The After Party

The party dictates the after party. And if the party was rockin' your eyes and face will show it in the morning. A concoction of beauty essentials will keep you looking bright and young the day after partying. Alcohol and long hours of make-up takes a toll on your skin and these are my recommendations to bring it back to life.
1)Please, take your make-up off! Recently recommended by Kim Kardashian as the best friend to any girl who loves to wear make-up, these towelettes by Neutrogena are my favorite after an all night dancing soiree. I keep them at my night table and they leave skin feeling soft and clean. (They will even take off waterproof mascara!)
2) Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Those margaritas and cosmos dehydrate your skin, a great oil-free moisturizer like Estee Lauder Day Wear with SPF 25 will keep your skin quenched for hours and hours. Described as a "silky, cushiony creme," this new formula is for all skin types.
3) Depuff those eyes! A long night out equals red eyes and puffiness. Hide those under-eye circles and soothe your eye area with the Sephora brand Instant Depuffing Roll-on Gel. I love this! It's "made with light-reflecting pigments, a single application visibly diminishes the appearance of puffiness while an extract of red vine leaf works to diminish the appearance dark circles. The roll-on applicator tip with three agitator beads stimulates drainage and microcirculation to leave eyes looking fresher and brighter."
4) Lip service ASAP. Alcohol and staying out late will also dehydrate and chap your lips. I use a great night balm by C.O. Bigelow (Bath and Body Works) and it's an 8 hour night treatment that revitalizes the most tired, party hard lips. Wear it all day after your night out.
These beauty magic makers plus an all time water fest and lots of snoozing will leave you feeling brand new and looking like you're ready to party again!
