e.l.f. Buys Rhode for $1 Billion: The Biggest Beauty Deal of the Year

e.l.f. just acquired Hailey Bieber’s Rhode for a cool $1 billion—and GlowJob is unpacking every juicy detail. From the blink-and-you-missed-it speed of the deal to the PR machine fueling Hailey’s influencer empire, we dive into what made this minimalist skincare brand worth 10 figures.
Julia and Sasa break down the key power players, brand controversies (yes, that glazing fluid), and the bigger question: is Rhode actually good, or just really good at branding? Oh, and yes—we’re talking about Selena.

Growing Up AAPI: Caught Between Two Beauty Standards

What happens when Eastern beauty says “porcelain” and Western beauty says “sun-kissed”? Welcome to the identity crisis of growing up Asian American.
In this episode of GlowJob, we’re breaking down the conflicting beauty standards AAPI babes have grown up with—and how we’re rewriting the rules.
We get into skin lightening culture vs tanning trends, the media’s obsession with a single beauty type, and the rise of the ABG (Asian Baby Girl) as a subversive icon. From generational pressure to barely-there media rep, we’re unpacking what it means to shape your own beauty standards in a world that hasn’t always reflected you.
It’s funny, it’s personal, it’s painfully real—and it’s exactly the convo we wish we heard growing up.

Lucy Goff: Septicemia, Dyslexia & the $6K Laser

She survived septicemia, launched a luxury supplement line, and reengineered hospital-grade laser tech into the most powerful at-home skincare device on the market. Lucy Goff is not your average beauty founder.
We kick off our brand new GlowJob interview series with Lucy Goff, the unapologetically science-obsessed founder of LYMA, the cult beauty tech brand behind the $2,695 cold laser (and the newly launched $6000 Laser Pro) used by celebrity estheticians and Gwyneth-approved girlies everywhere. From growing up in Yorkshire with undiagnosed dyslexia to founding one of the UK’s fastest-growing companies, Lucy walks us through her journey from beauty journalist to collagen disruptor.
We get into:
Her near-death experience that led to LYMA
Why most skincare devices are glorified red flashlights
Why traditional lasers rely on skin damage—and why LYMA doesn’t
What “cold laser” really means (and how it reaches your muscle and bone)
Celebrity users, esthetician partnerships, and what makes the LYMA Laser a 10-year investment
If you’ve ever side-eyed a $6,000 device and thought “WTF could it possibly do?”—this one’s for you.
