strategy behind Divi and her own hair loss journey, the wild world of content creation (she was one of Forbes Top 50 Creators in 2023), why listening to critics can benefit a brand's strategy, and how the landscape has changed since she started her YouTube channel back in 2012.

  • Can a Bill Help Curb Children From Using Anti-Aging Products?
    Apr 23 2024

    PSA: Do not use coconut oil in place of sunscreen. But you already knew that if you’re a true Glamgeleno. We had to state the obvious since it has come to our attention that Kristin Cavallari promoting false (and dangerous!) sun safety practices on her podcast. We have some words about it. We also discuss the proposed bill banning the sale of anti-aging skin care to anyone under 13 in California. How will this bill be enforced? And what impact will it have on ingredients like retinoids and acids that are used to treat acne in teens? Plus: Mandy Moore’s hair in ‘A Walk to Remember’ and Taylor Swift's latest album, including a track that takes a jab at one Ms. Kim Kardashian.

  • After 30 Years, the Iconic, Original "Spice" Lip Liner is BACK
    Apr 17 2024

    We kick off the episode with a very important (and divisive) question — do you shower with the lights on or off? It had never occurred to Kirbie and Sara that people bathed in darkness, but apparently that is a thing people do. How do you see what you’re grabbing for and what about the monsters? We discuss. Then, MOB Beauty co-founders Victor Casale and Alicia Gallagher join the convo to discuss the extremely exciting news that they’re recreating the original shade of MAC Spice, the same one Victor created for the beauty brand in the late 1980s. Listen in to hear the painstaking process he went through to ensure it was the exact color as the original and get ready for the lauch of M1990 on 4/17!
