Yet another cloud-filled day on Saturday in Melbourne, and I had grey on my mind. Trying to take nice pictures of my IMATS and ABBW haul had me frustrated,so instead I snapped a few shots of the look I went with. I recently bought a cute grey Sportsgirl handbag, and I've been loving all shades of grey ever since.
A simple grey eye with pink lips and strong-ish brows (got them tinted at Benefit cosmetics over the ABBW weekend)
I really like the way the cool tones of the shadows go with a sweet pink lip. Usually when I wear a grey eye I go for a super baby pink shade on my lips, but I had just bought new warmer pink shades from Essence so chose them instead. Really liked the way it came out, felt like it was a a really pretty look for such a miserable day.
Here are the products I used:
Bourjois Healthymix Serum Foundation #52
NYX Powder Blush in Peach
MAC Painterly Paint Pot
Essence Quattro in Chic-ify (pale grey shade in bottom left hand corner)
Chi Chi EyeShadow Dust in Door Bitch
Shiro Cosmetics pigment in Magneton
Avon Ultra Luxury Eyeliner in Black
Clinique High Impact mascara
Nutrimetics Recharging Hydration Mist with Ruby
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Buck (from Naked palette, for brows)

I used the Essence shadow over the paint pot before playing around with Magneton over the lid, and added Door Bitch in the centre of the lid to add a bit of brightness to the eye. (Everytime I say/write/think about the name Door Bitch I giggle, cheers Chi Chi!)

And for the lips...
Two brand new lip products from Essence!
The lip stain at the top is from the You Rock collection which has just hit Australia (which probably means it's old hat to those overseas) and is called Let me in Rose. It's one of two lipstains from the collection, and I will be showcasing these shortly because I am in love with them. The gloss at the bottom is from another collection also just released in Australia Blossoms etc... This gloss is called Flowerkissed, and I love the way it looks when paired with the lipstain.

In keeping with the grey obsession, I painted my nails!
I used Sportsgirl 'It Nail' in Storm with Sephora for OPI in I'm Wired on the ring fingers to spark it up a bit. Next I'm going to pair a hot pink shade with the grey.
