[Roxxxy] Why did I think you were gonna eat that?

I did, too, I was like- I did, too.

[Shannel laughs] And you did.

[bright music]

So this TikTok trend is,

the Nail Drill for Thinning Lace hack.

Oh, [beep], I've seen this before!

[Vanjie] What?

A lot of you bitches are about to be in luck,

if this works.

Oh, my god. Oh, I've seen these, okay.

Oh.

[all exclaiming]

Work!

Innovation.

Okay. That's everything.

Yeah, everything. Alright, let me try.

[nail drill buzzing]

Oh!

[Nina laughs]

I'm scared.

[Plastique] Okay, is it-

[nail drill buzzing] It-

Is it, like, wanting to wind around it almost?

[Plastique] It does cut it.

Do it harder.

It makes it very thin to make it blend.

[Nina] Oh!

[Plastique] Wait, actually-

Is that a hole or a, like, thin lace?

[Plastique laughing]

[Plastique] It's a vole hole.

Look like Ratatouille got to it.

[Gottmik] Maybe this trend is for, like,

when it's actually bad lace, and it's, like,

so thick, you know? Thick?

'Cause this is, like, fine. Yeah.

This is a At-Home Laser Hair Removal trend.

Mm.

Mm. Wow.

Oh.

[all exclaiming]

That's so cool!

[all exclaiming]

That is really amazing.

Wait, so, the hair comes off immediately?

No.

No, it falls out.

No, we have to come back here in six weeks.

We'll come back in six weeks.

Is it gonna be bad if I burn it?

[Vanjie] Oh, she about to start it.

[Gottmik] Wait, these are actually black-out glasses.

Oh, yeah, everyone, close your eyes, apparently.

I'ma watch, I need to.

Oh, okay.

Did it hurt?

It feels a lot smaller than a regular laser

at the laser hair removal place,

but it definitely has a little sting in the-

I think it's water. Sting.

[Vanjie] Oh.

What about a wig?

[Jorgeous laughing]

I would definitely try this on my face.

Yeah, I would, I would try it, yeah.

No.

This is the D.I.Y. Lip Plumper trend.

Right?

What the heck is she doing?

What is she doing?

Wait.

No. Oh, hell no.

Oh, girl, turn the video off.

No.

Now, girl, wait.

They do look nice and plump, though.

I wouldn't try because, I feel like,

whenever I eat, like, hot wings and stuff I feel like that,

and I don't like the feeling.

These trends are dangerous, kids.

[Michael] Are there better lip-plumping methods?

Yes, getting stung by bees.

Injections.

Or Juvederm. Juvederm.

This is the Frothed Foundation trend.

Frothed? Frothed.

What is froth? Frothy.

Like the coffee. Like a-

Like, fluffy. That.

Like fluffy. Frothy.

Water and then foundation.

I guess.

That's kind of cute,

how mousse-y it went on. I kind of dig it.

Yeah, it's, like, mousse-y. That's totally

what you said.

Do you guys remember the Dream Matte Mousse Foundation?

[Roxxxy] Yes. [bell sounds]

That is this.

[Plastique gasps]

Oh, my god. I used to use that every day

in high school.

Alright, so- Yeah, you better watch

where you're frothin', honey.

[Vanjie] She didn't have that much water in hers.

[Shannel] Well, today we doin' it big and frothy.

[Angeria] She gonna be extra mousse-y.

[Gottmik] Big and frothy?

I feel like we doin' science experiments.

Hey, you put a little bit more, it be like a concealer.

[Jorgeous] I'm scared.

Alright, let's froth it, okay?

Oh! Oh, hell.

Why you doin' it closer?

Why are you getting closer? [conversation overlapping]

[Vanjie] Let's froth this bitch!

Okay, so, yeah, There's too much water

in it. There is too much water.

Oh, but no more, oh! Drink some of it out.

Oh! Shannel, Shannel,

drink, just take a sip of it. Yeah, don't put it on me.

Chocolate it ain't, boo, chocolate milk it ain't.

But, in theory, that looks like that could be kind of cool

to try it on, like with-

Yeah. Like she did it?

I would try that. Yeah.

Okay, well, you come back to us and let us know.

I'ma do that.

This is the Duck Nails trend.

And I'm already gonna tell you, Hell to the na,

to the na, na, na.

Wait, I kind of like it. Alright.

Absolutely not.

I mean- It could be a thing.

Oh, I get it. That's kind of cute.

That one, the color is cute. Oh!

[all exclaiming]

Okay!

I'm excited!

I'm actually not mad at it, though.

I wear fish nets, and those would be cutting

my fish nets up.

It actually don't look bad, though, I will weigh on that.

It don't look good, either.

This is the Chia Seed Face Mask trend.

♪ Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia ♪

Let's get into it. Chia pets.

Oh! Oh, what's that thing where

people hate the little dots together?

Ew, trypophobia?

Yeah, that's tricko-rhombus.

I wonder what the chia seed does, though.

Hey, Siri?

What does chia seed do for the skin?

Is there anything but chia seeds?

Oh, why did I think you were gonna eat that?

I did, too, I was like- I did, too.

And you did! [Shannel laughs]

Is it just chia?

I don't know.

Is it good?

[Nina laughing]

Oh, my god.

What do you mean? Yes, actually, they're good.

Chia pudding. Do you want some?

What does it taste like?

I think we all have makeup on. [laughs]

Ha, ha, girl.

I mean, I don't really know, it literally just feels

a little, like, sticky.

[Vanjie gasps]

Oh, you just doin' it.

[Michael] Keep our skin clear.

[All] Wow!

This is the Mouth Tape for Sleeping trend.

So let's get into it, please.

Tryin' to suffocate yourself?

Dang.

Oh! Oh, oh!

That looks like me in drag.

[Plastique laughing]

But you know what they say that you swallow

spiders. Spiders?

Oh. Yeah.

Who says? So this is not how that-

They. They?

They said, who's they? But that would feel, like,

suffocating, like,- I would-

Yeah, that's what I would say, yeah.

No, absolutely not.

[Gottmik] Wait, why do you do this?

Better sleep?

Or you could just take some melatonin pills.

Right? That works, too.

Knock yourself out. Yeah, no.

Yeah.

Okay, Michael, our director. [Nina clapping]

Wait, go to bed, go to bed.

Got it.

How does it-

But you're supposed to keep it on all night.

How does it feel?

Mm.

Mm-hmm.

That would feel suffocating.

Could you sleep with it on?

[Gottmik] Give me that. [tape rips]

Wow. Wow.

[all exclaiming] [Plastique clapping]

This is the Rainbow Lips trend

for the JoJo Siwas of the group.

Holy cow. Oh, damn.

Oh, wow. Holy cow, for sure.

This girl knows how to paint.

If you didn't know how to paint a face,

this would look a fool.

So she does it really well.

You wanna come back and we could do it again?

Yeah.

[Angeria laughing]

Get over here.

This is Faux Lip Piercing trend.

What?

Nail glue.

[Plastique laughing]

Okay. Oh.

That's kind of-

Come off like a Christine Aguilera.

Cool.

That's drag, Momma. [laughs] That's drag, honey.

This is fierce, but don't swallow it.

Yeah.

This is the Wig Lightening with the Baking Soda hack.

So bleach in a wig with baking soda, gotcha.

Oh, fuck, making potions and shit.

Making potions. Is it, like, dish soap?

Hecate, Hecate.

Yep, dish soap, baking soda. Dawn, uh-huh.

Ooh, the-

Okay. The wig is already blonde.

They washin' the wig with Dawn soap?

Oh, cool, cute.

I mean, wouldn't that dry it out?

Oh, that's a pretty color. You could do it.

Did it work? Dry it.

Do we start at the roots, ladies?

Wait, I wanna see this. I'm just gonna shove it in.

[Michael] Yeah.

From the top, yeah.

So now, we just- You'll have

white fingertips now. [laughs] Yeah, yeah.

[all laughing]

Do we wait? How long do you go?

[Michael] I think just give her a couple of dunks

and it should all come off.

Couple dunks? Really?

[Shannel laughing] Yes.

A couple of dunks, yeah.

Just a couple of dunks. A couple of dunks!

[Plastique] Wait, pull it out, pull it out.

Bitch. Wait!

[Nina] Look how dirty that wig was. [laughs]

[Vanjie] Oh, damn, it was brand new.

[Gottmik] Did it work?

[Shannel] It just takes the color out.

Baby, you can bleach the doll.

I don't know, I think something's definitely

happening, the water looks nasty.

You can't bleach the doll. And my hand smells nasty.

[Roxxxy] Let me see, let me smell the fingers.

Smells bad. Oh, yeah, it does smell.

Oh, my god, I smell 'em.

Here, if anyone else wants to.

[Shannel] You smell your finger, now, girl. [laughs]

[all laughing]

[Michael] How would you typically dye your brown wig?

Pay somebody.

Yeah. [laughs]

Very that, very that.

After we filmed Season 11, I was so broke

that I had to, like, make wigs in order to,

like, pay for Drag Race.

So I would, like, color a bunch of wigs.

But there's, like, watercolor method.

In a pinch, you can use, like, hydrogen peroxide.

I would put hydrogen peroxide in my hair,

and then go to bed.

[all gasping]

Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

Weird, your real-

Like yours? Hole in your head

when you wake up? Uh-huh.

And then I woke up, and- But my hair was light, so.

[Nina laughing] Weird.

And it was, like, burnt orange,

as long as it didn't hurt. and I would walk into school

feeling so [beep] like, it was, like, over for the pose.

[Roxxxy] I think you needed sun.

Like, we would put peroxide when we go to the pool,

and between the bleach in the pool, and the peroxide,

you would get lighter hair.

And that's why we can't read now.

[all laughing]

Thank you for hanging out with us, Allure.

Thank you.
