A very popular request was 'January Favourites', so here it is. I have decided to twist it up a bit by not keeping it strictly beauty related, so I am going to mention a few favourites of the month in different categories, including: Art, Beauty/Skincare, Events, Fashion and Music.
Feel free to comment your favourites of the month and if you have any recommendations for me to try out in February! I would love to connect more with the viewers I have on sanz.shares and get to know you all as well as finding out what you guys would like to see from me in the weeks to come. For any requests or suggestions, please comment or contact me using the contact form on the sidebar. You can also message me on my social media accounts which are linked on the sidebar as well.
Art
- Agnes Cecile, the Italian painter, has been a favourite artist of mine recently because I feel as though her work is so beautiful and I've been loving her black and white paintings in particular. She uses watercolours, acrylic, ink and oil paints for her masterpieces and the style of her work is just so incredible. I plan to paint some copies of her work soon, so please check out her work and let me know which ones you'd like me to try out.
- Newspaper art has also drawn attention to me in the past month because I love the effect it has and I feel as though painting or drawing on newspaper adds a little twist to the artwork and it enhances the art even more above the background.
- Recently, I have been loving black and white photography with added colour. I think these edits on photography look amazing and makes the photos pop.
- One of my favourite lip products of the month is 'Viva Glam III' by Mac which is a matte lipstick. I have been loving this lipstick because it is such a deep winter colour and a very wintery shade. I definitely recommend this lipstick if you are into dark matte lips.
- My favourite skincare product of the month has to be the handcream I have been using: Sanctuary Spa Covent Garden hand cream. I have to keep my hands moisturised during the winter especially and this hand cream smells and feels so lovely.
- Another makeup product that I have been loving this month is the Stila concealer in 'Caramel.' I do think that this concealer is a bit sticky but once I set it with concealer it looks really good. This also highlights my ender eyes really well.
- I think one of my biggest favourite events this month has to be the beginning of my blog and also the vlogging on Snapchat - sanyhaax. This has definitely been my biggest highlight as it has changed me in a way and also it has made me realise that I am able to put my mind to things if I really want to. I do have big hopes on where all of this will take me in the future, In Shaa Allah. I have all of you to thank for this too!
- Habiba Da Silva replying to me this month for the second time in my life was also a huge highlight for me this month because she is my inspiration for a lot of things in life and if it wasn't for her, I maybe wouldn't have though about starting to start a blog. She wished me all the best for my blog and vlogging which I am forever appreciative of. If anybody can share this to her, then please do because it would been so much to me!
- This isn't really an event but, another thing that has been really nice for me this month is the new friendships and closer bonds I have made with those around me and also friends that I don't see. I feel as though I now know who is there for me to support me and I feel like I can appreciate them more, knowing that I haven't shown that enough.
Fashion
Music
- I don't usually change my hijab style during winter or any season to be honest unless I get bored of the same style but this month I have been trying out new styles which I have been loving. Hopefully I can make a blog post about different hijab styles soon!
- I have never been a very 'trainer type' girl but I have been loving so many trainers recently. I don't own many trainers at all but there are loads that I wish to purchase.
- Winter scarf wraps have been a well known trend this month which I have been loving this winter because they look so warm and the style is very practical.
- August Alsina Ft. Chris Brown - Been Around The World
- Kid Ink Ft. Jeremih and Fabolous - Rounds
- Zayn Malik - Pillow Talk
- Nelly Ft. Jeremih - The Fix
