  • Experts in the field

    In the 5 years I’ve been a listener, Kirbie and Sara have given me an education, truly. They are experts in the beauty universe, and they gracefully break down information so that it’s digestible for everyone without shying away from the science. Their passion for the industry, genuine curiosity with guests, and tangible best friend chemistry keeps me tuning in religiously. Rare that a podcast keeps you informed AND laughing. I consider this podcast the Holy Grail of beauty podcasts, and can’t r... more

  • The Best!

    I have been listening to Gloss Angeles since their pod first came out. They have such great insight into the Beauty world. They also have morals and are not afraid to speak their minds. They have great guests but I love listening to Kirbie and Sara just talked to each other. They also do a great job outside of the podcast interacting with listeners. Even better, they allow opportunities for testing out new products for honest reviews. It has been fun to watch their careers since their podcast st... more

    My favorite beauty podcast! I love that Kirbie and Sara aren’t afraid to bring up politics (beauty, consumerism, products—it’s ALL political!)

  • One of my absolute fave podcasts

    Gloss Angeles is one of a few podcasts I make sure to catch as soon as every episode drops! The addition of video has been great too. I love the guest interviews and appreciate that beauty industry updates are coming from two experienced journalists. (I’m baffled by the few reviews here suggesting undisclosed biases or ads — they are always very clear about any sponsorship and they don’t hold back from honest reporting.) Also recommend joining the Gloss Angeles Confidential program, to try a... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rethinking Body Odor With Future Society Founder Jasmina Aganovic, Part 1
Q: Can you talk to us about the way that our smell changes as we go through perimenopause, menopause, like what is happening biologically that is changing how we smell?
Aganovic explains that the body is a changing ecosystem. Hormones and oil production affect what the skin microbiome feeds on, changing the proportions of microbes and the scent compounds they produce.
Rethinking Body Odor With Future Society Founder Jasmina Aganovic, Part 1
Q: Can you explain the difference for our listeners between an antiperspirant and a deodorant?
Aganovic says deodorants primarily kill microbes and mask smells, while antiperspirants block sweat, which is a food source for odor-producing microbes. Base Scent uses a different approach based on newer understanding of personal scent.
Behind mes° With Jennifer Lawrence’s Co-Founder, Jasmina Aganovic
Q: So, then let's go through what is launching at the start of all of this. There's three skews. Okay, and yeah, just walk us through it.
Aganovic describes a dry-hair repair and styling mask, the Good Roots Volume Mist for volume and scalp care, and the Off-Duty Restyling Serum for refreshing hair between washes.
Behind mes° With Jennifer Lawrence’s Co-Founder, Jasmina Aganovic
Q: So what is mess and give us your best pitch as to why this is not just another dime a dozen celebrity beauty brand.
Aganovic says mes° grew from Lawrence's vision of practical, “unbothered beauty” and offers hair products designed to combine care and styling in routines that fit everyday life.
How Much Strength Training Do Women Actually Need? With Fitness Coach Bec Taylor
Q: What are your best tips for getting into running if you would like to, but you have quote unquote bad knees or you're scared or it is intimidating?
Taylor recommends assessing a person's running experience and biomechanics, starting with short intervals such as 30 seconds, and gradually building while focusing on breathing and posture.
