This episode is brought to you by Amika as part of our Gloss Angeles Confidential program. With so many ingredients villainized and greenwashing running amuck, you might be surprised to learn how Amika CEO Chelsea Riggs feels about sulfates and dimethicone in your hair care, as well as the problems being a sustainable brand can present. Chelsea has been a founding member of Amika for the last 15 years, taking the company from a tools brand to one of the top 5 hair care brands on the market. She discusses with us what they’re up against when it comes to formulating, the brand’s hero ingredient sea buckthorn berry, and why the new lipid-restoring, 3-in-1 Superfruit Star Lightweight Styling Oil is unlike any other you’ve tried.

In this jam-packed episode, we’re going through some new launches, from Rare Beauty’s new contour to Jones Road’s new gel liner. Then we’re dissecting a TikTok video that claims device company Medicube is responsible for her experiencing Bell’s Palsy and what the brand is doing to combat those claims. Then, are you a fan of First Aid Beauty? They’ve recalled a product and we’re confused about the reasoning.

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.

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.
