Gloss Angeles

Laney Crowell, founder and CEO of Saie, joins us to talk about what it really takes to build a Gen Z–beloved brand in today’s beauty landscape. We get into Saie’s growth and what’s stayed the same (and changed) since day one, what sets Saie apart at Sephora, and the products that keep customers coming back. Laney also shares how she thinks about TikTok virality, community-building (including Saie on Substack), and what’s next for the brand. Finally, we dive into CitySet, Saie’s new alcohol-free setting spray designed to lock in makeup while keeping skin feeling hydrated and fresh.Watch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

There were so many buzzy moments this year, but we whittled it down to seven, with help from you, our Glams. From rhode’s $1.2B acquisition to the rise of expert-led brands and makeup artists, this year proved the industry is changing fast. We get into the K-beauty boom, why kids and teens are shaping the future of beauty, and how MAHA-adjacent misinformation influenced everything from sunscreen discourse to beef tallow skincare. We also pour one out for the brand shutdowns that shocked us this year. Tune in for the highs, the lows, and what it all means for 2026.Watch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

This episode is brought to you by CLEARSTEM. We’ve got an acne masterclass for you, Glams. CLEARSTEM founders Danielle Gronich and Kayleigh Christina join us to talk about the breakouts that follow you well into adulthood and why the usual “just drink more water” advice isn’t cutting it.

They even have a nifty ingredient tracker to help!We’re also chatting about their BOUNCEBACK Repair Serum, which 250 of our listeners had the opportunity to test through Gloss Angeles Confidential.

This week, we kick things off talking about what a joy it was to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and also how weird our Spotify Wrapped was. We bring back WOYF and share a product from a recent guest that’s doing Sara’s skin good and a teeny set of brushes that Kirbie can’t get enough of. Then: what is really going on with asbestos testing in talc products? There’s a lot of misinformation online. We explain what’s actually happening and discuss several nuances related to it.
