    Hailey Rhode Baldwin Bieber

    Hailey Rhode Baldwin Bieber

    {GLOSS ANGELES REWIND} Come back to June 2022 to hear our exclusive chat with Haiely Bieber!
    Hailey Bieber’s skin is as good, if not better than it appears on Instagram and TikTok. Believe (or should we say Beliebe) us — we had the chance to hang out with the newly-minted beauty entrepreneur at Rhode HQ to talk about the launch of her skincare line. But that wasn’t all we talked about either. In addition to learning why she wanted to create her own brand, Hailey also shared the treatments she gets to maintain her glazed donut skin, the relatable origin story behind pizza toast, and how she handles social media celebrity. Kirbie and Sara have also been testing the Rhode products since March and share their honest thoughts.

    We’re also discussing Sephora new #1 brand and Glossier’s OG Balm Dotcom relaunch (as reported by Puck), Gen Z’s obsession with a new brand, Naturium’s entrance into Ulta Beauty, and a new documentary that has linked some luxury fragrance brands to child labor.

    LASIK, Lumify, & Lash Growth Serums: What You Should Know About Eye Health

    LASIK, Lumify, & Lash Growth Serums: What You Should Know About Eye Health

    We’re talking all things eyes on today’s episode with Dr. Rany Woo, a cataract and refractive eye surgeon who recently did Sara’s life-changing EVO ICL procedure. We ask Dr. Rany how our eyes change as we age, the differences between all the refractive eye surgeries (LASIK vs. PRK vs. Smile), and the reason you shouldn’t be using those red eye-reducing eye drops as much as you are. She also shares the five things she would never do as an ophthalmologist, from DIY fireworks to using eyelash growth serums.

One of the simple highlights

This podcast is consistently amazing. I love the balance between friendly chatting and news/reviews/interviews. They are constantly finding ways to create really interesting and fun content and it brightens up every Tuesday and Friday! I think this, Smell Ya Later, and Fat Mascara are hands down the best beauty podcasts and they all have in common that the cohosts seem like they genuinely are friends and work together well. They have ads, but unlike other podcasts their ads don’t take up like 5 minutes straight and even their ad reads are so natural that sometimes I don’t realize for a few seconds (though it is always clear after a moment which feels really ethical, they just make it seamless which is also a rarity).
