Don't know what I'm doing but things that I typically wouldn't be able to create with nail art so I'm kind of just lightly rubbing off after a few and it's not coming off so i think that's there to stay i think i have all the hacks this was my favorite I think if you get a lot of really cool metallic colors you can create really awesome designs you definitely have a lot more like room to create circles and squiggles and whatnot and I love this one either really awesome you have i've always wanted to try out our DIY beauty Cal's because Beauty details for nails and stickers and stuff are so expansive it's pretty much all you're going to need is nail polishes to create really nice design and then some like plastic bag right so for this one you are just going to create a very nice design or any kind of design honestly and so what they say is to make sure you make it kind of thick you wear on the nail polish that it's easier to remove all right now for the part that will review all everything i'm just going to peel these off supposedly you just use a little tweezer alright well i got this much off so essentially what you would do is you just like stick it on like that for the remaining portion you just kinda wanna take it off with the nail or a nail file and then you can just add some clear gloss to that I. Think it turned out pretty cool obviously the color and the design isn't that great but the concept definitely works in your comment below letting me know what happy thought work the best I.

Women Swap Mystery Beauty Boxes

- [Narrator] The world is a
vast, weird, wonderful place. It can be hard to imagine what it's like to live in a different city
all the way across the globe. So we're going to pair two strangers from two different
countries and have them send a care package to each other full of their favorite beauty,
style, and self care items. This week, we've paired Mayumi from Japan and Chrissy from Los Angeles.

(Upbeat music) - Oh my god, okay. Hi, I'm Chrissy. I'm from BuzzFeed, that's
where you are right now, and that's maybe how you know
me if you even know me at all. Anyway, Sarah came up
to me and she was like, "dude, I'm doing this thing where you can swap a care package
filled with awesome shit with someone that you don't know." There's nothing I love more than shopping.

And shopping for my favorite
*bleep* things is like (triumphant music) The way that I would
describe my aesthetic is unapologetically custom. I will keep searching until
I find the thing that I love. Even this name plate says "nobody" on it. I think that's so *bleep* funny.

What else we got here? Ooh, we got a little furry man. Is this Pizza? Are you a beautiful man? (Upbeat music) - [Narrator] Each box can be decorated any way the sender likes. But they should contain one cosmetic item, one skin care or hair item, one snack, one fashion
item, and one wild card. That can be anything.

- So, I'm about to go shopping. We're gonna go to the mall We're gonna get some
makeup, some skin shit. I don't know what yet. (Upbeat music) - I already did a little bit of shopping, but, I was missing the most L.A.

Part of the whole package. I'm super stoked. Hope she likes them! - This is getting beautiful! (Upbeat music) Yay! Oh my god, even the box is
cute, nothing's happened yet. - Almost there.

I'm actually most
excited about the snacks. - There's little unicorn hair! And packing peanuts,
because you need those. Oh my god, they're *bleep* hearts! - For the makeup item, I had to pick the most iconic liquid matte lipstick. I wear this probably
like, four times a week.

- Heart rainbow highlighter! It says it's made by unicorns. I'm sensing a *bleep* oh my god! - Are you *bleep* kidding me? - We all know that second
day hair from washing is the best hair day you'll ever have. Put a lot of it in the roots you can really get some texture. - Looks to me like this
is some really *bleep* cool sunscreen slash moisturizer because it says SPF 50.

- Ooh, it does smell good! Smells like a baby. - I went to the bougiest
candy store in all of L.A. It's called Sugarfina. I got my favorites gummies.

Love ice cream, but also
mama loves to drink. - I *bleep* love these. I'm having one right now. - Wow that was such a treat, literally.

- I wear sunglasses, every damn day. My favorite sunglasses
brand is based in L.A. They're called Crap Eyewear. I can't imagine someone not looking like a dope ass bitch in these.

- I don't deserve whatever
this is, I can already tell. It's a bag! With a flamingo on it! Oh my god. - Summer is coming and this
is an adorable little bag. I also love a tiny ass bag.

- Since I don't know anything about her other than that her name is Mayumi, I decided to put her
name on a handkerchief. - Oh, it's a face mask! Kabuki face pack. This is like an art piece. - This is literally based
off actual performances of characters in Kabuki theater.

It's unreal the amount of
work that she put into this, and it is not going unnoticed. - I'm going to start off my skincare routine today with this. Smells delicious. So far this is very good.

- I must try this Unicorn Heart Highlighter. It's so cute. Oh shit! - Jazz, what do you think
about my highlighter? - Ooh I think it's pretty! I think it's subtle. Is that how you say it, sub-tle? - Subtle.

- I wore the moisturizer all day and it really kept me not too greasy. I mean, it's like this perfect
light mix with a huge SPF. - Okay and it... Oh, are you gonna check it out, Pizza? So it smells really fresh,
really strong actually.

That does feel really good. I feel a little weird about wearing Japanese culture on my
face when I'm not Japanese. That being said, it's a great face mask. - It's weird to think
that across the world, there is someone that I don't know that is wearing the same
face moisturizer as me possibly at this very second.

I just hope you liked my stuff. I really do. (Upbeat music).

Why Beauty Superstar Michelle Phan Left YouTube

Michelle Phan was one of the first, and by
far one of the most successful, YouTube beauty gurus on the planet. At her peak, she boasted 8.9 Million subscribers
, earning over 1.1 Billion views, with her famous 2009 Barbie tutorial garnering more
than 67 million views alone. Her YouTube popularity led to a collaboration
with Lancme, a ton of press, and a $100 million makeup brand with Ipsy. And then she packed a bag, left the country,
and left it all behind in an instant.

Why? Here's a look at the real reasons Michelle
Phan left YouTube. She hated being recognized Thanks to YouTube, Phan became one of the
most recognizable beauty gurus on the planet. But that was an unhappy accident for Phan,
who wrote in Teen Vogue that she never intended for her own face to become famous. Instead, makeup was supposed to be a means
to explore different sides of herself and transform into something or someone new.

She told Racked that she was never comfortable
with being famous. "Getting recognized in real life is always
weird, because you never know when it's gonna happen. I can't even tell you how many times I had
to take pictures with people in the bathroom. It's the most awkward thing." She felt like she sold out In a video explaining her departure, Phan
explained that her online persona was much different than her real life identity, and
that she felt trapped by her own vanity.

Her social media was a carefully curated look
at Michelle Phan the brand, not Michelle Phan the individual. That took a toll on her psyche. "Who I was on camera and who I was in real
life began to feel like strangers " "I felt like somewhere along this journey,
I lost myself" Phan said that during one of many sleepless
nights, she watched one of her earlier YouTube clips and was shocked at how much she'd changed. "I've grown to learn how money can buy many
things, like peace of mind, comfort, status.

Anything but happiness." Mental health struggles According to Phan, the biggest reason she
walked away from it all was the toll fame had taken on her mental health. The stress from multiple lawsuits, the pressures
of running her channel, the struggles of her cosmetics line Em, and the glare of the public
spotlight got to be a bit too much for her. She wrote an essay for Teen Vogue stating
that she suffered from severe anxiety and felt like she was going "borderline crazy." She told Racked, "I peaced out because I think I was going
through depression. I don't know because I didn't go to a hospital
or anything or get diagnosed, but I was taking a few quizzes online and I felt really sad
every day.

I was waking up feeling so broken. I didn't know why." Where in the world is Michelle Phan? When Phan disappeared, she didn't just go
dark on YouTube - she also temporarily shuttered her other social media channels, and even
vanished from her own company with no notice. She told Refinery29, "I decided to pack my life into a small suitcase,
and I literally just left. I bought a one-way ticket to Switzerland.

I even had contracts where my team still needed
me. But I had to go." After Switzerland, Phan also visited Egypt,
China, and the Netherlands in an effort to clear her head. As someone who once told Teen Vogue that she
felt "digitally bullied" by online trolls, Phan said the trip was "life-changing" thanks
in part to her decision to avoid social media. "We live in this world where we're so connected,
we don't even give ourselves time to connect with ourselves.

I just had my thoughts, nature, and the stars,
no WiFi or anythig, and that transformed me. It kind of rooted me again, anchored me back
to reality. And in a weird way, time moved by slower. It was beautiful." More than skin deep In April 2017, Phan surprised fans by revealing
to Allure that she barely wears makeup at all anymore other than eyeliner and lipstick
- which are now the only items she sells through her relaunched Em brand of cosmetics.

She explained that she started using makeup
in her teens because she didn't feel attractive without it. By her twenties, she was using it to experiment
creatively. Now, she doesn't need it for either of those
reasons. "I'm different.

I'm changing. I'm more simplified. I know the type of eyeliner I need to wear
to look the way I want to look. So things have become more refined, and I
think that's how my perspective on beauty in general has changed, it's become more refined.".

What Beauty Is Like Behind Prison BarsShadyRefinery29

Across the country, hundreds of thousands of women are facing a new reality. If a girl is performing sexual favors, he would bring her in colored pencils, lip gloss. Where they are forced to navigate worlds of sexual bartering, manipulation, and abuse while finding ways to survive. Theyll definitely use your needs against you.

Sexually, physically, emotionally. They will break you down any way they can. Over the last few decades, women have been making gains in representation in almost every field and industry. Yet theres one part of society where the number of women has exploded and theyre still fighting for basic rights: Prison.

Since the 1980s, the number of incarcerated women has skyrocketed by 700%. Women have become the fastest growing population entering the criminal justice system. Its a $173 billion dollar industry, making it bigger than Target, Uber, and Netflix. Just outside of Portland, Oregon, Coffee Creek Correctional Facility has found a unique way to ease its overpopulation problem: providing beauty behind bars through its cosmetology program.

Thank you. I have to admit, I was skeptical. I knew that beauty had the power to transform, but could it really change how women do time? We went to see who these women were, and what they had to say. The cosmetology program here started in 2002, when Coffee Creek saw a need for female focus programming, and decided to do something about it.

What do you want to do today? Just a trim. The program has become so popular that it recently doubled in size. Fellow inmates make up most of the clients who come in for services provided by the students. Hows that? Yeah.

Everything from hair and makeup, to gels, and even eyelash extensions. I think it looks really good, you did a very
good job The program itself is highly competitive to get into. To even be considered, inmates must have a track record of good behavior and a desire to change. If theres anything Im good at, it will be makeup.

Its certainly true for 34-year-old Candice Altman, a repeat offender at Coffee Creek on drug charges. Some of us made more than one bad decision, but a majority of us are just here feeling bad about the things that we did. We want to get out and be good moms, and have careers, and to be reintegrated. We want that.

The majority of women coming into prison are like Candice, in for a non-violent offense and the primary caretaker of a child under 18. It doesnt look like much now, but its gonna be nice when its done. Theyre also predominantly women of color. This is my third time in prison and so, at every other time its just been hopeless, like wasted time.

For the first time I feel like I just have this goal. This just something, some kind of purpose. Why is beauty especially important for women who are in prison? You kind of lose your femininity. We all wear mens jeans and these terribly fitting blue t-shirts.

They take away all your individuality. They take away everything like that. So I think you taking care of yourself and doing your makeup and fixing your hair, it just helps your whole attitude about being here. Its all affected by that, I think.

Someone might say that women in prison dont necessarily deserve access to beauty products. What would you say to that? Maybe its not a matter of deserving these things. Its a matter of rehabilitating people and giving them hope, and keeping them from continuing the same cycles of coming back. We have a lot of women that are here that we find have co-occurring disorders, so both mental health issues, and alcohol and drug treatment needs, and they find themselves on this path that they don't really have a lot of control in.

Christine views the success of the cosmetology program as proof that an approach tailored towards women works. These women, a number of them, repeat bad relationships, and the notion of their own sense of worth and value is not something they have a great grasp on. Certainly, the programs help the practice. They help the sense of, "I can do this.

I know how to do this." And supporting them in that manner is crucial. Many of the women here at Coffee Creek and across the country come into prison with a history of mental health issues, domestic violence, and sexual abuse that makes their rehabilitation that much more complicated. Programs like this not only provide women with an access point to beauty and self care, but help to bridge the gap of mental health, drug, and social services that are underfunded. Despite the fact that for every taxpayer dollar spent on services, up to five more are saved in recidivism.

Coffee Creek gave me a glimpse into what a prison at the forefront of responding to the influx of incarcerated women looks like. But I wanted to know, how are other prisons across the country responding? I went to visit another program in another prison with a very different environment. Lowell Correctional Facility is one of the largest womens prisons in the country. The officers are underpaid and stretched thin, often at the expense of the inmates.

But theres a bright spot: the cosmetology program. As soon as I walked in I met Kerry, who after serving almost three years for multiple charges, was coming in for a haircut before being released the next day. Why was it important for you to come in today before you get out tomorrow? I mean, it just means everything to have your hair done, and walk out and feel good about yourself as you're re-entering society. When those little things are taken away you don't realize how important they are until you don't have them.

It makes sense, for many women, including myself. Beauty has been ingrained in us by society as an integral part of how we understand who we are. And in prison, where so much is stripped away from you, makeup becomes a lifeline to hold onto. It was clear that this program was doing a lot for these women.

But even in this little sanctuary, they couldnt entirely escape what was allegedly going on beyond these walls. It's what you have to live with, since you are in prison. The problem is the whole structure of the prison is set up in a way that sort of invites abuse. When guards have so much power, and inmates are so powerless, it's just a corrupting situation really.

27-Year-old Amanda Hunter was sentenced
to a year and a day for resisting and battery of a law enforcement officer. She was released in December of 2016. I told the officers, I made a promise I'm coming for heads. I'm telling everything.

The abuse, you know, sexually, physically, emotionally. They will break you down anyway they can. What would happen if you saw and reported an officer? Anything. I mean, they'll take you to lock for it.

They'll threaten your life. Ive heard the stories, you know, of people who overdose on blood pressure medicine. You know, but these people were fearing for their lives and were writing home telling their families, "I'm afraid they're gonna kill me," and then you end up dead. Amanda was referring to the case of Latandra Ellington, an inmate who in 2014 was found dead in her confinement cell at just 36 years old.

The autopsy ruled it a natural death even though toxicology reports found levels of blood pressure medication 7 to 8 times the normal amount. Just 10 days before, Latandra allegedly witnessed an officer having sex with an inmate. Latandra said that when she threatened to report it, the officer threatened her life. The mysterious conditions surrounding Latandras death set off a series of investigations that came out in the Miami Herald.

The reports revealed a culture of abuse by officers, including sexual bartering with inmates for things like cigarettes, sanitary pads, or even makeup. 40-Year-old Natalie Hall witnessed firsthand how the conditions at Lowell opened the door for exploitation. Im not gonna project like I was some perfect model inmate, cause I wasnt. Natalie was sentenced to five and a half years for armed robbery.

She told us that shes been clean since her release since March of 2017, blaming her heroin habit putting her in the wrong place with the wrong people. So these are colored pencils. They're contraband, which means you can't have them. But we still get them.

And you dip it in water and it just comes right off. We would do our eyes with them. Where did you get them? Usually if a girl's performing sexual favors for an officer he would bring her in colored pencils, lip gloss, things like that that she could use for makeup or to sell. She revealed to us that this kind of sexual bartering for makeup was just the tip of the iceberg.

You would have to sit at the window and basically flirt with a male officer for a good 20, 30 minutes just to get just enough toilet paper to use the restroom. They'll definitely use your needs against you. The things that they keep from us, toilet paper, pads. You didnt get tampons, unless you bought them.

See, as inmates, we find a way. When those necessities aren't met, and taken care of, it becomes your primary goal to always see that these things are taken care of. This is your prison tampon. Even if you'll get in trouble for it, you have to get it, and you will find a way to get it.

On Lowells main unit, theres not even walls in between shower heads. So heres the officers station, heres a wall thats maybe four feet, and heres six shower heads where six women shower next to each other. And believe me, the officers watch the whole thing. Did they ever make comments? Oh yeah, I even have text messages.

I miss turning around and seeing those things, you in the shower, ha ha ha. You know you got extra toilet paper that day. Officers have reached out to you since youve been out? Yes. At least four.

Would you be willing to show us those text messages? Sure. I dont care. He was like, "That's good. I still talked about you after you left.

Always turning around and seeing you and those things in the shower because of you being taller than the door and wall. Boy, I miss that. LOL. And Jacksonville isn't too far from me, maybe 40 minutes at the most.

Could we meet up?" What did he mean by those things? My breasts. I really thought he was just like checking in on me. And I think this is when it hit me that all they wanted was sex. It's a situation of power.

How many tampons you get, if any. How many pads you get. Whether you get to your shower or not. Those decisions are all made by guards.

So, you can see how if you get somebody in there who's mean or vindictive, or wants something from you, it's easy for them to make that happen. If a guard wants sex from you, what do you do? You could say no, but they have control over every aspect of your life. While the allegations we heard about Lowell illustrates an extreme version of what can happen when a prison systematically fails
the inmates its responsible for, this type of exploitation and abuse is pervasive across the country. Even Coffee Creek has had issues.

That fact is, until the criminal justice system overhauls the way it treats women behind bars, no prison is immune to these problems. Billions of dollars are being spent in the
name of mass incarceration. But what happens once the inmates are in the system? Without safe conditions to serve their time and the programs to address the underlying issues, women find themselves trapped by bad circumstances and bad choices. Sometimes we just have to get them out of the scenario that theyre in, or the situation that they're in.

They find that they're stronger and smarter than they ever knew they were. Do the women who participate in an educational or vocational program tend to have a lower chance of returning to prison? Participation in programming, in general,
greatly impacts recidivism rates. It is something that the women have just really thrived in. I didnt know how to take care of myself so I always went back in to use drugs and committing crime to support myself.

Has your experience this time been different from the other because of this program? Everyday I build more and more confidence. This program is really is helping me to be able to build that foundation. Not have to depend on nobody to provide what Im supposed to provide for my kids. Its clear that programs like this provide the means to restore womens dignity and self-respect amid the harshest conditions.

Beauty is just one small piece of a complex puzzle, but its one that can change lives. Prison is supposed to be punishment, it's also supposed to be rehabilitation. I needed rehab, not a prison where men degraded me and put me down and abused people. Nobody deserves what I went through.

Nobody. Somebody says that I'm not getting necessities that I need to live life normally, that's not a punishment, that's abuse. If you did that to a child, you're gonna lose your child, you're gonna go to jail. So why is it okay to do that to an adult? Theres no quick fix for a system overwhelmed with problems, but one thing is clear: No one can rehabilitate when theyre fighting for basic needs of survival.

And until then, the criminal justice system will continue to funnel predominantly non-violent offenders into a world that leaves these women worse off than when they went in. Thanks for watching Refinery29. For more videos like this click here, and to subscribe, click here..

We Tried The Huda Beauty Speed Makeup Challenge

- I hope she laughs, at least. Then our job is done here. - Huda Kattan of Huda Beauty is one of the biggest beauty
vloggers in the world. - So, we're gonna try and
recreate the look that she's doing in the tutorial that lasts 35 seconds.

- But the things is, when
she posts it on Instagram, videos are only like
30 seconds to a minute. So, we're only gonna have
30 seconds to a minute to complete this full face look. - I think I'm gonna do
absolutely horrible. - Miss Huda Kattan herself is going to be receiving our videos and judging them to pick a winner.

- I just hope I have enough
time to even try it out. What if I only get through the foundation? - I'm gonna try really
hard because I'm a trier before I'm a quitter. - I'll watch the video now. - Oh, god.

Oh, she's going so fast. Oh, god, that's three. Oh my gosh, and then... She did four and then she did mascara? - I think I spoke too big of a game because now I'm like
wait, I'm overwhelmed.

(Crickets chirping) - No one goes this fast. This is nobody's pace. - God, she... Okay, this is...

How, wait, I'm stressed out. - She has some next
level technique on here. It's gonna take me 30 seconds to even digest what she's doing. - I am a firm believer in
a lip completing the look.

My goal is just to get this onto my lips. - I'm trying to unpack as
many things as possible. - I 100% am not gonna win, we know this. It's like peewee soccer.

I'm gonna play the game anyway,
and maybe I'll get a prize. - We got foundation all over the face and then concealer here,
here, here, and here, okay, at the cardinal directions
on the face, got it. - Momma is stressed. - Alright, I'm ready to go, let's do this.

(Clock ticking)
(intense music) - I wish I had washed my hands first. I'm gonna break out. - Oh my God, this primer is very thick. - What? What? - Wait, what do I do next? - Oh, (bleep).

(Laughs) I'm so sorry this looks so bad. I'm trying so hard. (Laughing) - Gotta get a lip, gotta get a lip. Oh my God, this is...

- What? - Are you kidding me? - No, no, no. (Laughing) (buzzer noise) (yelling)
(buzzer noise) (laughing) - Aw, I got it all on my arm. - It's even on my teeth
too, I managed that. Can a tooth give me an extra point? - Yeah, that was not fun.

Actually, it was really
fun, but do I look fun? Yes, I look incredibly fun. - I made it to the foundation. I could've seen a world where I just did eyeshadow the whole time. I could see a world in
which I would've done that, and I didn't do that.

I made it one step
further, so that was cool. - Well, we all know doing a
makeup tutorial in real time is not possible, but I didn't
realize how impossible it was. Look, I think she looks so beautiful, and I look like a McDonald's. - I truly did think I had an advantage.

It was one of those things
where I was like okay, I think I'm secretly actually
gonna do pretty well at this. Cut to (record scratching). - I'm fine, it's fine. Huda, I tried my best.

- I love you so much. Please give me a good rating. - If this is the SAT, I did
put my name on the test. So, I do get 400 points automatically, and my name is on this.

- Hey, everyone. I'm Huda from Huda Beauty. Today, I'm taking part of the Buzzfeed LadyLike Makeup Challenge. Where basically, I'm in Dubai, we have some beautiful
ladies in California who are actually watching a
makeup tutorial that I did.

- You can do it, Freddie,
I believe in you. Oh, oh. Oh. Come on, you gotta hurry up.

Oh my God, you can't spend
that much time on eyes. She's cute, I don't know
about the makeup though. Jen, I believe in you. Ouch, why is she hitting herself so hard? You're not supposed to
slap yourself in the face.

Too much time on eyes! Oh, that was so bad, but I still love you. That could be a trend. The whole brow things could be a trend. Come on, Kristen.

We love triers (laughs). Let's do this. I feel like she's gonna win. Oh, yeah, she's not spending
too much time on the details.

Oh, she went too heavy handed. She did too much. We know that type, you gotta do less. Less is more, you don't have time.

You guys are all beautiful. (Laughing) Come on, Chantel. If she does that, she's gonna win. Less is more.

She's got the right idea. Come on, Chantel, come on. Come on, oh, I think you might win. - Oh my God, this primer is...
- Wait, wait.

Wait, why are you doing the color, though? Why are you doing the eyes? Oh, no, this was supposed to
start off good, it's like... Oh, no! Oh, honey, no! The lips, don't forget the lips. This was hilarious to watch. First of all, I don't think
it's actually realistic to ask anyone to do their
makeup in 60 seconds.

Freddie was adorable. What I liked about her
is she didn't go crazy with all the colors on the eyeshadows, and I think that really helped her because then blending wasn't an issue. She basically took the
foundation and was like hitting herself in the face, which was an interesting technique. I kinda feel like it might work sometimes.

I don't know, try it out. Jen was super creative. I loved the whole metallic brow. I thought it was beautiful
the way she did it and the way it kinda came in, but I think she did a good job.

I know it was a lot of
pressure with the timing. Kristen was such a cutie as well. I loved her energy. She was really funny, watching
her as well, she's hilarious.

She just had a really good
personality, good approach to it, which I think mad it really fun. Chantel was really great. I think she started out, in the beginning, I thought she was gonna
win because she said she was just gonna focus on the lip, but then she went for the crazy pigments in the eyeshadows and it was
a little hard to blend, so... This was hilarious to watch.

I kinda wanna try this
challenge myself on myself because 60 seconds is really
insane to ask anbody that. Overall, I definitely
think that Freddie won because she just went a
little more light-handed, and I think if you don't have
a lot of time, less is more. So, go with the lip, you can do that whole slapping technique. I think that will work too,
and then you're good to go.

Thank you, Buzzfeed, so much for letting me be a part of this. This was so great to watch, and
I'll see you guys next time. Bye, guys. (Upbeat music).

We Tried The Beauty Blender ChallengeBeauty Roulette

- When ya gotta blend, ya gotta blend. - Your makeup, that is. - But what if the only thing you have to blend with is an egg? - It's Ladylike and today
we're playing Beauty Roulette: Weird Beauty Blender Edition! Ah! - The rules are for
this one is that, well, we're putting our makeup
on with these things and, um, what are we doing? - Okay, so here are the rules
for this Beauty Roulette. We're gonna spin the wheel
and when you get an object you have five minutes
- Five minutes.

- To apply your foundation with the object instead of a beauty blender. - Instead of a beauty blender.
- Yeah, yeah. - Mmhmm, that's what I said. - You know, I don't really
like the smell of egg.

I don't want that on
my face, honestly, TBH. - I really want silicone bra insert, just 'cause I feel like
that's easy and sexy? - [Kristin] We haven't washed it so we've been touching it all morning. - Which one do I want the least? - [Kristin] Tennis ball! - Ooh, yeah, I think tennis ball's going to be skin-irritating. Is this a brand new tennis ball, or like a used tennis ball? - [Kristin] It might have
been chewed on a bit.

- [Devin] It was found in the
back of a truck. (Truck honks) - [Freddie] Damn it. (Laughs) - I don't want balled-up shirt, I don't want tennis ball, I
know where these have been - [Freddie] The back of the truck? - The back of the truck. (Truck honks) - [Jen] We found it in
the back of the truck.

- [Freddie] Which truck? - [Devin] No one knows. (Laughs) - The truck where we get all our props. - [All] Spin that wheel! - Whoo! - [All] Aww. (Laughing) - This is dumb! - [Kristin] Yeah yeah yeah, aww! - Oh potato! - [All] Oh! - All right, excellent,
okay, I mean, I'm not mad.

- No, no, no spoon, No spoon, spoon! - [Kristin] This is your
fault, spoon, spoon! (Dramatic music) - No, no! (Laughing)
(shouting) Balled up shirt, what? - I am going to break out. (Laughs) It's okay. Hard-boiled the egg. - Do I do it with the
skin on, or the skin off? - Skin on!
- Skin on, baby, skin on.

- Fine, you guys, fine. - All right, silicone bra insert, woo! - Ah, I hate this game! - This is my face sans foundation, I do still have eye makeup on. Gross, that's for a lucky fan. - Hey, Kristin, oh my
God, Kristin, you won! You won my gross used makeup wipe! - Yay! - Welcome to potato time with Devin.

A show that could actually
exist, if you're interested. It would just be me and a
potato, talking about my life. Probably complaining. - So I got balled-up
shirt, which was Jen's idea I feel really badly for this poor shirt.

How excited are you to
be applying your makeup with, uh, basically a boob? - It feels very fatty. It feels very, comfy. Like a little pillow. Isn't that what boobs are? Just little pillows? Pillows in the night? - We have decided after much discussion that I'm going to be
using this potato dry, I'm not going to be dipping it in, 'cause it's probably not
porous with the skin on and all of us are too lazy
to skin a potato right now.

- You guys got me used,
these are not fresh. You guys couldn't even
hard-boil any eggs for me? You had to buy me these gross-ass, like fucking formaldahyde eggs? - [Devin] Just use the other egg! - This one is just as bad! - Who wore this, whose is this? - [Kristin] We found it
in props, it was in props. - Did you find this in
the back of the truck? (Truck honks)
(both laugh) - I'm glad that we're
using a clean T-shirt. I guess we could take this tag off since we are not returning this! - [Kristin] So I know I
told you that you would have five minutes to apply your foundation - Yeah.

- [Kristin] But actually
you have 90 seconds. - Why do you hate me? - Excuse me? - A full face of foundation? - [Kristin] Yeah! - In 90 seconds? - [Kristin] Yeah! - How you just change the
rules halfway through? - We're done. - All right, well, 90 seconds 'cause Kristin wants to get this video done. (Kristin and Devin laugh) - I get 90 seconds to be a star! - [Kristin] Your time starts now! - Oh God, ooh.

- Aah... - Fuck, okay, shit. - I forgot what I do. - [Kristin] You're wasting time! - Ooh potato is hard! - The thing is because these are processed they don't smell like egg, they don't smell like fucking anything which is actually kind of disturbing, I feel like they should have a smell.

- Oh this is awful. (Laughs) The thing is that I deeply
suspect this is not working, but I have no way of knowing
because my glasses are not on. - [Kristin] It's making
a slight slapping noise. How is it blending? - Terribly! - [Kristin] How do you feel right now? - Gross, I don't feel good.

- I am the only one that got water, 'cause everyone else's
surfaces were not porous. Science. - Honestly, I think it feels better than an actual beauty blender. - [Kristin] How's it feel? - How do you think it feels, Kristin? It feels like I'm knocking
on a door with my face! - I got yolk.

I'm gonna get the other egg. The other egg is wet though. - Kinda feels like a wet T-shirt contest is punching me in the face. You got about 30 seconds left.

- Okay. Whoo, I feel the blood
vessels in my neck popping. - Honestly, I think it feels better than an actual beauty blender. - The problem is the T-shirt
is eating up all the product.

Have you thought about trying
the inside of the potato? - I did but it's just wet and slimy. And also it's hard to
get into the corners. - I'm still, I keep getting yolk! - I hate you, shirt! This is not working at all. - I'm not about to give up on this potato.

- I think it's blending
really well actually. - [Kristin] Okay so you're
actually, this is easy. (Phone chimes) - Shit! Fuck, I, doesn't matter,
I've gotta keep going. Fucking slippery as hell.

- [Kristin] You have five seconds. - I'm doing this for all
the girls who love carbs. - You know what, just, - [Kristin] And, potato down! - That's fine. - Oh, this old face? Does it look like it's full of fiber? 'Cause it is.

- [Kristin ] No, it's starch, just starch. - Oh, well fuck! - This looks like a jar of
peanut butter got murdered. There is easily four
times as much foundation on this shirt as there
has ever been on my face. - I mean that doesn't look half bad.

- [Kristin] I think that
actually looks really good. - [Jen] That looks
pretty decent, actually. That's like surprisingly decent. I went through two eggs
because neither one of them were strong enough to withstand my face.

- [Kristin] Wow, you look great! - Thanks! - [Kristin] I'm mad, you
actually got the easiest one. - [Freddie] I did get the easiest one. My widow's peak area could
use a bit more blending, but aside from that I have no complaints. - Putting foundation around the crevices, the potato did a piss-poor job, but, overall, like if you were to stand seven and a half feet back,
and squint, looks pretty good.

- [Kristin] This looks like shit. Well, look, here's the thing. For science, I helped you all figured out that you should not apply your foundation with a fucking T-shirt. The T-shirt soaks up all the product.

So, you would put it on your face, and then I would wipe it, I would basically be wiping it off. - Not bad, pretty much full coverage, so. That's disgusting. - We've done a video
where we beauty-blended with a boiled egg, which
actually wasn't as bad as I thought, but this was
easier than that, even.

Especially because it
doesn't smell like, feet-ish. - [Kristin] Are you happy
with the potato, or? - Am I happy with the potato? No, I don't recommend using
a potato as a beauty blender! (Thumping) That's what it sounded like
inside of my cheekbones. - This shirt is so
ineffective it truly messed up other parts of my makeup
that were perfectly fine before we started. - I don't mean to toot my
own horn, but uh, beep beep! - This is what, this is
CoverGirl Healthy Elixir? All right, I guess you work for me.

- [Kristin] I like how you're
giving all the credit to the foundation and none
of the credit to the egg. - The egg doesn't
deserve anything from me. The egg tasted horrible. - We finished Beauty
Roulette, and now it's time for our special guest
judge, Miss Kate Peterman! (Cheering) - Oh, thank you, thank you! - I thought it would be Shinzo
Abe, prime minister of Japan.

- He couldn't make it. (Techno music) - [Jen] Okay. - Yeah. - So he sent me in his place.

How am I going to grade this? Believe it or not, I am a makeup expert. Look at how all of my
acne scars shine through, that's highlighter, baby, so. - So first up is Freddie.
- What do you think? - Oh, you already did it. - [Kristin] Yes.

- Oh. (Laughs) I have to guess what you used? - [Freddie] Yeah. - I see a little not blended
in-between your eyebrows. I'd go so far as to either
say it was a hard-boiled egg or a silicone bra insert.

And I think I'm going to
pick, a silicone bra insert. (Chiming) (cheering) - [Devin] You got it! - [Kristin] Wow. - That's an A. 'Cause I also thought it
was a hard-boiled egg.

And that is a certified
beauty blender, right? - [Freddie] Yeah. - [Devin] So says the internet. - [Kate] Devin now! - [Freddie] Devin's turn! - [Jen] Devin the girl. - So it is in fact a les splotchy.

There are just little clumps, which means it's not something that
was good at spreading, which means it was either
absorbent, or, weird. - Yeah, the competition was fierce. - God, I'm going to say tennis ball. - No.

- A potato. - Yes. - (Laughs) I knew it! - Expert! - So with a potato... - Mmhmm, I just want to
remind you, it's, it's firm.

It's like a rock. - Yeah, it's still pretty bad. (Laughing) I'm on the cusp of a C+ or a B-. - Both of those are passing, so I'm happy.

- Yeah, Jen's turn! The edges don't look too
rough, unless you did that so it could be a tennis
ball, if you do it like this, but I'm going to say tomato. - No. - What was it? - It was an egg. - I did not know, dang.

- Yeah, applied evenly, A+. - From Jen, she's going to grade herself! - There you have it. I'd have said B. - So it's an A+! Thank you, Kate.

- No problem, buddy. - Got an A+. - [Kate] All right, Kristin! - My turn! - You said you had the worst one. - Well, the worst is subjective.

- Yeah, so it's either a
T-shirt or a tennis ball. - Not that subjective. - T-shirt? - Yes. - Ding ding ding! - Yeah! - I did in fact have a T-shirt.

It was in fact the worst
thing you could possibly put makeup on with. - Yeah? - Because it absorbed all the makeup. - Yeah. I'm going to be honest with ya.

That is an A- if I've ever seen one. - What? I did not deserve that but I'll take it. - Simply because I think we
have to take into account how hard it was to put the makeup on. - Right, mine was really hard.

- Mine was also very hard. - Yeah!
- Freddie wins. - Freddie won, and as her prize,
she gets to go home at six. - Yay! - That's the right end of the day! - Yeah, I feel like I
win Miss Congeniality because I have the crappiest
one and I still got an A.

Good job me! - Go Kristin! - Yeah, it's always a
sincere round of applause when you have to start it yourself. For yourself. - I feel like Jen and I got
the participation award, 'cause we participated. - Oh, I did, I did that.

- Beauty roulette, wacky
beauty blender edition. - Lady blended. - Lady ended. - Freddie won, bye.

It's Friday. - [All] We've got merch! - Click here to buy it! - Spoons!
- Spoons! - Spoons!
- Spoons. - Spoons!
- Spoons? - Spoons!
- Spoon. - Spoon.

We Tried Extreme Beauty Hacks From Old HollywoodLadylike

- We here at LadyLike know
that beauty can be hard. - Like plucking your eyebrows for example. That's a devil's ritual and I won't do it. - But we got our hands on a list of hacks from classic Hollywood and
well, we're gonna try `em.

- It's LadyLike and today we're trying old Hollywood beauty hacks. - [Host] Gimme them hacks! - My somewhat common beauty hack that I use is just coconut
oil for everything. I rub it all over my
face and fingers at night and then I sleep like a baby and wake up feeling refreshed and shiny. - I would say maybe an extreme beauty hack is like when I'm in the shower washing my hair, the water is pretty cold.

And it's because it helps my
hair from getting dehydrated. - When I went to prom I
actually set my hair in beer. It was my mom's suggestion,
I would rinse my hair with beer and then like,
rinse it out with water and it made my fine hair
be able to hold curl. - The way I put on my eyeliner
gets a lot of comments.

When I put on my eyeliner I just, lay it on really thick and
I go probably out to myaah. Then it covers everything
it needs to cover and then I just take a wipe
and I wipe it all away. That way I don't have to be more precise when applying it because
everything's covered and I just gotta wipe away
the stuff that I don't want. - None of my beauty hacks are dangerous and none of them are
very surprising at all.

- But I hear, a bunch
of these beauty hacks that we're about to look
at are kind of intense. I hear about it because I'm actually directing this video so... So in front of me I have
a list of 20 fun facts about like, our old Hollywood idols. The beauty tips that kept them fabulous.

But apparently all of these tips will make us say what the fuck. Audrey Hepburn got her
signature doe-eyed look by separating her lashes one
by one using a safety pin. No thank you, why would you willingly put a safety pin right up on your eye? Today I was walking to Rite
Aid to buy some deodorant and a bug flew straight into my eye and I was like, this is how I die. - If you have a compact and a steady hand, go ahead, put a needle right by your eye.

I don't have a problem with that. You wanna do that, that's fine. - Marlene Dietrich insisted on having real gold dust sprinkled on her wigs to make them shine more on camera. Real gold dust, that's luxury.

This is like, a Foxy Cleopatra kinda hack. - Putting table salt in your cleanser and slapping your jawline was the secret to great skin in 1940. Really?
Table salt? - (Laughs) These are funny. - I mean salt, if you want to exfoliate but salt is abrasive.

- Last time I checked putting table salt in any kind of like, open wound, really intensified the feeling of ow. How is it supposed to keep
your skin like young and taut? (Slapping) - Rita Hayworth dyed her hair and endured a year of hairline electrolysis
to look less "ethnic". What type of ethnic?
She looks like a white lady. - Howard Hughes believed slowing down when driving over a speed bump would prevent boobs from sagging.

- Also, Howard Hughes, what
do ya know about having boobs? I'm sure you know about liking boobs. I'm sure you could
write a book about that, but what do ya know about having them? - Uh-uh, I'm tight. - According to a beauty column in 1941 placing a piece of tape between your eyes stops you from frowning. This is basically the old-timey version of when a random man tells
you, you should smile more.

Yeah let's do this one it seems fun. - [Camera Woman] It might be too big. - Yeah, like this? - [Camera Woman] I guess so. - Actor Gloria Grahame
stuffed her upper lip with paper or cotton to
make it appear fuller.

It seems like that would work but would it look ridiculous, maybe? Let's do it, I'm down. - Frances Starr did 20
somersaults every night to keep a youthful complexion
and help with indigestion. Youthful skin, no more gas, let's do it. I don't really know
what a somersault is so, lovely Brittany's gonna
show me how to do it.

- How do you do this at all? Why do I look like an angry baby? - Billie Burke famous for her role as Glenda The Good Witch in Wizard of OZ, swung from her door frame
like a pendulum to stay young. Maybe that's science?
I don't know science. But I do know that I hang
upside-down from a pole often. So I'm actually gonna
put this one to the test.

For beauty! - I feel something. - You can totally see
this if I show any teeth, and the longer it's in my mouth the harder it is to close my lips. - The pants I'm wearing are quite fitted. Not much give so I'm
going to unzip the back to make sure that they don't rip.

I have to do 20 of these? I'm tired. (Laughs) 19 Left. - [Camera Woman] It looks
like a baby Post-it. - Yeah, supposedly it pulls
your face muscles upwards and then you don't wanna frown.

- Does it?
- I guess, I mean I've been smiling a lot so I guess it's working. - You do look actually more smiley. - I know, I can't tell if it's 'cause, it's working or if it's 'cause
I just think this is funny. I don't know? Old Hollywood's weird.

- I only did it for a couple of seconds. Typically I can stay upside-down
on a pole for forever but this is a stop sign. - Really?
- [Camera Man] Yeah. - Wow.
For beauty! - If this is wait it takes to have youthful skin and no gas, I'll pass.

I'll have wrinkles and poop, and shart. - We did it. (Slapping).

We Tried 1950's Beauty Tips

- This is what they would do after they cried because the meatloaf wasn't great. (50S pop music) - Today we are trying 1950s beauty tips. - Help. - I don't know anything about the 50s, I know diners, I know milkshakes, I know Grease.

- I know it was an age of conformity. - I think I have some 50s beauty icons I like. - Whenever I see images of the 1950s it's always like, women looking very put together, their hair is coifed, like, it doesn't look like something that was like, an extremely quick process. - I think you were expected to be a housewife who's job was to tend to their husband and have children and like, that's it.

(Rockabilly music) ^- Pond's cold cream, my mama had this. ^She still uses this. ^- That was very 1950s of me. - Wow, this is really working.

- Lipstick came off in just one wipe. 'Cause I hate those things that you have to like, wash your face like, over and over again, like, I'm so lazy I can't do that. - See my problem any time I used this growing up was like, I'd really smear it all, I feel like you'd smear it all over your face. - Tomorrow, I'mma have a pimple.

- I am a little worried about what this is gonna do to my overall skin, like I have combination skin so it's a little dry and a little oily and in all the dry places, I feel like, ahh. (Rockabilly music) ^Time to go under. ^- I'm so excited about this. ^- Me too.

^- [Girl Under Pink Blanket] It's so hot. ^I like it though, it's like a spa. My pores feel scared. - [Girl Under Red Blanket] This is so comforting, I feel like we should have a room like this that we can just go into.

- [Girl Under Pink Blanket] Yes. - Wow. - I feel like a new person. - I do feel like, nice and soft.

- I feel like it opened up my sinuses. - I feel like that combined with the Pond's cold cream it feels like I just did like, a moisturizing face mask. - Was that supposed to like, open our pores? - Yeah so then I guess we're clean after. (Doo-wop music) ^- It's kinda like harm-y, like it's kinda like, abusive.

- I'm already worried 'cause I feel like this to me ^just feels like it's like tantamount to bleach. ^Like, it feels like a very raw soap ^and I feel like my skin is gonna be in shock. ^- When I get facials, the first thing they tell me ^is to not wash your face with the soap you use ^for your body, so this can't be good. - Ow.

My skin on my face gets hot, it will be like (beep). - Exfoliating, I love exfoliating. I love it, it's like, nice and rough. - Going into this, I expected this to feel like sandpaper and I wanted to hate it, but I actually kind of love it.

It seems like, to me, like, a good zero waste exfoliant. (Doo-wop music) ^- So this is like the cucumber of the 1950s? ^We're about to get tea-bagged. - Well it feels nice. - It does feel nice, it smells good too.

Now I want some tea. - This whole routine just makes me feel like I'm being rocked by my mother to sleep. I'm like, I just wanna go to bed now. - It feels really nice, I feel like, this is what they would do after they cried because the meatloaf wasn't great.

- That felt so good, I honestly think it did help with the bags under my eyes. (Doo-wop music) ^- If you could eat this, then I would buy into it ^'cause then it's like, you can do everything with it. ^- Okay so I'm gonna do my arm, what are you gonna shave? ^- I'm gonna shave my little pubescent mustache. - I do appreciate that about them.

They use like one product for everything which is my brand. - I feel the cream getting caught in the razor. - I feel like this is great for probably like, sensitive skin. (50S pop music) ^So this is supposed to prevent you from frowning.

^I guess it works 'cause you have like, something on your forehead so you're like, more conscious of like, what's happening. - I'm really happy that we're getting to a place where women are allowed to have feelings on their faces. - I'm like, getting extra tape 'cause this is like, my five head. - After you like, bath yourself in Pond's cream you just, throw a dash of tape on it.

- It's like Botox, I like it. - I would absolutely not try this. This makes me want to frown. (50S rock music) - It was fun, it was rigorous.

- When you think about all the things that we do to like, feel pretty and feel, I don't know, like, that we're taking care of our skin. Like, I get it, you know, but that is so much work. - It was way too much. I think some of them, I get, like, exfoliating and washing your face or whatever.

Like, I get those and I think I do those still. I think what troubles me the most is the reason why they did it. - Because you're using so few products, it's super cheap. Like, I'm like, it's minimal, good for the environment and good for your wallet.

- I'm sure like, so many of the, you know, skin care steps in beauty routines from the 50s and earlier eras definitely led to like, our routines, you know, 'cause you keep evolving things and you make them better, so thanks ladies, thanks fore mothers. (50S pop music) - If the apocalypse comes and I can't get to a Lush. Like, just bust into Walgreens, steal a crate of Pond's..

Trying Clickbait Beauty Hacks From Instagram

Hello Friends and welcome to another video Today we're gonna be testing out questionable beauty hacks from Instagram videos now We've previously tested out some strange hacks from Facebook videos with mediocre success and since then pretty much all I've been seeing on my instagram explore page are similar Beauty hack videos They seem to think that I'm a hacker that I like hacks or that I am a hack so I've decided to take these Referrals as a sign that I should dive back in and put these videos to the test Instagram has a lot of beauty videos in general which are often speckled or arranged into playlists on the explore page or free booted from individual creators and reposted by big make up accounts and by design you can churn through like Dozens of these videos at a time I mean look at those thumbnails Don't you want to click on those? Is that James Charles? Almost all of these videos are sped up, have little to no talking and oh yeah Instagram also doesn't have a progress bar so you can't skip around or rewind. In addition I find that Instagram videos are more prone to true click-baiting than Facebook videos. You'll get some classic thumbnails like this one with a giant red vampire Eye, but then when you click into the video It's just a normal eye shadow tutorial but some of these videos are just click baity in that they use a Ridiculous seeming method in order to get an enticing thumbnail whether or not that method helps you do anything faster or better Or anything at all and those are the videos we're gonna be mostly focusing on today as much as I would like to try out Permanent retina damage. Alright, so let's dive right into these the first hack is certainly beauty related But it's not for your face.

It is in fact for the pits. That's right your armpits. That's what I mean It's an armpit Beauty hack! Alright, so this video was reposted by makeup vines But it's originally by Sarah revolta the comments are pretty harsh. There are a lot of like nauseous green emojis and um, one girl says tbh I threw up.

So basically what happens is Sarah wakes up, and oh no, she has armpits! She doesn't want you to see them, so she's gonna cover them with honey oats and baking soda I think actually the premise is that she has like dark skin on her Underarms or something because she certainly doesn't have any hair. Interestingly enough, DIY armpit lightening masks are kind of a motif throughout a lot of Instagram hack videos I feel like it's kind of like bleaching your b-hole it's like a little unnecessary But if you really want to I guess you can. So she puts her DIY mixture like on her armpits And then she sits with it for a while to let it do it's good stuff She doesn't say how long you should leave it on for? Oh... All right So maybe she means ten minutes because as she's leaning back She just goes "Ten!", But after some amount of time she scoops the oatmeal off and feeds it to her boyfriend I am so happy and yet also sad for Tyler that that occurred because now he has to eat my armpit oatmeal.

TYLER: what you showered today right? SAFIYA: yes, I shower every day *not convincing smile* and I smell very good always. TYLER: that's a lie. SAFIYA: all right the first thing she does is, honey And it doesn't look like she has like very specific proportions She just kind of has like a big old spoon and just puts in a big old spoon. As for the oats She kind of does like one heaping tablespoon, so I'm gonna do like a couple of these there We go and for the baking soda.

She kind of just does like a little less all right so her next step Is that she mixes it together and right off the bat? It's pretty dry I think I might need a little more honey. How am I so bad at this? I will say she just seems like she just sort of did a couple of swipes And then it was like a nice sort of wet mixture. All right ready for the application. TYLER: Ah that's nasty dude.

SAFIYA: is this what I'm supposed to do? TYLER: this feels like the worst like sexy role-playing thing ever SAFIYA: it's like a Cosmo tip it's like spice it up by bringing food into the bedroom Oh, it's honey and baking soda in your pits. I will say it smells kind of good though. All right I'm like a little bit unsure of how to do this with my other arm pit full of oatmeal already Oh, I need help I can't do this with my left hand TYLER: it really doesn't spread does it? SAFIYA: Oh, No spread it down no, no! Down, not out! I'll hold the camera. OH NO! TYLER: oh s**t.

Oh God, I just dropped a huge chunk. SAFIYA: No, no, not out. Ty, up and down, clearly. TYLER: I think we have different definitions of armpit here.

SAFIYA: Alright, here We go after some struggle both my armpits are oated. My arms are gonna get tired Okay, so it's been about 10 minutes since I put on the right armpits oatmeal and the oatmeal has definitely warmed up. In fact, It's turned kind of like whitish and creamy almost as if it's cooked or perhaps like reacted somehow with the baking soda She basically just like scrapes it off with the spoon, and then immediately tricks her boyfriend into eating it. Alright Ty are you ready, I got a spoonful of oatmeal for you.

TYLER: Why am I doing this? SAFIYA: Oh? That's not food is it? These are really that bad? Ew! You just drooled all over me. TYLER: very salty. SAFIYA: It's salty? That's my sweat TYLER: *disgusted noises* Alright so after wiping off our oatmeal mask completely. I'm not sure that my armpits are any lighter it kind of feels like maybe they were just Exfoliated a little nicely.

I did really have to kind of scrub those oats off and taking a look at her after armpits They look pretty much the same, but in terms of the execution of this hack I just got oats all over this floor and my shirt and I might have poisoned Tyler so I think that you know you could probably just use like a body scrub on your armpits and Save yourself a lot of mess alright so for our second hack We're gonna go in for another lightining treatment except this time instead of being for your underarms It's for your under eyes, so this is a video by Medina shrien zada She basically sort of pops up and she has like very exaggerated dark circles They look pretty fake like maybe she just put like a lot of eyeshadow underneath her Eye, and then she's skins and cuts up a potato puts some honey and black pepper on the slices and puts them under her eye for five minutes And then when she lifts them off of her eyes the dark circles are gone as well as the eye shadow now it does say Further down into her caption that she's mimicked dark circles, but it's pretty far down And I think people in the comments aren't really having it so with that. Let's try it This is coincidentally a great time to try and test this hack because I was up till 6 a.M. Last night, and I have a whole under-eye suitcase situation going on. Okay, so the first step is to peel the potato TYLER: do you know how to peel a potato? SAFIYA: No, I'm not very good at this, can I just slice off the Peel? This is much better.

I got it to be sort of like a geometric gemstone by just peeling it with a knife alright So basically she just sort of cuts off like little sections That would cover her under eye area, and then next she just puts a little bit of honey on 'em. And then she goes like this. So then the next thing she does is she just Sprinkles some black pepper on and then applies it to her eyes. Cheers.

Okay, this isn't so bad. I will say that right off the bat The potatoes kind of cold, so I'm feeling some refreshment So that's probably actually good for your under eye circles. Move over a cucumber slice potato is coming for your wig I'm not feeling any sneeziness, or eye pain because of the pepper as of yet, the pepper is more just like texture It's like I feel like a piece wedged in between the potato and me. Alright so in five minutes Let's take these bad boys off and see if my under-eye circles have packed their bags and left Are you ready for my Princess Diaries reveal? TYLER: Well you don't have a unibrow so...

SAFIYA: I do have a unibrow. I just plucked it tada Oh, I look like I was just crying coffee grounds. Oh actually now that I've lifted the potato up I'm actually feeling the tingling from the black pepper and like almost a little spice. Oh, oh it's hot.

Oh. This is odd I feel like I have like a bengay patch underneath my eyes you and I mean like a Salone puss I think that maybe some of the logic behind this hack is that the pepper will like stimulate blood flow But my undereyes just kind of hurt, and I don't think they look much better. Now She said this was her under eye 'routine' so maybe like one time isn't enough But that is a lot of work and pain for a 'maybe'. So I've put on some foundation because the next hack is a makeup hack so this account dramatized free booted and Reposted this video from promisetamang.

They gave her some credit but you definitely had to click read more to see it so the thing that stuck out to me about this hack is that it's Basically like a surprise double hack from the thumbnail It looks like she's using tweezers to somehow contour her nose And when you click in she's actually Using the tweezers to draw in her eyebrows After he completely does her eyebrows at the very end she does her nose kind of quickly So it was kind of like an emotional rollercoaster, I thought I had been click baited and then right at the end I was saved. All right so I think what she does is she just like takes the eyebrow gel and like paints the ends of her tweezer with it. She Has thinner eyebrows than I do so I worry that my eyebrows may not be Contained by these tweezers. As she gets to the back she Closes the tweezer.

Did that do anything? I feel like I just got a little bit of eyebrow gel in the head of my brow Right here. I do have slightly wider tweezers that maybe would work better, so let's try those that didn't do much I'm gonna try more of a pomade than a gel just to you know give it more of an impact. Oh, that's darker That's better and then narrow it narrow it oh I skid marked all right Let me try the other side And then we'll try and fill them in oh no oh no left hand no good the thing is it's not Decidedly worse than the other one, but neither are really great. TYLER: you look like an Angry Bird right now.

SAFIYA: I feel like an angry bird right now I feel like I'm getting the intent of the hack, but my artistic abilities are not really up to snuff So let's try out the nose contour. Maybe I'll be better at that since there's less like drawing involved all right ready *humming* TYLER: oh that's a good draw right there. I don't think I did that well with this one either. I think that this hack easily goes skidmark It takes the skidmark exit nearly every time.

I don't know what kind of brush She's using so I'm just gonna use this brush and just try and buff it out buff it out. What Wha What What buff it out I will admit that I don't do nose contouring very often this side looks okay, and then you go over to this side And it's just sad now though compared to my nose contour my eyebrows are looking great So I'm happy about that at least I think if you have the right features that fit Inside of like a normal sized tweezer, maybe this might actually work for you But besides that I do think it's a little more trouble than it's worth Okay, so the next hack is another makeup hack, and I actually recognize the company. That's made it It's Cristine's favorite channel troom troom. CRISTINE: *singing* Gotta get those troom troom views! Yes, so this video was reposted by DIY amazing DIY, but I think something got lost in translation Because the video doesn't really make a lot of sense.

Early on in the video They introduced the hack Which is like using a spoon over your eye to like create like an eye shadow? Look and then they sort of like put clip in extensions in their hair apply some eyeliner And then are like told by a third person to only use one hand And then by the end of the video they've given up on doing their makeup entirely none of that is explained or captioned It's just if you keep watching the video after the hack you'll notice that there's a lot more video And it doesn't make any sense. Okay, and with that let's try it. Alright I'm just gonna put like a little bit of a base shade on I don't really know what else this girl does she just kind of puts a spoon on her Eye, and then goes to town though to be fair She kind of does like this sort of crease action and then moves on to do something off-camera And when she comes back her eye shadow looks a lot better, so there's definitely some movie magic involved. Alright I've got a couple different spoons I think I'm gonna go with this one because it's flatter and then I'm gonna take a little bit of this brick color and go In oh that's moving my contact around I can feel that but this is hard to do with one.

Eye TYLER: oh, that's gonna be a good cut crease. SAFIYA: first doesn't end up being a cut crease it just sort of ends up being like a Dramatic crease look okay my contacts back tada. I think that over here We are seeing something that could be like an eye shadow look, but in general It's not very symmetric or even. Let me try the other spoon on the other eye I think this one's a little more rounded.

So hopefully it'll be a little more flush to my eyeball TYLER: alright, you know what, that looks pretty good! SAFIYA: the thing is for a starting point for eye shadow like you could start from here And then just like keep blending it out I'm just not sure that using a spoon is easier than just like putting the product straight onto your eye Just to be fair to troom troom, I'm gonna blend this out a little bit You know just to make it like more of a look in general this video. Just confuses me I think it's almost like a game of like bad Beauty hack telephone But that seems to be a big part of Instagram videos in general a lot of them are stolen and chopped up I guess that might contribute to why they're so confusing Originally I had suspected that this was multiple troom troom videos cut together But amazingly all of the footage is actually just from one video called makeup challenge full face using food and school supplies I guess these weren't meant to be hacks after all okay So this last hack is a hair hack that I'm very excited about so this video was posted by a page called makeup vines But it was free booted from five-minute crafts So basically what it is you put a scrunchie on like the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner? And then you vacuum up your hair put the scrunchie on and voila ponytail this hack in particular I remember seeing in like a viral video from a few years ago about like a disgruntled dad Trying to do his daughter's hair so Tyler will have the honour of vacuuming my head today,TYLER: so basically. It's me testing this hack SAFIYA: Yes, but it's my head on the line TYLER: without further ado *turns on vaccuum* SAFIYA: AH! TYLER: Let's vacuum some hair! Are you ready for an instant ponytail? SAFIYA: *yelling* No! TYLER: It keeps getting your shirt SAFIYA: *screaming* SAFIYA: Did it work? TYLER: *vacuum shuts off* is that what they want us to do? SAFIYA: You know that tickled. The sound was absolutely terrifying, but the sensation was quite nice, try it again TYLER: So I'm gonna double it up this time because I think it was a little loose Hey, that wasn't so bad.

SAFIYA: I have a complete chunk of hair, that's missing, but that's artful I guess TYLER: you look like a spunky like zoo Disney character right now. Let me try it one more time It's still a little messy. Ah! You've got so much hair. Oh here.

We go here. We go here we go That's what I'm talking about and that's a ponytail It's not perfect, but it's close the level of perfection from five-minute crafts is pretty mind-blowing because there's like stray hairs everywhere SAFIYA: It's not so bad. I'm surprised that it worked. Even as well as it did a major con to this though is that the inside of a vacuum sees some stuff and you probably don't want that stuff on your head besides that I'm Not sure, it's faster than just doing a normal ponytail yourself But it's definitely more exciting so viral video.

Yes hack that you recommend to people I don't think so this could be kind of a good prank though Hey, let me help you but like give you a slightly messy ponytail Okay, so those were my questionable Instagram hacks I'm not sure I really got the hang of any of these hacks But I think the one that was the closest to a hack that might actually work was the tweezer one the other ones may have had some effect But I don't think the results were worth the trouble pain or mess so I wouldn't consider them better than traditional methods I think my main Takeaway from this is that the reason why Instagram has so many hacks like these which are so ridiculous in nature Is that the video posters or reposters are working within the confines of Instagram where you only really get a thumbnail to work with There aren't any visible video titles on Instagram, and you can only see the caption after you've clicked it So you kind of have to make a video that will lend itself to having a crazy thumbnail And if you don't well Then you just have to make up a thumbnail to be fair these videos can be pretty entertaining So if they were marketed more as things you should watch rather than things you should do They'd be a lot less perplexing. I would just also say to Instagram Please add a progress bar and to you all at home. Maybe don't put black pepper under your eyes thank you guys so much for watching if you like that video make sure to smash that like button and if you want to see more videos like this make sure to Smash that subscribe button here are my social media handles and make sure to check out my next feat I vlog on there every Sunday A big shout out to respect the Beck for watching.

Trying Clickbait Beauty Hacks From Facebook

Nope I'm not sure Hello friends and welcome to another video Today I'm gonna be testing out Questionable beauty hacks from Facebook videos. So recently I was scrolling on my Facebook feed and I came across This video, it was a DIY makeup hack video in which the hacker cut up fake Eyelashes and dumped them into clear eyebrow gel And that was it. That was the hack. Much to the ire of the commenters below.

This led me down a rabbit hole of more of these Facebook Beauty hack videos, of which Many seem to share the theme of why, and is that even a hack? It seems like they often just do random things Just to have a sensational thumbnail or title. So it's not really the kind of clickbait where they lie to you because they usually Show you what's in the thumbnail within the video, with some exceptions But often times they seem to just invent something Ridiculous just to get a reaction. And they almost never talk in the videos So they don't really have to explain themselves. To be fair it can be kind of entertaining, like hey You've got a fork on your face.

How about that? But I wouldn't really call them hacks. That said maybe I've got it all wrong Maybe these hacks aren't ridiculous, and they're actually very helpful, so we're gonna put them to the test today and find out. Okay! So first up is this pretty mysterious hack. So this particular video was posted by a Facebook page called Brush, and the caption says "I need to try these" A little bit below that they do credit this girl Luisa Simona's Instagram But it doesn't seem like they tried these before they shared them with the world.

So basically they put some toothpaste and then some baking Soda in a cup and they mix it together oh And then straight away there was no before picture of the chin, Luisa is just brushing the toothpaste on her chin. I don't know what her motivation is, I mean we can watch it with the sound on just to be sure that Louisa's not speaking to us No, it's just just sort of jazzy, love making music. But she does make sure to put up some fish emojis just you know she's making a fish face. Then she wipes it off and We see her chin, and then after that it just goes straight into a different hack, so that's about all the context We have.

So I say let's test this thing. Okay, So she starts off by just pouring the toothpaste in there's no quantities that she gives. She just sort of puts it in It's a pretty artful swirl if I do say so myself, and then after that she puts in what looks like one Teaspoon of baking soda. Oh I spilled it I spilt it this smells really good though Maybe it's for bad breath.

On your face. So how she applies it is She just sort of takes some on her toothbrush and then puts it straight on the chin. Oh, it's cold It just missed completely, oh wow that is Pungent and powerful on the chin, she does sort of brush, it around. Oh that hurts.

I feel hacked Lemme see if Louisa herself has anything to say about this. Ah this must be it. It is supposed to remove blackheads It's supposed to remove blackheads! It's supposed to remove blackheads! Don't leave it on! Well, I've left it on. It's too late now We can't go back.

Alright So I think I should probably take it off now because I've left it on for at least five minutes. Oh boy. Oh oh, ow ow! As it's coming off it hurts more. I don't know that my chin looks like there's less blackheads on it But it does look a little bit red and raw.

So Louisa did have a little bit more instructions But Brush just chose to like completely not include those, though The comments do say a couple of helpful things, do not do the first one with whitening toothpaste. It will burn. Are these whitening? Yes, damn it Louisa! Alright. Well.

That's our first hack. Based on the pain and the lack of instructions I wouldn't recommend this one. Shall we continue? So this next hack was the sort of og hack that started off this whole process This is the clear eye brow gel. This video was posted by a page called "eyeliner addict" And yeah people in the comments are just really not having it.

Like Trishia for example says "so if I shave my legs Or vag I can just glue it on my face?" To which I say Trishia Do you. The thing is as the girl applies the gel to her eyebrows, her eyebrows Don't look bad at the end, but I'm just really Unconvinced that it has anything to do with the little hairs that are in the gel But who knows. So let me wipe my eyebrows off and put some Eyelashes on them. All right, so it looks like her first step is just Chopping off bits of these fake eyelashes.

Does she chop them all up? She must right? This is just not enough hair There's just this is too slow. Okay. This is making your life easier I kind of feel like I don't have as many as they did. They only really showed like one tray of these little eyelashes But I feel like theirs was much hairier.

It looks like a really bad Sneeze. Is that how many nose hairs come out when you sneeze? So we have the exact same eyebrow gel that they showed in their video They have some type of extra dropper though to get it out of there so I'm gonna pop open the top and I'm gonna stick this syringe in. None of these steps were included in the hack by the way. All right, and then I'm gonna syringe the clear gel into our little pot.

Oh, yeah, that looks good. All right well
I think it's time to mix our gel up and Put it on my eyebrows. The thing is like maybe if you have sparse eyebrows you want to fill them in with things that look Legitimately like hair, but I just don't think that these really look like eyebrow hairs They're curly and wiry and... Pubie I know that there's hairs on my brush, but I don't think that they're coming off onto my eyebrow I will admit that my eyebrows are not like the most sparse but at least they match the color of the Eyelashes.

Because I feel like if you had lighter eyebrows this might look ridiculous. Ll right, so I think I've done both brows I don't think that they look like particularly bad You can't even really see the little hairs at all, and if you can they're just kind of like sticking out awkwardly It's possible that they may have thought this was a good hack But I also Think that they may have just thought it looked kind of gross and thought that they could get a bunch of Facebook comments about it And they were right. Kay, so this next hack is for eyeshadow, and I'm gonna be honest I feel like it might work But when I saw this I was just like Why?O this is a video Posted by this page called five minute crafts, its caption is op secret beauty hacks for the perfect image winky face You know what I'm talking about the perfect image. Lright so right in the beginning this person has Covered her face in pads.

Hat is uh not part of any of the hacks I don't think, that she's just sort of done that too artistically show you that pads are gonna Be involved in this video. So basically this woman is putting on eye shadow. She's getting fallout. It's terrible It's almost like a setup like an old-school infomercial It's like do you have a really hard time opening milk? And then now they're gonna show you the solution Which is to just put a straw in the side like joey tribianni my favorite is that she looks to the side sneakily before she pulls the pad out and then she cuts it up into pieces and sticks the pieces under her eyes.

I. Understand the idea of like putting something underneath your eyes to catch fallout, But does it have to be a pad? He people in the comments Don't seem to be loving It. Is no one gonna mention that pads are way too expensive to be using on your face everyday? The sticky adhesive That's supposed to adhere to panties should never go on your face. Listen Angie You seem like a sensible person that has no place in Facebook hack videos.

So um let's try this shall we? Alright so I'm gonna cut my pad as she does. I think my pads a little bit thicker than hers. Then I'm gonna take the Adhesive off and then stick this on the face. It's a good look I'm not sure about her pads, but my pads on my face right now only has adhesive like right in the middle of it, So I actually feel like fallout could still get underneath there.

All right. I'm going into some more vibrant colors Just to make sure we could really test the fallout caching capabilities. I don't really know what type of eye shadow look I'm going for right here. I'm just - putting colors on my face.

All right ready. I'm gonna take them off Oh, I do think that they caught some of the fallout. Cuz you can see that There's a little eye shadow specks sort of right there, so it did catch some of it - this little spot right here But as people in the comments said the expense of using pads under your eyes and also the fact that you have a pad Adhesive on your under eye skin every day makes us a pretty like not feasible hack all right So this next hack is a foundation application Hack, of which I feel like there were a lot in the last year and a half or so alright So this video is from a page called beauty hacks, and their caption is items at home that will save your   makeup routine. And the item they propose will save your Foundation is a balloon.

My biggest gripe with this hack is how they've cut it together, It seems like it doesn't work very well to begin with and then it cuts to her foundation being completely blended, So it makes me feel like she blended out her makeup with something else in between. Okay. I mean let's try it I'm gonna inflate this now Yes This is a tough balloon! Let me stretch this out a little bit Alright there we go hahah! A Beauty Blender! Alright ready? It makes a fun sound when it hits my face:) Alright clear first problem, besides the fact that the foundation isn't really soaking in, which is pretty much exactly What happened in the video, is that this balloon tip is round, And I can't really get in any crevice of my face, but this is fun. I could just do this for a while Oh, that's a good idea.

The balloon is more malleable than I had expected Alright, there seems to be a couple crevices that we just can't reach, So I don't think that her foundation was completely blended out by a balloon, But I would recommend putting a balloon on her face, because it's fun. I wouldn't call it a beauty hack, But it would be what I would call a fun evening. So this next hack is an example of what I'd call the hack gone too far. This video is called 9 hacks for perfect cat eyes, and this girl basically just takes any Item she can find with a straight edge, and puts it next to her eye.

Which seems to be okay when it's like tape are like a playing card. She then goes on to paint scissors with eyeliner and put them next to her EYE. The interesting things about these comments are that a lot of people are criticizing her eyeliner Which I actually don't find to be the problem, There are not enough people in these comments being like please don't put next to your eye. Anyway with that, Let's try it.

Which end does it look like she's using I think it's this end Yeah, it's a long pointy one so I think in spirit this hack is pretty- that just freaked me out Yeah, it just freaked me out. To me this hack is similar to like an eyeliner stamp where she actually Paints the eyeliner on the little edge, and then stamps it Stamps it on her eye to which I would say use anything else, but this. This is probably one of the Dumber things We've done on this channel. Alright Ready, I'm not ready.

I'm nervous mom .  Whoa That wasn't even good. It didn't come out very well. Which is a shame because I put my eyeball on the line I think I'm gonna have to try it again And maybe try and paint more of the scissor blade, thing is my scissor has a flat end right here, and so does hers It's not even like a point.

Yeah. I don't think that looks very good I'm just gonna do the other side just for good measure. Well. I mean that's better, but it's still terrible! Yeah, I wouldn't recommend this hack I don't think either eye is ideal and also putting a scissor next to your eye is not ideal So I would say in general don't do this one Okay, so this next hack is also from the Facebook page Brush And it is called four emergency makeup hacks Everyone needs to know.

So this one is like a few hacks in in this video And it's basically supposed to be Emergency lipstick. They put Elmer's glue and food coloring into a bowl, mix it together Then apply it to their lips, and let it sit for 10 minutes, and then peel it off. So I think basically the idea is that I would be staining my lips, which may work But I think my biggest issue with it is just like why would I have these things with me in a makeup Emergency? I feel like if you're you're in a pinch and you've got 10 minutes to spare try and see where the nearest CBS is I think that's number one on the list. Alright, and now let's put it on my lips all right Let me try and get a good coat of this on there.

I'm trying to get some butthole coverage as well I know I feel like a Barbie doll. So yeah, I'm gonna hang around for 10 minutes And then we're gonna peel it off .Alright, so it's been 10 minutes I can't really talk, but it's really solidified, and I think I hopefully I'm ready to peel it off Oh, yeah, that's a pretty good peel very snake skinny And I do think my lips look pretty pink actually. I do have a little bit of like extra Glue kind of like in the inner rim, butthole area but besides that I think that the stain did work, I just don't think that this is what one would or should do when presented with a makeup emergency. It doesn't seem like a good use of time or glue.

All right, so we've made it this far This is our very last hack This is a video from eyeliner addict And the caption is take your makeup off with shaving cream. Basically this girl rubs shaving cream all over her face And you know it sort of tries to show us that it's taking her makeup off Then she says but be careful around your eyes And then it cuts ahead to the eye makeup already being removed. So I suspect that this hack doesn't really work And they're just living off the cachet that like shaving creams a weird quirky thing to put on your face. So with that Let's try and take our makeup off.

Nope. I'm not sure. I put too much on I need help. All right.

Just give me one second I'm just gonna run to the bathroom and get rid of this extra stuff. So she basically just takes the cotton round and just swipes it down like this. I mean it looks like there's some makeup that came of.Mostly, I feel like I just took off the shaving cream You know? I'm gonna need a lot of cotton rounds for this. See I just don't see how this is helping anyone I think that the shaving cream is a little bit, itchy and it's also like weirdly drying? All right So it seems like we've reached the eyes She completely skipped this portion so um I guess just straight to the eye.

Is that working at all? I actually do think it's taking some of my eyeshadow off, but I'm not convinced It's doing anything for the eyeliner I think it's just sort of smudging it around. I would be at this for like a good 30 minutes before I was actually Makeup free. So I don't think I would call this a hack, and the fact that this is the only hack in this video is Worse, I think, it's not like a filler hack It's not like oh, we need fives like throwing in there there like this deserves a video Do you think we could cut ahead and then it would work? Ya just turn all the cameras off, I'll take my makeup off with the makeup wipe and then we'll re-roll. Okay So those were my facebook beauty hacks.

Out of all of these hacks There were definitely a couple that worked to a certain extent, But I would also say that none of them prioritized ease, convenience or common-sense over getting views shares and comments on their videos To be fair there are weird beauty hacks all over the internet But on other platforms like blog posts and YouTube videos the Creator has to at least try to explain Why they think the hack is helpful, but in these videos they're more like this is a ridiculous seeming method We're not going to explain to you Why this is happening and we're gonna bet on the fact that you're probably not gonna try it and call us out on it. Now I. Understand the plight of posting videos to Facebook They're basically trying to get people to stop scrolling on their feed and watch a video They didn't ask, for so these videos basically need to be as crazy as Possible to stand out. Which explains why these videos are pretty fun to watch and sort of out of the box But good beauty hacks they are not thank you guys so much for watching if you liked that video make sure to Shmash that like button and if you want to see more videos like this make sure to shmash that subscribe button a big shout out To Melinda mayhem for watching, thanks for watching, Melinda, and I will see you guys a next time.
