About GlowJob™ Podcast:

The only podcast to make you hotter AND smarter! GlowJob is the beauty podcast that’s MORE than skin deep. Join your go-to-best friend duo, Julia Bellary and Sasa Li, as they explore the stories shaping the industry and dive into the conversations you actually want to hear. From beauty to business to pop culture, let’s redefine what it means to be part of the beauty community - one episode at a time.

In this unfiltered episode of GlowJob, we break down the viral “Republican Makeup” trend that exploded on TikTok—originally posted as satire by creator Suzanne Lambert and now a full-blown culture war over contour, concealer lips, and 2016 brows. Yes, even dry patches and side parts are political now.

We decode the aesthetic that has the internet spiraling—and why it ended up in the pages of The Wall Street Journal.

Then, we get into the weird (and slightly terrifying) world of politically-coded brands. From liberal-coded icons like Glossier, Fenty, and Patagonia to conservative-coded cult faves like Mary Kay, IT Cosmetics, and even Yeti Coolers—why does everything suddenly scream red or blue?

We also unpack the rise of Tradwife TikTok and Femininity-core—where ultra-feminine beauty and homemaker vibes are either reclaiming feminism or rejecting it altogether. Is it a soft-life rebellion… or just really good branding?

Finally, we ask: why is everything—your makeup, your lunch, your water bottle—a political statement? Is it that deep, or are we just chronically online?

👄 Part culture commentary, part comedy, fully unfiltered. Hit play and prepare to be offended—in a good way.

From the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen recall to the latest trends in packaging, we’re spilling all the juicy details. But the real highlight? We got up close and personal with Isamaya’s viral phallic-shaped lipstick… let’s just say it’s got some serious package appeal.

🔍White labeling is the real beauty secret you need to know—why is everyone suddenly all about it?

💭 Are beauty brands really pushing boundaries, or just repackaging the same old products? We’re getting into the behind-the-scenes and our cheeky takes on what’s going down.

💄 From metal tips to eco-friendly designs, we’re unpacking the luxury packaging trends and asking: are they here to stay or just a flash in the bottle?

In this episode of GlowJob, we’re diving into the world of medical tourism for cosmetic procedures—the viral “transformation vacations” that have people flying to South Korea, Turkey, Brazil, and Mexico for everything from nose jobs and BBLs to hair transplants and veneers.

We break down the costs, risks, and realities of going under the knife abroad, including the most popular destinations, shocking medical tourism statistics, and the hidden dangers—from botched surgeries and sepsis to the dark side of the organ black market.

Plus, we explore how TikTok and Instagram have made medical tourism look like the ultimate glow-up, and whether social media is setting unrealistic beauty expectations. And of course, we apply a little Girl Math to see if these procedures really save you money—or just cost you more in the long run.

Would you travel for cosmetic surgery? We share our takes, plus tips for staying safe if you’re considering it. Tune in for all the glam, the cautionary tales, and the unfiltered truth about medical tourism! ✈️💉

From humble beginnings to global domination, Estée Lauder built a billion-dollar beauty empire that redefined skincare and luxury cosmetics. A true industry pioneer, Josephine "Estée" Lauder revolutionized beauty marketing—introducing free samples, the gift-with-purchase model, and an exclusive brand image that made luxury skincare both accessible and aspirational.

But today, the brand is facing some of its toughest challenges yet—its stock has plunged to a 12-year low, it's grappling with major layoffs, and internal family drama between cousins William and Jane made headlines last year. In this episode, we dive into Estée Lauder’s groundbreaking legacy, uncover the secrets behind its meteoric rise, and explore the internal turmoil, corporate missteps, and fierce competition shaking its reign.

Is this the downfall of a beauty giant? Tune in for the inside scoop on one of the industry’s biggest powerhouses.
