I'm back! I had a little break from blogging because I just needed a bit of time for myself. To be fair, lately I just didn't enjoy blogging as much as I used to. I constantly had to review, write, photograph, edit, post and keep up with my social media which is a lot of work on top of my other responsibilities. I don't want my blog to feel like another responsibility though, I started it to vent from every-day life - I've always enjoyed writing as my little meditative activity but lately it's been anything but that.

Anyways, new year and new beginnings - I've decided to keep my blog a little bit more "me", meaning I will only write about what I want to write about, whenever I feel like it. Today I was going through my photos, organising them into folders and decided to pick out my favourite products in 2018, because I've done so many reviews and it really made me want to bring out some of the most amazing stuff I've been so lucky to review.

Hei kallid, olen tagasi! Tegin vahepeal väikese puhkuse blogimisest, sest vajasin aega iseendale ja pidin oma prioriteedid paika seadma. Viimasel ajal ei nautinud ma blogimist enam nii palju kui varem, olin väsinud lõpututest ilutoodete hunnikutest vannitoas ja nende katsetamisest, pildistamisest, kirjutamisest ja postitamisest. See tohutu ajakulu lihtsalt ei õigustanud end enam ja olin unustanud kui palju ma nautisin kirjutamist asjadest, mis mind tõesti inspireerisid.

Alustasin oma blogi juba 4 aastat tagasi ja seda eesmärgiga oma mõtted nö. paberile panna ja igapäeva elust veidike eemal olla. Viimasel ajal tundus see aga rohkem nagu täiskohaga töö ja kohustus. Seega otsustasin ajas tagasi minna ja oma blogile veidi naturaalsema, mõnusama vibe anda, seega nüüdsest kirjutan ainult sellest, millest tahan ja seda ükskõik millal!

Täna puhastasin siin oma arvutit ja organiseerisin oma fotosid. Eelmine aasta tegin ära suure töö ja arvustasin väga palju tooteid, seega otsustasin 2018 aasta postitused ilusti ka kokku võtta ja siin on siis minu lemmikud!

My absolute number one favourite collab in 2018 has to be with Pixi Beauty! I have followed this brand forever and I love everything they do, I think they're innovative, nature-friendly and absolutely fabulous. I got quite a few PR packages from them and it's truly hard to pick favourites because I honestly liked every single product. You can read my previous post about Pixi here...

Minu täielik lemmik koostöö eelmine aasta oli brändiga Pixi Beauty. Olen seda brändi juba aastaid jälginud ja olen nende suur fänn, arvan, et nad on innovaatilised, loodus-sõbralikud ja igati suurepärased, kuna tegelen ise turundusega siis olen vapustatud ka nende turundustegevustest ja kommunikatsioonist. Sain nendelt päris mitu PR pakikest ja ausaltöeldes on siinkohal väga raske lemmikuid valida, sest mulle tõesti meeldisid kõik nende tooted. Rohkem saate Pixi kohta lugeda ka minu eelmisest postitusest siin...

Their Glow series is amazing, especially the Glow Tonic which I got in a massive personalised package, I promise that it's truly worth the hype! I also loved the Glow Overnight Serum, Glow O2 Mask, which is a perfect little helper before a big night out and the Glow Spray Mist, which travels with me everywhere! Pixi Beauty is for everyone, suitable for all skin types and not super overpriced. The products themselves are such good quality aswell! I 100% recommend them to you guys and if you don't know what to pick, just try out the Glow series, it's magic!

Pixi Glow seeria on tõesti seda hype väärt, eriti nende Glow Tonic, mis nende kogu tootevalikust kõige populaarsem on. Eriti meeldis mulle see hiigelsuur personaliseeritud pudel, mis nad mulle saatsid, no kui äge! Glükoolhappega rikastatud toonik tõmbab naha mõnusalt siledaks, ühtlustab nahatooni ja tõesti annab ilusa kuma ja sära! Glow seeriast meeldisid mulle väga ka Glow O2 mask, mis on enne väljaminekut perfektne abiline, Glow Overnight Serum ja Glow Spray, mis minuga igale poole kaasa reisib. Pixi on sobilik kõigile nahatüüpidele ning need tooted on tõesti kvaliteetsed. Lisaks tulevad nad igal hooajal välja uute ja eriti põnevate toodetega... 100% soovitan!

My second favorite collaboration was with a brand called Repechage. This collaboration has a special place in my heart because not only did those products get me through the worst time for my skin, but I also made a friend who is the most amazing cosmetician. She helped me understand why I've been struggling with skin problems my whole life. I went through a whole challenge with Repechage, which you can see from here, and I'm so happy I did because today I no longer suffer from annoying imperfections. I suggest anyone having trouble with their skin, try these products out and defenitely visit Anu @Yin Yang Tervisesalong.

Previously I had relied on La Roche Posay, which is also an amazing pharmaceutical brand for troubled skin, but Repechage Hydra Medic series was just so much more gentle towards my skin. Those products consist of powerful antioxidants, sea mud and natural extracts which deep-cleanse, regulate oil production and leave your skin super soft and smooth. If any of you guys tried those out after following my challenge, let me know what you thought!

Minu teine lemmik eelmine aasta oli sari nimega Repechage. Sellel koostööl on üldse minu südames väga eriline koht, kuna mitte ainult ei aidanud need tooted mind läbi kõige hullema perioodi minu naha suhtes vaid leidsin ka maailma parima kosmeetiku, kes tegi mulle lõpuks ometi puust punaseks, mille tõttu mu nahk üldse selline on ja kuidas seda vältida. Siit leiad ka minu challenge, kus on ka fotod minu nahast 4 nädalase kuuri jooksul.

Selle sarja ainulaadsed koostised sisaldavad antioksüdantset tee segu, meremuda ja taimseid ekstrakte, mis sügavpuhastavad nahka vähendamaks rasu eritust ning jättes naha samaaegselt pehmeks ja siledaks. Varem olin kasutanud La Roche Posay Effaclar sarja, mis on samuti suurepärane sari, aga Repechage tooted olid minu naha vastu lihtsalt nii palju õrnemad ja tõesti aitasid vaid lühikese perioodi vältel, loomulikult koostöös õige toitumisega. Kõigile, kes oma nahaga jännis on, soovitan külastada Anu Yin Yang Tervisesalongis ja proovida just Repechage tooteid.

Next up, my super silky pillow from Silk Luxury. This is by far the best thing happened to my sleep, hair and skin all together. I can't tell you enough how much of a difference one pillow can make. You can read more about it here, but there's not much to tell to be fair, it's just a very luxurious pillowcase made of special silk, which is a real treat for you, promise!

Järgmisena pean kindlasti ära mainima oma siidist Silk Luxury padjapüüri, mis on terve pere lemmik ja no tõesti must-have! Sellest padjapüürist saate lähemalt lugeda siit, aga ega siin muud ei olegi öelda, et tegemist on erilisest siidist materjaliga, mis hoiab nii juuksed kui ka naha ilusa ja tervena, pealegi ei ole uni kunagi nii hea olnud!

A big newcomer last year was -417, which is a luxury brand inspired by the deepest points of the earth, that's where the name comes aswell. I don't really review much hair products because I don't have luscious hair to test them on, my hair is just a big mess, but those products were real superheroes. They made my hair silky-soft and gave them a nice volume, which is quite remarkable considering that most of the hair products just make my hair limp and greasy, especially conditioners, so I was very pleased with these and could recommend to anyone! In the future, I would love to try out more of their face products because I went to their launch-event and they really caught my eye, especially that magnetic mud mask - fascinating.

Üks kihvt uustulija oli -417, mis on luksusbränd inspireeritud maa kõige sügavamatest ookeanidest, kust tuleb ka sarja nimi. Ma ei ole suur juuksetoodete arvustaja, kuna mul ei ole kauneid juukseid, mille peal katsetada. Juustega mul tõesti vedanud ei ole, aga need tooted jäid mulle küll meelde, kuna muutsid mu juuksed mõnusalt kohevaks ja läikivaks. Enamus palsameid teevad mu juuksed jube rasvaseks ja peadligi hoidvaks, aga need -417 omad lähevad tõesti eelmise aasta lemmikute listi. Mõnusa lõhna ja tekstuuriga, suured pudelid ja esimest korda elus ei pidanud ma oma juukseid IGA PÄEV pesema. Kindlasti tahaksin proovida ka nende näohooldustooteid, sest nende launch-üritusel jäi mulle paljut ägedat silma, nagu näiteks nende magneetiline mudamash, uuh...

I don't want to drag this post on for too long but there's one more I'd like to bring out and that's Whamisa from Natural Goods Company. I have always been fascinated with Korean beauty products and these are truly worth trying out. These products are loaded with antioxidants to protect your skin from daily damage and the ingredients are fermented with Whamisa's signature process to preserve their natural benefits and maximise effectiveness. Those super gentle formulas and innovative products make skincare so much fun so if you're a big fan of natural, I'd recommend to give these a try! You can read more about these here...

Ma ei taha seda postitust pikaks venitada, aga tooksin välja veel Natural Goods Company uue brändi Whamisa! Olen suur Korea kosmeetika fänn ja just need tooted jätsid mulle igati positiivse mulje. Naturaalsed ja fermenteeritud tooted on naha vastu väga õrnad ning sisaldavad hulgaliselt antioksüdante, mis kaitsevad nahka igapäevaste keskkonnafaktorite eest. Innovaatilised tooted ja super koostisosad toovad ka need minu lemmikute hulka, seega soovitan kindlasti proovida, sest korealased lihtsalt teavad kuidas head kosmeetikat luua! Loe rohkem ka siit...

To wrap this up, Säde also wanted to say special thanks to Purina Estonia, who sent him a very thoughtful little surprise. He absolutely loved it and is very much enjoying all the attention!

Viimased sõnad soovis seekord Säde öelda ja ta ütleb aitäh ka Purina Eestile, kes ka teda eelmisel aastal meeles pidasid ja talle armsa pakikese saatsid! See maitses talle kohe liiga hästi...
