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’s been a wild ride—let’s relive it all one more time!

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.

Allure’s annual Best of Beauty list is out! Kirbie and Sara review (some of) the over 300+ list of winners across the categories, including best sheer lipstick to best detergent (yes, there’s even a category for detergent!) We know that the beauty industry is working to be more sustainable, but are they more talk than walk? We unpack a new report from Good On You that claims nearly two thirds of the beauty brands it assessed rated “Not Good Enough,” or worse. What does it really mean? Let’s discuss!

Pati Dubroff is one of the most in-demand makeup artists of our time. Getting her start taking side jobs at MTV's House of Style to assisting Francois Nars, Pati always envisioned herself making up faces. From Margot Robbie to Cindy Crawford, she's adored by stars and brands alike. She's currently a Chanel makeup artist — a coveted job — and in the last year you've seen her work during iconic beauty moments like the Barbie press tour and Sofia Richie's wedding. Pati joins us to give us an incredible rundown of what's on her face, what she learned early in her career, how Margot Robbie really is that amazing, what we don't realize as beauty consumers, and the five things she'd never do as a makeup artist.

Several big news items to discuss this week: we’re hosting a live episode of the pod at Beautycon this year! And we’ve got a discount code on tickets. Use GLOSSPOD for 25% off! We’ll be announcing our special guest next week.
Cassandra Grey bought back Violet Grey after Farfetch acquired it (and shortly after dissolved their beauty sector). We dive into why we’re excited to see it back in her hands. But the biggest news of the week revolves around Tarte, Hermes bracelets, and gifting etiquette. We’re genuinely confused about the brand's current social strategy — even as beauty editors, we rarely know what product is being launched or promoted, as most of the discussion online tends to stem from their unsavory antics. Extravagant press trips and designer gifts are great, but is it getting the brand the return they desire?

It’s an Amazon surprise! We kick off the episode by reviewing some of the most viral Amazon beauty finds including the buzzy TirTir cushion foundation and a collagen sheet mask that’s supposed to transform your skin overnight. Sabrina Carpenter and her hair have officially been spoken for — we discuss the major haircare brand that’s secured the “Taste” singer as their ambassador. And lastly — why isn’t anyone talking about MAC? That’s the question Joolz Lebron is asking, but is she right? Kirbie and Sara share their thoughts on the legacy makeup brand and why they think people may not be talking about them as much as other brands.

Wende Zomnir is someone we consider a beauty titan on Gloss Angeles: she co-founded the longstanding cosmetics brand Urban Decay in the '90s, and after selling to L'Oreal and leaving the brand herself, she launched another one: inspired by her passion for the beach, surfing and sustainability, Caliray was born,
Wende has a wealth of knowledge about the industry, so we're thrilled to have her on the pod. She shares how Urban Decay was born at a time where brands weren't a dime a dozen, her thoughts on the Naked palette resurrection, what Urban was doing before any other makeup brand, and what she thinks matters most to consumers when it comes to products. Plus, how she keeps the "dirty minds" alive with Caliray and how her second brand differs from her first. She also reveals the product she'd like to see revived in our Misscontinued segment.
