See Snapchat's New Lenses On Your Favorite Geeky Celebs

Snapchat's released a pretty big update today. The inclusion of Lenses, extra Replays, and Trophies are now available to users of the disappearing photo and video app. Numerous playbacks of snaps represent the company's first stab at a user-supported business model.
