Lights, Camera, Lashes - Tarte Mascara

Hi dolls, so let me just say that I have never ever spent $20 on mascara. To me that's madness! Give me the good ole drug store mascara that costs maybe $7-$9 any day! But I got a sample of Tarte's mascara in my Ipsy bag a couple of months ago and as soon as I tried it I fell in love. I was telling my husband about it one day while we were out and he told me to just buy it. We sometimes once in a blue moon play a game where we will spend $20 on something we normally would never get. On this day for me it was mascara, for him an Underarmore hat. So anyway I can totally understand why this stuff is $20 bucks - it's fabulous. This mascara is so pigmented and dark, it lengthens lashes like crazy and does add a decent amount of volume. Will I continuously buy it - no not every time I run out because let's be for real making a separate trip to Ulta for it probably won't happen but as a special buy yes I would so purchase it again! What's your favorite mascara or makeup splurge?!
