No, it's not. Slick isn't as complex, and is mostly a silvery-grey. Idolize is grey/blue/plum/gold sounds awful, when you see it in the jar, you'll wonder why you bought it, but when you put it on it'll become one of your favourite eyeshadows of all time :)

Slick is mostly grey, on some people you can see a litle brown in it but not much - it's a more simple colour if that's what you're looking for.

They are completely different colors IMO.

Slick is so much more grey-silver-taupe and Idolize is much more purple-blue-grey-silver.

I can't wear Slick at all but I can wear Idolize. HTH.

Would this picture help?

From the top: Dolce, Idolize, Slick, Wisdom.

I wish I had those high end DSLR cameras handy. It would really display the shimmer the way its really looks in real life. Here, they look boring and matt. In reality, they have beautiful multi-colored sparkles that look so pretty, but not "over the top".

Also, Idolize and Slick look similar but they aren't. Slick is much more grey-silvery and has more glittery bits, whereas Idolize is more on the brownish-purplish side with less shimmer than Slick.
