Sloan gets ready for Refinery29's version of a red carpet event.
Transcript
00:00So in one week I will be going to Refinery29's holiday party and this is our
00:05version of a giant red carpet event. It's absolutely insane. People get dressed up
00:10with costumes and with hair and makeup and personas and sometimes you're like
00:14who is that? You're like that's the IT guy. Who knew? I'm so nervous. I really want to
00:19hit it out of the ballpark this year. So I'm about to meet with Jenny, my stylist.
00:25I have this really big red carpet event coming up and one thing that I really
00:29wanted to do is like channel Lady Gaga's energy. Definitely. Lady Gaga has been
00:33killing it on the red carpet. So I'm thinking of a long black gown with a
00:38pillbox hat. I have to drink two and a half of these every single day. We've got it
00:44next to my head for reference. It's huge. This came from your trainer. Okay, what is
00:50this? Fitbit. Yeah, so you have to get up to 10,000 steps a day. So better get
00:56started. Phoenix, the instructor murdered me. She is insane. She has so much energy.
01:06So day one is over. I have no idea how I'm gonna get all this stuff done and still
01:12work full-time. I was... it's a struggle. It's a grind. So today we have B12 shot
01:20light wave therapy which I'm still kind of confused as to what that is. I'm gonna stress
01:24how much I hate this, but it's gonna be fine. Does it help with hangovers too? It
01:27does. It does. Little pinch. Here we go. One, three, pinch. Okay, that's it. Well done.
01:33All right. Bummer. And now we're going to apply the light. Here we go. So it's warm. So this is
01:40a blue light. So what the blue light will do, it will destroy the bacteria that's
01:44causing the acne in the skin. And what the red light is gonna do, it's gonna help with
01:47the inflammation of the skin. I felt very pampered. I'm not gonna lie. It's the morning
01:52of day three. I am going to get my roots touched up because look at that shit. I'm taking the
01:59escalator because my legs hurt so bad for my workout yesterday. Nothing like fresh roots,
02:06right? I know. So I couldn't figure out what this looks like and we figured out it's Cynthia
02:13Pickles from Rugrats. Oh my god, I feel like a beauty queen. I didn't keep up with my steps and
02:24I
02:24didn't drink that much water. I'm really loving this challenge. I am off to a massage, which I'm so
02:32excited about, and then I'm getting my nails done. She put like a magnesium lotion on my arms and my
02:40legs
02:40in my stomach. Just a little sweaty. I understand why people do this on a regular basis. It's so nice.
02:54I'm off to go get my nails done. I'm gonna go get some some nails because these are trash.
02:59So this is my first time getting nail extensions and I'm really excited.
03:09Just got my nails done. Finished. We did little tiny stars. It's so pretty.
03:17I was supposed to get a wax, but I decided I'm going to wax myself as a little experiment.
03:23This isn't going to go out. One, two, three. Ow! Okay. Okay, now for the good stuff.
03:32No, no, no, no, no. Oh, it didn't really work. Oh my gosh, you did make me clean. I'm so
03:38sorry.
03:39So it's the end of day five. I canceled a workout yesterday and then I canceled one again today
03:46because it is so cold. I still need to do a bunch of things.
03:53For two, reach your butt back.
03:59So yeah, this is not so glamorous. I just like don't have time for this. Like I want to go
04:07to bed.
04:08I'm exhausted. I am here with Stella Valentina, the master esthetician here,
04:13and we are doing these supernova facials.
04:33It doesn't hurt at all. Like I'm, it's just a very strange sensation.
04:38It was amazing. I understand how just one face, even one facial could be such a game changer.
04:46Feeling pretty good. These nails, my hair, amazing. It's day seven. Tomorrow is the big event.
04:51We have hair and makeup coming. I have my outfit. Grab your popcorn people. It's happening.
05:12We are finished. We are finished. It looks so cool.
05:16Show them. Show them. Show them. Show them. One more time, honey. Last time. This is perfection.
05:34I was the most nervous about the brows because I had had a bad experience.
05:39So you approve. But these are amazing. Yay. Look at them.
05:51Spicy. Hey, these nails are impossible.
05:57Thank you. Do you feel red carpet ready? I do. I feel very red carpet ready. I think my final
06:04Gaga look was so on point. It gave me a confidence that I haven't had in a while.
06:11People were screaming. People that I've never spoken to before were coming up to me.
06:16I'm waiting to get my photo taken.
06:22Going into it, I was really excited and really pumped. And I think the whole process kind of wore
06:27me down a little bit. But overall, I really enjoyed the experience, but I don't recommend it.
