MY ONLINE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE WITH APLAVA.COM: WEBSITE REVIEW

Hello Everyone!

Just like most of the girls, I am also a huge fan of Online Shopping! Be it grocery, clothes, shoes or cosmetics..they are all ordered while I am sitting on my couch :)
There are several benefits of online shopping especially the discounts and the price difference. and not to mention, you are saved from all the tiring walks with mall full of people.

The only thing that I miss when trying to search for some cosmetics are the recommendations by the experts at the counter, based on my skin type and my requirement. And then I came across Aplava.com ! To know what is Aplava.com and how is it, please keep reading further :)

First Impression:
  • The first thing that caught my attention was the website itself. Navigation thought out the website is very easy and simple. As soon as the first page loads, you can see all the offers and discounts going on. Isn't it cool? Well, we all keep searching for it!
  • We have so many cosmetics/skincare websites but what makes Aplava different is their ' Beauty Personalised'. It helps you create your Beauty Profile - select your skin type, issues you face with your skin (acne, pigmentation, dryness, etc), select your skin tone, hair details. Based on all the details entered, Aplava team understands your requirements and recommend beauty/skincare/hair care products.

My Experience With Aplava:

I received my order in within 5 business days which is good. All the products were neatly bubble wrapped and assembles in a sturdy carton box. They offered a huge range of International brands along with the known ones and I could see amazing collection and discounts for best sunscreen lotion and dark circle creams !. Since I was using the website for the first time, I ordered a few basics:
  Maybelline Volume Express Mascara
  O3+ Mlk Scrub
  Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Sultry
  Coloressence Pearl Finish Eye Shade




Overall Thoughts:

Overall, I quite liked the website and had a good experience. The only thing which bothered me a little that although they have a lot of International Brands, few of the known ones are missing. However since its a new site, I would prefer waiting for sometime! With all their unique and amazing features, they are definitely a must try.

Hope you liked the post. Do let me know if you want me to review any of the products or your experience with Aplava.com

Until Then...
Ciao!!!
