Are you ready for the Summer?

NARS is featured on page 4 of Sephora's Summer 2009 Catalog. I'm excited, but I'm also BROKE! I decided to try to recreate the look using less expensive products. Please let me know what you think.

    Great look!!! I totally believe that you can achieve the same looks for less. You just proved it. I like your alteration better without taking the crease color all the way to the brow bone.
    Thanks!
