Hello peeps, I’m back with another online shopping experience, this time with flipkart.com. I got a gift voucher of Rs.500 from dealstan blogging contest and as expected, I headed straight to flipkart’s beauty category. I always wanted to try a gel eyeliner so i chose Maybelline lasting drama gel liner in black and as there was still 50 bucks left, I added some more amount to it and ordered Maybelline hyper curl volume express mascara.

My Shopping Experience at Flipkart: Flipkart is among the top and best online shopping sites in India. It initially started as an o line destination for buying books and electronics and eventually expanded as a one stop destination for all your needs. Presently flipkart has in store books section, clothing section, health & beauty section, electronic goods and home & kitchen items. The website is simple and easily navigable. You can find different categories at the top of the homepage. Each category gives you a drop down menu of sub categories.
You can also browse product in sidebar. There is also a separate offer zone and a section featuring “deal of the day” . Simply browse through the range of products available, select the items you need, click on buy now and go ahead to payment.
I placed my order on 11th May, Sunday. As soon as my order got confirmed, I got an email and text message confirming the same. I received both the products in different date. I was given a tracking number within 24 hours.The Maybelline lasting drama gel liner delivered to me on 16th May, 2014 and the Maybelline hyper curl volume express mascara on 17th May, 2014. Both the items came in perfect condition and were securely wrapped. On receiving the orders,I received another mail and text message confirming the delivery. Here are the pics below.
Sorry, I forgot to click pictures of the second package containing the mascara as my exam was going on. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase and will love to shop with them again.
