Grwm + Life Chat: Cheap Wigs, Deep Thoughts, And Stray Hairs

Hi, my name is Anna and I'm a hot mess., Hey everybody. Today'S video is completely unplanned. I was gon na put a haul up today and I filmed a haul and I was really ready to share it. But then, when I went to go check and see you know the links for the items nothing was available. In fact this is happening to me a lot right now, where I will purchase things for a haul and they'll just like sell out. I guess everyone's just shopping, their stress away., So I'm like okay. Well, if I put that up, people are gon na, be angry that you can't buy anything from it. So I was like what am I doing today that I could film. That might be interesting And I was like well. My friend Courtney is doing this amazing mermaid challenge and I promised I would give her a mermaid post, because I like to support people that I love and I love Courtney.. So my plans for today were to create this like avant-garde high fashion mermaid, with whatever I can find in my little fashion closet. I actually already kind of have that planned out and as part of it, I obviously had to do makeup and put on a wig., And I was like well maybe I'll, just film this process and it might be a hot mess and it might be amazing. But like we're here together., So I did put a base on except for this, like little stubborn butt head right, there will not allow itself to be hidden. It wants the world to know that I have had a stressed week and, ladies and gentlemen, I have, and now you know, because this little mother came out to play. Today, we're gon na be primarily using a new palette, which is also kind of fun. I just got this in the mail. I bought this myself, it's the Naked Urban Decay Ultraviolet.. Why are we using this palette? Because it's got this really pretty mint shade for this look. I'Ve not tried at all I've, not clue what I'm doing. Let'S preface this, this is not a tutorial. This is literally my hot mess makeup that you're gon na watch me do.. I wanted to use this palette because I wan na use this mint. I wan na do like a pastel variation of how Ariel's makeup's typically done, which is like a green on the lid and a purple in the crease which, when you say it sounds awful., And I just wan na, have a little side rant here. Ariel'S hair is the worst hair of any Disney princess. I just I feel like people need to know this and nobody's like hmm. You know what I want. I want a candy apple red, hair, color, it's just so beautiful.. No, nobody wants that real redheads. Don'T look like that, so I hate her hair, so instead I'm making her hair pink.'Cause. I feel like maybe that's what it was. Ariel was a little rebellious, and so she had a little bit of like a sassier hue, but it wasn't like this terrible red color that I do not like at all.. So I'm regaining her hair color just a little bit just a little bit. Please give me that artistic license. And I'm kind of tinting everything on the pastel end as well, just to kind of fall into this high-end. Ariel. Look! It'S really more! Inspired by I'm, not gon na. Look like a mermaid like, let's be real here., But I'm gon na make it work. I'M gon na make it work.. So the first thing I'm gon na do is I'm actually gon na like add some white around this area, because I think I'm gon na. I don't know, actually I don't know what I'm gon na do I'm wan na. Just let me just start with the eyes. I think I should just start with the eyes., So I'm gon na open up this palette, which I've been like looking for an excuse to open it, and I said you can only open it until it's on camera. This is how I justify buying stuff. It'S really pretty it's very sparkly and the color that I'm excited about is this lucid color, which is this lovely mint.? Now because it is so light, I know that I'm gon na have to put white down. Otherwise, it's just gon na get lost., So I'm gon na start doing the crease in all of these crazy purples to get like a really popping crease and then go in here with that lucid color.. I also think I'm gon na need some other greens from another palette, but we'll get there we'll get there together. First eye primer.. So I'm just gon na rub that in while that's setting I'm gon na do some brows.. Do I have a reddish pinkish brow? No, I do not I'm gon na just do this like warm auburn and it's called moneda. What a terrible name. Go. Do my brow right now.. I never can get my eyebrows to look like both good.. You get one. You get one eyebrow.. I feel like I'm having a `` Babe'' moment with these eyebrows, which is remember how, like the owner's, like'' That'll, do pig that'll do''. That'S how I feel. Also. I don't view that as a negative term on myself, I'm not attacking myself by saying that I just I always think of `` Babe'' when I am gon na just accept something that'll do.. So because I'm lazy - and I don't wan na dig for a brush - I'm just gon na use the brushes that are in here, which may or may not be a smart decision. But we're gon na play around with it. We'Re gon na make it happen. And I'm gon na start really with this warning, I'm gon na start with a warning to all of you. Why are you watching this Start with a warning? Just go at it.? Okay, straight up, I hate when I have a hair on my face. I hate it so much. This is exactly what? Oh god it's there. Where are you? I can feel it. I can feel it on my face, but I can't see it. Oh, you devil hair.. Where are you I'ma find you I'ma? Take you out. Now this is actually kind of the intensity I want. I don't want an extereme, it's like pastel, I'm really thinking light here. So this is actually perfect.. Now, there's this color next to it called optimize, which is like a lily lavendar, and this is a little pink right. It doesn't look purple and I really wan na be true to that. Like purple, mint, green vibe. Sorry, that's not my vibe at all, but it is for the shoot because we are pastel regal Ariel.. So I'm just gon na try and take that over and see if it makes it a little bit more purple and less pink. Yeah. So now you can already see that this already has like more of a like princessy purple to it than the other side.. So I'm just gon na go over repeat., I'm just using the same brush. I used for the pink. And I'm really just going ham.. It'S kind of I'm like resisting the urge to go full on fantasy makeup here, because I think when people do mermaids like that is the urge is like full fantasy where it's like scales up here. I'Ve done it, I've 100 % done it, where you do like the scales here and around the cheekbone.. I'M gon na do straight up glam high fashion, like we are not. We are not gon na go there, though I do want to go there. Like I'm sitting here going. Oh these pretty purples, we could contor. No, we are not contouring in a color today.. Just want you to know that I do want to do that. Maybe I will do it in the future.. These colors are working really. Well, I really like the pigmentation on them. I'M gon na go a little bit darker., So I'm gon na go with this euphoric color. I like it'cause, it's more blue, we're trending a little pink here and I wan na just bring it from the corner in giving us a little bit more. Like definition, right ?'Cause, I like eyes that are defined and I'm gon na go right here and I'm gon na stab it a little bit and then blend.. Oh my gosh, like the color once we add that blue kind of color to it, do you see how it just deepens this purpley pink color in such a magical way, And I love that these colors are just so nice and the cool thing is because they're So light I can just literally just blend them in so it's almost like my eyeshadow just disappears out, oh, which I kind of really like that vibe, it's giving.. Now what we're gon na do is I'm gon na. Take this end, but first I'm gon na put some of this Morphe white stuff. In now I have to work fast on this. I'M gon na be real. When I film stuff for TikToks, I always cheat the system I put some on and then I immediately go in with the color and the reason I do that is'cause my eyes, because they are a little hooded or whatever it gets all the way up in there And it's a hot mess, so I've got ta go right as soon as I put it.. So I take the white and I'm just gon na put it right here. Then I'm gon na keep that eye completely closed. Go in with that lucid color that I'm obsessed with. Try to move to fast, try and move fast, starting to go up into that creasey area. This looks a little hot mess. Don'T worry, I'm gon na fix it. I just haven't fixed it yet.! Oh, I love how bright that is. It'S a lot brighter and I love actually it coming down. Here.. Okay, I don't hate that I actually really love this color. Oo, she cute. So now. I definitely need to add some like darker green notes into this. It'S just too it's too pastel, so I have this Violet Voss Essentials palette and I'm really gon na just use this emerald color here and what I'm gon na do is take the same brush. I used for the lucid and I'm gon na mix it into the emerald a little bit., I'm getting like a kind of subdued version of that green. Oo see that's perfect. That is absolutely exactly what I wanted. Your girl is obsessed. Your girl is obsessed. Your girl is obsessed with what is happening to her eyes., So I'm gon na take a brush and just take the lucid and just make sure we're blending here.. So now I'm gon na do a little cleanup and see where we're at and see where I wan na go from here. Here's what I'm liking, I'm liking the color payout on both of these sides. I really like the little mermaidish vibe. It feels good, but it doesn't feel over the top. Again trying to avoid that fantasy vibe., It's kinda cute, though it's kind of fun., Okay, so I've cleaned up a little bit under the eye. I feel like this still feels a little there. We go. Just need to get that purple to feel like it belongs a little bit and what I'm doing is I'm actually just taking this and blending it into the ends of the green. So now you can see it's a little bit more seamless. It'S almost like a it's almost like a what you call it a smoky eye., Badda, bing badda boop.. Now I don't know what the hell I'm doing - now.. Yes, I do okay. So now, what I'm gon na do is clean up my foundation and do all of that stuff., I'm using the Tom Ford, 2.0 buff stick and I'm just gon na put a little bit more here underneath the eyes, and rather than blend this out with a brush Or anything else, I'm just gon na use, my fingers. People are always like. Do your foundation after I didn't feel like it.. I like this foundation when my skin is a little bit dry and because I had a long hiking today, I'm a little dehydrated. I need it so I'm just going in here and trying to cover up my baddies.. This is café a latte Nars creamy radiant concealer, just the little butt heads the butt heads gots to go. The butt heads gots to go. Who's got a flawless face, Not me, but it looks kind of like it right, now. Kind of ,'cause, I'm not a great makeup artist. I'M a mediocre one., Getting myself some brushes to do some thangs.. So I'm gon na give myself a nice soft soft look, which means I'm gon na use a mix of the satisfy blush and this x rated bleurgh blush. Both of these are from Urban Decay as well., So I'm gon na start with the pink. And them I'm gon na do the same. But I'm gon na use this little slightly orange color, which is satisfy, and that's so it's just a little bit more depth to the blush.. Now what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na set this with powder and there's a powder that I love right now. I just started using it: it's from Laura Mercier, it's the translucent powder and I'm obsessed with it. Like I hadn't used it before. I know, Seth Obrien uses it and loves it.. I got sent some started using it and now I'm hooked., So I'm just going in and powdering everything. You really need to do this with the type of foundation I use. I used a stick foundation and stick foundations. They are not gon na hold as well. If you don't powder them, so I'm powdering my whole face.. I also want that really matte. Look I wan na do this kind of almost old worldy cherubic, Ariel thing in my mind. I don't know if I'm actually going to achieve what I think I'm capable of, but I have some pretty cool ideas, so I'm just trying to like get there somehow like maybe.. So now you can see my face is a lot more matte, which is nice for what I wan na do.. Now I need to finish this, so you would think it's done. It'S not.! Actually, this little blend here you need to blend a little better girl blend.. I need to put a little bit of this purple power underneath my eyelid add some lashes. I think I'm gon na put on false lashes. I never do that because I'm terrible at them, but I'm gon na use that euphoric purple and I'm gon na go underneath here. Beautiful now, I'm gon na line it instead of using a black liner, I'm gon na use a brown liner, still liquid., I'm using this Joah I'm so fly liner. It was sent to me, I don't know where it came from, but it's brown, so I'm using it., I'm gon na go across the top and I'm just literally doing a line, I'm not doing like a wing out. And then I'm gon na go right under the Lower line as well just a little bit in. Now, I'm just gon na put some mascara on I'm gon na use this Fenty Beauty, I'm not gon na do lashes. I just I hate them. I hate lashes. I know everybody loves them so much, but I hate them. I think they're so much work they feel uncomfortable. I don't know why people like them. I'Ve, never understood why people like them. I never put them on and go. Oh, I feel so pretty I don't. I don't feel pretty at all with lashes on, I feel like they are an unnecessary evil, so I'm not gon na put myself through it today'cause, I'm worth more than that today. So I'm just gon na put some fancy mascara on. This Fenty Beauty. I think it's called full frontal is really good at getting big big lashes with, like just what you got. ♪ Open your heart to me, ♪, that's! What'S in my head right now and I can't figure out where I think I watched a whole bunch of Gap. Commercials the other day - and they were that was in one of them.. Did you know Missy Elliot and Madonna used to rep Gap? I just Gap had a time man where Gap was cool. Now it's where moms buy jeans on sale, ,'cause. We all know nobody buys anything full price at Gap and also like. Why do they have so many outlets And like who's clamoring for a Gap sweatsuit, Because every time I go into Gap outlet, it's just like whole bunch of Gap sweatsuits and I'm like who's. This demographic who's, like you, know what I can't wait to get the latest Gap sweatsuit.. I don't know who that person is, but they confuse me. They confuse me a lot.. Okay, that's actually starting to look gorg uh obsessed., So I'm gon na go in with this x rated, which is that pink color a little bit more. I just really want that pink to be like so over the top. There we go okay. So now I'm gon na put my wig on we'll do my lips last, but first let me spray myself down. Right now, I'm using setting spray, but the past three days I've been spraying myself down with so much bug spray. It'S disgusting! My entire house smells like child's bug spray that I bought and I can't get rid of the smell. I can't get rid of it.. I'M gon na put a wig on this. Wig is a hot mess. It is a wig that I don't think I've ever worn. I don't know why I haven't worn it. I'M sure I'll, remember why I haven't worn it right when I put it on ,'cause, that's usually what happens.? What I'm doing right now is braiding my bangs back, because they are terrible and I'm gon na do one braid here, one braid here, one braid here the rest I'll lob into a ponytail but they're just difficult when putting on a wig a lot of the time. So just take out the trouble. Here's a wig cap. I generally always feel like I'm sticking my head in a giant tube sock., Here's, our beauty and when I say beauty, she's gon na need some work. ,'Cause she's rough she's rough, but she does have a little bit of that orange tint to it, but it's more faded, more luxe.. I feel like this is closer to what I would want Ariel's hair, to look like, I hope in the movie. They give that girl a decent wig and they don't put her in like ultraviolet red and for all of you out there who are watching this going. Like I love Disney, I love the ultraviolet red. Don'T lie to us. Nobody needs those lies.. It was a weird time: people were making bold choices and that ugly hair color was just a bold choice.. I don't know how much work I'm gon na need to make this look natural. I don't know we'll just see together, just put it on., So I need to pull it forward. It'S like tiny. My head is so big that often times these wigs, like hurt'cause, I just have a big-ass head. Okay, It's not my fault that I was born this way. Lady Gaga told me I was on the right track.. This is the wig. She is well, she is a wig.. I think this is supposed to be centered yep., It's honestly not as bad as I thought it would be, but it's bad it's bad., So I'm gon na go try to fix it. A little bit. I'ma not do this on camera'cause. It might involve tears and the eventual destruction of this wig. That'S also possible too gim me a little bit, I'ma be back., So this is the end result. I basically just re parted the hair to a side part and then straightened out the wig. It'S a little bit rough still, but I think it'll look good in pictures and then I added this little sea urchin flower nod to Ariel and hopefully hopefully it looks great in pictures. I like it'cause. This is soft, like pinkish reddish color, which I think is much more in line with what I wish Ariel's hair color looked like instead of that nasty, bright red., I can't stop touching it ,'cause. I'Ve done so much work to get it to feel like this, and this is a synthetic wig guys which is like the hardest thing in the world to work with, but I did it I mean it worked. Ah, I'm proud of myself. This one was hard. This one was really freaking hard to fix.. Okay, now what I'm gon na do is lips., So I'm gon na do a little trick for this one. The reality is, is I want like a want, a really frosty lip, so I'm gon na take this Fenty color from last year, which is called starlet. The color's not right, I get it so what I am gon na do is take, oh god, my favorite highlight Which is Master Chrome by Face Studio? It'S a Maybelline product, it's like cheap as hell, but I love this stuff. It'S an amazing highlight every time I wear it. People ask me where I get it and it's cheap.. So all I'm gon na do is dip. My finger in here and go ham. And I love a frosted lip.. This gives me want. I want color wise and then what I do is I take a little bit of this jelly tube from Lancôme. Hello, 1990 still good guys, still good back with a vengeance, and I'm just gon na go on here and give your girl some sheen.. Oh obsessed, I'm obsessed with how I look right now, I'm also kind of into this.. I think I just like that. I have hair that covers the tattas. I'Ve always secretly wanted that.. So now what I'm gon na do is go put on my outfit and take pictures and if you wan na see how the whole thing turned out just go to my Instagram ,'cause. I will have posted it today. And'Cause it's going up the same day. I filmed all of this so yay.. So thank you so much for watching me turn myself into a pastel high glam Ariel., Okay. So it's not as high-end as I thought I would be. I have a lot of fun playing with this hair by the way, but I'm actually really proud with how it turned out. I think it looks a lot better than I thought it was gon na look, okay and didn't plan this, so I didn't know where it was going and it went somewhere kind of nice, so yay. So check out those photos. Links to everything I used are linked down below. I hope you guys have an amazing rest of your day and let me know if you wanna see more videos like this I'll check you later and peace.
