The YouTuber said she was excited to share the SKIMS shapewear from its new Shapewear Shop.
She then tried on several different items from Kim Kardashian's viral brand.
Barely-there high waist brief
Lauren described the material of the SKIMS Barely There High Waist Brief as "light and breathable."
"I got some room," she added. "I even noticed that on the sides, here, it does have that silicone gripping to keep the briefs in place."
She said that she loved the cocoa-colored briefs in the size 2XL as her first impression.
The influencer also said the compression of the underwear is "super light," meaning it doesn't cinch the waist too much.
"But it's doing enough," Lauren said.
She noted that the back of the briefs are "a bit seethrough."

Naked scoop bra
Lauren paired the briefs with a SKIMS Naked Scoop Bra.
"I love this bra," she added.
She said she purchased the bra in the same size as the briefs, being a 2XL.
Cropped leggings
As she put the SKIMS Barely There cropped leggings on to show how they fit, she said "I'm already loving these."
She took some time out to look in the mirror in admiration of the fit of the leggings before mentioning that the leggings are see-through in the back.
In the video, Lauren said the high waist leggings that were cropped around her calf "feel so good on.";
She said the size 2xl she got the leggings in was a perfect fit.
"It's ultra-light so if you want double the compression, wear the briefs and the cropped leggings together," Lauren said.
"Kim K, you did it with this one, sis."
Arm shaper
The fashion influencer said the SKIMS Barely There open bust arm shaper is put on in a pull-over method.
She admitted that she was skeptical when she first saw the arm-shaping piece because of the fact that wearers are expected to pull it over their heads.
Once she got it on, she said it felt good then she went on to add that it felt "real good."
Lauren said the open-bust item has a strap that sits right below the breast area.
She also restated the SKIMS recently dropped the new shapewear line that the arm shaper is a part of.
"And it's doing its job," she said after confessing that she doesn't like her arms.
Lauren said the arm shapers that she got in a size 2XL give her the confidence to wear different tops than she normally would.
She said she's going to be wearing different tops and dresses "now that I have some compression in my arm area."
"If you wish to, you could go up a size," Lauren added. "It's okay, it's perfect, it's freeing. I can do a bunch of moving in it."
She said that she could probably even work out in it and said the SKIMS arm shaper is going to be a "holy grail" for her.
Seamless sculpting collection
When it comes to the SKIMS Seamless Sculpting Collection, she said she did size up in those items.
"Because of its strong support, I know a 2x/3x wasn't going to do," She mentioned.
