Functional Features

Some of the Features of the Website which I liked and makes it different in comparison to other Websites.

Account Dashboard
Provides complete details of Previous orders made and other Information like Aplava Prestige points, Contact Info, Address etc


Out of Stock Subscription
We can view details of Out of Stock products for which we have subscribed to get Notifications. 
It is a very systematic way of keeping track.


Price Drop Alert Subscription
If we have opted to get notified when any price drop of products happens, then it will be displayed here.
I bet this is the most visited section lol

Where we can earn some points if our friend joins the website.

Aplava Prestige
For every product we purchase, certain points are given to us.

This is called Aplava prestige.

These points can be used during check out, which will reduce the price of our total items.

The coolest thing about this is, when we redeem , the discount wont be a small amount like 10 Rs etc.

I remember having 300 Points and I got discount of 75 Rs....cool right?

Hey guys, 

Welcome back to my Blog!!

There is a new thing in the Beauty Industry that is becoming super popular way too fast and it is called as Subscription Box

You must be hearing about them all the time!

This trend started with Makeup, Skincare went on to Jewellery, Nail Polishes and today we have them for Periods too!!

What is a Subscription Box?
It is a package of retail products sent directly to a customer on a recurring basis. 
Customer subscribes to this service by paying certain amount.

There are monthly, quarterly also yearly Boxes.

Today I will be reviewing one called Vanity Cask

Looks like this…..

Price : 999 INR / Month

How is this Different?
If there are similar services in the market, how is it different?

Why am I so happy and giddy for my this Box?

The answer is à  Luxury Brands

The same Luxury Brands that are super popular, and are known for their Quality
The same Luxury Brands which we are not sure, if they will suit us.

Yes, the same Luxury Brands which we all want to try, but are too scared to because they are on the expensive side.

Solution to this Problem : Vanity Cask

What I like about this arrangement is, in one shot I can figure out which “Skincare” Product of Luxury Brand suits me best, so that next I can move on to Hair care, Bath & Body etc.

Each of the Samples are large enough to last 5-7 applications.
All details about each product is explained in detail by a booklet provided in the Box.

Hey everyone, how is it going?

I have a special blog post for you today!!

So what comes to your mind when you think about getting your house painted?

I will tell you what comes to my mind, because I have gone through it and it was not so good.

I remember the process being

Super slow, the work was supposed to be finished in 15 days but it actually got finished after 25 days!!

Dusty, entire house was dirty, messy and we hated every moment of it. when my aunt got her house renovated, during the painting work she shifted to first floor because she could not bear the sight of it!!

No guarantee of Quality, many times in spite of spending so much money people wont be happy with the work like finishing of wall etc

so, in short getting your house painted makes everyone Nervous and Worried.

That is why Berger Paints India has come up with a Innovative Idea!

They call it FASTER, CLEANER, BETTER
