  This week, we’re kicking things off with our latest Gloss Angeles Confidential test‑drive: K18’s new HeatBounce Conditioning Heat Protectant.

Our Glamgelenos gave us the real tea on how it performs (and how to actually use it without overdoing it).In beauty news: Phlur is the latest brand to be acquired and we’re digging into what this could mean for the fragrance world. Plus, Harry Styles’ Pleasing is stepping into the sex toy business. A surprising pivot… or a move that’s been in the works all along?
