Bella Thorne Tests Beauty Gadgets

I really wanna know how to use this one.

Is it a poking method?

Is it a smoothing method?

Does it go up your nose method?

Let's try.

Yes, it fits.

Hey, what's up?

I'm Bella Thorne.

And today, I'm gonna be a guest correspondent for Wired.

[bell dings]

I'm gonna be reviewing some fashion and beauty tech.

Alrighty, first gadget.

Let's see it.

[upbeat music]

Oh boy, I know what these are.

I remember when these were the craze,

and everyone was like,

Oh my God, have you seen the Snapchat glasses?

So [beep] cool,

I can record you while just wearing glasses.

Look at me, you can't even tell I'm recording you.

But it's like,

obviously you're recording,

this [beep] blinking light over here.

All right.

Let's read some of these reviews.

I wanna see what people are saying.

If you're an avid Snapchat user,

such as myself,

then these things will be a perfect gift for you!

My few gripes are that battery life is frankly terrible,

and these are way too pricey.

He gives it four stars.

What?

Four stars out of five with that review?

I just don't know about those numbers.

I don't think that adds up.

These glasses have pretty bad pairing issues.

I can see that.

They did not pair with this.

For $200, I shouldn't have to be

troubleshooting these things

every time I wanna upload a video.

One star from Jarel.

By the way,

for everyone who says I can't read,

hello,

do you guys see me read

this for the first time out loud?

I really wanna see if they actually work, though,

because I remember when I went to the Snapchat offices

and they gave me a pair,

I tried it and it didn't work.

And I was like, well, this is pointless.

I don't understand,

like, what is happening here?

Like did it record it?

Did it work?

Does anybody know how these [beep] things work?

Anyone?

'Cause I surely don't.

[upbeat music]

Definitely the style of the glasses is

better than the first model.

At least these look a bit more low-key.

The other ones that I saw,

if I remember correctly,

had like yellow and black and really obvious.

Yeah, I give this product zero stars

because the lights turned on.

I think that's about all the glasses do.

[upbeat music]

Well, it feels cheap and flimsy.

I'm assuming it's supposed to go like this.

Oh, definitely some stimulation for the brain.

I'm just feeling really X-Men vibes with this.

Muse 2 makes meditation easy

by giving you real life feedback

on your mind and body

to help you recognize calm

and stay in the zone.

Immersive soundscapes respond in real time

to your brain activity, heart rate,

body movements, and breathing.

This feedback guides your wandering mind

to a focused and calm state.

Would highly recommend anyone looking

to start meditation,

or who is looking to go deeper

in a meditation practice.

Five stars from Andrew.

Buggy and not worth the money.

I bought this to relax.

And now I am more stressed out about wasting my money.

One star from John.

This does go on your forehead.

So this goes around the back of the ears.

I can try and hold it.

[Producer] Yeah.

[Bella] It says to make sure I'm wearing

the headband properly,

but I'm clearly not.

[AI] Muse's sensors allow you

to discover your mind and body

in a completely unique way.

I already hate this.

[AI] Through powerful real-time feedback.

Muse will help guide you to a deeper understanding

of yourself and your practice.

Place the rubber ear sensors-

I learned a lot and connected

very deeply with my inner self.

And my inner self says I hate meditation.

[upbeat music]

The voice itself was a little annoying

and I just don't know if I'd be able to meditate

with that voice instructing me what to do.

It would drive me a little crazy.

I know that my fiance is really big in meditation

and I'm sure he'd look at that as a piece of [beep].

So, out of five stars,

I would give this product one star

because at least they had

the app part of it working.

[upbeat music]

Ooh, Dyson hair wrap.

I got one of these upstairs that I've never used

because I don't know how.

And it looks too confusing.

Oh, this just looks like a huge vibrator.

[beep] yeah.

Interesting, I wonder what all these guys do.

Oh, liking this.

This is good.

Not so much.

What?

[gasps]

Oh, what are you?

[upbeat music]

Dyson Airwrap Styler.

No clamping mechanisms or gloves,

just voluminous curls and waves.

Intelligent heat control measures hair temperature

over 40 times a second

to prevent extreme heat damage while styling.

Amazon customer.

It is absolutely the most wonderful, amazing,

fabulous hair-styling blow dryer.

I love it. I love it.

I love it. I love it.

I love it.

No, I'm serious.

All those Love its are in there.

Don't waste your money.

If you have long hair,

it don't curl very well and it don't last.

Two stars from Kim.

[blow dryer blows air]

There's a lot of heat coming off.

Feels like a blow dryer almost, to be honest.

Nope.

[Producer] So it uses, like,

airflow to get the hair around.

But all you do is just like,

and you put it at the end over the thing.

Uh huh.

[Producer] See how it wraps there?

And now you got a curl right there.

Oh.

[Producer] Yep.

Okay. And you grab-

[Producer] Yep, and then twist.

I'm just not gonna spend

this much time trying to, like,

get this thing working in the morning.

I guess that made a nice wave.

Very bouncy.

[Producer] So then now, that just becomes a blow dryer.

[blow dryer blows air]

Is that it?

[upbeat music]

All right.

I'm gonna give this one, like,

I guess four stars,

because the way that the package comes together,

they did a nice job.

As far as how it feels, how it looks.

It feels expensive.

It feels well done.

Would I ever use it?

No, probably not.

It would probably be too hard,

too much work for me to figure out in the morning.

If I'm even going to curl my hair,

you better know that I'm not spending

an extra 30 minutes being like,

I'm so confused

why won't it wrap?

Yeah. That won't be me.

[upbeat music]

I like the feeling.

I don't know what you would call this,

silicone, rubbery, little guy.

See what he looks like if I take off his skin.

Huh?

Oh, look, what's happening here?

Now it's 75.

The first social network for girls who code.

ImagiCharm is a wearable accessory

designed for girls to customize

directly from their mobile phones,

using programming.

Great way for student to learn coding,

plus they get to wear the charm.

Five stars from Dena.

Look at what she wrote for the caption here.

Easy Coding Fun!

Exclamation point.

I cannot, this is definitely the company

writing this as a comment.

My nine-year-old figured it out very quickly

and then got bored of it.

She only played with it for a few days.

Two stars.

[Producer] And then those animations up here.

I'm sorry, you had to learn how to do all this?

[Producer] I did. Just for this video.

[Producer] Yes.

Oh no.

I don't know, man.

I know nothing about coding.

A watermelon getting eaten, piece by piece,

like my brain is right now.

[upbeat music]

You know, at least they got their app working and stuff.

I'm gonna give it a three out of five.

Maybe some little girl out there really does

want to use that piece of [beep].

[upbeat music]

Well, it's a high frequency skin therapy wand

with six infusion applications.

Yep.

That's what it says on the box.

Need support?

Stop.

[Producer] [indistinct]

Oh, it's a high-frequency device.

You know, when you see those [beep] videos

of the girls and they've got that,

like, weird clothy-looking, white thing,

and then they have this guy they usually use

for it.

Where is he?

Like this type of looking thing.

And you know they, like, go over it

and it makes a sound.

Jane Fonda uses a lot of high-frequency stuff,

and that has kept her looking amazing.

So it should keep us looking amazing.

With aging, everything likes to drop.

Right?

'Cause you're working against gravity here, okay.

And there is no really working against gravity.

Okay, so what this does,

I guess, is it takes all the little,

like, fat pockets and, what's it called?

Like your muscle pockets, these ones.

It's supposed to help, like, stimulating

all the pads in your face to kind of stay

where they are, in a way.

Yeah.

I don't really know if it works,

but all the Instagram girls love this [beep],

and Jane Fonda.

Oh, for the scalp,

to energize the hair follicles.

Oh, promotes blood circulation.

I would use this.

I've been trying to grow this [beep] hair out

for such a good minute.

And it just keeps staying

at this godforsaken middle length!

High frequency sessions energize and oxygenate

the skin to increase cellular activity.

With regular use, you'll notice the reduced appearance

of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

The Y shape is used for the neck

and the arms and legs,

or other areas that,

are you ready for this?

That it can be put in between.

Come on!

But honestly, I would really like to work

on this double chin I've been seeing for the past few months

and this, I feel like it's happening for it.

Right?

[Producer] How much would you guess that device is?

I'm assuming it's in the 200 price range, yeah.

[Producer] 43 bucks.

What?

All right, well, now we know it definitely doesn't work.

Yes, you want to buy this.

I used to work in a spa and used a medical grade

high-frequency machine.

And this is the same quality.

For $45.

Must have.

Five stars from JJ Nice.

I bought it once.

Two pieces didn't work,

I returned it and got a new one.

One of those same two pieces still doesn't work.

One star from Chestermaniac.

[upbeat music]

Yeah, I haven't used this, but you know,

I'm gonna give this one a good, full five stars.

Okay?

It probably works, you know, ish.

And I think people should use it

because why would you have to go spend

$1,000 a session, just to get some [beep]

15 minute, high-frequency on your face?

Who has the money to keep up with that?

No, no one's doing that.

That's too much work.

I probably wouldn't use this,

also a little bit too much work for me,

but I'm gonna have to get those fat pads

to stay up some way.

I am a gadget bitch.

I love gadgets.

I love fun things to try and see if they work,

see if they don't,

so, I had lot of fun.

But I would say

if you're going Christmas shopping,

do not buy any of these things.

If you're gonna get them,

get a gift receipt.
