Hi, Byrdie! This is Jonathan Van Ness from
Netflix's Queer Eye, and these are my Just
Five Things you got to have, girl!
So everyone needs a gorgeous brush in their
life. I love Olivia Garden because they all
have this like removable moment, so in the
event of a zombie apocalypse, you can just
readily take care of anything that is… or
you can just part your hair, which is so great.
These are really nice. It cuts out on time;
you can part your hair faster. I also like
these like if you just like gently want to
give her like a wet brush moment. But yeah,
Olivia Garden is great. They're all like…
love this company. Gorge!
Next thing: Every girl's gotta have a floss
that is in her bag. I really like this Desert
Essence one. She's kind of tea tree–ish,
so it like feels more like cleansing, and
it's like a nice thick, like cloth, so I feel
like it really gets like the nooks and crannies
of my gums. As my grandpa would say, “Gets
the debris out of your teeth.” Old people
and those cute little things they say, right?
Like, “debris.” Who says that?
Everyone needs a gorgeous dry shampoo in their
life. I love Ouai. It's a great aerosol-based
one. A little goes a long way. It doesn't
leave too much of a white residue on the scalp,
and it's one that I use at home. It's also
one that I use on clients. I love it on clean
hair. It gives you that gorgeous, you know,
you just spent the day with like this person
who you’re so deeply in love with it and
so you have that like freshly tousled hair
moment. She's clean, but she's a little bit
dirty, so I love Ouai for that. You can also
apply to the mid-lengths and ends; it creates
a little bit of separation so you can really
layer her, and it doesn't like make your blow-dry
get all dirty and nasty. Dry shampoos are
so fun—she's like the new frontier, so grab
one and have fun!
Everyone needs to have a mask that’s going
to give them a little bit of brightening,
a little bit of moisture, but isn't gonna
like flare up your skin or make it seem like
it just went through something. So I love
this Dr. Brandt Oxygen Facial. She's everything!
Kind of just gives a little bubbly moment
as it’s oxidizing, and you can just feel
it invigorating your skin, and when you remove
it, you have a little bit more brightness,
a little bit more moisture, and I feel like
she just, she acts like a humectant so your
skin holds on to a little bit more moisture
after you use it, and it really lasts for
like a day or two. Like the nice shiny, alive,
youthful glow that it gives your skin, it
lasts for like a day so that’s gorgeous.
And on a day like today, when it's 117º for
some reason in April, everyone needs to have
a gorgeous hydrating facial mist. I love this
one from Herbivore. She's rose base, just
looks gorgeous, nice scent, coconut base,
but what you want to look for is mists that
are high in whatever they say it has in it.
So you want to make sure, like, rose water
is, like, the first ingredient and something
that says, like, rose—like you want to make
sure there’s not a ton of alcohol. Like
we don’t need so much alcohol on the face.
So the great Rachael
Ray taught me one thing on her cooking show
years ago. It's that you don't have to necessarily
remember the exact recipe—if you don't like
the ingredients, just get something that works
for you. So if you don't like the Ouai Dry
Shampoo—works for me, honey—just find
one you love. Get yourself a gorgeous hydrating
facial mist for the summer; get yourself a
gorgeous mask; find you some floss that works.
I swear to God that your mouth will not be
mad at you. Well, she might at first if you
haven’t been flossing enough, but she'll
get over it. Yeah, dry shampoo and floss,
honey!
Thanks for much for watching, Byrdie. Until
next time!
For any of you guys out there, beard oil,
beard balm is so important. It's a great way
to incorporate a little bit of fragrance into
your life, keeps those whiskers from looking
too like they don't belong to somebody. I
love this one; it is by Proraso. I couldn't
really pronounce that I just like how it smells,
so I give her a little shake. You just take
a little bit, rub her in. Oh, this is actually
a really good tip; so when you're using face
stuff, instead of like rubbing it up in your
hands and like having your hands absorb it,
apply it like that but as opposed to like…
you use so much more product when you go like
this.
Like, just yes, girl. She’s gorgeous! Love
it!
