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
