Gloss Angeles

Today’s guest is Jacquelyn De Jesu, the founder, CEO, and inventor of Shhhowercap. Built 11 years ago, Shhhowercap turned the humble shower cap into a premium, reusable staple designed to protect blowouts and styled hair from water and humidity. Made with breathable, hydrophobic nanotech fabric that repels water, is antibacterial, machine washable, and backed by seven patents, the brand is a testament to thoughtful design and innovation in beauty. Jacquelyn shares how her background as a creative director led her into beauty, her advice for founders without a “traditional” industry path, and why protecting her invention through patents was non-negotiable while building the business. Plus, what happens when your patent is challenged and the outcome of Shhhowercap’s 2023 jury trial.

We’re kicking things off this week asking ourselves the eternal question: why do we willingly go get waxed?! The conversation is inspired by Marcello Hernandez’s painfully accurate bit about just how brutal beauty salons can be. On that note, we’re sharing a major listener-exclusive deal with SEV Laser — a free underarm laser hair removal treatment for first-time customers (!!).

Then we dive into What’s On Your Face?, including Saie’s new CitySet setting spray and Kirbie’s current lip-and-cheek MVPs. From there, we time-travel back to 2016 beauty trends — think blinding highlight, matte liquid lips, bold brows, mermaid makeup, and the YouTube era that made beauty feel playful, expressive, and empowering — and unpack why we’re all so nostalgic for that moment.

Finally, we break down the latest headline around Kendall Jenner denying plastic surgery, what Accutane can (and can’t) do to your nose, and why face-analysis culture online is getting increasingly out of hand.

Part of this episode is sponsored by Saie. We partnered with them on this content, but all thoughts and opinions are our own.

We’re joined by Erica Taylor, a professional makeup artist with nearly 30 years of experience, the internet’s go-to voice for women over 40, and the Global Makeup Coach at IT Cosmetics. With a community of more than three million followers, Erica has built a loyal audience by demystifying makeup for midlife skin, blending expert technique with refreshing honesty. Erica breaks down her current must-haves and explains why skin-first, forgiving formulas matter more than ever for mature skin. From her early days in portrait painting and working makeup counters to navigating social media as the “midlife makeup guru,” Erica opens up about aging in a youth-obsessed industry, the makeup mistakes women over 40 should stop making ASAP, and the realities of being an influencer later in life.

This episode is made possible by IT Cosmetics, as part of Gloss Angeles Confidential.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is in the studio! From Buffy and Cruel Intentions to Scooby-Doo and beyond, she helped define an entire era, and she’s here to talk beauty, her go-to products, and aging. We dive into how her relationship with beauty has changed over the years, her most nostalgic ’90s and early-2000s product obsessions, and what it was really like being an It Girl before social media existed. Sarah also opens up about raising Gen Z kids in the age of skincare TikTok and how she keeps beauty from becoming an obsession. And yes — we talk Buffy, including what finally made her say yes to revisiting the series and what fans can expect next.

Glams, today we’re joined by Sarah Hindsgaul, a two-time Emmy–nominated hair designer from Denmark best known for creating the iconic looks of Stranger Things (seasons 1–5). We talk about the products she’s loving right now, her earliest ideas of beauty growing up in Denmark, her new haircare brand Hindsgaul Hair (out 1/12), and just how emotional it was to say goodbye to Stranger Things—and all of those unforgettable hairstyles. Sarah takes us behind the scenes of some of the show’s most memorable moments, including the decision to shave Millie Bobby Brown’s head in season one, the toughest creative calls across five seasons, and some fun on-set dynamics. Plus, a rapid Hellfire round covering fan theories, favorite characters, and a certain Purple Rain moment.
