The video is a review of questionable beauty hacks from Instagram videos. The host, Sarah Revolta, tests out a series of hacks, including a DIY armpit lightening mask with honey and baking soda, a potato and honey under-eye treatment, and a nose contouring hack with a spoon and tweezers. She also tries a hair hack where she uses a vacuum cleaner to create a ponytail. The host finds that while some of the hacks may have had an effect, the results were not worth the effort or potential mess. She concludes that the reason for the prevalence of these hacks on Instagram is the platform's limitations, such as the lack of visible video titles and the inability to skip or rewind videos. She suggests that Instagram could improve by adding a progress bar and encourages viewers to avoid potentially harmful hacks like applying black pepper under the eyes.
