My may favourites

I was recently watching a vlog that I haven't seen in a while by Blair fowler juicystar07 (I used to love watching her vlogs but then stopped when I moved) and it made me want to start showing what my favourite things of the month are.

Firstly my absolute favourite thing is my new makeup brush cleaner by no7 which I did a review of after the first initial use but now I have fallen even more in love with it. I never used to clean my brushes  but now that I do my skin looks so much fresher and healthier and I can only assume it's because where the old makeup was still.on the brushes there would be bacteria too which I now clean off. I can not recommend this product enough.

Secondly is my no7 lip crayon which I did not buy myself but got as a free gift when I purchased some foundation. It does dry my lips a little bit so I do use it with vaseline but the colour is perfect for the summer and seems to go well with my skin tone.

I also love my soap&glory archery brow tint and precision shaping pencil as it comes with both a crayon and a pen to fill my brows in with and is amazing! I think the colour was called brownie points, because I have very dark brows I tend to have to use the crayon more as the pen doesn't fill in as much as I feel it should but my brows still look natural.

I couldn't live without my revlon high lighting palette in rose glow. It is amazing for the summer, although I also want to try the more.golden one to make me look a bit more tanned. This product doesn't cake on so you control how pink it goes, and it looks very gorgeous! A lot of people have actually asked me about this product since I started wearing it.

Lastly my favourite may nail varnish I'd from the Barry m silk collection and is the colour heather. It is a pale lilac and is perfect for the summer, and also lasts about 10 days without chipping which is good for a normal nail varnish. 

That's it for the beauty products so now I will talk about my other may favourites.

My fave bag is still my pale pink river island satchel. It fits everything I need for work while looking stylish and very much in fashion right now.

My fave TV show this month has to be men at work. It is hilarious! It is basically about four American guys who work together and their life,  but it is what I assume all men are like when they are with their best mates. It is worth a watch although there aren't any men to perve on which is a bit of a downer.

My fave song is still timber by pit bull and kesha, I am a little obsessed with this and if anyone sees me in my car at 5am after I've dropped my fella off, you will probably notice that this song is on very high and I sing and dance along to it!

My favourite ice cream is bounty, it reminds me of holidays and I am in love with coconut! I once drank a cocktail out of a fresh coconut, as well as drinking the liquid (coconut water I think) straight from it on the island of women near mexico and fell in love. They are my fave summer thing and are the one thing that is guaranteed to make me smile!

That's all for may, if anyone has any of their favourite may things they want to share feel free to email me at mackembeauty@gmail.com or tweet me.

No7 makeup brush cleaner

I'm not gonna lie I am usually one of those people that just buy new brushes instead of cleaning my old ones- usually because I hadn't ever seen brush cleaner and someone's tip to use shampoo was stupid...well for me anyway. But then my fella bought me some proper amazing brushes and I don't want to throw them out. So I went on the hunt for makeup brush cleaner. 
I say on the hunt, what I really mean is that I Googled it and clinique came up so I went to town but boots didn't have any and then I happened upon one by no7.
It was cheaper than the clinique one and to be honest I wasn't expecting much.
It says spray some cleaner onto a tissue and wipe the brushes along it, O M G the amount of makeup that came off! It took me about fifteen minutes to clean them all which is amazing and now they all genuinely look as good as new. I will do a before and after pic next time I clean them as I was genuinely amazed.
It's only £8 in boots and is in the 3 for 2 deal atm so Is worth every penny!!

No 7 matte primer

I have been using this primer for a couple of weeks now, at first I was really impressed but now im unsure.
The primer is white in colour, and if you put too much on it does leave white marks on your face. It doesnt go on very smoothly, it seems to drag across the skin which isnt something ive come across in any other primer. I suppose it is how it tries to make the skin matte by drying it, but it makes it a bit more difficult to apply.
It doesnt seem to have a smell, or not one that ive noticed anyway.
It claims to ' stop shine for a matte finish and improves blemishes'. I have worn this both by itself (when I was just lounging around the house) and under foundation and I have noticed that it does keep the skin matte when used alone, but doesnt when under foundation. I have tried three different types of foundation, including no7, and it doesnt seem to make a difference. I am a bit disappointed in this as I had read some good reviews before I bought it.
I dont usually have spots but as some of you know I did get a few when I forgot to take my pill and this doesnt seem to have improved them (they have mostly gone now but this could be because I am taking my pill regularly again, and also use the clinique three step system).

Overall I dont think I would purchase this again as there are many other primers out there that work better.  It may be good for people with dry skin but as I have combination oily skin it doesnt work for me
