Gloss Angeles

This week, we’re getting into everything we’ve been doing in the name of beauty—treatments, tweaks, and… stem cells?!

Sara kicks things off with a full rundown of her recent visit to the new Things We Do location in West Hollywood, where she tried Sculptra, Skinvive, and PRFM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix). What is PRFM, how is it different from PRP, and why is everyone talking about it right now? Then, Kirbie shares her experience with a next-gen peel from Australian brand UltraCeuticals that she’s eager to see the results of.

And finally: we both took things to the next level with Acorn Bio Labs at Facile—yes, we did stem cell retrieval. We’re breaking down what it is, why we did it, and what this could mean for the future of beauty (more to come here…).

In news, we’re talking about Susan Yara’s new-ish brand launch: Playa. (Sound familiar? There's a reason.) What can we expect? We’re breaking it down.

We’re joined by Deepica Mutyala, the creator-turned-founder who built Live Tinted into one of the most culturally impactful brands at Ulta Beauty. We get into her founder routine, the early audience insights that gave her an edge before “creator-founder” was even a term, and why nailing the complexion category is so important to her. We also talk hero products (is it Huestick or Hueguard?), unexpected hits and misses, and what it really takes to stand out on shelves at Ulta. Plus, Deepica shares her honest take on whether beauty has actually become more inclusive or just better at marketing it—and how she keeps Live Tinted grounded in its mission as it scales.

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.
