1
- Hello friends and welcome to another video.
2
This week I'm gonna be getting a Hollywood contouring facial.
3
That's right, Daddy Bezos is gonna have to make some room in his space phallus 'cause I'm about to be contoured to the gods and back.
4
Now, the past couple of years have been kind of, well, you know, and like many of us, I have chosen buying skincare products and devices as a source of stress relief.
5
I've got a gua sha, I've got a microcurrent thingy, I've got an ice contouring cube.
6
Still not sure if they're doing much, but I like 'em.
7
- I also have a mask for my hoo-has.
8
24 karat breast masks.
9
- I got this skincare one for $500.
10
I honestly don't even really know what it does.
11
- And while I was researching this bizarre skin gym where you basically get professionally slapped for hundreds of dollars, I stumbled upon what I now call the skincare battles of 2019, a series of dueling videos between Refinery29 and Beauty Insider where they sent their producers to ever increasing levels of fancy salons to get luxurious facials, like the gemstone facial, the three hour facial, the Rihanna facial, the 16 step facial, the $1,000 facial, the organic facial, another $1,000 facial, the scary spatula facial, the bubble facial, the rainbow facial, the aforementioned workout facial, the power washing facial, whatever this one is, the foot facial, the golden facial.
12
I really wanna do this one.
13
The Singaporean facial. I also wanna do this one.
14
The VS Angel facial.
15
I wanted to do this one but it looks like it doesn't exist anymore.
16
And on and on and on.
17
- How's in going in there, Nico?
18
- I'm good.
19
- Now we can bounce things off of your face.
20
- And after all of this, I thought, why is my face so un-facialed?
21
Don't answer that.
22
But why can't I also have boujee skincare treatments done to my face?
23
I want my face to be rubbed also.
24
And so I decided to pursue boujee skincare treatment and settled on a facial that I wanted to also get: the $450 contouring facial celebrities swear by, which features both fanciness and many odd looking devices.
25
So let's try to get it.
26
Now this particular facial is done by Biba de Sousa, a celebrity esthetician and skincare guru who has had A-list celebrity clients like Miley Cyrus, Emily Blunt and Billie Eilish swear by her work.
27
During the pandemic, when she had to shut down her practice, she pivoted her focus from skincare services to launching a line of luxury skincare products.
28
So for now, she only really does this facial for her A-list clients, but after asking super nicely and explaining to her my fancy facial envy, she was willing to squeeze us in at her top secret studio in West Hollywood.
29
So when we were in LA a couple of months ago, we dropped by.
30
I feel dry. Now my skin actually wasn't loving the dramatic transition from Raleigh to dry LA.
31
LA dried me out.
32
- Dude, you should see my hair.
33
- I don't really get facials regularly, let alone $450 contouring celebrity facials.
34
I gotta take my clothes off.
35
- Are you naked?
36
- A little bit.
37
- Half naked? - Half naked.
38
- Top naked.
39
- Yes. So besides us just being able to see what a service like this is actually like...
40
I look like an egg.
41
Like I just look like an egg.
42
- I think you're gonna become an egg right now.
43
- Maybe Biba could also help me overcome some of the SpongeBob at Sandy's house level dryness that was occurring on my face.
44
- Water.
45
- Yeah. - Here I am.
46
- Sorry, Biba.
47
We've made like an obstacle course for you specifically.
48
- That's okay. Well, hello everybody. I'm Biba de Sousa.
49
I am an aesthetician.
50
- Hi, Biba.
51
- Hi. I am going to demonstrate my Meta Facial that I trademarked a couple years.
52
- Now Biba considers this her kitchen sink facial, which is meant to address the entire spectrum of skin concerns that a client may have.
53
- So I am going to just take a look at your skin.
54
- I have to tell you, Biba, I feel a little dry.
55
- I can say yay yay yay yay yay.
56
But you're not dry, you're dehydrated.
57
You have oily skin and you have very delicate skin, very prone to redness, so I would say that you're not hydrating properly.
58
Just bear with me and I'll fix it.
59
- All right. We'll fix it.
60
- We're fixin' it.
61
- Also we have a puppy here.
62
- We have puppy. This is Kiki.
63
- Okay.
64
- Hi, Kiki.
65
- Not part of the treatment, but very pleasant.
66
- She's so cute.
67
I would've been fine with Kiki doubling as a weighted blanket.
68
Oh my god. - Oh my god.
69
- Actually, I love it.
70
But for the purposes of the treatment, we decided to go dog-less.
71
Hi. Now Biba started off the treatment by cleansing my face, which is pretty standard procedure.
72
- You're really well maintained.
73
- Oh, thank you.
74
I don't really know what I'm doing, but I try.
75
- Right, right. You're succeeding.
76
Your skin looks good, it's just a little dehydrated.
77
- But she was like painting the cleanser on my face with a super soft paint brush, which was a first for me.
78
I like this brush. - Thank you.
79
- I'm into the brush.
80
And then, before applying any more products, she smothered me with an aromatic towel with lavender oil on it.
81
Oh yeah. I like lavender oil. - Mm-hm.
82
- I've decided just now. - She's a talker.
83
- I'm like literally a talking towel.
84
- Yeah.
85
- Now, we're going to do our lymphatic drainage.
86
- Great. Now lymphatic drainage is kind of a big focus of Biba's Meta Facial.
87
- So I'm brushing on a cream that is going to allow us to glide over your skin.
88
- Yeah, it feels pretty thick.
89
It's definitely part of the contouring element as it's supposed to help de-bloat your face.
90
- So here, we're gonna start right here.
91
- Whoa.
92
- And we're gonna start opening your lymph nodes.
93
- Whoa. Okay, brief science time.
94
The lymphatic system is a bodily process, complimentary to your circulatory system, that clears away infection, keeps your fluids in balance, removes cellular waste and creates a fluid known as lymph.
95
- And it doesn't have a pump, so how the lymph moves is through movement, breathing, exercise and massage.
96
So this is a mechanical lymphatic drainage.
97
- So the idea is that if you have swelling due to an excess amount of lymph or a lymph node blockage, Biba can use this suction machine to basically lift the lymph up and push it towards different collection ports in the body so it can drain.
98
- And it's going to remove the puffiness from the facial area and it feels really, really good.
99
- Sorry if that's wrong.
100
I haven't taken biology since 2007.
101
- Saf, can you feel that every time it pulsates?
102
- It feels so crazy.
103
It feels like, like tiny like fire cupping, like it's, like, lifting my face up.
104
- Mm-hm.
105
- I was gonna say it's like a chin breast pump kind of. - It's certainly suckin' it out.
106
- Oh my god, the breast pump. I don't know.
107
- Overall, even though it was kind of a foreign sensation, I thought the lymphatic sucker actually felt really good.
108
- You're a perfect candidate for this because you came dehydrated.
109
- Oh, great. Well good thing.
110
Good thing I didn't drink enough water. Good thing.
111
- Well. - Well.
112
- Well. - I know it was meant to be moving lymph around, but my favorite part of it was just the feeling of like tension relief.
113
- Yeah, you can see this side is already flatter.
114
- I'm just an egg getting sucked.
115
- That's it, Safiya.
116
- Safiya often feels like an egg.
117
- As it was kind of lifting parts of my skin up that never really gets stretched.
118
- It feels good, right?
119
- It feels so good around the eye.
120
It feels like you're, like, lifting my eyeball up.
121
Especially with the little detail sucker that she used around the crevices of my face.
122
How are we doing on the sucking front?
123
Are we still suckin'?
124
- No. So we're going to switch.
125
I'm going to just change my gloves and we're going to do the gua sha.
126
- I feel pretty drained.
127
- I'm feeling I want my skin sucked off my face, too. Okay, how do I sneak in front of that machine?
128
- Oops, I've fallen in front of the lymphatic drainage machine and I can't get up.
129
The dog is sleeping on me and I can't get up. So the next step was the gua sha massage.
130
- All righty, so this is the gua sha board.
131
This is one of the shapes that are out there.
132
- Now I've heard of gua sha before.
133
It's a traditional Chinese medicine that has become very popular on TikTok.
134
It feels nice and cool.
135
Did you have it in the fridge?
136
- Nope.
137
- Oh, it was just naturally cold?
138
- It's just the rose quartz.
139
- And I think originally was meant to improve ailments by stimulating key pressure points on the face and body.
140
- You see, I'm not like applying like a hard pressure because your skin will get bruised.
141
- It has a wide range of applications, but for the purposes of this facial and for the purposes of most TikTokers, it was meant to help finish what the lymphatic pump had started and reduce inflammation in the face.
142
- Basically, we're going to follow certain meridians.
143
Not to bore people, we're just like sweeping towards the outer face and you see we've just drained that fluid and now we're continuing to drain to drain the fluid.
144
- As well as help smooth and unravel any fascia crinkling.
145
Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles.
146
- You know that silver skin on the meat?
147
- Yeah. Oh, yeah. - That's fascia.
148
- On meat. Mm.
149
And the logic here is that your fascia can crinkle, or bunch, so the gua sha can help iron it out like wrinkles on a shirt.
150
- Fascia works like, kind of like venetian blinds.
151
It starts to like sag and the fascia, like, crinkles, right?
152
So you can do a lot of lifting.
153
- After holstering her gua sha, Biba doubled down by going in with a general fascia muscle massage.
154
- There's a big muscle here, right here.
155
It, like, looks literally like a bib.
156
- Aiming to loosen up some of the bigger muscles that can cause some of that crinkling we mentioned.
157
- Do you feel it?
158
- Whatever's happening, I like, so I think maybe yes, I can feel it.
159
And after trying to lengthen out the fascia of the platysma muscle, she moved on to my jaw.
160
- The strongest muscle on our body is said to be masseter muscle, which is the chewing muscle, right?
161
And this is where actually the tension happens.
162
And, oh yeah, here.
163
- Yeah.
164
After starting off pretty nice and gentle with the gua sha and the neck lengthening...
165
Ah, ah. Ah. - I'm not gonna hurt you, but I'm just going to stretch it a little because it's going to feel better.
166
- The jaw demanded some serious ass kicking and Biba seemed to revel in trying to help me work out my kinks.
167
Whoa, oh, ah.
168
- Okay, so now we know you have a tense jaw muscle.
169
- Whoa. - It's okay.
170
- That was crazy. - It's okay.
171
- Oh. On the jaw, nose, cheeks, you name it.
172
I have like American Girl doll teeth right now.
173
And after a fair amount of massaging and stretching...
174
Egg vibes only increase. It was time for us to do a brief extractions intermission before our grand finale.
175
All right, Ty, I don't think I can actually hold this while this is happening.
176
Now I do notoriously have a bit of poor congestion/blackheads on my nose.
177
- I'm only going to just pick up some of them, like you just have some superficial clogging.
178
- So Biba wanted to see if she could squeeze a few of them out.
179
Ah Yeah. - I'm so sorry.
180
- No, it's okay. It's good.
181
I always prefer to be on the giving end of this treatment rather than the receiving end of it.
182
- Yeah, I've actually only ever had Saf do this to me. - But I think Biba enjoyed herself.
183
- Oh, this is so satisfying.
184
- Sorry if you guys can't see much.
185
We'll figure out how to film it better for next time.
186
- So, we're going to freshen up your skin with a toner. - Great.
187
- I'm gonna take this off. - Whoa!
188
- It's thyme, basil.
189
- Basil, yep. - Mm-hm.
190
- I smell basil.
191
I'm becoming one with a caprese.
192
That that was a stupid joke. - That's probably her best joke yet.
193
- She also added a lip moisturizer.
194
- I'm just going to apply some of the lip treatment.
195
- Yeah, I need that.
196
Before moving on to the microcurrent machine.
197
- So we're going to now get into the beautifying.
198
- Oh, now? - Now. - What was happening before?
199
Those were draining.
200
The draining. - The draining.
201
That was like the prep.
202
- Now micro current devices have become pretty popular nowadays as well.
203
I have a small one at home myself, but Biba's is the real deal, big bad version.
204
- We're gonna just do the lifting part here.
205
- Mm.
206
- And now we have to keep for like 16 counts.
207
- And the idea behind microcurrent treatments is that they administer low levels of electrical currents to your facial muscles to help lift, reposition and tone them.
208
- Blink twice if you can feel anything, Saf.
209
- Mm-mm. No, I don't feel anything.
210
Should I feel something? - Mm-mm.
211
- Biba specifically mentions 32 different facial muscles that she needs to pay attention to in her Meta Facial.
212
How do you feel about Facebook moving in on your branding?
213
- Ah, ah, ah, I trademarked it first.
214
- They can have the Metaverse but not the Meta Facial? - Yeah.
215
- But besides lifting, microcurrent treatments are also supposed to help circulation in the face as well as boost collagen and elastin production.
216
- This is also an opportunity for Biba to pin Safiya's mouth shut.
217
- Mm.
218
Mm-hm. Hm. Though I started off not being able to feel much, there were a couple more intense zaps in sensitive areas that felt like a little buzzing to me.
219
Mm, I feel that one, too.
220
A little vibrating almost.
221
- Mm-hm.
222
Just like a little pulsing. - Yeah.
223
And after a round with the two pronged microcurrent prods, we moved on to the big kahunas.
224
The one that has like the four?
225
- The fork. You're getting the forks.
226
- Yeah! - I just have to assemble it.
227
- Does it look ominous? - Yeah, it does.
228
It looks great.
229
- I asked Biba specifically for the fork because I saw the fork.
230
I contemplated the fork.
231
I wanted the fork and now I'm getting the fork and I'm very excited.
232
These larger ones are obviously pretty similar to the other prods.
233
Oh. - So they're coming.
234
- Oh. - So we're just going to grab this muscle.
235
- Oh. - Feels nice?
236
- Yeah. But I think they're just a bit more intense.
237
Ooh yeah, I can feel it.
238
And perhaps better at grabbing larger bits of the facial muscles.
239
- It looks like the thing that hatches the eggs in Jurassic Park.
240
- I love Jurassic Park. I'm just like so surprised that we already did don't have it.
241
- Dinosaurs? Yes.
242
- Same, Biba. Same.
243
- We all thought 2022 was gonna be different.
244
- I just thought the forks looked cool.
245
- You forked out.
246
- I got forked.
247
- You got forked.
248
Okay, so let me just...
249
- And once we were done with the microcurrent treatment...
250
- I think that, I'm not trying to say that one session's all you need, but I think that Safiya is looking quite radiant right now.
251
- I think so, too.
252
- Oh thanks, guys.
253
- It was time to slather some SPF on me and exit the Meta Facial-verse.
254
So are we done, Biba?
255
- We're done. - Oh my god.
256
I have risen.
257
- Let me see.
258
It looks like a different face, right?
259
- I think you look good, Saf.
260
- It looks so good.
261
It's so calm.
262
- Now overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my celebrity contouring facial.
263
It was very fun to actually experience these treatments that I'd seen so much about online.
264
I just got forked by Biba.
265
In terms of sensation, my favorite parts were definitely the chin breast pump, which felt weirdly relaxing, and the fascia massage.
266
Ah! Which was somewhat painful but in a good way, Like Biba was really getting into the nitty gritty.
267
I feel good overall.
268
I feel super massaged.
269
I feel like rubbed and just, like, drained.
270
I'm somewhat naked so I have to get dressed and then see how my face looks.
271
And in terms of visual impact.
272
All right, I'm dressed and alive.
273
I do think I see a little bit of a difference with the de-puffing and rehydrating.
274
Obviously you can't really have huge effects in just one visit, but I think me coming in off of traveling and being dry gave us something to work with.
275
A good starting point, if you will.
276
One day later.
277
Do I look drained?
278
- You do kind of, actually.
279
- Or did I already pump all the fluids back into the face?
280
- Re-lymph?
281
- Yeah. But overall, visual effects aside, I felt some serious stress relief after letting expert Biba work her magic.
282
I feel very, you said trance-like.
283
I feel trance-like.
284
- Right, right, right.
285
- I feel a little bit like floating.
286
- Right. - Floating through the air.
287
- Astral planing?
288
- No, it's called the alpha state.
289
- Oh.
290
- Like you just get into deep relaxation, so it's alpha.
291
- Dude, I'm in the alpha state right now.
292
So after being contoured to the gods and back, I opt not to get on the space penis with Daddy Bezos, but instead to go to a remote island with Biba and clone some dinosaurs.
293
I don't know, Biba, I think your take that we should have Jurassic Park by now is a very good take.
294
- Yeah. We all agree.
295
- We all agree.
296
- Everyone in the room was just nodding.
297
- Yeah, we should have that.
298
Yeah. - Yeah.
299
You know what I would die to see? Pterodactyls.
300
- Yeah.
301
Dude, same. - The flying guys?
302
- I would die if I saw it.
303
I mean die in a good way. - Yeah.
304
- I would have died and went to heaven.
305
- So thanks so much to Biba for letting us come by and film at her mystery location.
306
Thank you so much, Biba.
307
This was so fun.
308
I feel- - You're very welcome.
309
- So very massaged and that was the goal, so.
310
- And you got forked. - Yeah, and I got forked.
311
- Forked by Biba.
312
- I need a t-shirt that says that.
313
- That could be some merch, Biba.
314
Forked by Biba.
315
- Thank you guys so much for watching.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
