Olive Young just opened its first U.S. store — and it's nothing like Sephora or Ulta. GlowJob's Julia & Sasa break down the Pasadena flagship, the four-block opening day line, and what's actually on the shelves (spoiler: it's not all K-beauty). Then we sit down with Sarah Chung Park, CEO of Landing International — the woman behind 225+ K-beauty brand launches in the U.S. — to talk about Olive Young's new Sephora partnership, what makes a brand worth importing, and the second wave of K-beauty. What we cover: Inside the Pasadena store: 5,000 products, 400 brands, hours-long lines Why Urban Decay and CeraVe are sitting next to Korean skincare The colored contact lens section (with an ophthalmologist on-site) Why your favorite Korean sunscreens still aren't on shelves Olive Young's surprise partnership with Sephora — 700 stores, starting fall 2026 Sarah Chung Park on picking brands, the "chicken sexer" instinct, and what counts as K-beauty now New Episodes every Thursday!

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. If you’ve ever wondered whether skincare claims are legit or just marketing spin, this episode is your skincare BS translator. -------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Shop My Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.

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. Beauty is business. Business is power. And the internet is warping both.-------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Shop My Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.

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. And longevity starts at the cellular level. -------- Follow GlowJob™ Socials: Instagram Youtube GlowJob Website TikTok Shop My Email: hello@glowjobpodcast.com -------- The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter.
