Mel’s officially on baby watch and we’re counting down! But before things get really uncensored in the delivery room, we’ve got a pre-recorded ep packed with beauty tips, TikTok trends, and one very unique facial. In We Tried It, Mel puts her face (and trust) in the hands of renowned facialist April Brodie for a Buccal Fusion Facial — yep, the one where they massage inside your mouth. She shares exactly what it feels like, what it did for her skin, and why she’s officially obsessed. Then in Build My Cart, a listener asks how to get the kind of curls that break the internet. We break down the routine, the hacks, and the hydration-heavy product picks to make it happen. Plus, a shimmering body oil worth a winter restock, a reminder that brunette George Clooney is messing with our minds, and a PSA: the viral “Australian bun” might not be the universal serve TikTok thinks it is… Everything Mentioned: Brunette George Clooney Is Playing Tricks on My Brain—See the Photos | Allure Kevin.Murphy Killer Curls Wash or Hydrate Me Wash Virtue Curl Defining Whip Aveda Be Curly Advanced Curl Enhancer Cream Iles Formula Hair Towel Davroe Curlicue Rapid Dry Hair Wrap silk london hair wrap Kerastase Curl Manifesto https://vt.tiktok.com/ZShAAUyA3/ Submit your questions and cart challenges for Hannah and Mel @adorebeauty on IG.

With a passion for holistic wellness, Adria has revolutionized the way we think about hair care and its connection to overall health.

For this week's special episode, Glossy Beauty Podcast co-hosts Sara Spruch-Feiner and Lexy Lebsack brought on colleague Emily Jensen to discuss six topics — all 2024 trends they expect will continue to dominate in the year to come or emerging trends they believe will be big topics of conversation. These included the pending TikTok ban and how it will affect beauty brands, the shifts in influencer marketing including the question of "authenticity," the rise-and-rise of the fragrance category, the boom in sports and beauty partnerships, the impact of GLP-1 drugs on skin care, and the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health secretary and the potential impacts on the wellness industry. Listen in for a taste of what's to come in Glossy's beauty coverage this year.

Glossy reporters Lexy Lebsack, Sara Spruch-Feiner and Emma Sandler welcomed dozens of guests onto the Glossy Beauty Podcast in 2024. This included top executives at L'Oréal Group and Kendo Brands; longtime industry leaders from Retrouvé and Versed; and breakout indie brand founders from Flamingo Estate and Fazit. But it was the six interviews highlighted below that best capture the ways in which the beauty industry changed in 2024. In today's special end-of-year podcast episode, Lebsack and Spruch-Feiner walk through six can't-miss clips. In the clips ahead, Estée Lauder VP Chloe Green-Vamos discusses how the conglomerate is utilizing AI to better the business while longtime beauty exec Sarah Creal muses about reaching women over 40 with her new namesake line — two massive trends that swept the industry this year. This special 2024 episode also highlights an important change in retail's role in business, as heard in a clip from Black Girl Sunscreen founder Shontay Lundy's September episode. Speaking of sunscreen, Beauty of Joseon founder Sumin Lee joined the pod this month to discuss entering the U.S. market with the TikTok-famous brand. In another clip, Beachwaver's Sarah Potempa shares the secret behind her knockdown success live-selling business on TikTok. And finally, in Glossy's Tweens Talk Beauty episode, three Gen Alpha tween shoppers discuss the role beauty plays in their lives. The Glossy Beauty Podcast will be back next week with another special episode looking ahead at 2025 and will return on January 9 with our regular episodes.
