Jillian Dempsey For Avon Horizon Blush

You may recall my babblings about Jillian Dempsey's new blush from Avon a week or so ago! Having temporary memory lost? Click here!





The Muse was lucky enough to test out this new blush and can I just say one thing, AWESOME! Oh my god it's my holy grail blush *holds it close and never lets it go*.

OMG isn't it pretty?




Ok you shouldn't be sitting here reading this anymore! RUN! NOW! Get to Avon and order it! It's awesome! It's on sale this week...am I tempting you yet?

Avon and I have a strange relationship. I pretend to hate it and it surprises me with sweetly awesome products!

This blush is sincerely amazing. I'm shocked and delighted at the quality, the price, the pigmentation, and the awesome packaging!

Let me start by saying that I'm hyperventilating a little bit because it appears that Avon only has this in one of the two shades. I could be in panic mode at any given moment if I'm unable to get the other color! In my possession I have Apricot Horizon but the blush is also available in Pink Horizon and I needs it, I needs it NOW!

I'm not sure if Pink Horizon sold out but I sincerely doubt it as it just hit the Avon site not a few days ago. Maybe it's just not yet in stock? Believe me I'm at a stage where I'm searching E-bay for it so you know I'm seriously into this blush right?

First of all let's give props to Jillian Dempsey for not only having a super hot husband but for also creating killer blush! I love you Jill, I love your husband more, but I definately have love for you after trying out this blush!

The blush is a gradation blush that gradually goes from a lighter shade to a darker shade in the compact. This basically means one side is really vibrant while the other is very soft. You can go from a daytime look to an evening look with a quick swipe of your blush! Both sides are extremely pigmented, silky, and beautiful on. Whether you want to use one side of the blush or mix it up and swipe across both sides you'll get a gorgeous splash of color. When I was testing this I felt like mixing the colors up gave me the best look. The color is entitled Apricot Horizon but I get more of a pink feel from it with a tiny underlay of a deep, sunset coral. If I use the left hand side of the palette I end up with a rather subdued natural look but if I use the right hand side I get a vibrant, yummie flushed look that I favor! As you know the Muse prefers her blush "popping"! If I mix the two up I feel like the lighter shade really calms the darker shade and I get the near perfect color that makes me look like I just stepped inside from a cold Winter's night! This is a look I favor so it's pure perfection for me!

Swatchy! (My cam takes crummy pics when it comes to swatches but hope this helps some!)




The compact is quite a lovely slick affair and when opened it has a large mirror with Jillian's signature on it. The blush is pretty large for the price of $7.99 USD (regularly $10 USD) so you do get quite a nice bit of product for under 10 bucks! It comes with a brush but it deserves to be said that the brush isn't all that great. It sheds and it's just too small to really work the blush correctly. If you use this to blend you must be a master artist because I ended up looking like a clown when I applied with it! A big, poofy brush is recommended for use with the blush in the Muse's humble opinion!

I have one very tiny minor rant about this. It's pure perfection in a compact however I found that when using my MAC 129 (or even the brush it came with for that matter) I ended up with major powder burst overload. Swiping the brush across the blush caused a major cloud of blush to spill everywhere! I'm saddened to think how much product I am wasting each time I use the blush :(

Now I'm going to tell you something that'll knock your socks off. Get two. Seriously I'm totally ordering another one of these bad boys. I dunno if this is LE but it's a safe bet to say in a month or so you probably won't find it on Avon so might as well get two while the going is good. It's rare I do backups on anything. I have far too much product to enjoy and buying doubles in my case is ridiculous. But I highly suggest grabbing two! I'm all over ordering another one and please for the love of cosmetics can we please see that Pink Horizon in stock soon? I'm dying here!

All I can say is fab job on this Avon and Jillian! I hope to see Jillian create more products for Avon like this one in the future!

This blush is most definately Muse Approved for purchase!
