- I don't really understand where she puts it.
Just here?
Oh this is like, on my eyebrow.
Do I look more awake in one eye?
Hello I'm Chloe and welcome to Bizarre Beauty
the show where I try weird internet products
so you don't have to.
(upbeat music)
Meghan Markle, she went over to England
I came over to America, that's not exactly how it happened.
Anyway, everyone seems super fascinated by her
like they watch her every move
from when she first started dating Harry to now.
What better way to celebrate America's sweetheart
I'm not sure if that's what you'd call her but whatever
than to try out some of her favorite products.
Now I realize this episode isn't about weird beauty
so maybe I shouldn't be sat on this set
and maybe I shouldn't have said the words Bizarre Beauty
but hey we're here so we're doing it.
You know what?
It's bizarre how normal these products are.
No matter what you think of Meghan
she is a bit of a style icon and she's fricking gorgeous
so I'm pretty sure people are very interested
to know what the hell she puts on her face.
So I scoured the internet to find out
what Meghan Markle uses
or what her stylists have used on her,
what her make-up artists have used on her
and I chose three products to try out.
First up, we have Oribe
Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray.
In an interview with Birch Box
Meghan told them that her hair artist on the set of Suits
used this texturizing spray when her hair
felt a little weighted down.
They would have her flip her hair over
spray on the spray and her hair
would immediately have bounce.
Next up we have a classic
anyone who is anyone knows what this is.
I didn't know what this was but apparently
it's very famous and everyone swears by it.
They're eyelash curlers by a specific
Japanese company, Shu Uemura.
Apologies if that's wrong.
They're actually kind of hard to get hold of
I had to go all over the internet for these.
I finally bought them from eBay
and I just hope to God they're genuine
because even the ones on Amazon
everyone was saying were fake.
So these are something that are faked a lot.
Meghan told Beauty Banter that she loves these
because it makes you look instantly awake.
Last but not least we have mascara by Dior.
Fancy, too fancy for me so I'm pretty excited to try this.
This is Dior Iconic Mascara.
I've definitely heard of this stuff before
I think it's supposed to be pretty good.
Meghan told Allure this is her favorite mascara, favorite.
I bought the waterproof kind because I just did
but she doesn't actually specify which one she uses.
So now it's time to try the products
now that I've shown them to you.
Do you want to see them on my face?
I hope so.
I think it's time to take off my eye make-up
since I will need a fresh set of eyes
to do the curler and the mascara.
One, two, three.
Ah, got tiny little eyes now.
It's weird having just my eye make-up off.
Also I just realized I didn't need to take it off yet
because I'm doing hair stuff first, but whatever.
Okay so first up we have Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray
and I might have said Oribe wrong, maybe it's Oribe.
They come in two different sizes
this is actually the small version 'cause we're cheap.
It says on the back, shake, spray where you want volume,
style to desire finish, what?
Style to desired finish and hold.
A brilliant alternative to dry shampoo.
I'm obsessed with dry shampoo
so I want to see what kind of
brilliant alternative they have
because I don't know if I can be changed.
I do like the fact that it gives you volume, hold
and it's a dry shampoo, that's like three things in one.
I'm gonna do it the way Meghan said
which is to flip your hair forward and spray up like that
and then if that doesn't do much
then I'll spray it in my roots just to see what that does.
Shake it up, spray, how does it spray?
Oh, okay.
I didn't know if it was powder or not, it's not powder
but it's a little bit sticky.
Oh it smells good, oh that's good.
Sometimes they smell horrible.
This smells expensive.
I don't really understand where she puts it.
Just here?
Now bear in mind this is also kind of a hairspray
so I think this is gonna make my hair stiff.
Do I have giant locks?
Oh yeah, look, there's some volume on the sides.
I mean, it doesn't feel heavy which is nice.
I'm just gonna do my own thing a little bit.
Oh, okay, that's sticky.
Don't know if I should have put that much in.
I think I have big hair now.
I don't understand how it's an alternative
to dry shampoo though because it's sticky and wet.
I don't really understand how it's gonna dry up oil.
It's definitely given me volume, like 100%.
I wonder how long it'll last
but for a short period of time, she's on a show
and she can get her hair sprayed every two seconds
so I don't know if she would need it to work
as much as the average Joe.
But I'm not against it.
Meghan, thumbs up to you.
It is expensive though, $22 just for this.
Next up we have the supposedly amazing eyelash curlers.
I don't understand how these can be so much better
than normal eyelash curlers
because they look like regular eyelash curlers.
Oh you get an extra band, okay, that's cool.
These are also expensive for eyelash curlers
'cause they're $23 where as I'd usually pay like seven.
I don't know what to say.
They just look like regular eyelash curlers
but they have the little thing engraved.
I'm gonna do one eye and we'll just compare the difference.
I think that's the way to go.
Here is my eye before, you can see my eyelashes.
And now, I don't know how long you're supposed to
hold them down, is there any instructions?
The unique curved design allows it to fit various eye shapes
and prevents it from pinching the skin.
The shape of the silicone pad gives an elongated
sweeping curl instead of a harsh crimped look.
So I guess that's the thing that's supposed to be different
is so it's a little more engineered
than a regular eyelash curler.
All right, open the curler,
position near the root of the lashes,
squeeze curler gently onto the lashes,
hold in place for several seconds.
Repeat several times, I didn't know you did that.
Repeat several times in an outward and upward direction
to achieve desired curl.
So you kind of like keep going out.
Start at the base, I always feel like
I'm gonna grab my eye ball but squeeze,
hold for several seconds.
That's doing a little bit, slightly further out.
Is it doing anything?
Okay one more time.
Right at the edge, right at the tips.
I think I'm gonna be able to tell more
when I have mascara on which I'm about to do.
Oh look, a nice indent.
Oh okay I can see it a little more now.
Do I look more awake in one eye?
It made my eye water, this is going well.
I think it's also partly that my eyelashes
are already quite curled so it's just probably
not good for my particular eyes.
This moves us on to the mascara
and we'll see the difference between the two eyelashes then.
So this is Diorshow Iconic.
I feel like this has been around for a while
it's sort of like a standard in what is good mascara.
I got Extreme Noir 'cause I like black eyelashes.
Very pretty, it looks expensive.
It's actually not that expensive though.
I was expecting this to be like 60 bucks
just 'cause I feel like Dior I feel like
is really expensive usually.
Okay, so it's not like the traditional spoolie,
it's a little different.
These ones are like more, they tend to work better
so that's exciting.
Maybe the one that hasn't been curled first
just to see how it would look on an uncurled eyelash.
Also if anyone complains about how I put mascara on
just go away because I do it weird, I know.
Oh this is like, on my eyebrow.
This is like immediate length.
Wow, this is really good!
Usually new mascara on me clumps like crazy
but this is not clumping so much
well actually it kind of is now
'cause I'm going over it too many times.
It doesn't give me much volume.
It's just giving me length but I do like it
it's giving me really long eyelashes.
Let's see what it's like on the bottom lash.
Yeah, for a first time application, this is fricking good.
I am not used to it being that easy.
Now I'm gonna do the curled one.
I still have a dent here.
It's kind of harder to get the mascara on this one
'cause it's curled more.
I don't think the curler has done much, sadly.
But the mascara, damn.
I've got big hair and long eyelashes, I'm Meghan Markle.
All right so texturizing spray, really liked it
it does leave a little bit of residue in your hair
but in general, very, very good.
Eyelash curler, I can't really see a ton of difference.
I don't really understand why everyone
is so obsessed with it or it just doesn't work for my eyes.
Mascara, brilliant, love it, doesn't clump,
doesn't give you much volume but if you're just looking
for length, it's so good.
Considering Meghan did used to be on a T.V. show
and now is a member of The Royal Family
I'm actually surprised by how cheap these items are.
I was expecting them to be like super high-end
like unattainable but this is all within my price range
if I was really feeling like buying it.
If you wanna look like a member of The Royal Family
here is your starter kit, get on it.
So that's about all from me.
Join me next time, maybe I'll try some more celeb products
or I'll try some weird internet products.
Okay, bye!
