Don’t get it twisted I have been a makeup enthusiast all my teenhood—way before venturing into the world of beauty writing. But on most days, a jam-packed schedule with ‘n’ number of places to be— there is seldom time to squeeze in even a quick glam sesh before stepping outdoors. Atop that, the mere thought of donning a face of makeup, laying bare to the sweltering Mumbai heat, is reason enough to steer clear of my vanity. And my only resort on said days is to run a brush through the tangled mess of my hair and hope to feel centred, and appear presentable. Or so I believed, up till now!
I recently stumbled upon the Serial Kisser Tinted Lip Balms By Nykaa and in the process, have unveiled a no-sweat, no-frills way of amping up my appearance. This nifty little handbag hero wields the immense power to elevate my spirit with just one swipe, nothing more. Imbued with the goodness of Vitamin E and Shea Butter, it deeply nourishes the lips while coating them with gorgeous colours.
