Dating is a mess right now. Let’s just say it. In this episode, we sit down with Josie from The Everygirl to unpack what’s actually going on in modern dating — from situationships and ghosting to the rise of “exclusive" but not a relationship. We also debate: Who should make the first move (and who should pay) Why “going Dutch” can be a dealbreaker The psychology behind ghosting The difference between dating, exclusivity, and being in a relationship The “taxi cab theory” and why timing matters more than love Plus, real dating horror stories (including 39 missed calls… yes, really) and the mindset shift that makes dating way less miserable.

Ep 87We Tested Every Dupe So You Don't Have To (Trader Joe's, Ulta & More)

E

Dupes aren't underground anymore — they're a full business strategy. This week, Julia and Sasa dive deep into the dupe economy: what a dupe actually is in 2026 (hint: it's more than just a cheaper lookalike), how Trader Joe's quietly became one of the biggest beauty dupe players in the game, and which drugstore and mid-range products genuinely hold up against their high-end counterparts. They test 10 product matchups live — from Rhode vs Bubble to Drunk Elephant vs a $7 Trader Joe's oil — and rate each dupe out of 10. Spoiler: one gets a perfect score.

We also unpack Saks’ $1B bankruptcy loan and what its vendor payment crisis could mean for the future of department store beauty. Beyond the business headlines, we get into the culture shaping the industry right now — from the return of ultra-thin celebrity body trends to the surprising rise of Zyn nicotine pouches in tech offices, where companies are reportedly offering them as a workplace perk as nicotine gets rebranded as a productivity “biohack.” Plus: biotech K-beauty entering Sephora, Summer Fridays launching fragrance, Wizard Wellness (new allergy-meets-beauty brand at Ulta), and the Lipstick Lesbians launching a consumer-driven beauty incubator. -------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Shop My Email: [email protected] -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.

Ep 85Skincare Lies You’ve Been Falling For: The Truth About Beauty Claims

E

Skincare marketing is full of bold promises — “clinically proven,” “boosts collagen,” “clean beauty,” “dermatologist tested.” But what do those claims actually mean? In this episode of GlowJob, we decode the beauty industry’s biggest marketing buzzwords and explain what brands are legally allowed to say… and what they absolutely cannot. We break down the difference between cosmetics and drugs, explain how the FDA and FTC regulate skincare, and reveal why so many claims live in a gray area. You’ll also learn: Why “clinically tested” is often pay-to-play Why clean beauty has no legal definition The truth behind dermatologist-tested claims How brands manipulate before-and-after photos Why consumer perception studies can be misleading Plus, we dive into real cases where major beauty brands got into trouble with regulators — including L’Oréal, Maybelline, Sunday Riley, Ulta, and Mario Badescu.

Ep 83Looksmaxxing Is Rotting Men

E

This week on GlowJob, @saltlacroix is back and we’re diving headfirst into the viral rise of “looksmaxxing” culture — from Clavicular’s bone-smashing and crystal meth confessions to the broader male optimization movement taking over TikTok. We unpack: • What looksmaxxing actually is and how it emerged from incel forums • Clavicular’s supplement stack (testosterone, Accutane microdosing, melanotan, peptides) • Bone smashing, lantern chins, mogging — and the eugenics undertones • The rise of hyper-online male beauty standards • Why straight men struggle with skincare culture • Rage baiting, influencer controversy, and the Pat McGrath backlash • Celebrity obsession, K-pop fandom economics, and algorithm addiction • Catfishing, dating apps, and modern masculinity From male gaze vs female gaze to nihilism, algorithm-driven outrage, and the collapse of nuance online — this episode is a cultural autopsy.

S2 Ep 82Would you go on an AI Date?

E

This week’s GlowJob News Roundup covers the biggest shifts in the beauty industry — from collapsing legacy brands to luxury expansion and AI disrupting relationships. Drunk Elephant is facing a 65% sales decline under Shiseido after the Sephora kids controversy damaged its brand perception. The once-viral skincare brand has wiped its Instagram and is attempting a reset — but can Drunk Elephant recover? Glossier has laid off one-third of its workforce, raising serious questions about whether the DTC beauty model is over. Is Sephora now essential for survival? We also break down: Cardi B launching Grow Good Beauty and the surge of celebrity haircare brands Hermès officially entering the luxury skincare market Estee Lauder suing Walmart over counterfeit beauty products Ron Lauder being named 900+ times in newly released Epstein files Casey Wasserman stepping back amid Epstein-related fallout The rise of AI dating cafés in New York City OpenAI controversy over adding romantic AI companion features to ChatGPT Sol de Janeiro’s Ulta-exclusive fragrance launch and Gen Z strategy From celebrity beauty brands to luxury skincare expansion, from counterfeit marketplaces to AI girlfriend apps, this episode explores how beauty, business, and technology are colliding in 2026.

Ep 81Is NAD just for Tech Bros?

E

Is NAD the next true breakthrough in skincare…or just another longevity buzzword? This week on GlowJob, we sit down with Melisse Shaban, CEO of Aramore and former beauty executive at Revlon, Aveda, The Body Shop, Virtue Labs, and L Catterton, to unpack the real science behind NAD, cellular energy, and why longevity is not a trend — it’s a cultural shift. We cover: What NAD actually is (and why your body depends on it) Why skin is a proxy for internal health Science-washing vs real biotechnology in skincare Why topical NAD is different from IV drips and supplements How longevity intersects with muscle, hormones, sleep, and brain health Longevity isn’t about looking 25. It’s about living strong at 85. Beauty is business. Health is power.

Ep 77Is Being an Influencer Still Worth It in 2026? Here’s the Brutal Truth

E

Is being an influencer still worth it in 2026... or has the golden era officially ended? This week on GlowJob, we break down the creator economy from day one to now: from early beauty bloggers and YouTube legends like Michelle Phan, to Instagram’s glam era, to TikTok virality, and today’s rise of UGC creators and AI-powered commerce. The industry is now worth hundreds of billions globally, with brands spending $40B+ a year in the U.S. alone — but follower count no longer equals money. Virality doesn’t guarantee income. And the old “get paid to post” model is basically dead. We unpack: • Why Gen Z sees influencing as a full-time career • How FTC rules changed trust forever (ad culture) • The biggest influencer scandals (James Charles, Tati Westbrook, Jeffree Star, Chiara Ferragni) • Why UGC creators with zero followers are out-earning traditional influencers • How TikTok democratized fame • Why brands now care about conversion, not clout Plus, we sit down with Nicole Clay, co-founder of Hue, to talk about how AI, data, and UGC are reshaping how brands sell — and why everyday creators are becoming more valuable than celebrities If you’ve ever thought about becoming a creator — or you’re a brand trying to understand influencer marketing — this is your no-BS breakdown of what actually works now.

Ep 752016 Is Back: Full Glam Makeup & Instagram Nostalgia

E

SUBMIT A QUESTION TO OUR AMA! Theme = Oversharing. We'll answer your questions in a February Episode! In this episode of GlowJob, we unpack why 2016 is suddenly everywhere again — and why millennials can’t stop romanticizing it. Searches for “2016 aesthetic” are up 450% on TikTok, but this isn’t just a trend cycle. Psychologists say nostalgia is a coping mechanism for anxiety — and in an era of burnout, algorithms, AI, and constant pressure to perform, people are craving a time that felt lighter, freer, and more human. We break down what actually defined 2016: peak full-glam beauty, matte foundation, Kylie Lip Kits, and the early rise of Glossier (hello clean girl). We revisit the brands that ruled the decade and which ones quietly fell off. We also break down how different social media felt back then: chronological Instagram feeds, VSCO filters, Snapchat dog ears, and posting just for fun — not for the algorithm. Plus: the shift from loud, maximalist glam to today’s beige “clean girl” aesthetic, what happened to iconic brands like Too Faced and Kat Von D, and why we’re not actually missing the makeup… we’re missing the feeling. If you’ve ever wished the internet felt less curated and a little more unhinged... this one’s for you. -------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Shop My Email: [email protected] -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.
