PILLOW TALKS & ESPRESSO SHOTS SERVED WEEKLY

Welcome to the Glow Lab

Trials, experiments, and brutally honest beauty recaps. It's like your group chat got a research lab.

What IS
the
Glow Lab?

Welcome to the Glow Lab. This is where products stop being pretty and start being questioned. We test the trending, the overhyped, the underdogs, and the “wait is this actually doing anything” bottles taking up space on your counter.

Glow on SOCIAL
We don't test products. We expose them.

Nothing makes it into the Glow Lab unless it survives real-world conditions. Think stress breakouts, three-hour Zoom calls, PMS skin, and regretful layering experiments. We track textures. We read ingredient lists like crime scenes. We notice when your skin looks worse after using something and we absolutely talk about it.

You won’t find fake praise here. You’ll find receipts. You’ll find results. And if a product actually works, you’ll hear us scream about it from the group chat rooftop.

What we put under the microscope

+ Promises made vs promises kept

+ Texture, tone, and tantrums (ours)

+ Ingredients that earned their spot

What we're obsessed with right now

These are the products currently sitting on our sink, our shelf, or our last nerve. Some are new obsessions. Some are on probation. All of them are being watched.

If it’s on this list, we’re wearing it in real life. At work. On bad skin days. Around our ex. Through sweat, sleep, caffeine crashes, and allergic reactions.

We believe in second chances. But we also believe in telling the truth if something sucks. This is where you find what’s living up to the hype and what’s getting quietly moved to the donate pile.
