How Do Your Favorite Beauty Brands and Influencers Rate on the Cultish Scale? (With Amanda Montell)

She’s bacccckkkkk. Gloss Angeles favorite Amanda Montell has returned to our podcast to once again share her linguistic prowess with us, this time discussing the language of fanaticism and how the beauty industry uses speech to create cult-like devotion in certain communities. Amanda just released her second book Cultish, which examines the power that words have and the way people and brands use them to lure us in, from beauty influencers to MLMs. Tune in to hear the beauty brands you may not consider “cultish” but are, Amanda’s favorite beauty “cult,” and what cult we think we’d get sucked into. Plus, we’re giving away one signed copy of Cultish to a lucky Glamgeleno! To enter, head to our Instagram!
