Around the World in 80 Eyeshadows: Weekly Round-Up

Hi everyone!
It's been a good end to the week - back into the regular swing of blogging! I hope you enjoy this week's Around the World in 80 Eyeshadows. Remember, we are always looking for more bloggers from around the world to become part of the round-up: shoot any of the participants an email for more info.

Weekly question: What is one product that you had high hopes for but left you disappointed?

Seonaid's answer: That's a tough one - I'm pretty lucky in that most of the time, if I do enough research beforehand, I like most of my high-hope products. One thing that did let me down, though, was the Makeup Forever Smoky Lash Mascara. I'd heard so many rave reviews but it was just too clumpy and spider-lashy on me. Boo!

This week's links:

Beauty & Baggage - is pleasantly surprised by a budget beauty palette from Next.

Fashionable Heart - has already started her Christmas list!

Massachusetts Mask - reviews what should be called an industrial strength concealer from MAC!

Norwegian Elephant - has finally found the HG foundation she's been looking for!

So, what about you guys? Any products that left you feeling disappointed post-purchase?
