From The Queen Of The Party To Sleeping Beauty

After heading the party of the year and being tired as death, should you go to bed with no stops in between? No way! If you do not remove your make up, the next day your face will swell and the accumulated toxins will make you look as the girlfriend of Frankenstein.

Didn't want to scare you, but the damage could be bigger, as having some beautiful spots in your once inmaculated face, as the week goes by. That is to say that the proper thing to do is to remove your make up using the most appropiated products for that.
If you are not home, use one of those 3 in 1 towels and then moisturize with your usual cream. They won't take away all the dirtyness, still, they are a good remedy for emergencies.
On the contrary, if you are home, use all your weapons, the classic 3 step in three different products(a cleanser, a tonic, and a moisturizer), an eye and lips remover, and thermal water. First, remove the make up of your eyes and lips with the specific remover, pouring the liquid over a cotton pad; use a side for every side and another one for lips. Then, use the remover for the rest of face. If your skin is sensitive, you'd better avoid the biphasic. You can choose the ones you can clean with a tissue or the ones you clean with water, it's up to you. The next step consist of the tonic. If you use an exfoliating pad, it would take away better the rests of make up, but it can sensibilize the more sensitive skins. Spread now the moisturizer with a massage. Finally, if you feel your face uncomfortable, pour some thermal water on it, leave it for some seconds until skin absorbs it and take away the excess with a tissue.
You've surely drink lots of alcohol, so for easing sleeping, have a glass of water or a limeflower infusion. Once in bed, pour some sleeping spray over the pillow. Now you are ready to dream with your succesful night.

Falling for Kate

Not only a top model for 17 years and a style icon, now a bottled essence. The British follows the trail of Jennifer López, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, Paris Hilton, and Sarah Jessica Parker and launches her perfume, Kate Moss, created with the accompliceness of Coty.

In the words of Moss, this perfume represents her in full,as it is slight and easy to combine, no matter your look. Absolutely wearable, it moves in the range of Rock'N'Roses by Valentino or Anais Anais by Cacharel and it's destinated to become a modern classic.
Simply but attractively designed and with an affordable price, it will be another hit in her career. Rumour has it Rimmel London was going to dismiss her; at least, with this perfume, her essence will remain with us. On the other hand, she has collaborated with Topshop, designing a clothes collection inspired in his style.
