SAMANTHA RUE: Beauty

Beauty

I have had myself a little shopping spree... not really because at the moment I cannot spend from after the Holidays but it's always fun to window shop right? It's actually is very sad to window shop yet here I am always looking at clothes I cannot have but maybe you are in the market for some new items so I put together everything that is in my shopping bag at the moment.

I LOVE H&M and I think they are honestly underrated. I feel like I went from a teen who's store was Forever 21 to now H&M being my go to retail store. They are 100% my ideal style and I think they have very well made products that last me a a while.

So here is what is in my bag! All Items are shop-able under the "Shop" tab at the top of the page

As far as skin care products, I have been watching a lot of Skincare by Hyram videos, if you have not seen any videos from him and you're trying to nail down your skincare game, check him out. He has been my source and guide to all things skincare for 2020 and we are continuing that into 2021.

These are the products I am wanting to invest in this year and it's a lot so I may only be able to get a few but I have tried The Ordinary products and currently use them as part of my skincare routine and I love them and only want to get more but what is great, is that they are very well made and have the best ingredients in them and they are completely affordable!! For one serum you're looking at $6 sometimes $10 or a bit more or less! They are a great brand, as well as The Inkey List. They are great made skin care for a very affordable price as well but I have not personally tried products from this brand yet but very much want to.

These other items on this list are a bit more pricey but from what I hear, are great products to invest in.

If you follow any beauty bloggers on social media then I am certain you have heard about Function of Beauty. I definitely have and I've been wanting to see what all the hype was about so when they reached out to me to send over some product, I was so excited and immediately said yes.

If you don’t know about Function of Beauty, they create 100% custom made shampoo, conditioner, leave in treatment, hair mask, and hair serum based on your type of hair and your hair goals. I went on their website to take a little quiz of my hair and what I wanted in a shampoo and conditioner and I even got to choose the scent and color of my bottles!

My hair is wavy but I have seen my curl dull a little so I chose to have curl definition, hydration (cause who doesn’t love sleek hair), shine and strength.

I got my product in the scent Eucalyptus and it smells SO good and fresh! I love that you can make these products 100% customizable to your hair needs, goals, the scent and even what color you want the product to be! In your box you get sent stickers that you can put on your bottles and really make them your own!

I was very surprised to see and feel how thick the shampoo was and I don't think I rinsed it out 100% of the way because the next day my hair was a bit greasy so be aware of that aspect! My hair has yet to be greasy right after again so just make sure you wash it out all the way. The conditioner isn't like a traditional conditioner in the sense that it is super thick and it may feel like it isn't fully giving you that silky feeling like a normal conditioner would when applying it, but you will feel your hair silky once you rinse it out and when it has dried so don't be worried!

I have now been using this product for about 3 weeks and I absolutely love it! It has given my hair so much volume and wave and my hair feels really amazing! I don't ever want to run out of this product! I also love that is comes with pumps and a normal lid so if you are traveling you can put the lid on and nothing will spill out in your bag!

Overall I really love this product and hope that you guys try it out for yourselves!

I have got the best little post lined up for you today! I have been testing out the Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitening Kit for the past month and I am so in love with the results! I have been looking forward to this collaboration and luckily it came in just the perfect time for the wedding so I had a bright, white smile for our special day!

In the past, I have always used the Crest Teeth Whitening strips and they would always make my teeth so sensitive... who likes sensitive teeth?! That was one of the concerns I had with Smile Brilliant but with their Desensitizing Gel, I had nothing to worry about!

Before I go on any further, let me cover some of the basics.

Smile Brilliant is an at home, professional teeth whitening kit. No need to go to the dentist and spend a ton of money when you can do it right at home with Smile Brilliant.

They include everything for you! They supply what you need to make your molds, they send detailed instructions for you, and once you have made your molds you just mail them back to Smile Brilliant and they sent you your custom fitted whitening trays to get you started on your whitening journey.

It really works! At first I kept doing the steps wrong and not paying too much attention about drying out my trays before I put the teeth whitening gel in and I didn't dry off my teeth before I put my trays in because I forgot and so I wasn't getting the perfect results I thought I would but, when you do it exactly how the instruction paper says to do it, you see results within the first use!

I really wanted to start whitening because I am a huge coffee drinker! I have been drinking coffee since I was in middle school and to be honest, my teeth are still pretty white even after all of the years drinking coffee. I do notice however, that near my gums, my teeth are turning color and so I really wanted to fix that little issue. My photographer even said "you already have super white teeth" but I also really wanted to start using Smile Brilliant because of their Desensitizing Gel! I want the color of my teeth to progressively get whiter but I hate that with most whitening strips you get such sensitive teeth! This was super important for me!

Of course, this post wouldn't be complete if I didn't include a before and after picture of the results! I plan to continue to use Smile Brilliant because these are the best results I have personally seen with only using it a few times!

Smile Brilliant and I wanted to give you a chance to win one of these Whitening Kits valued at $149 so if you made it this far you are in luck and can enter our giveaway!

So it is no surprise that I was blessed with adult acne and the more I look around the more I realize I am not alone in this! When I started breaking out around 18 I was so bummed out because most of my friends were just getting clear beautiful skin from having breakouts in high school and I was just entering into that opposite season. I asked myself what I was doing wrong, what changed, wondering why I couldn't just be normal and have acne in high school when everyone else got it. Like I said, I look around me and realize I am not alone... thank God it isn't just me!

I partnered with Neutrogena to share a great new product that has been helping me and my skin for the past couple of days!

I have been testing out their new Acne Proofing Cleanser and the new Acne Proofing Scrub and they have been working wonders for my skin!

These cleansers is formulated with Clear Defend Technology and Salicylic Acid to fight against acne and scrub away dirt. This technology protects the skins barrier helping prevent future breakouts! Does it sound too good to be true? Well it isn't! This Oil-Free face wash is doing just what it claims and it makes my skin feel so refreshed and truly clean.

Neutrogena has always been one of those drugstore brands that I am always gravitated to and I would go as far to say they are my top pick when I am shopping at my local Target or CVS! I use their Moisturizer everyday, they have one of my staple face washes, and now this new cleanser that might make it to the top of my list. What I love most about this cleanser is that it is oil-free so it won't clog your pores!

You can get these two products now on their website! Click Here for Cleanser. Click Here for Scrub.

A Face Wash That I Am Loving

Todays post is one that I have been anticipating for about a month now and I am so excited that today is the day! I get to introduce a very important brand to you (that is of course if you don't already know how amazing this brand is) they have truly changed the way I look and feel in the best way possible! Can you tell I'm excited? Good! Because this is one of my favorite brands that I have discovered in a long time!

Hum Vitamins is a brand that I had heard about from my many Youtube friends but maybe like most of you, I just thought it was another boring vitamin brand. Oh how wrong was I?

You guys know that I never promote or write about a brand that I don't truly love because I am all about being honest and sharing my favorite brands with you, my friends! So here is a little story about how Hum Vitamins have changed my life and become apart of my routine!

About a month or two ago, I posted a long Instagram story about my skin and asking for your guys' recommendations on what I should do to improve my skin and clear my acne before my wedding. Unfortunately, I am one of those lucky ones that was blessed with adult acne (is the sarcasm jumping off the page?) After posting those videos I got a recommendation to take Hum Vitamins and how they have vitamins directed towards the skin. When I looked on their website I was amazing at how many of their vitamins are directed towards clearing acne, scars, rejuvenating the skin, and overall good looks, I mean who doesn't want to look good?

After reading their story it clicked.

"The idea of HUM was born out of Walter's personal struggle with his skin and breakouts. Years of trying topical products and prescription drugs had literally left him scarred emotionally and physically. Many of the drugs prescribed worked only on a temporary basis and the breakouts returned year after year. Walter always felt that there was a link between nutrition and his skin but research in the area was hard to come by, with the majority of dermatologists not trained in the field of nutrition. It was only after he met with one of London's most forward thinking nutritionists that he was able to fix his skin once and for all."

This brand is all about clearing your acne from the inside out and I just love that! I am all about naturally healing what is wrong with my body and it took me forever to get to a dermatologist and when I did they wanted to put me on a pill and I just was not about it!

When I first started to show interested in Hum, I saw that they had a quiz on their website to find the perfect vitamins for you! I took the quiz and got about 6 different bottles. After reading their ingredients and how they are to help with my skin, I narrowed it down to 4. These 4:

D A I L Y C L E A N S E: Helps clear your skin and body from toxins.

G U T I N S T I N C T: A potent probiotic that benefits your skin, health and beauty

OMG! O M E G A T H E G R E A T: Supports even skin tone, a healthy heart, brain and body (and no fishy taste!)

B A S E C O N T R O L: Key nutrients for critical good looks and health

What I love about Hum Vitamins is that they are gluten free, Non-GMO, and they actually have ingredients I can pronounce! Some of their ingredients include: Copper, Matcha Green Tea, Beetroot, Sunflower Seed Oil, and Grape Seed Extract to name a few.

When I reached out to Hum to collaborate with them, I told them which vitamins I was already taking and they recommended 2 more to compliment those. Those 2 are:

R E D C A R P E T: For glowing skin and shiny hair

F L A T T E R M E: Supports a flatter stomach and healthy digestion

They also gave me the Raw Beauty Green Superfood Powder that helps boost energy, radiant skin, and metabolism which is perfect for me because I am always feeling tired! I am not a huge fan of protein powders or any powdered drink but I have to say this powder is so good! I just put one scoop in 8 ounces of Almond Milk or in a smoothie and I got my daily greens for the day!

T H E R E S U L T S:

Can I be honest with you guys? I saw results almost immediately! Once I started taking my first set of vitamins that I listed at the beginning of this post, I could start to see an improvement in my skin, overall mood and they way I felt! Of course, the real noticeable changes started happening within a week or two. Below are some photos of my skin before and throughout the few weeks I have been taking Hum Vitamins.

Sorry for these uncomfortably close selfies of my acne (I am really being vulnerable with you) but I wanted you guys to truly see this brand is legit!

My acne always takes forever to clear all the way up and my skin isn't 100% better but it is definitely on its way to being there! Hum has helped my skin calm down in the sense that the inflammation of my spots has decreased immensely, the redness has gone down, and there have been no new breakouts since taking Hum.

Because I love Hum so much and I know you will love them too, you can get $10 off your purchase by using the code: 148CC1

Everything You Need To Know About MICRO-BLADING!

Happy Monday!

Do you ever get so busy and then you get blessed with the most random relaxation day that you didn't see coming? I had that experience on Thursday.

Recently, my life has become a lot more exciting and a lot more jam packed with things to do, places to go, and people to see. If you haven't read on my Instagram, then here is a glimpse: I've been working at my home church for almost 2 years now and I recently got promoted to do social media for the church. When I accepted this job 2 years ago, I always hoped it would lead into something that the Lord had for me but didn't really have any sight of what that could be and never did I think that I would be getting paid for something I use everyday and that I love to do. I've also entered into a new relationship with my boyfriend David (those words do not sound normal yet!) With everything coming together and happening a lot has been happening on my schedule. I have been so busy and rushing but also feeling confident and accomplished. I know that the Lord is really lining up my life for the future and to see His timing and His plan all come together is an incredible feeling.

With life getting all crazy on me, I feel like I haven't had any pamper time or "me" time. For months my shoulders and neck have been feeling anything but normal and I have had the same knot in my shoulder for about as long as I have been working at Calvary. My sisters boyfriend is a massage therapist and so I decided to book an appointment with him. Let me just say it was probably the most well spent hour of my entire week.. or month for that matter and I will be going back very shortly! Next on my "to do" list was to head over to Rapid Med Spa and get my OxyGeneo Facial which felt so amazing!

Do you ever feel that when you use an exfoliating face wash it isn't exfoliating enough but when you use a scrub or maybe a Clarisonic that it may be too exfoliating? Well, I have the perfect solution for you; The Konjac Facial Sponge. The Konjac Sponge is the perfect thing for a good yet gentle exfoliant.

If there is one thing that I will always love, it's dying my hair, but I can't stand some things about hair dye. I hate that stinging feeling that normal boxed dyes give me and that chemical smell that makes me feel so light headed. I recently dyed my best friend, Rachel's hair with the Naturigin Hair Dye and I was very surprised when I noticed that it didn't have that awful smell to it and when I asked Rachel her thoughts and review on the Dye she loved the fact that it didn't sting.

Have you guys ever heard that saying "You are what you eat"? Well, it is so true! What we eat comes out through our skin and if you are filling your body with nutritious food, your skin will reflect that.

I have been suffering from acne on my face for the past couple of years and even though it hasn't cleared, I can honestly say that my skin looks and feels better whenever I am eating healthier and I noticed that whenever I have a milkshake or fries or anything that just is not good, I break out a little bit more.

I have put together 5 foods that will have your skin feeling and looking great!

<<<<< Chia Seeds >>>>>

Chia seeds contain Zinc and Omega 3's. Zinc helps in fighting, healing, and preventing acne, while Omega 3's have strong anti-inflammatory properties and fight against wrinkles. These little seeds are exactly what your acne is needing! I love putting Chia seeds in my smoothies or in my water, they fill me up without me feeling too bloated.
