Love Wellness Founder Lo Bosworth's Five Favorite Products | Just Five Things | Byrdie

Former reality TV star turned CEO Lo Bosworth stops by to show us her Just 5 Things, including some products from her clean, body-positive personal care line, Love Wellness. First up is Love Wellness' Good to Glow skincare supplement, which helps women of any age get bright, clear, smooth skin. Every night, Lo uses Dr. Dennis Gross' Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel for her daily exfoliation. Next up is La Mer's Lifting and Firming Mask. Lo admits that it's expensive but totally worth it to ensure super hydrated, bouncy skin. To help remove toxins from the body and clear up her skin, Lo takes Love Wellness' Sparkle Fiber Capsules. Last but not least, Lo is a huge fan of Super Goop's Defense Refresh (Re)Setting Mist, which allows you to add SPF after you've put on makeup, which means you can layer it throughout the day. Have you tried any of these products? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

"Hair Dare | Kelly Goes Pink at @sergenormant “At this point in my career, I’m able to have fun with my look and try new things. I volunteered for #HairDare because I’ve always wanted to try pink hair but in a way that was more subtle than punk rock.

Hair Dare: Star Donaldson

"Hair Dare | Star Gets Her 3C Curls Silk Pressed at @spokeandweal “One of the best things about my texture is its versatility! While I love my curls, it's fun to change them up sometimes. I volunteered to do a silk press for #HairDare to check my length and to play around with straight hair for a bit (wearing hats again was also a plus). This is by *far* the best Silk Press I've ever had, shout out to @alexandriahiers at @spokeandweal.

Red Carpet Makeup Artist Vincent Oquendo on His Five Favorite Products | Just Five Things | Byrdie

Vincent Oquendo is known for big eyes and buttery skin in his red carpet looks. Here, he walks us through his top five beauty products he uses to achieve them. First up is Dr. Dennis Gross' Drx Spectralite Faceware Pro mask. It may look ridiculous but this mask helps with inflammation, acne, and also resets and rejuvenates skin. Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Eraser concealer has a circular applicator that ensures no harsh concealer lines (what Vincent's nightmares are made of!) Next up is Shiseido's Daiya Fude Face Brush Duo which he uses to buff liquid foundation or BB cream into the skin seamlessly. Before he begins any makeup application, Vincent puts a drop of Bausch & Lomb's Lumify Redness Reliever into each eye. They are gentle eyedrops that erase any redness and last up to 8 hours and help him get that big eye look he's known for. His favorite liquid liner in the entire universe is Maybelline's Hyper Easy Liquid Eyeliner- it's easy to manage, goes on smooth, and doesn't dry out. If you've tried any of these products, leave us a note in the comments and let us know what you think!

Celebrity Hairdresser Nikki Nelms Shows Us her Five Must-Have Products

Nikki Helms is a celebrity hairstylist who has created red carpet looks for the likes of Janelle Monáe, Zoë Kravitz, and Jurnee Smollett-Bell. Her 5 favorite beauty products start off with Maui Moisture's Weightless Oil Mist which she uses once a hairstyle is finished to add sheen. Next up are household staples: dryer sheets. These are the perfect solution to static-prone hair, just wipe gently over your hair and static-be-gone! To create movement and shape in braids, Nikki uses thin crafting wire. Nothing fancy here, you can find this in your local craft store. To perfect a look, another favorite of Nikki's is the rat tail comb. It's the perfect tool to create a neat and smooth ponytail. In order to get some of her hairstyles to stand up, she swears by Bronner Brothers Pump It Up Gold Styling Spritz. In Nikki's words, "If you know, you know." Bronner Brothers- pump it up gold styling spritz "If you know, you know"
