When Jennifer Lawrence reached out about starting a beauty brand, Jasmina Aganovic’s first answer was no. So what changed?In part two of our conversation, the Arcaea founder takes us inside mes°, the haircare brand she co-founded with Lawrence, from the TED talk that sparked their introduction to the year they spent getting to know each other before building a business together. Jasmina explains Jennifer’s vision for “unbothered beauty,” the unexpected science behind the brand’s name, and the three launch products designed to make your routine work around your life: a repair mask that doubles as a wet-look styler, a volumizing scalp treatment, and a serum for refreshing hair between washes.Don't miss part one for more on Jasmina’s career, biotechnology in beauty, and her fragrance brand, Future Society.Watch our episodes!Shop our episodesInstagram: @glossangelspod | TikTok: @glossangelespodEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if managing body odor started with feeding your skin’s ecosystem? MIT-trained scientist and Future Society founder Jasmina Aganovic joins us to explain the thinking behind Base Scent, the unscented treatment Kirbie hasn’t stopped talking about.In Part 1, we discuss how Jasmina says the product works, why our personal scent changes over time, and why bringing something new to beauty requires more than a great formula. We also unpack what Future Society’s extinct-flower fragrances actually recreate, where she sees cosmetics and aesthetic treatments converging, and the consumer conversation missing from beauty’s rush toward AI. Plus, Jasmina shares her skincare and makeup staples—including a very good Naked palette throwback. Then, we tease Jasmina's next big project.

What happens when your name is on the packaging, but you’re no longer behind the brand? This week, we discuss Isamaya Ffrench’s departure from her namesake makeup line, the questions surrounding the split, and whether naming a beauty brand after yourself as an artist is worth the potential complications. We also unpack the latest ruling in Sol de Janeiro’s lawsuit against MCoBeauty—and debate where affordable alternatives cross into copying. Plus: Kirbie’s first-time Felicity watch continues, we have a business proposal involving discontinued beauty favorites, and a reminder that beauty journalism covers a lot more than lipstick. (Although we cover that, too.)Watch our episodes!Shop our episodesInstagram: @glossangelspod | TikTok: @glossangelespodEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

What if your workout goals had less to do with getting smaller and more to do with getting stronger? Nike Coach and ultra-runner Bec Taylor joins us to talk about building a fitness routine that helps you feel good—especially as you approach your 40s. We ask how much strength training women actually need, what “lifting heavy” means, and how to know when it’s time to pick up a heavier dumbbell. Plus: getting into running, fueling your workouts, and navigating changes in energy and recovery during perimenopause.

Is full glam making a comeback, or do we just want a really dramatic lash? We dig into Pinterest’s beauty report, from frosted makeup and grunge eyeliner to increasingly specific manicures—and why everything sounds like something we’d order for dessert. Then, we discuss attendee complaints about Create & Cultivate and Beautycon: What should your ticket actually get you, and are conferences still worth the money? Plus, Sara makes her case for Kirbie to watch Felicity, the college drama that deserves a spot in your fall viewing lineup.

Feel like your hair hits a certain length and just… quits? Board-certified dermatologist and Nutrafol Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Heather Woolery-Lloyd joins us to explain the difference between thinning, shedding, and breakage—and why identifying what’s happening matters. We discuss how stress, hormones, perimenopause, menopause, and GLP-1 medications can factor into hair changes, plus how heat styling, color, and hair porosity affect length retention. We also explore Nutrafol’s Strand Serum, how caring for your strands differs from supporting growth, and the habits worth reconsidering for healthier-looking hair. This episode is sponsored by Nutrafol.*Strand Serum is a clinically tested, physician-formulated serum designed to deliver: • 83 percent reduction in breakage after 5 uses on damp and dry hair vs. non-conditioning shampoo • 85 percent reduction in frizz after using on damp hair vs. maximum frizz • 6x stronger hair when using Nutrafol SH/CD/Strand Serum on damp hair vs. non-conditioning shampoo**These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Your face has a skincare routine, but your neck is crying for help! This week, we’re joined by Murad esthetician and global educator Katy Bacon to talk about the skin we tend to forget: our necks, chests, and hands. We ask why these areas can start to look different, how hormonal changes and sun exposure factor into the conversation, and whether a dedicated neck serum deserves a spot in your routine. We also get into silicone patches, peptides, supplement claims, and what topical skincare can realistically improve. Plus, Kirbie brings her ongoing battle with the “retinol uglies” to Katy, who explains why a higher percentage doesn’t tell you everything about a formula.Murad partnered with our program, Gloss Angeles Confidential, to give 300 listeners ages 35+ the opportunity to test its Retinol ReSculpt Neck & Décolleté Lifting Serum.
