Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Review

After purchasing this I wasnt sure what to expect but I like it more than any other mascaras ive tried, it makes my lashes fuller and longer but it made them a tad clumpy which was sad but all in all a good mascara, just need to know how to apply the thick consistency.

As much as I try to avoid hype, the many good things I had heard about this pushed me to buy a duo pack from Macy's when I was in LA a few weeks ago. The duo pack came with a travel and full size and this review is on the travel size.

Aside from the name (which I think is hilarious), the packaging is something I really like. It looks and feels luxe with a rose gold kind of tube. Both the travel and full size feel quite weighty and like they are made from metal as opposed to plastic.

The brush is the real star here - it's totally unique. It is difficult to describe and is probably best Googled, but it looks scary. It is rather spikey which is a bit confronting but it works its way between your lashes to ensure an even coat.

I find that this creates a lot of volume in my lashes as well as length, but it doesn't really hold a curl. Even if I curl my lashes prior to using it, this formula doesn't really hold my lashes up. I wish it would as curled lashes are something I look to achieve in a mascara, as opposed to length or volume. However, if these are things you do want in your mascara then this might be one you'll like.

The formula is super black and pigmented, has no scent and doesn't feel overly wet. It dries fairly quickly but it (sadly), flakes on me :( this is the only downfall of this mascara aside from it not holding a curl. Unfortunately the fact that it flakes means I won't purchase it again. I'm hoping it is just the travel sized one I have that flakes, and not the full sized - as I do really like this mascara! Idomakeup on here suggested I use it for my top lashes only but I have found that even using it just on those it is flaking.

Aside from that, it is easy to remove and it makes my lashes look thicker and longer. Given the flaking issue and the fact that it doesn't hold a curl in my lashes, I won't be paying what the rrp in NZ is.

I received this mascara in a sample size through my Mecca Beauty Loop box and I was excited as I have been dying to try it as everyone raves about it. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed. I found that some days it would clump really bad when I applied it and other days it wouldn't which I found odd. On the days that it didn't clump, I loved how it looked on my lashes but found it was quite flaky and by the end of the day I was left with black flakes on my cheeks which is not cute! I am unsure if I just received a bad batch as it was only sample size and I would look at possibly trying it again to see if it improves as I do love the way it looks once applied!

I find this mascara a bit overrated. I had heard a lot of good things about this mascara and all the hype about it which is why I bought this product. However for the price you pay I would rather use my maybelline mascara.

I like the shape of the brush which is an hourglass type shape that is thinner in the middle and curved inwards. The packaging is a very cute dusty pink.

I find that this mascara clumps a little bit sometimes and doesn't separate my lashes nicely. It gives your lashes a nice dark black tiny but it doesn't volumise or lengthen my lashes as much as I would like, even with curling my lashes before hand.

Overall this mascara is just ok but I don't think I would purchase it again. Two coats of my maybelline mascara can give me the same effect for half the price of this mascara.

I call this a partner product because I can never use it on its own, whilst it is good if you want a dark thick mascara. I definitely have to use more then one coat if I want length on my lashes and also have to pair it with another mascara. What I do like about it though is it is a very thick mascara, so makes your lashes look thicker! Be weary though, this mascara can get a wee bit clumpy and leave those little mascara left over bits!

To preface, I don't have a lot of natural lashes in both length and volume.

While the formula of this mascara is good and definitely gives me length and definition and lasts well, the brush is tricky if you don't have a lot initially to work with and can clump easily. For lashes like mine, a small slim brush such as Benefits They're Real is much better.

Meh. I purchased this after hearing people rave about this product online consistently, and thought it was worth the money, however when trying the mascara I was underwhelmed. The packaging is pretty, but the brush is big and doesn't work well with my eye shape. I found it to be clumpy and thick, but smudged and transferred with my long natural lashes. The general product was good, and I will use it until the tube runs out, however it is not much better than what I would buy at a local pharmacy. It is okay, but nothing to write home about.

This mascaras tube is super cute and the brush is amazing but it does not take long for this mascara to fall out on my face :( would absolutely love it because it really does apply the perfect amount of mascara on my lashes and fan them out beautifully!
