On this week’s News Roundup, GlowJob goes deep into the beauty, business, and culture stories taking over your feeds.
We unpack Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez becoming the lead sponsors + co-chairs of the 2026 Met Gala, the Kardashianification of billionaire couples, and what this power move means for Condé Nast and the fashion economy.
Then we switch gears into pure internet chaos: Sol de Janeiro’s new “6/7” fragrance for Gen Alpha, the viral 25-part TikTok saga known as The Danish Deception (a $300K con involving The Bachelor alum Oneyka Ehie), and the psychology of why people fall for liars.
We also hit the real industry shifts — Perelel’s $27M fundraise into women’s supplements, Oddity Tech’s massive sales engine behind Il Makiage & Spoiled Child (and new Telehealth platform METHODIQ), and yet another Australian sunscreen recall.
If you want beauty intel with a little unhinged entertainment… welcome.
