Kim van Haaster quite literally met a man in Ibiza and fell in love. Their happy ending resulted in Kim getting access to a bounty of family-owned tulip fields, which are the key ingredient in her skincare brand Bloomeffects. We join Kim at the incredible fields in Amsterdam for this week's episode to explain why the tulip is so special, how the brand upcycles the flower for their products, the ingredients within them that helped calm her eczema (and get her off steroids), her family lineage in the beauty industry, and the short window she has to bring select editors and influencers — including us! — to The Netherlands each year. Plus, she shares details on the Black Tulip Regenerative Brightening Serum that 250 of our listeners tested for four weeks ahead of its launch last month and reveals two additional products you can expect from the brand in June.

This news episode, Sara is sharing a K-Beauty find that's difficult to get your hands on — but you'll want to. Kirbie waxes poetic about a lip stain that makes your lips look lush and plump without the worry of looking fake. Then we dive into Tarte's latest drama. Celebrating 10 years of Trippin' With Tarte, the brand made their way to Necker Island with a gaggle of influencers. And while they did donate money to the LAFD, it was the way in which they promoted these donations and the overall tone-deaf social strategy that has us scratching our heads. Tune in to hear why we don't think the trip should have been cancelled but what the brand should have considered before posting.

It's been a heartbreaking week in Los Angeles as our community grapples with the devastation of the fires. Kirbie and Sara share ways you can lend a hand and support those who've been displaced during this difficult time. For a little lightheartedness, Kirbie reveals her current obsession: Mufasa — but not the movie (she still hasn't seen it) — the viral soundtrack making waves on TikTok. Are you hooked too? Finally, we break down Allure's latest buzzworthy piece spotlighting “old ladies.” Is the term offensive? Should it be? Let's unpack the conversation and what it says about beauty, aging, and language.Watch our episodes!GlossAngelesPod.comCALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Join our Slack to try new products before they launchJoin our FB GroupInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

As you may know, Los Angeles has been ravaged by fires in the Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Altadena and Pasadena. There is devastation taking place in this beautiful city we love. Instead of our regularly planned guest episode, we wanted to highlight our conversation with Amy Liu of Tower 28 who came on the pod in 2021. Amy has been a longtime friend of ours, as we all launched are brands within a few months of each other. She is a loving, generous and special woman. Amy's home in the Palisades is one of the only left standing, and despite being displaced, she has been putting herself to work to help those in need. This is the person Amy is. We're hoping by resharing our conversation that new and longtime listeners alike will learn what an absolute gem Amy and discover what makes her brand so special.

2025 is just around the corner, but before we pop the champagne, we're looking back at everything that made 2024 unforgettable. Let's start with the tiny details: it was officially the Year of the Pipsqueak (affectionate), thanks to the powerhouse that is 5-foot-tall Sabrina Carpenter and the larger-than-life, but smaller-than-average cast of Wicked.We're also revisiting some of the year's biggest beauty headlines, from the billion dollar trend of Superbowl beauty commercials to the drama surrounding that Givenchy powder scandal. And of course, no year-end wrap-up would be complete without a breakdown of the most viral products of the year, including Milk's Jelly Tint, every single bronzing drop, and the obsession that was Cherry Cola lips.

It may be the end of the year, but the drama continues, especially over on TikTok! First, we discuss the controversy surrounding Patrick Ta and influencer Avonna Sunshine, who claimed she wasn't paid for promoting his beauty products. We chat through Patrick Ta's public apology, the how this issue highlights a bigger one within the creator community, and how the beauty industry can do better.Next, we unravel the viral “Gray Blonde” saga involving a hairstylist, an unhappy client, and what happens when there is a miscommunication. We explore why clear communication and realistic expectations are so crucial when it comes to hair transformations, and why you maybe shouldn't take every personal problem you have to TikTok. And finally, we talk about Lindsay Lohan. Her latest appearance has everyone asking: is it skincare, injectables, or something else? We get into it.
