The Budget Beauty Babe reviews a beauty palette that takes the guesswork out of finding makeup that matches. —BB

This week I was asked to test out the new Jillian Dempsey for Avon Essential Beauty Palette in Warm (see photos), and it is such a treat! This compact, easy-to-tote palette features makeup that has been perfectly matched to compliment one another. The Warm palette (which is what I tested), includes Ultra Color Rich Lipstick in Delicate Rose and Peony Pink, Jillian Dempsey Professional Cream Eyeshadow in Stone and Burnished Bronze and Be Blushed in Powder Pink. All the makeup comes presented in a lovely Moroccan inspired palette, which adds to the appeal.
I really loved the way the makeup moved, felt and wore on my skin. I’m a huge fan of cream eyeshadow, its buildable and much safer for your eyes (you don’t have powder falling into you eyes all day, which is especially dangerous for contact lens wearers). These two particular colors are fantastic. They are versatile and perfect for many skin types and many occasions. I really was impressed.
The lipstick was also a big hit! Creamy, soft and long lasting it felt like I was wearing a good quality lip balm and not lipstick (which always keeps me happy). My lips stayed hydrated and soft, and the shade really seemed to make my lips look fuller without it looking like I was wearing tons of makeup. The colors are beautiful and wearable. I also liked the blush that comes in the palette, it’s a subtle wash of color, and like the cream eyeshadow can be built up for a more dramatic effect.
All and all I really enjoy this palette, I think it’s the perfect thing for the holiday season, and comes in such a cute package (which also includes a mirror and lipstick and eye shadow applicator for beautification on the move!). I really think it's a fantastic find.
Also available in Cool, which includes Ultra Color Rich Lipstick in Sheer Red and Peony Pink, Jillian Dempsey Professional Cream Eyeshadow in Sheer Ice and Sheer Pink and Be Blushed in Golden Rose
Available: November 2008- February 2009
Price: $7.99

Is the blush cream as well? It kind of looks like it's cream in the avon.com picture but it looks like it might be powder from your pictures.
Thanks for the review!
