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.
