Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Review

Love this mascara!! It wears all night without smudging. This mascara elongates and thickens my eyelashes perfectly, I often get asked if in wearing false lashes. The only down side is this stuff is super hard to get off! I find it's still coming off in the shower two days later.

This mascara had been talked about everywhere, and I knew I had to get my hands on it. A beauty product that had the word sex in it!? And it may or may not be better than the deed itself... I was intrigued. I ordered from BeautyLish Boutiques and it arrived quite fast, despite the holidays going on in both countries at the time.

The tube is a soft metallic pink with the brand name in fancy italics and the name of the mascara, bold and in your face, in raised writing on the side. The writing is the same color as the tube, so it blends seamlessly, other than the fact it's raised. It's the only writing on the tube other than the sticker on the base. The lid twists off easily and as you pull the wand out of its cave you are greeted with a gorgeous brush.

The brush itself is supposed to be like a woman's curves, and I can see that, but it also just looks like a mascara wand. It's fat at the top and bottom and thinner in the middle. Definitely matches my body shape! The bristles are quite soft and they are thick with black mascara.

The formula of the mascara is, in my opinion, perfect. It's not dry so it doesn't drag your eyelid off your eye, and it's not so completely wet that just blinking makes it smoosh above and below the lashes. Although if you sneeze it will do just that, but as it dries fast it's easy to either pick off, of just use a makeup remover on a cotton bud.

My lashes become superstars when I use this. It's a term I never use, but this is my holy grail. It is the holiest of all grails. It's so easy to remove I could do it in my sleep and know I got it all off. It IS a clumpy mascara, and I thought I hated clumpy until I tried this. How wrong I was. So, is it better than sex? Well... I guess that depends on the sex ;-)

This mascara has had many mixed reviews . I decided to pop this full sized mascara into my very first Mecca Maxima haul . I love wearing mascara . I wear it daily with and without lashes . I wear it to work on a daily basis and special occasions .

Packaging comes in this frosted pink soft metal finished packaging . Really feels like luxury compared to my plastic mascaras . This wand is different to my other mascara brushes. It is pear shaped head . Consistency is deep black fluid .

Application flies through my lashes like butter to a knife . Instantly my lashes have been transformed from think to thick full lashes . It lasts me a good 9 hour shift no transferring or panda eyes.

I’m happy with my results from using this . It’s on the expensive side so I would definitely use in between my other mascara . I would buy it again . I probably wouldn’t buy it in deluxe size as there seems to be problems with the consistency of them .

I was recommended this by this sales assistant at Sephora who said that this would really lengthen and curl eyelashes. I'd seen plenty of praise about this online as well so I thought I'd give it a try since my dior mascara was running out. I have worn this three times and all three times it turned out to be a colossal disappointment.

Things I like The shape of the want makes it easy to reach every eyelash, and it really fits the contours of my eye. The mascara does indeed make my lashes look thicker and longer and doesn't clump much.

Things I don't like After applying this my previously curled eyelashes drooped back to their sad straight state. It smudged all around my under eyes after just half a day out. The price is close to a high end mascara, but it really doesn't perform like one.

I don't know about others, maybe if your lashes are naturally curly this might be better for you. But my experience with this has been really disappointing. Perhaps I had been expecting a holy grail mascara but this is just a 'meh, pretty good' one for me.

This mascara was my first (and currently, only) 'high end' mascara purchase, although it's very well priced compared to other brands. I've been using this for a year now, and have been putting off reviewing it because I just have so much to say! The packaging is a gorgeous pearl pink with embossed lettering, and the tube itself is large, thick, and feels metallic - which means it always feels unusually cold! The big thing I noticed with this mascara, compared to drugstore products I'd used, is that the formula is very thick and very black. Like, I was a little bit scared of it at first. The hourglass wand doesn't really suggest an intuitive way of applying it, but I've found there are many different looks you can achieve with this just by altering your application. A light touch is a must; if you really comb this through then you'll just get crazy black clumps instead of lashes. You can get very long, fluffy lashes just by gently feathering it through the ends (I usually apply a few coats, letting it almost dry between applications). Or, if you're wanting something heavier, you can sweep this through from base to tip a couple of times and then go through with the end of the want and pull out the corner lashes a bit. This gives you a really intense doll-eyed look which I love. Don't freak out if it gets all over your eyelids over (which will happen, this wand is very smudgey!) - if you wait a minute for it to dry it'll wipe off no sweat with a dry cotton bud, and won't ruin any eyeshadow etc. you had on either! This absolutely lasts all day until you take it off, it can transfer a little to your eyelids while it's still drying so look out for that. It's not waterproof, so is easy to take off with a decent make up remover. I don't often use this product for day wear just because it's so dramatic that it doesn't always look natural, but it's miles ahead of any other mascara I've tried for killer bombshell lashes on a night out.

I recently brought this in the mini. I never use up a full sized mascara before you're supposed to discard it, so I loved the idea of mini mascara and I was pleased to see that the wand on it was easy to use.

I think it is one of the best mascaras I've tried, but nothing except false lashes really give my lashes that really long full look. But this does give me reasonable lashes with a few swipes and doesn't flake or irritate my eyes.

The mascara easily lasts all day and I use rosehip oil usually to remove it at night.

I like the mascara and the mini size works well for me, so I will likely repurchase.

I've tried both the sample size and the full size of this as sometimes the formula acts differently but unfortunately this mascara is just not for me. It coated my lashes fine but nothing that "wowed" me. The issue is that this mascara flakes really badly on me and leaves black spots on my cheeks. I have tried powdering under my eyes in case it was the oils on my skin breaking down the mascara but unfortunately it made no difference. My sister found the same thing happening to her when she has tried the sample size.

I fully allow for the fact that this is personal preference though, as I then gifted my mascara tubes to my niece and she loved them.

I picked this up on a recent trip to Hawaii as I'd heard nothing but good things, and I'm always up for trying anything that promises to make my lashes look big and luscious!

I love the pink packaging, it's super girly, but it's a huge tube compared to standard mascaras. It has a natural bristle brush, which I prefer, but it's huuuge, or perhaps I have tiny eyes, which makes it hard to get to the inner and outer lashes. Moral of the story - everything about this mascara is big.

The formula is wet, very wet, which for me means that it applies way too much product and clumps my lashes together. It also left blobs of mascara on my lashes that I'd have to go in and remove. I'd end up with big thick lashes, but it'd look like I only had 10 lashes per eye because it was so clumpy. I left it a couple weeks to see if it'd dry out a little, to no avail.

It also transferred on to my eyelid/brow area which is a pet peeve, I don't want to be having to check my mirror constantly to wipe off the transferred product. I never attempted to use it on my bottom lashes as the brush was so huge, it was never a possibility, but I know it would have transferred there as well. This was a big fail for me unfortunately, I will be sticking with my tried and true mascaras!

I have absolutely no love for this mascara. I had been waiting a long time to try this (i.e. get through the rest of my mascara stash first!) Sadly it has been a big disappointment. Firstly I do not like the hour glass shaped wand. I find I end up depositing mascara on my eyelids every time. This may be because I wear glasses and can't easily judge how close the brush is. This I can almost forgive, but the smudging I can not. It doesn't matter how carefully I apply this or how long I wait for it to dry, I always end up with some on my under eye area. I've never been one to suffer from panda eyes until I tried this. I doesn't do anything for my lashes either and leans towards 'spidery' so this has no redeeming features for me at all. Luckily I only have a mini of this that I got in a gift pack, so in the bin it goes. This is one I'm not even waiting for the 3 month expiry before I bin it!
