  • Debunking Common Misconceptions About the Rhode Acquisition
    Jun 3 2025

    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.

  • From the Counter to Head of Global Makeup for Too Faced with Elyse Reneau
    May 30 2025

    Too Faced is known for the three Fs: fun, frills and fragrance! The packaging is perky, the scents always mouthwatering. Elyse Reneau, who has been with the company 9 years as the Head of Global Makeup, joins us to share her journey from working makeup counters and thinking she wanted to be a celebrity makeup artist to landing a gig at Too Faced — a childhood dream. She breaks down several products from the brand worth trying, from Foreplay mascara primer, which makes even the straightest lashes curl, Ribbon Wrapped Lash, their new mascara, to Pillow Balm, a juicy, decadent balm you’ll want to wear to bed and over your favorite liner or lipstick. 250 of the Glams tested it out and have fallen in love — learn why in today’s episode.

  • Do Gen Z and Gen Alpha Have it Worse Than Us When It Comes to Beauty Standards?
    May 27 2025

    First thing’s first: we break down all the magical details from Zoe’s Snow White makeover at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Disneyland. Meanwhile, Sara has her own transformation: she shares her experience getting injectables for the first time with Dr. Nancy Samolitis, which devolved into a discussion about beauty standards: do Gen Alpha and Gen Z have it harder than millennials? Plus, we break down why the once-reliable “lipstick index” might be a thing of the past, according to a new report from Business of Fashion.
