This does not look. [laughing]

Sorry.

What does that look like, my loves?

Okay.

[machine buzzing]

What?

[upbeat music]

This is the Edgar cut trend.

I'm scared for this.

Whatever this is is...

[Benito yelps]

Oh my god.

Whoa.

Okay, explain this to me.

So it's like fluffy bowl cut, kinda?

I think we might be running out of ideas, you guys.

Is that what that wig is?

Should we see what I look like with it?

Okay, this is very similar to my Kris Jenner wig.

Okay.

[peppy music]

Me pulling up.

Can you imagine me to my boyfriend?

Should we have sex?

Just based on everyone's faces,

I feel like this is gonna be a no for me.

But if you want this haircut, do it, king.

I think Jenni kind of has an Edgar cut, in a lot of ways.

So she's definitely done a few Edgar cuts.

I don't know if people asked for the Edgar cut

when they got one, but she's done a few in her day.

Kind of Beatles-ey, in a way.

Kind of historical.

Yeah, okay, no.

Edgar cut is really scary.

I don't wanna see it.

This is the peel-off lip stain trend.

Oh, okay.

She's rubbing hot blood on her lips.

Fabulous.

I love her outfit.

Okay, now she's rubbing it off.

It looks a little bit like tar.

Whoa!

Okay, yeah, her lips are a little darker.

And you probably could've just done

like a color lip oil for that.

But you know what?

Looks good.

How long does this last?

Do we know?

Hello?

The camera guy's like, hell yeah, lasts a week.

I don't know, you can also buy a really cheap lipstick

and it'll give you that same stain for about a month.

When I was living in Williamsburg,

like the first few videos I was doing,

I bought like $1 lipstick.

And I had this red one I used for Kris Jenner.

My lips were red for like a month.

I'm gonna say no on this one.

Honest feedback, whoa.

Maybe I'm like, I'm like this on it.

Are we good with that?

If I go like this.

Okay, next one.

This is the LED face jewels trend.

Whoa, she's good at liner.

Whoa, when someone's good at liner, I get really stressed,

because I can't believe people can do that.

Whoa!

Oh my God.

Her little, it's strobing.

She has strobes by her eyes.

God, what if it rains?

Are these waterproof?

Here they are right here.

Okay.

So this goes on like the back of the head.

And you're kind of, it's like an earpiece.

And then this is here.

Like this on my butt chin.

Can you imagine?

Okay, these are really fun.

Don't show these to Charli XCX stans.

Oh my God, they'll be sold out in a second.

I feel like these are really fun.

It does seem like, again, a lot of work.

But, like to hide this.

And I don't know if I could possibly hide it in my hair.

But, maybe for a wig, maybe for a character.

This is women in STEM.

Yes.

Thumbs up.

This is the no filler lip plumping hack.

I'm excited for this.

That does not look like...

Oh, oh my God.

What?

Oh my God.

It's literally sucking her lips off. [laughs]

Oh my God.

Did it make her lips bigger?

She has amazing lips.

Wait, can I try this?

Oh my God, this does not look... [laughing]

Sorry.

What does that look like, my loves?

Okay.

[machine buzzing]

What?

Oh my God.

This just sucked the [beeps] outta my lips.

Imagine like, hey, yeah, I'm just getting ready.

I'll be out in five minutes.

[machine buzzing]

These are great to dissociate with.

I feel like you could just put this on and just...

[machine buzzing]

Do my lips look bigger?

I think Mr. Hollywood would definitely use this.

I just worry he has too much filler.

I don't know if he could fit in there.

As a first step, absolutely.

Now I'm kind of addicted to it.

[machine buzzing]

I just know that like this would probably

be the last straw for my boyfriend.

This is the 2016 versus 2024 makeup trend.

I already know how I feel about this.

I'm very excited.

We have come so far.

The block brows.

I miss them.

That makeup is so hard to do.

This is incredible.

'Cause now it's like no makeup makeup,

which I don't really understand.

It's like, was it so bad if I have makeup on?

Okay.

Wow, yeah, the powder.

Anastasia Beverly Hills, iconic.

Is that really 2024 makeup though?

I feel like 2024 makeup is kind of like,

I have a ton of blush on.

You know, that's kind of the whole thing.

I had to do this makeup all the time

'cause I was making Kardashian videos, in 2016.

So I would watch videos like this and try to figure it out.

Okay, I love both.

I think if 2016 makeup comes back, I'll be so happy.

I'm so nostalgic for that time.

People pulling up with a beat like this is so fine.

It's like, oh hey, how's it going?

This is so much makeup.

I love it.

Are you kidding?

A cut crease.

Like if we all had cut creases on right now,

we'd have a sick day.

I think yes to both.

This is the cold plunging trend.

Whoa.

It looks like she's running from something.

Play that first part, when she looks behind her.

She's like, oh my God, she's running from the police.

She stole all these ice bags.

Whoa, okay.

She's dunking her head.

I don't know about that though.

I do love rubbing ice cubes on my face.

Sofie Pavitt, a great aesthetician in New York.

She has these like ice cubes for your skin that are amazing.

So I love ice on the face.

I don't know if I would dunk my whole head.

So I used to have to do this.

I ran track in high school, huge brag.

Everyone here is going crazy.

And they would make me do ice baths,

like they would force us to.

And my initial reaction is to immediately scream.

And I was in the closet at the time,

so my scream, I wouldn't say...

I would say, if you had to hear my scream it, it leans gay.

It is, 'cause I am.

I assume like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Sabrina,

like they all have to do this, right?

To like perform.

I'm mostly doing one hour standup sets, very quickly.

We're in, we're out.

I don't know if I need an ice bath.

I would love the thought though that I leave stage

and I'm like, I gotta get in a ice bath after that.

This is the Poosh avocado pudding trend.

Keto meal plan.

Avocado smoothie.

Here she goes.

Is this smoothie for your face, or just drinking it?

Oh, it's to eat.

I love a smoothie.

I love a green smoothie.

Is that it?

Okay you guys, this is the Poosh avocado smoothie.

It is so light and fluffy.

[upbeat music]

It doesn't have like that much...

It's very avocado-ey, but I like avocado, so.

Yeah, it's very light tasting.

Wait, this is really good, whoever did this.

You killed it. Thank you.

I like how this tastes, oddly.

Avocado, honey, and coconut milk.

It is so easy, it is so sexy in a way.

It's very rock.

Hmm.

There's a little saltiness too.

Great job, Court.

Love you, Court.

Thanks for having me Allure.

I hope to do it again soon.

This is coming home with me.
