How to Incorporate a High Percentage of Vitamin C Into Your Routine with Paul Baek, Founder of Matter of Fact
You've likely heard people sing the praises of MATTER OF FACT, the brand created by today's guest, Paul Baek. Paul is not only the founder but formulator and CEO of the the award-winning skincare brand. After becoming a K-Pop singer in the early 2000s following his studies at Harvard, Paul spent years of research and development to create one of MATTER OF FACT's first products, a high-potency 20% vitamin C serum. He's on the pod to share how his career as a K-Pop star influenced how he took care of his skin, what he learned about skincare from Korea, and how MATTER OF FACT separates itself from other skincare brands — including the fact that their vitamin C is not only highly concentrated and waterless, but also holds its efficacy 19 months after use.Shop Paul's episodeGlossAngelesPod.comhttps://linktr.ee/glossangelespodCALL US: 424-341-0426Shop products from our episodesJoin our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/glossangelespodcastInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.comWatch our episodes!Shop our episodesInstagram: @glossangelspod | TikTok: @glossangelespodEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

How Annie Lawless's Autoimmune Diagnoses Lead Her to Create Two Beloved Brands
Annie Lawless has created not one but two explosive brands in her career, including Lawless, a fan-favorite Sephora-exclusive cosmetics line. Annie's untraditional foray into the beauty industry perhaps gives her a leg-up on her competitors — she went from selling in prestige grocery stores to creating makeup. Annie details how her career was heavily influenced by the autoimmune diseases she was diagnosed with as a child, and how that lead her to create a brand that could compete with the high-end legacy brands that were free of traditional ingredients she was looking to avoid. Listen to how Annie grew her first business — sold it — and what types of performance-based ingredients set Lawless apart.

Makeup Artist and Hollywood Historian Erin Parsons Wants Us to "Embrace the Fantasy"
Erin Parsons has captivated TikTok, Youtube and Instagram with her incredible historically-accurate makeup tutorials and fascinating makeup recipe recreations. Prior to amassing nearly 3 million followers across those platforms, she was obsessed with classic movies and makeup, leading her to assist Dame Pat McGrath and eventually work with supermodels like Gigi Hadid and Gisele, all of the top fashion magazines, and become Maybelline's Global Makeup Artist. She joins Kirbie on the pod to discuss how people consumed makeup back in days of Marilyn Monroe and how stars really "sold the fantasy" before things like high definition cameras came into the picture, how researching and learning about makeup has helped her to procure some iconic cosmetic artifacts — like pieces from Monroe's actual makeup kit — what she hopes we bring back from the early aughts, and her favorite drugstore makeup recommendations.Shop Erin's picks hereSubscribe to Erin's Youtube channelGlossAngelesPod.comhttps://linktr.ee/glossangelespodCALL US: 424-341-0426Shop products from our episodesJoin our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/glossangelespodcastInstagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.comWatch our episodes!Shop our episodesInstagram: @glossangelspod | TikTok: @glossangelespodEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
