00:00So today I'm putting on a full face of makeup with whatever is in the contents of this box.
00:09I have no idea what is in this. It could be bugs. It could be dirt. It could be food.
00:19Candy! Oh, okay. We've got these sparkles. I love the little stars there inside. So it's
00:24got marshmallows. Maybe if I had a blowtorch, I could get some s'more action, get the liquid
00:30out of here to get some highlighter. Rock handy. Handy buttons. I don't know what I'm going
00:35to do with this. I want to eat it. Gumdrops. Fun fact, I hate gumdrops too. Oh, and they
00:41gave me one container of primer. I'm not sure what the hell that's going to be. I have like
00:47a kind of idea of how this could look really cool, but knowing me, I can't do that. So
00:53normally you start off with your highlight and contour. So I think that chocolate is
00:58my best bet for the contour here. What if I just rub it on my face? Okay, I'll use this
01:06lovely marshmallow blending poof. I'm going to go for it. First I'm going to do the primer.
01:11I think maybe I'm going to use the marshmallow to apply the primer. I think out of all the
01:17things on or in this box, the thing that I know least about is primer. That's not doing
01:25what I think it should be doing. Hopefully this primer actually helps the sprinkle thing
01:32stick to my lips better. Okay, this has been too bad. As cool as it looks, I probably would
01:41wear this. Maybe we can use these red sprinkles as like a little bit of rouge. Oh, look at that.
01:56Hey! I look like a drunk candy cane. I'm doing the Katy Perry California Girls look from her music video.
02:03Clearly the resemblance is striking. And this look would not be complete without a sassy lip to finish it off.
02:18It feels really uncomfortable. Try again. A winner don't quit on themselves. All right, screw it. All going to be
02:30all of this. All of it. I'm going to fricking contour it up too. Look at that. I chose red
02:37because it is flirty, fierce,
02:42and fiery. Considering what was given to me, I think I did pretty good. I didn't get that creative.
02:51I just basically put sprinkles all over my face. I think this is it. This is finished. I have a
02:58complete look.
02:59I have my lips, my cheeks, my eyes. The only thing I don't have is my pride anymore. But until
03:08next time,
03:09this has been Beauty in a Snap. Or not. I'm done. I quit.
