After a night out it's easy to grab a face wipe to take your make-up off before bed.

However, while every now and then it's ok to use cleansing wipes. Every. Single. Day. is not good, and here’s why:

Your face is not fully cleansed
Wipes don’t fully remove your make-up so you will end up going to bed with some foundation or mascara still on your face.

They’re drying
A lot of wipes contain alcohol which can be harsh on your skin and are particularly drying as they remove your skin’s natural oil.

Full of preservatives
If you have sensitive skin you should avoid using wipes too often as they can contain preservatives which will just irritate your face.

Under eye winkles
If you are using wipes to remove your eye make-up, you are putting yourself at risk of getting under eye wrinkles and damaging the delicate eye area. This is because they require you to rub your eyes quite vigorously to remove mascara.

Your moisturiser won’t work
As wipes won’t fully cleanse your face, anything you put on your skin – like moisturiser – after using them won’t be properly absorbed. This means they won’t be of benefit to your skin.

Who doesn’t love a good celebrity feud? Even better when one of the celebrities involved is a 90s star trying to claw their way back into the limelight.

Enter: Charlize Theron and Tia Mowry, of Sister, Sister fame.

Tia has been bad mouthing Charlize Theron (is she crazy? Has she not seen Monster?!). The two women go to the same indoor cycling studio at a SoulCycle gym in LA, and according to Tia, when she approached Charlize at the studio, the Oscar winning actress just rolled her eyes and said: “Oh my God”.

Now, we wouldn’t fancy someone doing this to us either, but we wouldn’t go blabbing about it! Charlize is now VERY angry. A SoulCycle insider has claimed:

“Charlize came in so p****d off after Tia went to the tabloids about her, and she demanded we bar Tia from ever coming back.

“When the manager refused Charlize just got angrier and said she'd go to the top to make it happen.”

Apparently Charlize was also heard saying: “This nobody who was famous for a minute 20 years ago can complain to the tabloids about me but I can't expect you to protect me from hangers on in your studio?”

Yikes – this is getting nasty! Looks like Tia better find a new gym!

Ok, so we know that we need hormones to be happy and have babies and all that business, but is it really necessary that they come with so many negative side effects? We’re not sure how much more we can take! Somebody pass us some Evening Primrose Oil – QUICK!

Mood swings
One minute you’re delighted with life, the next? Your boyfriend has given you a funny look and you feel like you’re either about to burst into tears or kill him stone dead. Either way, it’s not good, and hormones are to blame.

Breakouts
You could wash your face a thousand times a day, but hormones don’t care. They will give all the bacteria in your face a little pep talk for one week of every month, and next thing you know you’re down in the chemist investing in an industrial strength concealer. The hormones win again.

Excessive sweating
If you find yourself sweating an awful lot, especially during that time of the month, hormones are probably to blame. They’re just not happy with making you moody and giving you spots, they want to make you sweat as well. They are pure evil.

Periods
If it weren’t for hormones, we wouldn’t have to live through a week or more of PMS each month. Seriously, why do they make being a girl so difficult?

Messed up libido
If you’re on the pill, you might notice that it’s either killed off your sex drive completely, or put it into overdrive. Is it too much to ask for a constant, stable feed of whatever hormone it is you need for a working libido? Of course it is. Because hormones don’t negotiate. They just do whatever the hell they want.

It was reported last month that Lizzy Pattinson had successfully passed an auditioned for The X Factor.

So it was only natural that Robert would eventually be questioned on his sister’s audition, and it seems that he couldn’t be prouder of his sister: "I'm like, so ridiculously proud of her. I would never have the balls to do that, ever, in a million years. I can't believe she's done it. So, it's amazing."

Awww, how sweet. This isn’t the first time Robert has praised Lizzy’s musical attributes as she also contributed to background vocals for the Twilight and Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 soundtracks.

Robert is also famous for his music and is rumoured to be recording an album himself. It seems music really does run in the family.

It’s not unusual for someone to take a selfie when they are on holidays. In fact, in this day and age it would be quite weird to not take one – what are you hiding?!

However, Forest Galante has taken it to a whole new level. Not only is he travelling around the globe introducing himself to some of the world’s most dangerous animals, he is also taking a selfie with them. We think he is bonkers too!

The 26-year-old, who hails from California, has taken pictures of himself holding an anaconda, giving a crocodile a kiss and freediving with bull sharks to name a few.

The Californian has had some pretty scary encounters on his adventures and has even survived a plane crash. However, that wasn’t the scariest moment for him – “Freediving with bull sharks in a tiny boat 140 miles off the coast of Texas during an inbound hurricane was extremely intense – probably one of the scariest things I've done.”

There have been some pretty incredible highs though including feeding a giant tortoise. The biologist said: “Some of my favourites would be Palau in Micronesia for the most iconic oceanic life imaginable and Andisabe in Madagascar for its unusual animals.”

It’s been revealed that Kim and Kanye have bought themselves a new mansion, just around the corner from Kim’s mum, Kris.

Kimye’s new mansion is located in the Hidden Hills area of Los Angeles and reportedly costs $20 million.

The couple were apparently fed up of waiting for renovations to be finished on their $11 million Beverly Hills house.

Their new luxury mansion has two swimming pools, two spas, two barbecue pits, a vineyard and even a 3.5 acre estate.

A close source revealed why they decided to purchase the new home: “They wanted more land than the Bel-Air home, so they are flipping that and will have the two homes now. But they will sell that and move into Hidden Hills. It is way more private and secure with a whole security home above. Kim is the reason they haven’t moved. She keeps coming up with excuses. Kanye wants them to have their own place, it’s all on Kim.”

Well, judging by the mansion's description, we reckon that this new house will meet Kim's approval!

Jamie Dornan’s next flick The Siege of Jadotville is NOTHING like Fifty Shades of Grey. In fact, we’d nearly go as far to say that there’s not one bit of sex in it. Instead, it is “a taut geo-political action thriller which centres around the siege of 150 UN Irish troops led by Commandant Pat Quinlan in the Congo in 1961”, according to the official synopsis. And it's going to be filmed in Ireland and South Africa.

Dornan will be playing Commandant Pat Quinlan, “the Irish man who led the UN battalion”, and he’s very excited about it:

“I can't wait to get stuck into Jadotville. It's an unbelievable story and Commandant Pat Quinlan is going to be a treat of a character to tackle. I'm a big fan of both Richie Smyth and Alan Moloney and I'm very much looking forward to working with them both.”

Hmm, sounds gritty. Will you give it a watch?

It looks like that George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin are getting closer to their big day!

It’s been reported that George and Amal have obtained their marriage licence this afternoon.

The couple got their licence in London, where Amal is based. Chelsea Old Town Hall posted a notice outside their building, announcing Clooney and Alamuddin’s plans to marry.

Speculation has suggested that the actual wedding ceremony will take place in Italy.

When Clooney was questioned on his upcoming nuptials, George spoke fondly of his wife-to-be.

"I'm marrying up." 

While our hearts are breaking, we still can’t wait for the couple’s big day!

Poor Kristen gets a lot of grief for not smiling in photos. From her red carpet snaps to paparazzi attention – the actress has managed to gain a reputation for her frown.

But despite all of the criticism, the 24-year-old thinks people would complain no matter what she did.

“Now I feel like if I smiled for a paparazzi photo — not that I ever would —that’s exactly what people would be desecrating me for. They’d be like, ‘now you’re going to give it up, now you’re a sell out.’ Like, okay. What do you want? What would you like?”

Fair point Kristen! The actress also went on to talk about her future career plans.

“Never at any point have I sat down and plotted how I should proceed from here on. As soon as you start thinking about your career as a trajectory — like, as if you’re going to miss out on some wave or momentum — then you’re never doing anything for yourself anyway. Then you’re truly, actually, specifically working for the public. You’re turning yourself into a bag of chips.”

Rihanna is no stranger to the world of fashion and beauty. Other than her own personal iconic style, she has very successfully collaborated with River Island and MAC to produce fashion lines and cosmetics.

Now however the rumour is that she wants to go it alone.

Through her company Roraj Trade LLC, Rihanna has trademarked a huge number of potential fashion and beauty products under the name Fenty –her surname.

(Had you forgotten Rihanna had a surname? We had.)

Are we about to see a RiRi fashion revolution? Or is she just buying up the names to stop anyone else getting them?

We’ll have to wait and see.

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’ youngest daughter Tallulah Willis has checked herself into rehab for alcohol and cocaine abuse. 

The 20-year-old is now residing in celebrity treatment centre The Medows, in Arizona.

Tallulah is not the first in her family to suffer from drug abuse problems. 

Demi did a second stint in rehab just two years ago, and – according to a source close to the family – feels terribly guilty that her daughter seems to be following in her footsteps.

“Demi feels so much guilt about Tallulah spiralling out of control like she did. It’s like she’s living past experiences all over again. But she’s trying to be strong for her daughter”

We have all heard of the term beauty sleep with many of us thinking it is just an urban myth, but this video shows just how important getting adequate shut-eye actually is.

In the video, a make-up artist asks people how much snooze they get in any given night, they then use make-up to show them what they’ll look like if they keep going this way.

If you are prone to surviving on just a few hours of sleep you will definitely change your mind after looking at this.
