Gloss Angeles

Hyram Yarbro was born and raised on a cattle ranch in Arizona to a Mormon Family, not paying much attention to skincare. After moving to Hawaii, getting a sunburn (how times have changed!) and needing a product to help conceal the redness, he ventured into a Sephora and learned quickly the power of cosmetics. Fast forward to 2017, Hyram launched his Youtube channel, advocating for his audience to learn more about the ingredients in their skincare.

In 2020, Hyram was the #1 skinfluencer on Youtube and TikTok, filming 5-6 videos a week along with creating content for TikTok and Instagram. After reviewing a variety of brands, he was determined to create his own. He was about to order all the components to create his own products when he took a meeting with Mark and Colette of The Inkey List. It was then that Selfless by Hyram was born.

We spoke with Hyram about a variety of things, from how his religion growing up impacted his work ethic, his mental health as a content creator, how many brands reach out to him (per week!) to work with him, the causes his brand directly gives back to, and of course had to ask him about his ingredient preferences. Selfless by Hyram is available at Sephora now!

If you've ever considered microneedling for things like fine lines, skin texture or decompressed acne scars — or have had a microneedling appointment before — this episode is for you! We're thrilled to partner with Aesthetics Biomedical on this episode, the company behind Vivace RF Microneedling. Vivace is known as one of the most sought-after name-brand professional microneedling treatments, as it's minimally invasive and helps promote the production of collagen along with radio frequency. To explain more about this technology and go in-depth about all things microneedling, we have board-certified cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Ava Shamban on the show today as our expert. We lay out who it's best for, what exactly it does and doesn't treat, what to expect during a treatment, how to find a provider and more. Dr. Shamban explains the difference between at-home and professional treatments, how pairing microneedling with radio frequency can take your treatment to the next level, plus aftercare advice.

It's Wednesday (sorry we're a day late!) and we have a lot of celebrity beauty headlines to cover. First up, the Prince Estate has collaborated with Urban Decay on an upcoming collection. Kirbie and Sara share their thoughts (and the missed product opportunities –– When Doves Cry-liner, anyone?). Sara tries to hide her jealousy of Lori Harvey (and fails), who is not only launching a skincare brand, but is testing it on BF Michael "Bae" Jordan. Lil Yachty has us excited about his upcoming nail paint launch, Crete, and we have ideas on how the applicator may be a point of differentiation for the brand. In Instagram drama, people can't stop talking about a Beauty Blender video (let alone the brand's response to the discourse). And we wrap things up with some industry news: Beirsdorf is refuting claims that artificial blue light affects the skin, while Jessica Alba is getting that money, Honey, as Honest Company goes public. Plus, Sara's sweet pout is shouting out a new Chanel gloss-balm hybrid for WOYF that's perfect for getting back into public.

Do you think about Britney Spears? Like, in general? It’s no secret Kirbie does — A LOT. In our second podswap of the month, we have the host of Dunzo!, Troy McEady, on to discuss Britney and the conversation that revolves around her hair. Dunzo! revisits celebrity relationships you thought you knew everything about. A true pop culture historian with a memory like a steel trap, Troy discusses those pop culture moments of yesteryear that live rent-free in your head. From album reviews to deep dives on your favorite celebrity romances (or showmances, if you will), Troy is a respected voice in the industry and we’re thrilled to have him as our guest!

Today we’re covering everything from where the conservatorship stands today to what Britney shaving her head signified in her life and in her career, and why we should rethink the narrative — or hairattive, if you will — that was shaped around that moment in time.

We’re kicking off Sustainability Month with our first guest! Twenty five years ago, long before “clean” beauty was a buzzword, Brook Harvey-Taylor launched Pacifica Beauty. Now, she’s considered the godmother of the movement, dedicating her life’s work to creating quality beauty that’s accessible to everyone and better for our planet. During our interview, Brook shares how she got her start selling perfumes at Grateful Dead concerts, how the term “clean” has evolved over the last three decades, and what people may not know about “greenwashing” in the sustainable beauty space.

If Gloss Angeles had a third co-host, we’d nominate David Yi. In addition to being the Editor-in-Chief of Very Good Light, the author of the upcoming book Pretty Boys, and founder of Biden Beauty — yes, the one from the 2020 Election! — the multihyphenate has decided to launch his very own gender-inclusive skincare brand called Good Light. On this episode, David talks about his mission to redefine beauty and masculinity, how he deals with imposter syndrome, and what makes his skincare products different and better than what’s currently out there. He’s also generously offering Glamgelenos a very good discount on the products, so be sure to listen to the entire episode to see what it is and use our code! Danny DeVito, we hope you're listening!

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to create a beauty product from scratch, consider today’s episode your first lesson. Our guest knows A LOT about making makeup and skincare products from ideation to launch, thanks to his decade-long career working in the industry. Daniel Kiyoi became the Creative Director of Tarte at just 26 years old and is responsible for helping create and design some of the brand’s most popular products. Now, he’s creating beauty brands under his own incubator agency called Magic Dusk. (That Luminizer Kirbie was raving about a few episodes ago? That’s Daniel’s co-creation.) Daniel chats with us about how he landed in the industry, how his mom’s career at Mary Kay influenced his passion for beauty, and what entrepreneurs should know about starting their own line.

The business of beauty is a big one, but when it comes down to it, there are eight mega companies that have a hold on the cosmetic market and own a huge number of our favorite makeup, hair, and skincare brands. On today’s episode, we break down which brands are sisters and what parent conglomerates own them, from L’Oreal to LVMH. You might be surprised to learn that your favorite drugstore lipstick is made by the same company that formulates your go-to luxury moisturizer. That said, just because a company owns different brands doesn't mean they swap trade secrets, or even that their formulas change. Learn about what companies own what brands, which incubators are on the rise, and get your top acquisition questions answered.

You don’t need to be a fan of the show ‘Euphoria’ to understand the impact Donni Davy’s makeup artistry has had on the industry, let alone pop culture. Those rhinestone-studded cat eyes or glitter tears that’s been crowding your IG feed? It’s all thanks to Donni’s influence. And while we’re obsessed with the bold and unapologetic makeup movement she helped start, there is so much more to Donni’s work than meets the eye (no pun intended). On today’s episode, we sit down (virtually, of course) with the Emmy award-winning makeup artist to hear how she got her start on Craigslist, what it’s like to be a makeup department head, and how she develops the looks for her characters, both for TV and film. She also shares the one product that is always in her kit (surprise, it’s affordable!) and discusses her new face decal collaboration with Face Lace. Makeup lovers, aspiring MUAs, and ‘Euphoria’ fans do not want to miss this episode!

A few weeks back, we raved about the one and only Droplette: a misting device that uses technology to deliver ingredients not on top of the skin, but into the skin. Looking for a solution for a medical disorder, founders Madhavi Gavini and Rathi Srinivas saw the value Droplette offered the skincare industry, and thus a device was born. We had so many questions about the product itself after featuring it on What's on Your Face that we figured the best people to answer your questions would be the founders themselves! If you're considering getting a Droplette, listen to this ep first to learn the science behind it, how it works, the proper way to use it, and what ingredients they have to offer. If you decide it's something you'd want to invest in, use code GLOSSANGELES at checkout to get $50 off your purchase!

We are still in shock from the news that after 20 years, Becca Cosmetics will cease operations in September. We have our thoughts on what could have ultimately lead to the downfall of the cosmetics brand. In our new (and certainly recurring) segment Celebrity Skin, we have a slew of celebrity launches to discuss. (Yes, more!) We dive into one of the incubators behind many celebrity-lead brands to give intel on what we may see more of in the future. Plus, there's a ton of new product launches you'll want to be on the lookout for, from a new setting powder from a Sara-beloved brand to body makeup from Robyn "Rihanna" Fenty herself. This week Kirbie caps off the show with a luminizer you'll be gunning to get your hands on.

In 2015, Melissa Butler pitched her brilliant business on ‘Shark Tank’ — a bold, colorful, and inclusive beauty line that she believed would disrupt the market. She was rejected and criticized, but that didn’t stop her. Years later, The Lip Bar would become one of Target’s best-selling makeup brands, garnering a huge fan base which included the likes of Michelle Obama (more on that in the episode!). Now, Melissa is partnering with Walmart to make her incredible beauty products even more accessible to everyone. In our interview, Melissa shares how she got into Target (it involves a blind email), the sacrifices she had to make to grow the brand, and why she’s so excited about working with a corporate retail giant, despite its bad rep. Plus, Melissa shares a Gloss Angeles exclusive having to do with her organization The BLK PACT — you don’t want to miss it.

When it comes to celebrity estheticians in Hollywood, Kate Somerville is the OG. Kirbie and Sara have been longtime fans of Kate and her products, as well as her famous clinic on Melrose Place. But there’s a lot more to know about Kate than the famous faces she’s worked on or the skincare she’s made. In our interview with the legend herself, Kate shares stories about growing up in a barn, her battle with eczema, and how she transformed Janet Gaynor's (the first woman to win an Academy Award) old home into a beauty institution. We also picked her brain about the future of aesthetics, why peptides are so necessary, and the latest addition to her skincare range, KateCeuticals.

In honor of Valentine's Day — or Galentine's Day as we like to call it over here at Gloss Angeles — we have Matthew Herman, co-founder of Boy Smells, on the pod to discuss all things candles, fragrance, and emotions (specifically the ones that certain scents can evoke). Matthew and his partner David Kien founded the brand in their LA kitchen as an experiment back in 2016 and now, Boy Smells is one of the most popular candle brands on the market. They even have a collab with the one and only Kacey Musgraves (you've heard Kirbie talk about their "Slow Burn" candle on the pod, no doubt). In this episode, Matthew shares how they transitioned from fashion to candles, what the process is like when creating different scents, and the upcoming launch of the brand's new "cologne de parfums," launching March 2nd.

Don't be offended — we've been in your exact position. That's why we're sharing our tips on how to avoid these three extremely common mistakes you're making when it comes to your skincare routine. They may sound like common sense, or they may surprise you — it's hard to know since skincare is so personal. It's a topic we're commonly asked about and we hope this guide helps you get out of skincare any skincare drama you may be entangled in, from bad application habits to purchasing for the wrong reasons.

Before we dive into that, we're sharing our thoughts on influencers and makeup artists partying during the pandemic and how we plan on covering them moving forward, plus we're introducing a new format for What's on Your Face. This week, Sara details her love of a hairdryer than's not only affordable but lightweight, powerful and s'cute.

Emma Chamberlain is an entrepreneur, which is more than a lot of us could say when we were 19, amirite? She's also a global sensation with over 12M Instagram followers, 9M+ Youtube subscribers and over 1B views on the platform. Everyone wants a piece of Emma and she's happy to oblige — she's a content creator, podcaster, coffee company owner and now Creative Director and Global Brand Ambassador for Bad Habit, a new line of skincare staples priced between $18-$28. We fell in love with her during a press day for the brand so we had to have her on the pod! She details what products she can't live without, what it's been like looking back at herself on Youtube, how she balanced a rigorous Accutane prescription in an effort to get rid of her acne and what she learned about skincare along the way.

TikTok is the reason many of us have kept our sanity this year due to its thriving algorithm and insanely watchable videos. There's tons of beauty gems to be found but also quite a few ideas we wouldn't recommend partaking in. Today we're explaining the best and worst of trends from the 'Tok, from creating dark circles with makeup (???) to a lawsuit that has many TikTok users throwing out their shampoo and conditioner. Before you overhaul your haircare, listen to today's ep to get a handle on what's really happening.

We also discuss two products we are super impressed by this week: drops that instantly dry your nail polish and a new beauty brand that doesn't compromise on performance while also making products that are truly Earth-friendly.

We've wanted to make this episode for awhile now! We got to chatting about brands and products we're obsessed with but don't show enough love on the podcast. All that changes today! We're singing the praises of 6 brands, including skincare, makeup and haircare saviors. These brands have been tried and trues throughout our lives, from the drugstore brand Sara was purchasing long before she was a beauty editor to a serum Kirbie used to steal from her mom in high school. (Sorry Janet!) We explain the stories that make these brands so great and highlight a few products from each to help curate your next beauty outing.

Glamgelenos, today’s episode is our 100th! In the words of our dear friend JVN, can you believe?! We’re celebrating the milestone with two guests we’ve long admired — Jennifer Sullivan and Jessica Matlin of Fat Mascara! These two have been in the beauty podcast game since 2016, paving the way for others like ours. Because we have their brilliant beauty journalist brains on the pod (and because it’s the end of the year), we thought it’d be fun to look to 2021 and talk about beauty trends we think are going to be big. From the newly-crowned beauty influencer to a groundbreaking molecule, tune in to hear what we predict will be all the rage next year.
