  • Informative and entertaining

    Adore this podcast, love the way they don’t shy away from any topics and manage to address controversy without being too gossipy or biased. I always enjoy the interviews as I like learning about founders or MUAs back stories and feel like the ladies ask interesting questions. I’ve learnt a lot from Kirbie and Sara ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Wonderful escape from my everyday

    I do not work in this space but I love listening to everything beauty from these two. They are clearly knowledgeable and I trust their recommendations. They also feel approachable, kind, and nonjudgmental — which is exactly how I want to feel when learning about beauty.

  • Love the pod!

    Kirbie and Sara are so knowledgeable and entertaining. I love hearing their takes on what’s happening in the beauty world. They always have amazing guests and turn me onto products or brands I’d likely not be exposed to. I’ve participated in gloss Angeles confidential and it is SO cool to experience. Love the pod!

  • Never miss an episode

    Kirbie and Sara are the best. I learn so much from every episode and have purchased so many of their recs (my wallet hates to see a new Gloss Angeles episode coming).
