January Beauty Favourites | 2017

Hey everyone! The first month of 2017 is over already and thank goodness for that! January was such a bad month for me but finally it's February! It's mine and Leah's birthday in a matter of days now and I'm so so so excited! Today's post is starring all of these little beauties that kept me and Leah happy during the miserable month of January! Let's get started!

First up is the amazing Volume Colourist Mascara from Rimmel. Rimmel is always my go to brand when it comes to mascaras so when I saw that this mascara tinted lashes I just needed to have it. Lashes are a big part of my beauty routine these days. There is nothing better than long black fluttering doll-like lashes in my opinion!  This mascara doesn't make my lashes thicker but it definitely makes them longer. If you use this mascara over time, your lashes will gradually get tinted darker and I have already noticed a little difference! What's not to love about this product?
Next we have the NYX Matte Liquid Liner. We are girls that love our eyeliner and this one is so so so perfect! It's ultra black and it applies so easily! The applicator is a small brush and it makes it super easy to achieve the perfect cat eyes. This stays on for hours and it still looks perfect towards the end of the day. It doesn't crumple or crack on the lid like some of my other liquid eyeliners! This is just the best eyeliner ever for all the liquid eyeliner junkies so you just need to get it!

Tigi Bedhead deep conditioner is just a treat to use. It smells just like toffee! I leave this conditioner on for a few minutes and my hair is left super soft and shiny and smelling so delicious! Another bonus is that it also protect hair colour from fading!
Me and Leah have also found a new love; The Body Shop! I have been obsessed with the Hemp range since getting it for Christmas. It smells so so nice and most importantly, my skin feels like silk! The lip oil is also a life saver and I have been applying it to my lips just before bed and I wake up with the softest lips.

The Stay Matte Not Flat foundation is the first one I've used from NYX and I am in love! The coverage is so perfect and the colour is so perfect for my skin tone. I have been feeling so bad about my skin recently but when I wear this foundation I feel so good about my complexion! I also love wearing Rimmel's The only matte lipstick in the shade 'Trendsetter'. This shade is perfect for dark eyes and the nude lips look which has been my go to look recently. The pigment is so amazing and this is the only matte lipstick that I love!

Are these any of your January Favourites too?

Heartache

Heartache T-shirt - H&M

Lace Leggings - River Island

Knee High Socks - Primark

Boots - River Island

Sorry for the lack of pictures for this post! The pictures turned out really dark and blurred but thankfully the three pictures that I have do this lovely outfit some justice! Notice anything different about me? I have another piercing! I got a medusa piercing last week and it hurt like fuck but look at how pretty and feminine it looks! For now I'm stuck with a boring old stud until it heals properly and then I can change it to a beautiful sparkling diamond. Keep tuned for a post on mine and Leah's medusa piercing experience that sound be up later this week on the blog.

Anyway, enough about that for now and onto the outfit! I love wearing over sized shirts as dresses because it looks so cool and edgy but I also feel comfy and it doesn't take much effort to style. I love the logo on this shirt, it says 'heartache' and I love the way it looks like it's spelled with flames. Thank god this shirt has sleeves though as I was so cold when we took these pictures!  I can't believe that this is from H&M as I've seen lots of similar t-shirts like this in topshop but so much more expensive!

Do you like wearing long tees as dresses too?

Elegant Stargirl

Blouse - Boohoo

Sliver Vest Top - Boohoo

Metallic Silver Skirt - Boohoo

Knee High Socks - Primark

Boots - River Island

I just wanted to say that getting these photos was a nightmare in this absolutely freezing cold weather! Yeah, I know it's January and it's meant to be cold but this is unreal! I'm even getting cold wearing my onesie at night...yeah, I thought that was impossible too! So, onto the outfit now and I'm loving black and silver combinations as you can tell from this outfit of the day! 

There is something so beautiful, stylish and super elegant about black lace blouses. This one in particular is fast becoming one of my favourites! I don't know why but the buttons and details on the front of this blouse really gives off a Japanese vibe! I love it, it looks unique and vintage/gothic at the same time. You can either dress this top up or turn this blouse into a casual yet chic outfit - what more could you want?

I am obsessed with this metallic silver Boohoo skirt although it's not one of my best purchases. It looks absolutely gorgeous and I love the different length of the skirt but the material feels flimsy and it even got a rip in the back the minute I put it on! I wasn't impressed. I think I'll be keeping this skirt for special occasions (or more outfit posts)!

Distressed Jumper

Distressed Jumper - Boohoo

Metallic Silver Shorts - ASOS

Knee High Socks - Primark

Creepers - River Island

I feel absolutely amazing in this distressed jumper! This jumper is right up my street as it's got a rock chick vibe and punky/goth look to it as well. I haven't got anything like this in my wardrobe right now so I was so pleased when Leah gave it to me as an early Birthday present. If you are a regular reader of Cyber Mermaids, you will know by now that our favourite shop in the whole entire world is Boohoo so your right in guessing that this fantabulous jumper is from also from Boohoo too! The quality of the jumper is amazing so I think I'll have this for years as it's quite thick material! I paired my metallic silver runner shorts from ASOS with this outfit. I can't wait to wear this look to a few gigs as I will be warm but I've also got a super amazing edgy outfit to show off in! 

What do you guys think of the distressed look?

Masquerade CZ Vamp Mask Silver Bracelet

A short but sweet blog post for today! This post is dedicated to my new beloved Vamp London Masquerade Mask bracelet. I decided to treat myself to this lovely piece of jewellery after spotting it on the Wongs website. I have been feeling so low lately and so far, 2017 hasn't had the best start at all. I will probably write a blog post soon on how I'm feeling and why but I can't write it right now as my emotions are just everywhere!

Anyway, I spotted this beautiful bracelet and decided to treat myself. I wanted something that I could keep for years to come and make a fashion statement with. Jewellery is a big part of my outfits and I have lots of rings and necklaces but for some reason, no bracelets whatsoever! This needed to change ASAP. Made out of sterling silver and featuring 53 round cubic zirconia, it couldn't get anymore beautiful. The mask charm is just gorgeous and so different. I have never saw a little mask charm like this one before so I might have to get the matching necklace too! This cost £70 which I didn't mind spending as I was in need of a pick me up and something beautiful! You can also get this is the colours yellow gold or rose gold!

Dream It Believe It

Velvet Dress - Primark

Knee High Socks - Primark

Socks - H & M

Suede Boots - Topshop

Do you see this super duper stylish, really cosy, ultra beautiful deep emerald green velvet sweat shirt dress? You'll never guess how much it cost. I'll just let you know because this is one of the best bargains I've ever came across and you'd be seriously missing out if you didn't rush down to Primark to find it or similar. This gem of a dress was just £3! Yes, you read that right. I absolutely adore the style of it. You know when you get an amazing over sized jumper and you never want to take it off ever again because you feel so comfy? Well, this is how I feel about this dress! It's so warm but so bloody gorgeous at the same time. I love the colour too, I don't think I have anything green in my wardrobe so this makes a really pleasant change from black! I tried to match my eye makeup to the dress using my Alice Through The Looking glass palette from Urban Decay.

''Dream It, Believe It''

I paired this sweater dress with my Marilyn Manson esque platform boots. I feel so tall when I wear these Topshop boots. It feels bizarre being in platforms because I usually feel like the shortest girl ever which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it's good to have height on some days! The platform heel makes these boots so much easier to walk in too which is always a plus.

TGI Friday on a Wednesday

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing great! Today we have got a bit of a different post for you all - it's all about our lovely day out to TGI Fridays on the 18th January. What's the occasion you may ask? Me and my lovely Matt have been together for a whole entire year! It feels so much longer because we've had so many memories together already but here is to many many more happy years causing chaos! I love you sooooo much Matty!
Being a twin sister to Rachel is such an incredible, special bond and Matt knows this more than anyone. He has absolutely no problem with going on the odd date or two with both me and Rach because he knows that me an Rachel especially are so close. He even bought us both Pandora birthstone rings for Christmas! Sweetheart.

Three is never a crowd and I was SO happy when the three of us all went to TGI Fridays for mine and Matt's anniversary. I was so excited to eat there because I've only ever been once before with Matt and it was incredible - Hot dogs are recommended, people! This time was no different. All three of us decided to get the classic American burger that came with crispy french fries - it was so lovely! I ate ever single bit of it - I nearly burst after our Rocky Road ice cream sundae! Because it's our birthday on the 7th February, we got a voucher to get our deserts free and that's exactly what we did. However, I'd wouldn't mind at all paying for the deserts because they were so delicious, creamy and sooo very indulgent. Mmmmm. TGI Fridays gets a massive thumbs up from us. I love the American feel of the whole place and the decor adds so much of a of American Diner vibe.
