She grew up next to Joni Mitchell, kicked off her styling career traveling the world with Sarah Michelle Gellar, and has styled the hair of now three Best Actress winners at the Oscars. (Including THE Michelle Yeoh.) Needless to say, Mara Roszak has had somewhat of a charmed existence and, at the same time, seems to be a good luck charm herself. The celebrity hairdesser started working with Emma Stone when she was 17 and is known for her effortless, Laurel Canyon-esque style. She's on the show today to pull back the curtain on how the day of the Oscars goes for a stylist of her calibur, working on several clients — including a Best Actress nominee (and eventual winner) — plus shares details on her new haircare brand Roz.

The Elusive Barbara Sturm with Writer Brennan Kilbane (Plus More Headlines)
Today we have a jam-packed news episode. Writer Brennan Kilbane joins Kirbie to discuss his recent story for Air Mail Look, Linda Wells's new publication, about the Barbara Sturm and what makes her so mysterious (and fascinating). He also shares what happens behind-the-scenes as a writer who regulary does celebrity features. Then we're diving into why people can't stop talking about the "Bold Glamour" filter. Why does it look so real? And how is this being used in film and television? Lastly, we're getting into media literacy by explaining how and why certain celebrities are always being written about (and also what people on Tiktok in particular are getting very wrong about this), as well as why Lady Gaga's makeup remover story was the smartest story to come from Oscars coverage. Kirbie also touches on two products that are currently on her face.Shop this 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.

Telling a Story Through Fragrance with Chriselle Lim, Founder of Phlur
Chriselle Lim has been a force in the fashion world 15 years. It's not surprise that she took the beauty industry by storm with her brand Phlur, which launched the fan-favorite Missing Person in 2022. Missing Person was able to capture the attention of Tiktok, where people shared how the fragrance brought them nostalgic memories of loved ones. Fragrance is notoriously difficult to market as smelling it is a big part of securing a purchase, but solely through word of mouth on social media, you couldn't find Missing Person anywhere. Chriselle share's with us her entire makeup and treatment routine, why "skin musk" will be the top fragrance trend of 2023, how to find our signature fragrance, her thoughts on the current state of influencer culture, and a lot more.

Why Can't TikTok Properly Attribute Decades-Old Makeup Techniques?
Big news, Glams! Sara had her baby boy this week! Congratulations to Mom, Dad, Zoe and Ollie! That means Kirbie is solo for a news breakdown. First, she shares why she was on the beautiful island of Mauritius with Fresh Beauty and then dives into her WOYF for the week: an excellent sunscreen that she picked up from the Dubai airport and has both UVA and UVB protection. On the news front, we're curious to hear your thoughts about Glossier as the brand officially enters 600 Sephora stores in the US and Canada this week. Call the hotline and share your hot takes and passionate odes to the brand. And finally, we need to talk about ownership of trends. Sometimes it's warranted — like the dark lip liner trend, for instane. But many creators on TikTok like to take credit for decades-old beauty techniques that they did not create. This time it's draping, a blush application technique that essentially contours the face, sculpting the cheeks upwards and dousing the eyelid in the process. This look was created by makeup icon Way Bandy in the '70s... long before anyone started creating videos about it on social media. Enjoy a mini history lesson on the subject.
