Review: Aplava

Being a part of Blogger's network at Sheroes has its advantages. Being a beauty blogger, I received a call from Srishti that whether I would be interested in doing a review for Aplava.com, an online beauty store. Why would any beauty blogger in sane mind would refuse the offer... and I was no different.

About Aplava
"Aplava derives its name from sanskrit origins. Aplava (pronounced “AAp luv” in original sanskrit) means taking a bath to purify oneself. It’s an ablution process of cleansing oneself." 

They want to give the customers an experience of divine purity and a beautiful self.

They are a startup and the website looks pretty inviting. They have an assortment of prestigious brands, niche and cult brands as well as household names under various categories like  Skincare, makeup, wellness, fragrance, travel, intimacy etc for men and women; bath and body and diapering for babies; room fragrance, candles etc. under home and gifting options too.

The website is easy to navigate and use and the best part is since they deal directly with manufacturers or authorized distributors, there are hardly any chances of getting a duplicate/fake product.

Also, you can determine your beauty score on the site by answering questions about your skin, hair etc. This will be used to recommend a skin care routine for you as well as the products.

Package & Delivery
So the package was shipped on 23rd July and was received on 27th July and it was packed in a cardboard box. All the products were individually bubble wrapped.

Products
Now comes the best part, which am sure you all must be waiting for... What did I get in that box??
Let me show you first, before talking about them...


So, in all I got 4 products, 2 samples and a discount card. Let's start with the products first-

The Dual Action Cleanser and Exfoliator contain organic rosehip and orange extracts with microfine exfoliating beads.

(Price of 75g tube- Rs. 1010/-)



2. Street Wear Ultramoist Lipstick- It contains mega moisturizers to seal in moisture and colour. I got the shade 25- Pink Persuasion, which is a peachy pink colour and one of those colours which go well with my skin tone. 24 shades are available in this range from berries to red, from brown to nudes and from pink to peaches. Price- Rs.220/-
