Welcome to the July edition of Connoisseur Reviews.
We are going to explore tea, candles, skincare, eyebrow palettes, and more in this month's review.
Tea Drops are an interesting concept... it's basically high-quality loose leaf organic tea pressed into a compact "drop". There are no tea bags and you can drop the tea right into your hot water. A bit of sediment forms on the bottom, but it is safe to drink. This would make a unique gift for any tea lover you might know. My favorite flavor was Rose Earl Grey, which is lightly sweetened with sugar.
The sample tea kit would make an excellent and unique novelty gift and is only around $14.
The Chai tea kit is very easy to make and so yummy.
Here is the Keep Calm and Remain Classy Mug, which is also in pink...
Baylis & Harding is the UK's number one decor display hand wash brand and they have just come to America. Baylis & Harding is big in England and I’m excited to see them here. Their Goodness Line‘s formulas are plant-based and vegan and sell for $5.99
The 4 scent options come in a generous 16.9 oz, 100% recyclable statement bottle and the fragrances really nice. My favorite is the sea kelp peppermint.

Mix Easy made-to-order skincare is a custom-order skincare company that allows you to customize your own blends to fit your skincare concerns.They believe one formula can't be right for millions of different people, so custom skincare formulations are the way to go.
Here is an example of just some of the natural ingredients you can choose from.
I ordered the orange scent in the cleanser and moisturizer and have enjoyed them for the past two months. Code JENNIFER15 for 15% off.
Barbados Grapefruit and Lime & Ginger Lily are limited summer releases from one of my favorite natural candle brands. These natural candles have very subtle scents and their understated decor looks great in any setting.
The next item I'd like to share with you is the Aesthetica Brow Palette, which I purchased from Amazon.
The beauty treatment I have missed the most during this quarantine is eyebrow threading. I get my eyebrows regularly threaded every three weeks and I haven't been since the beginning of March 😱
This has made for very unruly brows for me. Out of desperation, I searched for a good brow palette and came across this one, which also has stencils. It's what I needed! Now, I'm able to draw my brows in with some shape. I'm still considering microblading, so if any of you get it done, please let me know your honest experiences in the comments.
Pinrose Perfume Update (Code JSCOTT gives free shipping)
I completely love this perfume. My top three fragrances are Secret Genius, Mystical Misfit, and Merry Maker.
I purchased the travel size bottles of both Merry Maker and Mystical Misfit and have enjoyed blending and wearing those fragrances as well. If I would have to narrow it down two, Secret Genius and Mystical Misfit are my two personal favorites.
Merry Maker is very light and subtle, perfect for people who don't typically like to wear scent. It actually blends very well with Mystical Misfit. I know many of you ordered the sample packs. Which ones were your favorite? Don't forget to use the Code JSCOTT for free shipping.
I hope you enjoyed the reviews in today's video.

Comment of the Week
I normally highlight the positive and inspiring comments I receive in this section and I thank you for them. This week, however, I will address an email I received from a reader who was very upset that I do not regularly respond to the comments on the blog. I will not publish her email, but wanted to address it here. As most of you know, I am a homeschooling mother of four young children. Parenting, family life, and taking care of my home take up the majority of my day. The rest of the time I spend creating and working on this blog, my channel, and books.
Between the blog, YouTube channel, social media accounts, website contact form, and my eCourses, I receive hundreds of comments each day and am unable to respond to all of them. I generally respond to the blog comments every ten days or so. I believe that is better than publishing a canned response that would feel robotic and informal. I have also implemented the comment of the week feature on the blog in order to highlight interesting and inspiring comments. Thank you for your understanding. My family always comes first and I know that most of you appreciate that.
I hope you enjoyed this month's review. If there is anything you'd like me to review in the future, please let me know in the comments. Take care and I will see you soon!

I had microblading done two years ago and it was the best decision ever!! I do NOTHING to my brows now, just wake up and they are perfect! It’s so worth it!!
Our comments are responses to your videos and blog, so you are the one creating a connection with us in the first place. It seems impertinent for you to personally reply to everybody. I've been impressed with how much you do reply,and I appreciate that you said you do read many of the comments. I think the best way is to reply through your content, to what you see reflected in the comments of your viewers as a whole. That's how you've shown you do pay attention to your viewers. So there!
I am amazed at all you do Jennifer! I don’t know how you have the time! I’m a homeschooling mom of three and have no time! You are amazing! Keep it up:) thank you. Your blog is a bright spot to my day.
I have two children's CDs that I think you'd enjoy reviewing. They are so calming yet fun because the genre is jazz. They're by Diana Panton: I Believe in Little Things and A Cheerful Little Earful. I think both can be purchased on Amazon.
Hello Jennifer, I just finished reading your book Lessons from MADAME CHIC 20 stylish Secrets I learned while living in Paris!
I absolutely loved it, could not put it down!!!!! I especially loved that at the end you had the RESOURCES to go to that I so much appreciated because I did not have to keep going back to look for them. Anyway I had never heard of you or your blog until I read an article on the Epock Times {of which I have a subscription to now} I have always wanted to learn French but never had the time for it. My niece and her 2 daughters live in France but I never visited. Now after reading your book I want to get on a plane and visit Paris and do like you said, visit the unknown little shops and other places and not the usual touristy places. I just retired and will for sure look into taking french lessons at the community college. And again, thank you so much for writing this book. I had company last week and I took out the good dishes!!!! and plan on using them every day, no more paper plates for my family unless we are having a BBQ!
