Good evening Little Ones! I'm back in business, I had to overcome serious anxiety and depression, just throwing it out there. But I'm ready to get back into blogging. I will write a MASSIVE blog post on why I was away for so long; but on the more positive side; here is a product review! I've already filmed a video on this; but I wanted to write about it as well, let's me get back into the swing of writing again.
Without any further elaboration, let's get on with it!

THE PACKAGING:

Golden bliss ... YSL hit the nail on the head when designing this product. Walking around owning a gold pen has to be an achievement? Just me? OK.

It's simple yet breathtaking, in this scenario little is more, and YSL rock that motto. Who needs over-accentuate; when  packaging like this exists? The gold and black appearance is extremely iconic; when I come across a product that has this design, it's evidently YSL; they've claimed the gold and black appearance; while keeping it innovative. I've never seen a beauty product this bold before ... It's courageous and creative. Additionally, I adore their emblem placed on the cap' it's sophisticated, and doesn't shove it in your face. I know other brands like to CAPITALISE their logo, and shove it in peoples faces. But YSL position it in such a way where it's delicate, without looking tacky. 

On the other hand, in terms of functionality of the product, they again passed with flying colours, it's compact so you can take it on the go without having to worry that it's taking up too much space. Also, the fact that you click the bottom of the pen to obtain the product is genius; it makes me enjoy using the product so much more. The only criticism I have, is that you can't tell how much product you have left, (as you can't see); you have the play the guessing game. But apart from that, I can't fault it. 

THE PRODUCT:

Now for the main event. Does this product work? Keep on reading Little Ones. I purchased the shade number 1 luminous radiance, the colour match is perfect, isn't too light or too dark. For me I want a concealer which is slightly lighter, if not the same shade as my skin, as I feel a really white concealer would make me look odd; (this has happened, and I didn't like it). This concealer pen gives me the coverage that I want, without washing me out, and gives me a healthy finish. 

If you want a heavy duty product that covers every blemish, this is NOT the product for you, I'm a very natural kinda girl, so this suits my needs to the ground. It glides on really easily with the fine tip applicator, and blends in effortlessly. In relation to staying power, it's quite high, on an average day it lasts up to 8 hours, and that's without me applying powder throughout the day; if I did then it would definitely last a lot longer. 

On the other hand, I feel like this would suit people with dry skin, I say that because I have very dry skin and it doesn't stick to my dry patches; (which shows that it doesn't suck the oil out of my face). That being said, I have no idea how this would react to people with oily skin? It might not be the product for you, but what I can say is that in my oily spots (my chin), it stays put really well, but does break up eventually). 

THE PRICE: 

This wonder retails for £25, is that a lot of money? You decide ... I'm not here to say what's too dear, if you believe that this is the product for you, buy it, if not save your money and find something that you think benefits you without spending £25. For me personally, YES, I have extremely dry skin, to find something that not only matches my skin perfectly, but doesn't cling to my dry areas is a God send. Will I repurchase this when it runs out? Hell yes! It's worth my money, does what I need it to do, why wouldn't I?

Kerastase Discipline Shampoo Review

Kerastase Discipline Shampoo Review

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Kerastase, I purchased this product with my own money. I needed to find a new shampoo for curly thick hair, and this worked it's magic.

Hello and welcome to another review! I've discovered a new love and of course I wanted to share it with you lovely people! What are your plans? I've just finished watching stranger things season one! Oh my gosh I'm obsessed, if you haven't seen it, watch it! Season two is coming out in October, I can't wait! Anyhow, if you adore hair products, (and your hair is way out of control), you will love this!

If you want to read another review, click here!

THE PACKAGING:

As you all know by now, I'm a packaging addict! If it looks pretty I'm suckered into buying it ... I know it's a bad trait, but I can't help it. Come on though, it's rose gold! Where have you ever seen rose gold shampoo packing? I can guarantee you've never seen it! If you have you'll understand why I'm obsessed. Anyhow, I find the matte bottle and shiny rim around the lid so elegant and eye-catching. It beats the typical colour scheme of: blue, white and red. Kerastase is highly innovative, and their packaging reflects how well their products perform, believe me I've been using their merchandise for a number of years; and I've always been impressed with the quality of the design and the performance. In addition to this, I love how they've maintained the same font, simply because you can differentiate their brand from all the others, as well as keeping their sophisticated image. They are consistent throughout, which makes not only me, but their loyal customers devoted to the brand; too big of a change and it can make people run in the other direction. On the other hand, Kerastase colour co-ordinate hair type, for example rose gold is for curly thick hair, whereas dry hair is an emerald green. It helps customers remember what colour to go for, instead of reading the small print and getting confused and impatient. I think that's enough about packaging don't you think? Let's move onto the performance! 

THE PRODUCT:

Here to the main event! Does it actually work? From all the positive connotations, yes it does work, but I don't know if it'll work for all hair types. From my perspective I have exceedingly thick hair, to the point where I have to get my fiance to brush the back; it actually hurts my arms. For a while I was using Kerastase damage shampoo, and I enjoyed it, but the formula was too dense and didn't distribute as well as I's hoped. So I went back to the drawing board and tried something new, which is why this review is being written. Let me just say, Kerastase really nailed it on the head with this unruly hair shampoo! It's creamy in consistency, and the lava level is out of this world! It's reaches to the scalp and the ends of your hair, it feels squeaky clean and smells beautiful! Although when I saw the bottle I was sceptical, simply because it wasn't very big in comparison to my other shampoo package. But a little really does go a long way, which is fantastic. I've owned this product for just over two months, and I haven't even gone through half; I wash my hair 2-3 times a week, so I'm not going easy on the product either. I believe that by the end of October it'll disappear, and yes I'll be repurchasing the same shampoo, it works well for me, so why not.

THE PRICE:

Now the dreaded price, something that people hate. Is it a lot of money? You can make the decision based on: how much you need the product, and how care-free you are with your money. You earn it, purchase whatever you fancy. I purchased this from my local hairdressers Stonehills, and retailed for £18.60; which is the same price online. Now some people may say, wow that's a bit excessive, in my opinion, no. I was searching for the perfect shampoo that could really clean out my hair, and reduce frizz, this product does that 100%; it makes it easier to brush when soaking wet and damp, (which Chris loves). In addition to this, as mentioned previously, it's lasted me over 2 months, and I haven't even used up half of the product. If this is too much for you there are plenty of drugstore shampoo's out there, Aussie is a great alternative; but I do prefer my Kerastase to be perfectly honest.

Anyhow, this is now the end of my blog post! I have something else coming out tomorrow! It'll be in the advice category, and I'm also planning on making a YouTube video as well; so keep tuned for that! I hope you have a wonderful day, I will see you Little Ones tomorrow! I love you all so very much! x x x

My experience at Greys

Salon experience at Welwyn Garden City Greys 

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Greys, I have only recently been to this salon, yesterday was my first visit and not the last.

Hello and Good Evening Little ones! How are you all? I've been filming and typing away today, just about to head out to dinner, but before I do that I wanted to tell you how my experience was with Greys yesterday. Some of you may be aware that I'm in the process of dying my hair grey balayage, it's going to take a few more goes but the process yesterday was fantastic ... You hear some horror stories on the internet, and this isn't one of them' time to spread some positive. If you are planning on getting your hair dyed and don't know where to go, then have a little read of this.   

Check out my recent blog giveaway click here!

Where do I start? The consultation? Yes ... Consultation! I was on my lunch break (only get 30 minutes) and I was researching where to go, didn't want to go to Stoneshills as last time was awful-I'll let you know in another blog post if you are interested.
Where I live there isn't much, but a BUNCH of: hairdressers, coffee shops and charity shops, so I seeked out Greys and went in there. I'm a very anxious person and get nervous when booking appointments, but as soon as I went in there, they greeted me with a warm smile and started a casual conversation. I told them what I wanted and they booked me a consultation right then and there! My hairdresser Claire walked me through the process and stated that it would take a few goes for my hair to turn that colour ... Which I thought was extremely helpful! She also did a skin test, and took a piece of my hair and showed me what colour it would go, again I hadn't even given her a single penny and she was treating me like royalty. Right off the bat I knew I was walking into the right place. It only took 10 minutes, I even had time to finish my lunch and visit my boyfriend, (we work in the same shopping centre).
Two days before I was due to go to my appointment Claire phoned me and said, "would you like to come in earlier, as you have thick hair". Of course I said yes! I was so excited! And I was so happy with the service as she actually thought about me, and offered if I wanted to go in earlier ... I was falling in love and was so content and I hadn't even had my hair done.

It was time! I walked into Greys at 12:00pm and Claire was there waiting for me ... I love people who are dead on time, I have so much respect. Me and her clicked, it felt like I had known her for years, the conversation was constantly flowing, I didn't feel awkward at any point. There was a point where I told her where I worked, which is a phone shop, and she was actually a customer at the phone shop I work at. Because I really like her, I thought that I should give her my friends/family discount .. I really hope that she comes in a day that I'm working, just because she's such a lovely person.
In terms of her work, she did an amazing job! Just watching her looking after my hair, and making sure that what she was doing was perfect was amazing. She never left me alone at ANY point, she was always there to make sure that the dye wasn't on for too long. Something that Stonehills was awful for! I went there a few months ago, and the "top" guy left me on my own, I had a massive panic attack thinking that my hair was falling out ... He left me for an hour on my own ... With BLEACH in my hair ... You can see why I wanted to change.
Anyhow, when it came to washing my hair she did it so gently, nearly made me go to sleep! She also used hair products that I wanted to buy; so it was like try before you buy. Claire was just amazing at her job, so lovely and kind! She's been doing her job for over 10 years, and damn my hair looks amazing because of her!
I was so thankful, and will always be! She's going to be my staple hairdressers for a while! I have another appointment booked in with her in Feburary, and I can't wait to see her again, and the team! They were all so attentive and kind ... I don't mind paying extra, simply because I get the service alongside.

I would highly recommend this salon, if you don't mind paying a little extra then you will love the experience. I had the full package done, dying my hair took a very long time ... 4 hours, and Claire made the experience amazing. To keep my attention, and a conversation flowing for that long on both behalf's was fantastic.
I hope that the team in Welwyn see this, you are all so lovely! Wouldn't mind working there myself!

Anyhow! This is now the end of the blog post, I hope you enjoyed reading this! I sure loved writing it! I hope you all had a lovely day, I will see you again very soon! I love you Little Ones! Stay safe and stay tuned :) x x x

Estee Lauder Lipstick Review

Estee Lauder 120&370 Lipstick Review

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Estee, I have only recently purchased some of their lipsticks, I have tried their make-up before, but I fell in love with their lipsticks. Everything I'll be writing is 100% true, it's just my opinion.

Hello and Good Morning! I'm back again! It's lovely to get into the flow of things! I've enjoyed my Christmas break, but I've missed sitting down and writing: reviews, recipes and advice blog posts! It's a chilly morning today, I have the heating on full blast; and rocking out my bunny slippers ... So cosy it's unreal! Any how, as you know Christmas has flown away, very upsetting, but with that I've been treating myself, I'm lipstick OBSESSED! My collection is silly but they're gorgeous; I recently picked up these Estee Lauder ones and I've fallen in love. I've never had a red shade, simply because I didn't think I could pull if off, but DAMN let me just say ... They are stunning!
Sorry for rambling, if you want to see a detailed review, instead of me spilling words onto a page, then have a little read down below :).

Check out my recent blog giveaway click here!

PRESENTATION:

Iridescent. It’s like you are holding a lipstick shaped sapphire, it gleams in the sunlight and screams natural beauty. Estee Lauder have a wonderful reputation of creating eccentric products, and these lipsticks are no exception. When I first unleashed these beauties from the cardboard exterior I was stunned by how beautiful and compact they were, you can carry these around with ease! The gold and navy-blue represent the true Estee Lauder colours, you know you are receiving luxury when you see these statement shades. On the other hand, when I took the lid off, I was stunned that it was magnetic … Yes MAGNETIC! They had gone through the trouble of paying such close attention to detail that they inserted a magnetic mechanism; which ensures a tight lock; sometimes with click-on lids it can come undone in your bag; whereas this is locked tight, no need to worry about lipstick going all over your bag. Other than that, I feel very opulent and loved when I pick up this lipstick, I know that my well-earned money has gone towards a fanciful company.

In addition to this, when you un-click the lipstick, you are met with the stamp, ‘Estee Lauder’ on the side, just to remind you that they are always there for you, it also makes it very personal. I also noticed that the actual lipstick was sharp like a bullet … WHICH I ADORE! It makes it easier for a smooth application, and precision, I tried using this without a lipliner and it was so easy! 

THE PRODUCT:

In regards to the lipstick, perfection! It glides on silky smooth which is a must for me! Before discovering higher-end lipsticks I struggled finding a product that didn’t feel like chalk … But this is beyond wonderful, and the pigmentation is stunning! One swipe and a burst of colour is applied to your lips … When I say, this I mean it, no more than one swipe otherwise you will transfer like crazy! Believe me my boyfriend learnt the hard way … Constantly staining his cheek.

Estee Lauder use the key ingredient seed oil, this is what makes the lipstick stay together, as well as glide like butter. This is what I love about their formula, it doesn’t dry out your lip, especially when this is a matte lipstick … And that’s also true to their statement. Both colours are matte, and gorgeous colours. They suit all skin types! I was always worried about trying a red lipstick, as I’m deadly pale; but these two work really well with my skin tone. 
On the other hand, the staying power on these lipsticks were insane! I could have them BOTH on all day long, and would only have to re-apply once, and that was due to eating and drinking throughout the day. Normally when I take a few sips of my drink with other lipsticks, it clumps up together which is disgusting, whereas this doesn't move! Defiantly a plus in my books, and I'm very hard to please ... In terms of lipsticks anyway.

THE PRICE:

Now let’s talk about price. It’s not cheap, but if you are willing to go the extra mile and make sure that your lipstick has great pigmentation, staying power and easy to apply; then I don’t think you’d mind spending, £25.50. Yes, that is the retail price of this lipstick, but if you are a lipstick collector like me; and you feel like lipstick is a stable to your final look, then I would HIGHLY recommend this product!

This is the BEST collection of lipsticks I have ever tried, and I have Mac, Chanel and YSL. But these Estee Lauder ones are my staple, I’m wearing them to death at the moment.
If you are interested in purchasing these lipsticks click the link below, there are other shades there as well, if red isn’t for you.

This is now the end of the blog post! I hope you enjoyed this little review, I've missed doing these ever so much! Also if you didn't know I now have a YouTube channel! I listened to your requests and I have finally created one! I will be doing vlogs/challenges on there! It really does depend on what you want me to do. I will be putting up a vlog either today or tomorrow as I'm getting my hair dyed today! I already have a video on there, if you want to check that out I will leave the link down below for you :).
Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones! I love you so very much! :) x x x

Product review-Hugo Boss

Hugo Boss Orange Women Eau De Parfum

Hello! I'm ever so sorry that this has taken a few days to post, I have been undergoing serious issues, of which I can't disclose just yet; but when I can I will write about it :).
Anyhow, how have you all been? What did you do yesterday and what are you planning on doing today? Let's cut to the chase! If you are a perfume addict then you will love this blog post! Have a little read and relax :).

PACKAGING:

Undoubtedly enchanting. The enriching peach crystal bottle is breathtaking, it reminds me of a bundle of peaches laying before my eyes, in a perfume formation. The bulbs arising makes it plump and brings it all to life; especially when the lighting catches it ever so slightly. When I hold this within my grip I feel expensive and important. It's ever so delicate, but completely beautiful. I adore the rose gold cap placed at the top of the perfume; it's a crown on importance, and in my opinion this one has indeed won the prize. Consistency is the correct word. Everything corresponds to one another, for example, the fruity exterior, golden crown, and shiny execution. All tied in together with the classical Hugo Boss logo on the side. Matt black, it stands out from the crowd, high and mighty. If I were Hugo Boss I'd be doing the same; this is a beautiful looking product, they should be proud to of created this masterpiece. In regards to the blanket that protects this beauty, it matches the perfume to a T. The rose pink cardboard, with the shiny golden font screams opulence. And is repeated when you hold this perfume with your bare hands.

THE PRODUCT:

Just like the packaging ... Flawless. As soon as you spray this onto the skin, the scent of a musky rose comes in to play, as well as a sweet and daring flavour. It smells expensive, and represents a massive sex appeal. When I put this on in the morning, it reminds me of my boyfriend Chris kissing me and looking into my eyes. This is what I always wore when we first met, and I still wear to this day.

This perfume lasts such a long time, because it's the Eau De Parfum version it's so much stronger in comparison to the Eau De Toilette. Meaning that the staying power is intense; a little goes a long way ... And I mean that. Two or three sprays will set you for an 8 hour day on the go. 

On the other hand, I feel that this is such a natural scent you can wear it for any occasion, especially dates, simply because it's not overpowering, and it won't make the other person feel sick.

I wish that you could smell this currently, it's purely amazing! Although you can always head into your local Boots or John Lewis; they constantly have this on display for you to have a good spray.

THE PRICE:

This perfume retails for £47.00. This may sound a lot for perfume, but not for me. In my opinion this was completly worth the money. I purchased this bottle in September last year ... It's lasted me an entire year, and I still have more in the bottle. Previously, I bought the Eau De Toilette, and it only lasted me 5 months, it was the same 50ml, but I had to spray more because it didn't last as long, plus that one alone retailed for £43.00, only making it £4 cheaper! Plus I had to buy a second version because they didn't have the stronger one in stock. 

In my opinion, if you like the smell of it, go ahead and treat yourself, it's stunning and it makes you feel confident. 

This is the end of my blog post, thank you so much for reading this, I'm very sorry that this took so long to post, as mentioned previously so much has been going on that I can't currently disclose on here. But hopefully I will be able to write about that in a separate blog post :).

I love you all so very much! I can't wait to see you tomorrow! I'm letting you guys decide what I post :).
Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones :) x x x

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by YESto to do this review, this was long overdue, this is just my solid opinion.

Have you seen my giveaway? If not click here! 

Good evening Little ones, how have you been today? I know that I have! Several meetings, and I've just come home from Chris's parents (boyfriend parents); and had a lovely dinner :).
This was an overdue review, I have used YESto Cucumber facial wipes for 2 years! I was introduced to them by an American friend and I was gutter that they weren't in the UK until I went to Waitrose one day ... AND THEY WERE THERE! I feel in love from that moment, and I haven't used anything else since. Obviously I've tried out all of YESto facial wipes; but these are my ultimate favourite.
If you want to find out detailed information on this product and what I think about them; have a little read below; and enjoy :).

If you want to read another review, click here!

PRESENTATION:

SHOWSTOPPING! I am completely blown away with the packaging, it's perfect! The vibrant and positive lime green is rather fitting with the fresh cucumber. It interlinks perfectly, and it shows. It shines YESto in a positive light' as they are a well composed and organised business; who likes to think about why they have packaged their products in this manor. They are consistent throughout their brand, for example, the blueberry wipes are a rich deep purple; which corresponds to the blueberries. In addition to this, I adore the matte finish, by doing this it adds opulence; and makes me feel that I have purchased a high end product; which in my mind is. On the other hand, I find the message, "wipe that smile ON your face" absolutely thrilling. First and foremost, I love that they have interlinked the phrase with the product, thus the 'wipe'. They want to make you feel beautiful and content inside; when I use these every morning it feels me with happiness and reminds me that I have bought into a fantastic brand. In regards to the convenient plastic tab, I think it's genius, unlike other facial wipe brands, for example Olay; they have a sticky seal; in my mind that rubbish and poor quality, as overtime that seal will loose it's stick. Whereas YESto have always used a plastic click in place tab; this ensures that your facial wipes will never dry out. On the other hand, the font is simplistic and easy to read, for someone that has trouble to read small writing; (me) this is a godsend! I can actually read and understand what it states on the packaging; which is a bonus, as sometimes I won't have the patience to read; especially if I'm in a rush! Top points for YESto cucumber!

THE PRODUCT:

These wipes are made from FSC certified fabric, which makes these wipes super soft and non-irritable for the skin. I have VERY sensitive skin, if these were causing rashes or making me itch I would not recommend this product! But these are perfect if you have sensitive skin; they don't scratch or burn my skin; unlike other facial wipe brands. On the other hand, because these wipes are enriched with green superfoods they naturally exfoliate, detoxify, and rejuvenate all-in-one. It also means that they are perfume free! Which is a massive bonus if you have dry and sensitive skin! Not only are they heavenly soft, but they don't smell fake, instead they smell like refreshing cucumbers; just like it states on the packaging. When I use these in the morning, they wake me up and remind me of why I am vegan, and why I should stay healthy as it's such a fresh scent. 

HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT:

1. When I wake up, these are the first things I go for, I take them out of the packet and wipe it around my face in circular motions; this wakes me up and brings the blood to my face; 
2. I then tap in the cucumber essence and wait for a few minutes; 
3. I then continue with my normal skincare routine.

PRICE:

Fundamentally, you can now purchase these in several places, for example, Boots, Waitrose, John Lewis etc. I bought mine from boots and they retail for £3.99! This is a fantastic price, and they are now on deal for £2.66! If I were you I would run in and buy as many as I could; I know that I stacked up on 7 packets; may seem excessive, but some are for holiday and the rest for university. I also use these everyday twice a day. They are completely worth the money, and in all honesty they aren't much more expensive than other decent facial wipes, and you get more in this packet! 25 wipes! That's amazing and super convenient; as you don't have to buy them constantly.

Disclaimer: I am not being paid by Estee Lauder, I just simply love this foundation, and I want to write a positive review on this product.

Hello again my lovely people! I am here again, but this time I am writing a review on a new favourite of mine! I bought it recently and I've fallen in love! It's now a staple in my life and I want to share my thoughts, feelings and detailed information about the product.

If you wish to find out more, have a little look read and enjoy! :D

PRESENTATION:

Estee Lauder has always presented their products in a beautiful manor, it signifies opulence and a great passion for higher end beauty. The hint of golden essence is essential to their brand; this is what they are all about; it makes me feel rich and flawless; as I know that I have sunk my money into a great company. In regards to this foundation I love the matte glass bottle, it's something I don't normally see with foundation, in comparison to my YSL youth liberator foundation, that's in a plain glass bottle, and for my MAC Studio Sculpt, it's in a plastic tube. Estee Lauder has upped the foundation packaging game! They are unique and fabulous. They are one of my favourite beauty brands, their foundations are so creamy and easy to work with; but I'll explain the formulation later on in the blog post.
I feel that the font is clear and easy to read, which is handy for people that don't have very good eyesight. In addition to this, the font matches the golden lid, and is consistent with their iconic brand scheme. This tells me, that Estee like to keep their products consistent throughout, they are a well organised and thought out brand. By linking all their products together by having the same colour it would not only depreciate them from any other company. But it would give them a better reputation as they have always kept the same theme. That's what I love most about Estee, they do what they know best. 

THE PRODUCT:

First and foremost, there are no harmful chemicals or fragrance in this product, which is perfect because not only is this great for sensitive skin, but for all skin, it won't cause any irritation. When I was using the YSL youth liberator foundation the fragrance they put inside the product made me rash. However, after using this foundation I can tell you that this doesn't happen with this! The formulation is creamy, and has a great liquid consistency. As shown in the pictures above, you can see that it's not too runny, it's not sliding off my hand; but it's thick enough that it stays in place. 

I apply this with a damp beauty blender, it's easy to blend and looks fantastic when it sets, in regards to skin type; I'm dry. It's a matte finish foundation, but it works brilliantly with dry! My skin is so dry at the moment that I'm flaking. This foundation does not stick to certain parts of the face, I have worn this a few times now and the staying power is amazing!
After 3 hours of wear I was not creasing, and it was still matte. 

After 5 I started to notice my forehead, and the sides of my nose getting shiny; but that was about it.

After 7 hours slight separation around my nose started to happen, it highlighted my pours, but nothing major.

Estee offer a smashing 44 shades, this is perfect for all skin colours, which is perfect! I'm in the shade 1C0 Shell, that's the lightest shade in yellow tones. This is perfect for my skin colour, finding a foundation in my shade is near enough impossible, as they appear too yellow or orange. 

The coverage is perfect! It's medium and high coverage, it builds really easy, you don't have to blend for hours on end :'). 

The only negative aspect I have about this product would be that there is no pump provided, it's not a massive error, but I prefer a pump, it makes it easier to distribute; but other than that, it's my go-to foundation.

HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT:

1. Exfoliate your face with your desired facial scrub;
2. mositurise;
3. prime with your favourite primer;
4. dip your beauty blender or brush in the product and blend into the skin;
5. wait until dry and apply another layer if need be.

PRICE:

This foundation retails for £30, you get 30ml, which is more than enough for 3 months. Think about this, £10 a month. You would spend that amount on a drugstore foundation, but this is amazing quality, and doesn't contain harmful chemicals. I feel like this is a great value for money, you are buying into a great brand, which don't test against animals. 

This is the best foundation that I have ever tried! And I have tried a few higher end foundations, this was not a waste of money; and when I run out I'm sure I will buy another bottle.
