• From Girlfriends to Global Icon: The Beautyblender Story, As Told To Us By Founder Rea Ann Silva Herself

  Hi Glams! Just general PSA that we will be taking the week off next week. See you for our anniversary on 7/8! She’s the mastermind behind one of the most revolutionary tools in beauty history: the Beautyblender. This week, we are joined by legendary makeup artist and founder Rea Ann Silva for a conversation that goes way beyond the sponge. Rea Ann takes us back to the '90s, reflecting on her experience as one of the go-to MUAs for Black actors and artists, and how that ultimately led her to create the Beautyblender while working on the set of Girlfriends. She walks us through how exactly she invented the sponge, how she grew it from set secret to global phenomenon, and why you won’t find a patent on it. Plus, Rea Ann reveals the five products she always keeps in her kit, and gives us the inside scoop on the most underrated Beautyblender product that she believes deserves way more hype.Shop Rea Ann's episode Watch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

• Debunking Common Misconceptions About the Rhode Acquisition

  Two big pieces of news this last week, and of course we’re covering what many would consider the headline of the year: Rhode was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty ahead of its third birthday. In a year when M&A has been relatively quiet (we didn’t forget you, Touchland!), this sent waves throughout the entire internet. And everyone has thoughts or at the very least questions, so we’re detailing what’s actually happening now that Rhode is officially e.l.f. property. Then, we discuss Tower 28’s new sunscreen. We both personally love it, but the marketing of it as a universal tint with no white cast has been heavily criticized from those with deep and dark skin tones. We ruminate on why the sunscreen launch has triggered such a response when many brands have launched with the same marketing with similar products.Shop this episodeWatch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
