Free what?

It's 11:30 p.m. I just finished another hilarious episode of the Tonight show with Jimmy Fallon (bravo good sir) and the only thing on my mind is my pillow and the back of my eyelids.

I'm still in my early twenties, my skin can handle a little sleepover with makeup. Right? Right....?

I challenge you all to go to sleep without any makeup on for one week and then tell me the improvements you were able to see! If don't have any good late night products give one of these a try and be sure to let me know how you felt about them!
