Outfits & Makeup of the Week | Ten-Item Capsule Wardrobe | A'DEL Natural Cosmetics

5:46 AM 2 Comments


I'm chronicling my fall outfits and makeup for the week in today's video. It's still sunny here in Southern California, so I am dressing with fall colors, but still with the weather in mind. I have been thoroughly enjoying my fall wardrobe.



Today's post is sponsored by A'DEL Natural Cosmetics. The owner of A'DEL, Arlene Dohtery, has been a long-time reader of The Daily Connoisseur. She is just lovely and not only is A'DEL a marvelous small family business, but the products are really outstanding too. Organic, natural and pure, this is makeup and skincare you can feel good about. Arlene gave us the code TDC20 for 20% off first-time orders. Thank you, Arlene!

As a fun challenge, I try out A'DEL's fall makeup each day this week to create beautiful smoky, yet natural looks.

The eyeshadows can be found here. From top left to right: Safari, Dusk, Ferris Wheel, Autumn. Bottom left to right: Brown Sugar, Espresso, Sahara and the cream blush is coral reef.


The lipsticks are cherry pop, memory making, southern belle, and serenade.


The Restore Body Butter is a luxurious body butter that boasts Mango Butter and Camellia Oil which are known for their restorative and regenerative properties. Sweet Thyme brings healing to areas that need a little extra indulgence. This body butter is so luxurious and moisturizing as are the two Blue Lagoon moisturizers. The oil is great to apply when getting out of the bath and I have been enjoying the face balm for its nourishing properties. You can find all of A'DEL skincare here.

Comment of the Week
On Saturday's Meme Review, Donna C writes, "Hi Jennifer. I am a child of the 50’s where we dressed up to “go to town”. But this reminded me of a funny story from my childhood. One time my dad was complaining about how mother looked and how we looked when he came home from work. The next day when he came home from work, mother had me dressed in my Easter dress with hat and gloves and my bother in his little suit and bow tie and sitting at the dinner table and mother was standing at the stove stirring dinner in a strapless evening gown. We all laughed and laughed. I am 71 and still remember that memory all these years later."

Donna, what a great memory. It sounds like you and your family had wonderful times together!

A'DEL Natural Cosmetics | Natural Home with Jennifer | Swatches + Le No Makeup Look Tutorial

11:13 AM 6 Comments


On today's Natural Home with Jennifer I have a lovely natural cosmetics line to introduce to you: A'DEL Natural Cosmetics. I found them on Instagram and reached out to Arlene, the owner, to see if they would like to be featured on Natural Home with Jennifer.



I love discovering these beautifully crafted artisanal products. A'del Natural Cosmetics is a lovely small business that deserves attention. Arlene has been so generous to give us 20% off with the code TDC20 (this excludes the sale of sample sizes).



Here are swatches of the lipsticks, which are beautiful, neutral shades. Ingredients: Certified Organic Castor Oil, Certified Organic Jojoba Oil, Certified Organic Beeswax, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Certified Organic Carnauba Wax, Certified Organic Shea Butter, Vitamin E Oil (non-GMO from sunflower), Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides



These are the swatches of the loose eyeshadow. Ingredients: Mica, Non-Nano Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides These shadows are so good and have no fallout. I'm wearing the shades bashful and xo in the video today.



The cream blush is very impressive. I have the shade peach here. It blends beautifully and lasts all day. This is the shade peach. Ingredients: Fractionated Coconut Oil, Certified Organic Arrowroot Powder, Water-Washed Quarry-Mined Unbleached Kaolin Clay, Boron Nitride, Certified Organic Carnauba Wax, Non-Nano Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides (in all shades), Mica (in Cherry Pink), Carmine (in Pink Melon and Cherry Pink)



The Moisturizing Facial Stick acts as a moisturizer and a primer for the foundation. Ingredients: Candelilla Wax, Mango Butter, *Avocado Butter, *Sunflower Oil, *Borage Seed Oil, *Perilla Seed Oil, *Cranberry Seed Oil, Vitamin E Oil (non-GMO from sunflower, Lavender Scent contains *Lavender Essential Oil *Certified Organic, Non Irradiated and Non-GMO



They have two different foundation options: the cream foundation Ingredients: Fractionated Coconut Oil, Certified Organic Arrowroot Powder, Unbleached Quarry-Mined Water-Washed Kaolin Clay, Rice Powder, Boron Nitride, Certified Organic Carnauba Wax, Non-Nano Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxide 77491, Iron Oxide 77492, Iron Oxide 77499 and the loose foundation Ingredients: Certified Organic Arrowroot Powder, Unbleached Quarry-Mined Water-Washed Kaolin Clay, Rice Powder, Boron Nitride, Non-Nano Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxide 77491, Iron Oxide 77492, Iron Oxide 77499 Set it all with the setting powder. The foundations are both great and I love their natural ingredients. I would recommend ordering the sample set to find your perfect shade.


Also featured: the eyeliner, which is so good! You can see in the video how nicely it applies.

The makeup brushes I use for the most part (with the exception of the eyeliner brush, which is from A'del, are by Osmosis Skincare).

Comment of the Week
Regarding the kitchen renovation, Karen writes, "Love, love it!! It really is amazing what newly painted cabinet doors can do. Would you be willing to share the source for your door pulls/knobs? That's something that we would like to update in our kitchen. I'm never sure what's "in" and what's "out" with colors for hardware like that. :)"

Hi Karen, the brass knobs and pulls are Bremen 1 from Hardware Resources. Thank you!

I hope you enjoyed today's Natural Home with Jennifer. I'll see you on Monday for an all new video! Have a lovely weekend.
