We?re kicking things off with a brand-new segment: New, True, Through ? our spin on WOYF where we each share what?s new to us, what we?re loyal to, and what we?ve fully emptied (and whether it?s worth the repurchase). Sara breaks down her latest lineup from the Flaus flosser to the Mane hot round brush and a drugstore hair mask that?s giving luxury, while Kirbie shares her current obsessions, including chic allergy essentials, a cult-favorite cleanser, and a viral setting spray.

We dive into the biggest beauty launch of the week: Alix Earle?s new skincare line Reale Actives. With a reported $1M in sales in its first hour and $5M by end of day, is this the new blueprint for celebrity beauty brands? We unpack the marketing machine, the criticism (from the name to the acne discourse), and why this launch feels bigger than your typical influencer brand.

Then, style expert Dana Avida Cohn stops by to share the Spring Fashion Forecast featuring trends and items you can shop at Macy?s, a proud partner of our podcast.

Jamie also shares her best tips for women 40+, including the biggest mistakes she sees and the small tweaks that make an instant difference.

We?re recapping our SEPHORiA weekend in LA?from a VIP dinner the night before with our favorite founders and Sephora execs to getting first access at the press preview before doors opened to the public. Of course, we have thoughts: from the (very good) VIP swag bags to the not-so-happy chatter around general admission sample-size gifting.

We also break down exactly what we wore to the event, including Rare Beauty?s new True To Myself Natural Matte Longwear Foundation?a self-priming, self-setting formula we?ve been testing for months alongside the Glams through our partnership with Gloss Angeles Confidential.

Emira also spills a little influencer tea, shares the content that performs best for her today, and opens up about the biggest lessons she?s learned navigating social media, business, and beauty.

Today?s episode is for everyone ? wig wearer or not. We?re joined by Aasiyah Abdulsalam, founder of The Renatural, the innovative wig brand behind a patented skin-replica hairline that?s three times thinner than lace ? no visible grid, no residue, no tell.

Aasiyah shares how the fashion brand she founded prepared her to build a tech-forward wig company ? including developing a wig robot. We get into ethical hair sourcing, what you?re really paying for with a wig, whether automation can lower costs, and what raising $6.2M actually means.

Today?s guest is Jacquelyn De Jesu, the founder, CEO, and inventor of Shhhowercap. Built 11 years ago, Shhhowercap turned the humble shower cap into a premium, reusable staple designed to protect blowouts and styled hair from water and humidity.

Jacquelyn shares how her background as a creative director led her into beauty, her advice for founders without a ?traditional? industry path, and why protecting her invention through patents was non-negotiable while building the business.

We?re kicking things off this week asking ourselves the eternal question: why do we willingly go get waxed?! The conversation is inspired by Marcello Hernandez?s painfully accurate bit about just how brutal beauty salons can be. On that note, we?re sharing a major listener-exclusive deal with SEV Laser ? a free underarm laser hair removal treatment for first-time customers (!!).

Then we dive into What?s On Your Face?, including Saie?s new CitySet setting spray and Kirbie?s current lip-and-cheek MVPs. From there, we time-travel back to 2016 beauty trends ? think blinding highlight, matte liquid lips, bold brows, mermaid makeup, and the YouTube era that made beauty feel playful, expressive, and empowering ? and unpack why we?re all so nostalgic for that moment.

Finally, we break down the latest headline around Kendall Jenner denying plastic surgery, what Accutane can (and can?t) do to your nose, and why face-analysis culture online is getting increasingly out of hand.

Part of this episode is sponsored by Saie. We partnered with them on this content, but all thoughts and opinions are our own.

Then we dive into influencer Whitney Wagner Hartley?s ?Marked Safe from MAHA? campaign and unpack what MAHA actually is, why it?s tied to anti-vax/anti-science rhetoric, and how her pledge is pushing beauty and wellness brands to publicly reject that messaging and commit to sharing inclusive, science-backed health info instead. Will brands and retailers catch on? Finally, we get into the lash economy: traditional strip lashes and classic black mascara are on the decline, while ?ghost lashes,? underlash clusters, lash serums, and skinified formulas are having a moment ? plus the rise of tubing, brown, and burgundy/glitter ?accent? mascaras that are quietly reshaping what a lash wardrobe looks like in 2025.

We made our Wicked dreams come true, now we just need Miss ?Moi? herself to join us.

Today is a treat because we have founder and product developer Sarah Creal as our guest! You?ve heard us wax poetic about Sarah?s namesake brand, but in this episode you?ll get to learn how influential she truly is in the industry and how the products we use today are largely inspired by her creations. She explains the hardships that come with creating a brand focused on women 40+ and why she felt it was important to launch anyway, the five products she developed that are her holy grails (from Prescriptives to Tom Ford), how she got into the beauty industry with no experience, working with Victoria Beckham, ?aging gracefully?, and what luxury means now in beauty.

Glams, this week we're thrilled to share an episode from IMO?s limited series The Look. In the series, Michelle Obama opens up for the first time about her journey as a defining force in style?both within and beyond the White House. Through candid, intimate conversations with the creative minds behind her hair, makeup, and wardrobe, she reveals how she and her team transformed the scrutiny of her public image into a celebration of self-expression, inclusion, and impact. For many Black women, caring about their hair isn?t a choice ? it?s a cultural inheritance, a political statement and a lifelong journey. In this episode, our friend and Beauty Editor-at-Large of Cosmopolitan, Julee Wilson, leads a candid discussion between Michelle, her hairstylist Yene Damtew and Blackish actress Marsai Martin about their personal hair journeys, and and how Michelle?s hair evolution both mirrored and, for some, even inspired their own.

We've got a lot of news, Glams. We're starting with the announcement that Diarrha N?Diaye-Mbaye, the founder of Ami Colé, is stepping in as EVP of Beauty & Fragrance at Skims and discussing what that signals for Kim K?s brand (actual shade work + real-skin finishes) and why the internet?s convo about Black women building the culture still matters here. We also break down Dua Lipa x Augustinus Bader?s DUA launch ? does this make sense or are you all as confused as we are? ? and wrap with perhaps the most controversial launch of Q4 so far: Rini, Shay Mitchell?s K-beauty?inspired line for kids that is promoting "everyday" sheet masks for toddlers. Yikes.

DermTok?s busiest man is back! This week we?re catching up with Dr. Shah on what life actually looks like as one of the most in-demand dermatologists on social, while still seeing patients in clinic and taking care of a new baby at home. He breaks down what people get wrong about derms who create content and how launching his own line, Remedy, shifted the way he thinks about formulas, trends, and what actually deserves the hype. We?re also talking about what dermatologists are really discussing behind the scenes, including the current state of sunscreen.
