Oh, that hurt. Hey guys, welcome to or welcome back to my channel. My name is Natalie Barnes. So for this week's video, I am doing the $500 like transformation video. I bet $500 to transform myself. So without further ado, let's get on with the video. Oh, okay. Hi guys, I look really ratchet. So it is currently— I'm starting this the night before because I want to self-tan and I have work tomorrow and I just want to get it over and done with. I'm doing a transformation video because I hate myself. In my bathroom, by the way. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to scrub my face with this to get like all the dead skin off and like the grossness, even though I just showered like 3 hours ago. And then— oh, that's gonna bother me. And then I'm cleaning my face with this. I use this like every single night, and I also have like the morning one. So yeah, I'm gonna clean it, and then I'm going to Tanner on my face and my body so I can be tan. What is the point of this? I don't know. I like to think that this helps my skin and my tan, so that's why I'm doing this. So to tan my face, I like to use this St. Tropez, the face one. Then I try not to squint my face, but that's all I do. Like, then if it shows up uneven, which it never does, I just put a little makeup over it and call it a day. But no, um, yeah, now for for my body, which— and I'm gonna change into my robe. I'm gonna do my neck because I hate when I put on foundation and I'm an idiot and got the wrong shade. Um, it's a bit dark, so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to take my mitt right here, and then I'm gonna take the St. Tropez self-tanning Purity one. So I'm just gonna do my neck because I'm too lazy and I don't want to do my whole body. Okay, I'm gonna do that really fast. I'll check back in when I'm done. Okay, so over time, basically, um, like 3 hours and you're like tan, but like the more you wait and let it like sink into the skin, the longer the tanner you will be. So usually I just like to sleep on it and then in the morning I just like rinse it off. So that's probably what I'm gonna do, but I did my whole entire body, so now I'm gonna be orange. Okay, so I'll just check in tomorrow. I don't understand how I get ugly. Uglier at night. Oh my god. Um, it's the next day. I literally look— I literally look like a boy. Like a legit boy. It's the next day. I have work today, but I also have a lash appointment. But I kind of want to straighten my hair and throw in some extensions. So— that's what I'm gonna do. Okay. This is my outfit. Big t-shirt, biker shorts, Steve Madden shoes. Put my hair extensions in. I didn't wear a lot of makeup because I have like a lash appointment, so it's kind of like stupid. Now I'm gonna go to work for a little bit. Okay, I had to run to my house like really, really quickly to let my dogs out, but I just finished work and now I'm heading to Decolash. That's where like I get my eyelashes done. So yeah. And I'll show you guys what I look like without my lashes. Okay, so that's what I look like without my lashes. Like, my lashes are really short as they are, as it is. Yeah, as it is. So yeah, I'm gonna go right now. My appointment's at 3 and it is 2:42. So yeah, I'm gonna go. My lashes look so good. I just got them done. Um, yeah, I've never in my life have gotten glasses— lashes before, and I honestly think they look so good. Like, I don't even think this is showing it up, but I'm obsessed. Like, I'm literally obsessed with these lashes. Might be a new lifestyle. Like, honestly, they look so good. Oh my God. Is it focusing? They're like so full too. It's insane. Yum! New eyelashes! I'm filming the intro and outro on like a separate day, but whatever, it's fine. Anyways guys, I hope you guys like the video.
