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?!

Bombshell Mascara by Covergirl

Hello there ladies! I am super excited to write a review about this product! Let me just start out by saying I love makeup & once upon a time I thought it was something I wanted to do with my life but living in good ole Evansville, IN I knew it wasn't an ideal career choice for me. I've tried countless mascaras some good and some very bad but when I saw a review on this product on Youtube I knew the next time I was at the store I wanted to pick this up and try it for myself. First of all you should watch Kandee Johnson's first impressions video for this & then tell me you're not convinced {link below!} I like that it doesn't leave my lashes clumpy and short. It actually makes them look long and thick. I will say a couple of things I don't like about this mascara is the packaging, the wand is huge and not ideal for sticking in your to go makeup bag & it's a bit difficult to get off but then isn't that what we look for, products that last and don't wear off? So with that said I do spend an extra couple of minutes on  my makeup removing routine getting this mascara off. But I can get past that for the price of $9!

This is the only pic I got after I applied this mascara, I should have gotten another closer up of my eyes but oh well. I can tell a difference in length!
