We Tested Amazon Beauty Products

The hosts pivot from failed one-star product searches to testing budget-friendly beauty items from Amazon Haul, positioning affordable skincare and makeup as a low-cost, beginner-friendly entry point into self-care. Their standout wins include a surprisingly effective face-washing brush and a microneedling tool, while Korean skincare proves reliable across masks, serums, and SPF, though nothing earns top marks overall. Along the way, they hit on relatable pitfalls—white-cast sunscreen, a brow gel that turns brows blue, and clumsy blush placement—while sparking genuine conversations about sun protection habits, snail mucin sourcing, and why self-care isn’t marketed to men. The segment wraps with overall ratings of 5 to 6 out of 10, recommending these products as a fun, social experiment to try with friends rather than a revolutionary routine.

• ▶ 0:00 Amazon stopped allowing one-star product searches, so the hosts pivot to testing beauty items from Amazon Haul, which they describe as “cheaper and slower.”
• ▶ 0:58 The Femani face-washing brush wins them over after a slow start—it stops over-scrubbing, smells like Orange Julius, and one host declares he’s taking it home.
• ▶ 3:00 They test an $8 red light therapy device and an ice roller, with Sekoya explaining the ice roller’s main purpose is to depuff the face.
• ▶ 3:37 The LED roller is meant to “depuff” the face by addressing inflammation; red light targets anti-aging/collagen, blue light soothes inflammation, purple promotes lymphatic drainage.
• ▶ 4:45 Toning pads exfoliate with BHA/AHA, glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids; applying them causes tingling and burning on dry skin areas.
• ▶ 5:43 Spotting new age spots sparks a debate about sun protection, with inconsistent SPF habits and disagreement over mineral vs. chemical formulas.
• ▶ 6:24 They introduce the Medicube Lacto Exosome serum, describing it as the "liquid version of micro needling" and predicting it will make their faces red.
• ▶ 7:09 They demonstrate the gua sha technique, starting at the corner of the jaw and pulling back to achieve a lymphatic drainage effect.
• ▶ 7:31 A genuine question is raised about how snail goo is sourced — whether snails are crushed or people collect their trails.
• ▶ 7:54 The group attempts microneedling while joking about not reading instructions, then debate what "an appropriate amount" means and compare the sensation to "painful Pop Rocks lotion."
• ▶ 9:26 They move to K-beauty masks, including a lip mask with confusing "membrane" directions and "gooey under eye worms," with Zach declaring himself a "goo guy."
• ▶ 10:14 While relaxing, they reflect that self-care isn't marketed to men, wish more high school boys did this, and discover the mask must stay on for three to four hours.
• ▶ 11:03 The Water Fit Sun Serum is SPF 50+ and PA++++, and the tester deliberately applies it to lips because lips burn easily.
• ▶ 11:42 The white cast is tolerable (barely noticeable), but at ▶ 11:59 the "for all skin types" claim is where the product failed.
• ▶ 12:02 The segment transitions to a "glass skin" no-makeup look using brow gel, liquid blush, and mascara.
• ▶ 12:27 The brow gel is white instead of clear, contradicting its "invisible finish" claim, leaving their brows looking white or even blue-tinted.
• ▶ 14:15 Using liquid blush and bronzer leads to placement struggles: Zach puts blush on an odd spot, then bronzer on the tip of his nose, earning comparisons to a Puffs commercial kid and a "punched" look.
• ▶ 16:06 They test Lash Princess mascara; Zach dislikes the wand, and they demonstrate a hack: hold the wand under your eye with a mirror below to avoid opening the eye wide.
• ▶ 16:50 Hosts found makeup fun and beginner-friendly, recommending affordable Amazon products as a low-cost entry point for beauty beginners.
• ▶ 17:06 Overall products rated 5–6 out of 10; Korean skincare was reliable, but nothing blew them away.
• ▶ 17:25 Favorite standouts included “Julius,” the face wash, and a micro needling tool; they encouraged viewers to try products with friends.
