Shopping @ purplle.com

Hey All,

I ordered a few days back @ Purplle.com and I have been waiting for my order for the past week. This is quite unusual because even though I don't live in a big city, orders from Purplle.com arrive in flat 4 days. 

However this time it was really bad. Even after 4 days of ordering the products, my order status was showing as verified and not shipped.

It took a few calls to Purplle to find out the reason and finally they admitted that they are waiting for one of the products in my order as it was out of stock and my order will be dispatched soon.

 And to top it all they didn't even marked the product as out of stock on their website.

So I was stuck with an order placed @ Purplle which was not being dispatched, I desparately wanted my Loreal Professional Masque because there was not a drop of it left in my old jar and my hair was going all unruly.

 Anyways I got my order 3 days back and here it is.

Their packages look like shoe boxes. I will miss Urbantouch.com in terms of packing. Their boxes and packing was beautiful. But sadly the website is now closed.

Here is the shoe box from Purplle without shoes :)

Online shopping for shoes again

Hey all.

I saw great offers @ Bestylish.com a few days back. I had been eyeing some sandals from a long time but did not buy because their price were a little high and did not fit into my category of a good bargain.
But I got lucky this time :)
The same sandals went on a sale, here are the unpacking pics and the gorgeous sandals.

So this is the box sitting pretty on my bed.

 A little peek of the boxes inside the plastic cover. Taped and secured properly

 

Here are the two boxes.. Cant wait to open..:)

 Two lovely pair of sandals.

 Ok. this one was bought in the clearance sale @ 270 only

 

 

 The grey and red shoe costed Rs 600.. but its a real beauty.


Buy this HERE. 

There are 2 versions of this shoe. A grey one and a black one.
Black sandals are very common, and I already had one black and red combination sandal. So I chose the grey one.

Happy shopping people :)

Paper Christmas Tree for fancy dress costume

Hi there,

There was a fancy dress competition at my kids school a few months back, and I seized this opportunity to put my craftiness into use. I had the option of renting a costume for him but I decided to take the matter in my own hands.

It was nearly Christmas then and so I decided to go with the Christmas theme and decide to make him a Christmas tree.  I looked up the internet for paper Christmas trees and found a nice way make one of my own that I could put over my kids head. 

Online Shopping for Cosmetics

I do most of my online shopping @ Purplle.com.

Its a great website in terms of product range, availability, discounts and plus it delivers all over India.
More over you get points for every purchase and reviews. These points can then be redeemed like cash.
Minimum order for free delivery Rs 500

Hair Care

I went for Loreal hair smoothening at Hyderabad (which is the nearest city to my remote location). And these are the products that I am using right now. Normal shampoos cannot be used on my hair now.

The opaque bottle is Loreal Professional Liss Ultime Shampoo, the purple tub is masque (used as a conditioner) , the transparent bottle is the serum which is used on shampooed and towel dried hair.

The large blue tub is Loreal Hair Spa. I use it every 15 days to give some shine and weight to my hair.

The first time I went for hair product shopping was very painful. There are a very few shops in that sell the professional products. They have to be bought through a salon. But it was my bad luck that the salon where I got my treatment done did not had the stock so he redirected me to a shop. And after 2 hours of waiting (because the shopkeeper did not had the products in his shop and he arranged it from somewhere else) I got the stuff. And I never ever bought it from a shop again.

So here comes in online shopping. A few shop owners give discounts on cosmetics. They are mostly sold on MRP. I buy these products (except the hair spa) at Purplle.
I get 15-20 Rs discount and what more I get these products delivered at my doorsteps. This is a huge blessing for me. Because I won't have to plan a 5 hour trip and a days stay in Hyderbad if I am running out of shampoo..:)

You can also buy these at Slassy. It does not gives discount like Purplle but a backup is always good.
And in case if you are thinking if these products might not be delivered to your address - dont worry. If blue dart courier comes to your place these will also come.

So happy shopping and dont forget to leave a comment if you like this post.

My First Post

Hi,

This is my first post and I will make sure that there are many more.

A little bit about myself. I live in India and I am a working woman. But what I love most is doing things around the house, a bit of cooking if I am not tiered, sewing, craft work, gardening and lots of DIY stuff.

I love to travel and go to places that are not usually on travel guides. But my little son is making traveling very difficult these days :)

I also love online shopping. Actually I don't have any other option because the place where I live cannot be called a city. My work usually keeps me remote places in India so even buying petty stuff like your favourite shampoo is a big task.

So keep visiting as I post exciting stuff.
