Episode 3 | We're Back! Our 2026 Beauty Favourites & Life Updates

This week, the tables are turned as Jaz's husband and actor Ryan O'Kane takes over hosting duties and puts us in the hot seat.

From the beauty industry and burnout to confidence, success, social media, motherhood and career pivots, we're answering questions we don't normally get asked. We chat about what we'd tell our younger selves, what success actually looks like now, the purchases we never regret, our dream treat-yourself days, and of course, the beauty products we'd take to a desert island.

It's a little less beauty, a little more life, and probably our most personal episode yet.

__________________________

In this episode we cover:

• Ryan O'Kane takes over as host
• How Hannah and Jaz first found their way into the beauty industry
• The people who helped shape our careers
• Growing up with difficult skin and how it changed our approach to beauty
• Burnout, boundaries and learning to slow down
• The pressure of always appearing "fine" online
• What success means to us now versus when we were younger
• The reality of balancing work, business and motherhood
• Confidence, self-doubt and overthinking
• What we'd tell our 16-year-old selves
• Our ultimate treat-yourself days
• The best beauty and wellness gifts to buy someone
• The things we happily spend money on (even if we're judged for it)
• Desert island beauty product picks
• If we couldn't work in beauty, what careers we'd choose instead
• Quick-fire beauty, skincare and lifestyle questions
• Ryan discovers what dry shampoo actually does

Episode 9 | The Reality Behind the Highlight Reel (with Ryan O'Kane)

Winter skin has entered the chat.

This week on glossy* Podcast, we’re breaking down what actually happens to your skin in winter, why everyone suddenly becomes obsessed with hydration, and the ingredients worth paying attention to when your skin starts feeling dry, dull or sensitive.

We chat through humectants, emollients and occlusives (without making it feel like a science class), the skincare trends we’re not fully convinced by, winter treatments worth investing in, and whether any of us are really reapplying SPF in July.

We also test and review the new Mile High skincare range from MCoBeauty after they reached out following our dupe culture episode. This portion of the episode is sponsored by MCoBeauty, but as always, these are our genuine thoughts and experiences after using the products ourselves.

Expect winter wardrobe chat, skincare tangents, hot shower debates, slugging discourse and Ryan photo-taking trauma (lol).

________

In this episode we cover:
Whether people actually change their skincare between seasons
Why winter skin tends to feel drier, duller and more sensitive
Hydration vs moisturising and what your skin actually needs
Humectants, emollients and occlusives explained simply

The truth about ingredient lists and skincare marketing
Winter skin treatments we actually rate

Epsiode 8 | Winter Skin 101: Hydration, SPF And What Your Skin Actually Needs

Have beauty routines become way more expensive than they need to be?

In this episode, we break down how to still feel polished, put-together and expensive — without actually spending more. From stretching your hair appointments and managing greys, to figuring out what’s actually worth it in your skincare routine, we unpack the small changes that make the biggest difference.

We also get into the mindset shift around beauty spending, the pressure to keep up with high-maintenance routines, and how simplifying things can often give better results.

Plus, a simple life admin reset — including a quick Gmail clean-up hack to clear out subscriptions and emails you never read.

Beauty on a budget — what actually makes a difference vs what doesn’t
Skincare: where to spend vs where to save
Simplifying your routine — why less can often give better results
