Now that we are done talking about cleansing & exfoliating let's move on with our skincare basics. What's next? Toning.
(Oh, if you haven't read the earlier posts in the series yet, I suggest you do that first and come back here - CLEANSING; EXFOLIATION - HERE & HERE). 


Okay, so toners. You either use them or you don't. I fall in the former category. I like using them - yes, at any given point of time I have a couple going - I choose depending on how my skin feels or I alternate between them or use 1 in the morning & 1 at night. 
You don't need 2 or 3 necessarily. But if you aren't using any yet you might want to add 1 in your routine and up your skincare game a little.

Lately, both Smriti and I have been streamlining our cosmetics. You can say that we kind of got exhausted by this never ending market and new launches at the drop of a hat!

Rather than buying more, we're choosing to use what we already have, and if possible in multiple ways to add fun! (Refer to our multi-tasking post to know more)

That's where these YBP colour creams fit in (they can be used on the face, lips & eyes), and now was the perfect time to dedicate a full post to them :)

We might be one of the last people reviewing these perhaps :D But nevertheless, if you are curious, read on! 
Oh and if you want to know more about their skincare line, Smriti has an in depth review of their Plant Remedy Oil HERE.

One question to you all.

How many times have you bought makeup that you really did not require?

Count me guilty. There have been many times when my decision was guided by greed, not need. I'm sure this is something that you will identify with. Having a large makeup stash is pretty to look at, till you realize how overwhelming and confusing it gets to pick out one product in a hurry!


So let's talk about multi-tasking, your answer to getting the most out of your stash, sensible beauty brought to you by us!

Hi everyone! Firstly, thank you so much for all the appreciation on the Masaba By Nykaa Nail Enamel post ! We never thought that you all will like it so much and we are truly grateful. (If you haven't seen that, go check it out already!)

Yes, we were brutally honest in that post and your comments on Instagram made it all worth it! 
The old constant readers of our blog already know this - We will always be honest with our thoughts & reviews! It's a promise :)

Okay, before I get all emotional, let's just dive into the new Masaba Lipstick swatches!
