00:00I feel like this is the one thing that I look and I'm like lift.
00:03Lift what though?
00:03My spirits.
00:05They lift my spirit aura.
00:06Today, we're going to play...
00:08Would You Use It?
00:10Question mark.
00:10Question mark?
00:11Would you?
00:12Think about it.
00:17Ready.
00:19It takes about eight seconds to get ready.
00:22This product uses warmth rather than force to get its result.
00:26Its entire job is to give a little lift.
00:30Warmth.
00:31Warmth.
00:31These feel like heat.
00:33No, I have these guys.
00:34It's not for you.
00:35It's not for you.
00:36It takes about eight seconds to get ready.
00:38This I genuinely have never seen.
00:39I think I know what this is.
00:40Does this produce heat?
00:41Warmth.
00:42This looks like a...
00:45It's just a flashlight.
00:47This has a temperature.
00:49But does it take time?
00:50I think it might be this one because I just turned it on and it's not doing anything.
00:54That's like red light.
00:55That's like for like your scalp.
00:56Oh my god.
00:57Oh my god.
00:58I hung it down.
00:58What the f*** is that?
01:00I feel like this is a temperature thing.
01:01I have this too.
01:03Is it just cold?
01:04Is it just cold?
01:04No, it's hot.
01:05It's this.
01:06But it doesn't take eight seconds.
01:07It heats up fast in my experience.
01:08Well, that's pretty fast.
01:09Eight seconds.
01:10Okay.
01:11How about we all pick one because we don't know.
01:15I don't feel satisfied with these options.
01:17I'm stressed.
01:17I feel like it's...
01:18Oh!
01:19This heats up.
01:19This is a nail curer.
01:21Yes.
01:23It doesn't lift though, huh?
01:24Does that have heat?
01:25Wait.
01:25It doesn't turn off.
01:28It might have heat.
01:29I feel like lifting.
01:31Hello?
01:32Hello?
01:32Oh, there's levels to this thing.
01:34Okay.
01:34My answer's locked in.
01:36I feel like this is the one thing that I look and I'm like lift.
01:39Yeah.
01:39Lift what though?
01:40Like your face.
01:41It's spirits.
01:42They lift my speaker aura.
01:44Guys, yeah.
01:45I'm not satisfied with any of my options.
01:46I'm not satisfied with you guys.
01:47Look at that because it's...
01:47I don't know.
01:48That's not heating up.
01:49Ready?
01:50We are going for this one.
01:52I don't like any of you.
01:53No drum roll.
01:55Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
01:57Alright.
01:58Heated eyelash curler.
01:59Oh!
02:00Oh!
02:01I get it!
02:02Wait, but is it hot now?
02:02Maybe when it touches it is hot.
02:04Do you want to guess the price of this?
02:06$35.
02:07Okay.
02:07No, bro.
02:0828.
02:09You could just use your hair dryer to heat it up.
02:12Yeah.
02:12Heat up your lash curler and then curl your lashes.
02:14But touch it with your fingers so you don't burn your eye.
02:17Beauty tips.
02:17You heard it here first.
02:18Be careful.
02:19Be careful.
02:19What's your guess for the price?
02:21I'm guessing $70.
02:23Wow.
02:24That's a good price.
02:24$70?
02:24I feel like that's innovative.
02:26Yeah.
02:26I'll go $32.
02:29Alright.
02:30You're the closest.
02:31It's $19.99.
02:32Oh!
02:33Way cheaper than I thought they would be.
02:36I have some adjustments I'd like to make to the design.
02:39Yeah.
02:40But I think in theory, I feel like this is not the right shape to actually get all your lashes.
02:45You need to have maybe smaller and do sections.
02:48Or like...
02:49Can you ever get those same lashes?
02:50No, I'm not convinced.
02:51I love a good old fashioned, you know, simple eyelash curler.
02:55Yeah.
02:55We would not use.
02:56Or would we?
02:57Yeah?
02:57I'm okay.
02:58I think I'm good, yeah.
03:00I'm really intrigued.
03:01Okay, ready?
03:02Yeah.
03:03Designed to tighten, lift, sculpt, and reshape.
03:07Designed to reduce facial wrinkles.
03:09Looks like something from a hardware store.
03:11Hardware store.
03:13I think this is kind of wooden as well.
03:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:15But I think this is more...
03:17But that looks like...
03:17That looks like a weapon.
03:18Like a wrench.
03:19If you go like this.
03:19I feel like...
03:20I can't wait to know what this is.
03:22Yes!
03:22Is this some form of wrinkle prevention?
03:25No, so you put that in your mouth and like, I think, and then you do that, and it like...
03:28Ain't no way.
03:29I've seen adverts.
03:30What do you mean?
03:30How does this look like from a hardware store?
03:32It could go windshield wiper.
03:34There's a lot of things in hardware stores.
03:35I think it's either that or that.
03:37You know what?
03:37I'm gonna stick with this guy.
03:39Okay.
03:39I think I'm gonna go for that.
03:40She's got wood on it as well.
03:41I'm actually...
03:42I'm with you on this.
03:43I feel like this is more like tool appliance.
03:45Right?
03:46Which one of the lenses?
03:46I'm going with this one as well.
03:48Is it weird that I wear this one?
03:50No.
03:50No.
03:51You do too.
03:53Reusable lifting bandage?
03:55Oh.
03:56What?
03:57That.
03:57That doesn't look like a hardware store.
03:59This looks like a panty liner.
04:01Around your neck.
04:01I've seen this on TikTok.
04:02People wear on like flights, don't they?
04:04Mm-hmm.
04:04To like...
04:05What do you guys use it?
04:07No.
04:07No, I'm a little scared of it.
04:09I have a feeling that doesn't do anything.
04:10Is this for your hair?
04:11What is this for?
04:12Somebody put it on.
04:13Do you want to put it on?
04:13I hate...
04:14Oh, she hates velcro.
04:15Who wants to put it on?
04:16Yeah, put it on.
04:18No, no.
04:18Don't mess up your makeup.
04:19Oh, wow.
04:21Oh, wow.
04:21It's very...
04:23Girl.
04:24Can we get hair in here?
04:24Okay, sorry.
04:25It's fine.
04:26Can we join us the price really quick?
04:28$8.
04:29$3.
04:30Okay, no.
04:30Five.
04:31I think six.
04:32$14.89.
04:33Would not use.
04:34Thanks, girl.
04:36We're such low maintenance girls.
04:37Yeah, we're like, we don't need anything.
04:39I'm so ready.
04:40I'm ready.
04:41Works best when you move gently across a very specific surface.
04:46Don't.
04:46Daisy, stop it.
04:47Let's not even go there.
04:48Stop it.
04:49Wait, sorry.
04:49Repeat the question.
04:50This next one's even better.
04:52Can be held in one hand, but is supposed to do most of the moving for you.
04:56Stop.
04:56Wow.
04:57Okay, y'all are doing this on purpose.
04:58This is on purpose, guys.
04:59And designed to make things look more even.
05:02Oh.
05:03Okay, this looks like a beauty blender.
05:05Wait, wait, wait, wait.
05:06Can be held in one hand.
05:07Can be held in one hand.
05:08Oh my god.
05:09It is a beauty blender.
05:10It is a beauty blender.
05:11What's up?
05:12I feel like that's the only thing that moves for you.
05:14Yeah.
05:14I think it must be that.
05:15It probably is that one.
05:16It probably is that one.
05:17Do you think it's designed to make things look more even though?
05:19Are we being cute?
05:20Yes.
05:21That's the one.
05:22Because if your arm gets tired, it's going to cramp.
05:25Someone with a lot of time on their hands, girl.
05:27Like this is such a waste of resources.
05:29They're lazy.
05:31Is it one?
05:33No!
05:34I think it's this.
05:35This is a beauty blender.
05:36This is the one.
05:37Yeah, I feel like we all agree.
05:39We all agree.
05:40It's moving.
05:41It's got on itself.
05:43It's got to be this one.
05:44It has to be.
05:45If it's not, I'm going to be impressed.
05:46We're going to turn this thing off.
05:48If it's not, the video ends here.
05:50Yes.
05:51Electronic Powder Puff Machine for makeup.
05:53Yay!
05:55Do you want to guess how much it's worth?
05:57They have a price on here.
05:58Over $100.
05:59I'm going to guess $50.
06:00I think it'll be $45.
06:01Oh, I'm $120.
06:02Like a $30?
06:03I'll say lower.
06:04$10.99.
06:05Would we use it?
06:06$10.99.
06:07No.
06:07Would not use.
06:08No, not necessary.
06:10No.
06:11Would not use.
06:12Sorry to whoever invented that.
06:13Sorry.
06:14Not sorry.
06:14You're doing too much.
06:15I fear.
06:16Okay, this next one is works best when pointed very specifically at its target.
06:21Done.
06:22Yep.
06:23Is particularly useful when you want to speed up a process that normally requires a little
06:28patience.
06:30Rechargeable.
06:32Cordless.
06:32It's never going to be this kind.
06:35It's never going to be that kind.
06:36We're so wrong.
06:37Okay, rechargeable, cordless, and small enough to take with you.
06:40Okay.
06:40Oh, it's that.
06:41It's that.
06:42Definitely.
06:42Yeah.
06:43It's the nail.
06:44It's very specific.
06:45Oh, yeah.
06:45Okay, ready?
06:46That's what I needed.
06:47And three, two, one.
06:49And how would flash?
06:51Can I?
06:51You gave points to the prize.
06:53And how much do you think it is?
06:54I think it's $90.
06:57You're right!
06:58Would you use it?
06:59It was so small.
07:00I would use that.
07:01If I did my own nails.
07:02If I did my own nails, hell yeah.
07:06Does not require batteries, a charger, or an instructions manual with 47 steps.
07:11Designed to encourage relaxation and massage rather than dramatically transform anything overnight.
07:16Designed for both targeted mama point massage and full face Ayurvedic routines.
07:22Is that how you say it?
07:23Yeah, I'm South Asian.
07:24It's this one.
07:24It's that.
07:25100%.
07:26Ayurveda?
07:26It's this one.
07:27Come on now.
07:28Okay, ready?
07:29I'm with her.
07:30I agree.
07:32Cancel one for face and foot massage.
07:34How?
07:35And how much do you think that costs?
07:37I feel like this specific one, I feel like they could get expensive.
07:42I don't know about this specific one.
07:43I'm going to say around like a $35.
07:46I would use that.
07:47Yeah, I would use it.
07:47This is great.
07:48This is actually really nice.
07:50I love skincare because it's something that I didn't before really care for.
07:57But then as I grew up, I was like, oh, this is actually therapeutic.
08:00Like finding a nice way to love it in my own way.
08:03But seeing it always online and then like getting forced out.
08:06Yeah.
08:07There's so many ways.
08:08There's so many ways.
08:08Like this is over consumerism.
08:10I'm not, I'm not down with this.
08:12And I'm not down with convincing people.
08:13We do not need this.
08:13Yeah.
08:14Are you for real?
08:17Let women age.
08:18Let women age, but also like, I'm not trying to find an insecurity that I never had.
08:23It's going to fly away or something.
08:24Yeah, that's the whole point.
08:26They're just trying to like create insecurities.
08:27What would I use on hair?
08:28I would use this.
08:29I'd potentially use this.
08:31This is like, actually that does work.
08:34Well, I use it with like these attachments and I zap a pimple.
08:37So good.
08:38I love a beauty and a gadget as much as the next girl, but I think it's important to like
08:42rein yourself in.
08:43Keep it simple.
08:45Find what you enjoy.
08:45Just do what you enjoy.
08:46Self care is important.
08:47Self care is important.
08:48And aging is okay.
08:49Yes.
08:50Completely.
08:50Love yourself.
08:51Love yourself.
08:52Love yourself.
08:56See you next time.
08:58If this is right, right?
08:59It's one of the things you put in your mouth and you're like, wow.
09:01That is crazy.
