Aplava- My Shopping Experience & Haul
22:38:00
We all love shopping right isn't it but it's not possible for any of us to visit store every time when there is a new product out in the market because we all know how brands are when it comes to launch a new product,they keep on launching something or the other.
About Aplava
Right now they have this Spin to Win deal going on where you can spin and win any of the deal which you can see in the picture above,it has 15% , 20% , 25 % and 30% off also the Free shipping deal,isn't it amazing!

In the Exclusive tab you will see some of the products from international brands and then their is Product on sale and in that you will see the some of the products which are on sale. I feel that these tabs can be really helpful while shopping.

1. O3+ 3 Brighten Up Serum -I did not get too many products,i just got two products and one is a O3+ serum and i got this because i saw one of my friend Jennifer Bobby from (indianbeautycafe) hauling this in her haul so i thought i should also give it a try since we both have dry skin and i've been wanting to try out a serum for so long and O3+ is a brand i never tried so i got this.
2. Wild Earth Ginger Lime Extra Conditioning Shampoo- This product was an impromptu purchase since i had to complete the total,my friend picked this one and it is a shampoo from the brand Wild Earth.
Review-Wild Earth Ginger Lime Extra Conditioning Shampoo.
I feel that this website is nice since it is offering wide range of brands,i just wish they add more products on their website and apart from this thing i also feel that the free shipping amount should be less since it's little higher from the amount people actually prefer.My experience was not bad at all however there were some hiccups in the whole process but in the end it turned out good.On both the products i got i will be reviewing them on my blog soon so watch this space for that.
That's all for this review ,thanks for reading.

I was not a online shopper before because when you are new to makeup you do not feel comfortable buying a product without seeing it in person and that's completely right,but that is not practical to go out and shop when there is new launch in the market.
Off late i have been into this online shopping phaze,if you are lazy to go out every time a new product is out then online shopping is a good way to shop at the comfort of your home also the products get delivered at your doorstep.The thing i really like about the online websites is that you can get the products on discounts half of the time also they keep on trying to get you hooked with some amazing deals every now and then.
There are very few websites which targeted towards Beauty and Makeup and i really wanted to have some more websites so that we can have more options while shopping.
I am really happy that there is now one more website in the market to make the makeup and beauty shopping experience much more better.

Haul & My Experience
I found the website very easy to navigate and user friendly,i found it very simple to look around what you wanna see and buy.They have a wide selection of National and International brands,however while i was shopping i felt that though they have a wide range of brands but they do not a wide range of products to choose from and mostly the product are on the expensive side.I just wish they add more products and some affordable brands to their website.The thing i really like is that they are growing tremendously ,since they are new in the market and they just have started considering that,they are doing a good job and i can see that they will bring some amazing products and deals in the future,but for now i find the product selection is very less.I had a hard time in picking the products.They provided me a voucher and i need to shop with that and i was trying to find some good products and then i realized that they should add more products and i think they will certainly.
One more thing i wanna share which is really important that when i made my account and searching the products ,taking screenshots for the post the website was working fine but suddenly it stopped working on my lappy,phone and tablet then i asked my brother who is in Noida that is it opening up there on his lappy and he said yes ,i was clueless that why is this happening and then i had no option so i asked my friend Ankita from (makeupfashionrevival) to place my order since i have all things ready like my id password ,i just told her the things i wanna add to my cart and she placed the order,i am thankful to her that she made the order on behalf of me,though i was little disappointed about the fact that i cannot order myself.I wanted to asked the team but my bro told me that it's a issue regarding the BSNL Internet since it has blocked many websites but still i was not sure how can a shopping website can be blocked since it can be real bad for the company and i wanted to share this issue with the website that they should try to resolve it and i mailed them as well about it.After a week later when i recieved my package i tried to open the website again and it opened easily without any error,i was so happy that i can take new screenshots phewwww...
Long story short the website is working fine now.My order got placed on the 5th september and it reached me on 11th september and meanwhile i was getting notified about when my order dispatched, initiated for shipment and when it is, out for delievry, so all this process took a week,which is good according to me.
Now let's see what i have got!!!

What I Got
The products got delivered in a brown box which has Aplava logo on it,the box is very sturdy and reached in a very good condition,the packaging was intact.Not only the box, the products also came nicely bubble wrapped,both the products were packed separately.
1. O3+ 3 Brighten Up Serum -I did not get too many products,i just got two products and one is a O3+ serum and i got this because i saw one of my friend Jennifer Bobby from (indianbeautycafe) hauling this in her haul so i thought i should also give it a try since we both have dry skin and i've been wanting to try out a serum for so long and O3+ is a brand i never tried so i got this.
