Gloss Angeles

This week, we’re diving into the latest beauty news — starting with the growing epidemic of over-the-top brand mailers, from performers showing up at your door to giant, impossible-to-ignore deliveries (very The Devil Wears Prada). Then, it’s time for “Misscontinued,” where we mourn the products that still live rent-free in our heads — especially Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Velvet Noir mascara, Omega Bronze, and those iconic magnetic lipsticks — which leads us to a major update: Marc Jacobs Beauty is officially returning in June 2026!!! We also get into a quick update on Pat McGrath and what’s next for the legendary artist and her brand.

This week, we’re joined by Nour Tayara, founder of AORA and a beauty industry veteran on a mission to make beauty plastic-free. After nearly two decades at L’Oréal, Nour pulls back the curtain on what he learned about waste, overconsumption, and the myths we’ve been sold about “luxury” packaging. We get into how AORA is rethinking sustainability from the ground up, why Mexico is central to the brand’s story (and how to do that respectfully), plus the real data behind building a purpose-driven beauty brand.

We’re recapping everything you need to know from Ulta Beauty World—the brands, the booths, the chaos, and the criticisms. From hosting the masterclasses to hitting the expo floor with 3,000 beauty lovers (and a lot of product), we’re breaking down what this event actually looks like behind the scenes—and why it’s become one of the biggest moments in beauty retail.

We get into the standout booths, the brands we discovered and loved, and the logistics people don’t realize—like what it really costs to show up as a brand. Plus, we address the biggest critiques of the event (influencers, tickets, accessibility) and give context on how it all actually works.

Alexandra French is back! Every makeup artist’s favorite makeup artist returns to catch us up on everything since her last visit. We get into her WOYF staples (she brought her entire makeup bag with her!) and why she approaches makeup through the lens of character and storytelling. We also talk about how TikTok has made her better at her job, what brands are doing right (and wrong) from a MUA perspective, and her thoughts on Euphoria season 3 glam. Plus, she shares behind-the-scenes truths from working across film and fashion, and answers your listener questions, including the makeup tips you actually want to know.

We’re kicking things off with a big announcement: we’re officially hosting Ulta Beauty World this year (!!). If you’re going, come find us—we’ll be on the ground, on Ulta’s socials, and of course recapping everything on the pod.

Are you excited about Euphoria’s latest and final season? Kirbie is! The show’s head of makeup and Half Magic founder Donni Davy is launching a 9-piece collection in Ulta Beauty on 4/29. We get into the hero products (including the Euphoria palette and a gloss called “Bitch You’re My Soulmate”), the collectible packaging, and what this moment means.

Finally, we report back from Coachella with a full breakdown of the brand activations, from our VIP treatment with Neutrogena to the rise of influencer “theme houses.” Who won the weekend? We’re calling out the brands that got it right (and why the stakes keep getting higher).
