All the Details on K18's New Hair Volume Innovation Feb 25, 2025

Show notes

Segments of this episode are sponsored by our friends at K18. As always, we vet and approve all products and brands we promote on the podcast.

If you're looking for thicker, fuller hair, K18 has a new innovation for you to try. But first: Sara went viral last week after reuniting with Justin Bieber after 15 years. Kirbie and Sara got to preview the insanely successful Rhode pop-up store before it opened to the public, Biebs was there, and the rest is history.

Then we reveal the product we've been testing (and teasing) since November: K18 Astrolift! This volumizing spray is humidity-proof, promises to give touchable volume + bounce for up to 2 days, and is buildable and lightweight. But don't take our word for it: several Glamgelenos have been testing Astrolift and we're sharing a few of their reviews, which you can also read for yourself on K18's website!

Show notes

Take our survey! http://bit.ly/glossangeles-survey

Have a question about the beauty industry? Chances are, it’s covered in this episode. Our guests today are one of our favorite accounts to follow due to their thorough, fun and accurate content: The Lipstick Lesbians! Product developer Alexis Androulakis and education technology expert Dr. Christina Basias Androulakis join us on the pod — we wish we had several more hours to interview them!

They share how nearing bankruptcy ultimately lead to their success (and why you shouldn’t self-fund your own brand if at all possible), how Christina encouraged Alexis to begin making content about where products come from and how they work, and then answer listener-submitted questions, including why removing talc has ruined so many of our favorite powder products, why do some products look one way in the bottle but different on the skin, how to find your perfect foundation color match, how tariffs are going to affect product development in the beauty space, and why so many brands launch the same products within a short period of time. Plus, they reveal more about LLab — an 8-hour online master class with a framework developed by Christina and taught by Alexis that shares the nuance of products and is a tool to help everyone from consumers to experts.

Why Sought-After Esthetician Joomee Song Doesn’t Recommend Retinol and More of Her Skin Secrets Feb 14, 2025

Show notes

For Joomee Song, the secret to facial sculpting is all in the hands—no fancy gadgets, no high-tech tools, just her fingers. The Los Angeles-based esthetician and founder of Faceworks Inc. has a client roster that reads like an awards show red carpet (think: Lady Gaga, Zendaya, Greta Lee, Sydney Sweeney, and more), all of whom swear by her signature KAIKA™ facial sculpting massage—a technique rooted in deep facial massage, chiropractic Shiatsu, and Japanese microcurrent therapy. Fittingly, Kaika means "to bloom" in Japanese.

In this episode, Joomee shares how growing up in Japan and watching her grandmother’s skincare rituals shaped her holistic approach, why she believes skincare routines as of late are way too aggressive, and whether facial massage can replace your actives. Plus, she breaks down how overusing one side of your body can lead to facial asymmetry and her go-to massage techniques for sculpting your face at home.
