As a beauty editor, and as a rational human being, I literally, yes literally, die inside each time someone says to me, “Of course I wash my face—well, OK, I use makeup wipes, but it’s the same thing.” Oh my god.

Kendall Jenner freely admits that Paris Hilton is one of her fashion icons. You probably remember when she copied one of Paris's most famous looks — her infamous backless, chainmail dress — for her birthday in November 2016. "Paris is a family friend, so, like our big sisters, we have always admired her fashion sense," she told W Magazine of the outfit inspo.

Wow friends and family with this skillet lasagna, a modern take on the classic comfort-food casserole. With layers of homemade tomato sauce, lasagna noodles, ricotta, and spinach, every bite is oozing with flavor. Starting the cooking process in the skillet ensures the outer edges achieve maximum crispiness, and finishing it under the broiler allows the cheese to bubble and brown.
