WOW phyllis! i’m just blown away!! you look absolutely amazing!
Absolutely gorgeous! Its such a pretty look.
Thanks ladies =)
Oh my goodness, girl! You’re looking fabulous — and I just love those lashes!
omg.
when I first saw the pictures you posted of the fashion show w/this makeup, I thought it looked strange and unappealing. however, it looks AMAZING the way that you did it. i don’t have your coloring so i doubt i’d reach for anything red near my eyes, but it looks so good on you!
by the way, i’m dying to buy your lashes.. are you still selling them?
I have to agree with the previous comment. The runway models looked pretty strange, but you really make the makeup look wearable!
I really like this look! Do you have recommendations for eyeshadow colors similar to the ones you used?
Aww thanks everyone! I’m glad you guys liked it =)
Yes Jen,
I still have some lashes available. I’ve been busy so I haven’t gotten around it but if you are still interested, just shoot me an e-mail!
Emily,
Here’s a picture of the Sleek Jewels Palette:

I’m pretty sure you can find similar colors at MAC or even the drugstore. I’ll post some alternatives later this week.
First time visitor here. =) Red is one of those colors I’ve never considered for eye makeup and am now tempted to get some. It looks great on you!
wow. i love this so much! beautiful. i want to go out and try reddish brown shadows now, they seemed impossible to pull off before i saw this post. you did a good job! thanks for the inspiration.
It looks great ! (:
hey! what blush are you using here?
Jessica,
I’m not wearing blush here. It’s just my natural flush.
Hi!
I love the colors in this Sleek I-Divine Palette in Jewels, especially the 2 you used. Please tell me where I can buy it in the US as it seems to be only distributed in UK (from what I understand from browsing the net).
It is always hard to find the right colors…I use to have a palette of eye shadow in those burgundy tones my mum gave me for a birthday when I was a teen. It was from Yves Saint Laurent, and a real treat at the time. Little did I know that it was also a limited edition and I was never able to find the right colors ever since (that was some 15 years ago!). So I would really like to put my hands on one of those if only I would know where to buy it.
Thank you for bringing it to light!

Juanna,
I got my Sleek palettes when I was in London. You can probably find them on Ebay.
