Here is the list of brands that it stores:
My Experience with Violetbag.com:
I was itching to get my hands on a particular shade of lipstick from the Maybelline’s Colorsensational range after I tried it on from my sister-in-law’s vanity last week. To my surprise, none of the online sites had this particular shade with them. I was like how come they don’t have this one. Then, I found this lipstick on violetbag.com. I headed straight to the lipstick section and yes, it had my shade and the best part was that the whole range had some discounts on them unlike urbantouch and healthkart where the products are being sold at their MRP.:haanji:
So, getting excited, I placed my order then and there, i.e., on the midnight of 9th October and the order reached me on October 13th itself, isn’t it cool? 
Let’s have a look at my package.
Yeah it’s a violet box 
The invoice was attached to the package, which I already had in my mail.
See how nicely they have packed the whole box.
My orders in the bubble wrap:D
Both my orders were in perfect condition and had 2011 manufacturing dates. :haanji:
Coming down to the pros and cons of shopping with violetbag.com.
Pros:
1. The site is very user friendly.
2. They have separate sections for makeup, skincare, fragrances, etc., which is very common in online shopping sites.
3. Free shipping all over India on all orders above Rs. 250, which is fine with me.
4. The packing is awesome and I find it better than urbantouch.
5. The customer care is quite nice and prompt. I had requested them to ship the product so that it reaches me after 12th as I was in Kolkata at that time and was reaching Mumbai on 12th.The reply came the morning after and I got my product on 13th only.
6. They have discount on most of the items like their counterparts, but if you compare them, some of the things are way more cheaper.
7. Quick service. The products reach you in 3 to 5 days which they claim officially.
8. Cash on delivery option is available.
9. They also have a very wide range of accessories for both men and women like blow dryer, curling set, straighteners, epilators, electric shaver, etc.
Cons:
1. They don’t have as many options and brands that I would have liked to my preference, but they are a relatively new site.
2. Rs. 50 shipping charge is applicable for orders below Rs. 250/-, which could be a problem for some as you can easily get them with free shipping in urbantouch.
My Rating:
4 out of 5 (minus one for absence of brands like NYX, Faces, etc).
Do I Recommend violetbag.com?
I would definitely recommend this site to all of you. You should definitely check it out. I hope they get more brands on board with time.

Next on my list. I was also thinking of giving this one a try. Now, I definitely will :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: poo
hey, i also wanted to purchase sumthing frm violet bag bt dere was no cod option in d payments section, just checked it out again also….how did u choose cod option??
hey deepti when you chkout after adding the goods to ur bag it’ll take u to another page with 1,2,3,4 steps
)
in the payment page tht is page3 there u hv the option for COD. hope this helps
same thing happ to me! no COD option available on page 3!
I guess its that once they take your address in page 2, then they give COD option only in places where they have trusted agents who would collect the money and send it to them.
Same thing happ to me when i ordered on BLAB. I had selected the COD option and i got a mail after few days saying that they have the products with them but they dont provide COD option to my pincode area and that i have to make online payment by debit/credit card for them to send me the products!! :pan: :pan: :pan:
NOt bad….I now have another list to be a little more free about. :toothygrin:
:thanks: Jyo.
free abt????? :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:
thx :yahoo:
