Better than sex??

I jumped on the bandwagon once again! Everyone was talking about how amazing this mascara is so, what's a girl to do? Buy that mascara and try it for herself of course!!

I need a slap on the hand I hate to admit this, I have 5 opened mascaras on the go but a couple are destined for the bin after using this.

I love the pink cylinder packaging it comes in, it's like metal/aluminium and quite heavy. I unscrew the lid and out comes the wand and argh I'm feeling slightly daunted by the hourglass wand its unlike anything I've used before and I'm standing there looking at it, then looking at my eyelashes and thinking really??

So I carefully apply the first coat and ooooh my lashes look a little fuller and longer, second coat and wow impressive a good curl going on and third coat and Im thinking hey those aren't mine no way! Seriously? They are full with great length and just look amazing. I love this mascara so much because first of all no clumps and secondly it makes your eyelashes look completely natural like you were just genetically blessed with luscious lashes!

Also wearing 3 coats I thought I was bound to get flaking but yip you guessed it.. None, no flaking no rub off nothing! Yes it seriously is some kind of magic.

Then it got me thinking it stays on for hours and hours I bet it's going to take some scrubbing to remove it. But nope just my usual Clarins or Maybelline makeup remover and done (back to naked eye for me!) I love love love this and need back ups! Thank goodness for overseas shopping we have nowadays!

Too Faced Better Than Sex

I purchased the mini size to give it a try before splurging. It is a good mascara but I think there are cheaper branded mascaras that do the same job for half the price.

Tips: Buy the mini first

Hype Fail

This mascara has been incredibly hyped up, so after seeing people raving about it all over Instagram, I decided to sneak it into my BeautyLish order. It arrived as glamorous as always with Too Faced - the packaging is fun, girly and high quality. This mascara is in a heavy (and huge) metallic pink tube with a large, hourglass shaped brush.

Unfortunately, this was where my excitement ended. The brush is far too large for my average sized eyes, making it difficult to get in close to the lashes to create length. It is not suitable for bottom lashes and it was rather tricky to avoid a mess. Adding to the difficulty of application is the formula, which is incredibly wet. I know us girls are hard to please, as we don't want a mascara that dries out quickly, but with such a large brush and an almost dripping formula, only the very skilled and patient would be capable of getting Better Than Sex results from this mascara. The end result was minimal length and clumping. I always resorted to using a separate mascara brush to finish off my lashes.

Formula has never been an issue for me with mascaras. I have never had a mascara transfer, smudge or run, and I have never seen my mascara anywhere other than my lashes. However, this mascara flaked off onto my cheeks when applying, as well as during the day. It smudged underneath my lower lashes, and ended up a mess when I sneezed. I occasionally get slight allergies, which has never caused issues with mascara, but on one particular day I ended up with black smudges all over the tops of my cheeks.

For a high end, hyped up mascara I was disappointed. I will not be repurchasing this mascara, and I do not recommend it.

Tips: If you already own this mascara, combine it with an old, dried out mascara brush.

My go to mascara

I'd heard about this mascara from friends and it definitely lives up to the hype. I've been asked many times if my lashes are real. I do have really long lashes and found that sometimes there was some fallout, but I've since switched to the waterproof version (which stays on forever unless you use a good remover!). They definitely make my lashes look fuller and longer.

Tips: Consider the waterproof version - a warning though, the waterproof one is very difficult to get off, use proper eye makeup remover.

Not good for my lashes

This isnt my type of mascara because I need to use either. Waterproof or tubing mascara. I have sparse asian lashes that tends to droop down and uncurl. The bristles are way too big for my eye shape and the formula can get a bit too clumpy.

Tips: I would say this mascara is for people with really curly eyelashes who does not experience smudging or melting often. This is not waterproof so if it touches your skin under the eye, it will transfer, crumble and give me panda eyes.

I feel sorry for the person who named this

Too faced better than Sex Mascara. This product has a lot of hype around it and I had heard so much about this product, both good and bad. However the majority of things I had heard about it were good and so I had to buy it because what sort of beauty addict would I be if I didn't.

It comes in a beautiful pink tube, which almost has a frosted pink metallic finish. The tube is cool to touch, and is quite heavy as well so it feels expensive which is nice because this mascara is not cheap costing around $20 USD dollars.

The mascara brush is really large, and is actually a bristle brush which I love because these are getting harder and harder to find (or maybe it is just me). The mascara brush is quite bulky which makes it awkward to get close to your eye, but still I had high hopes for this product.

The formula seemed nice at first; it is jet black which is perfect because that’s the only colour I wear. However, the formula is really wet, and I mean really wet which can work really well with some products, but it does not work well with this one.

Seriously, doing one coat of this mascara leaves my lashes clumpy and looking terrible. It does add length, and a bit of volume but the clumps are something I cannot look past. Seriously, I was so disappointed with this product, and put this review off for the longest time just in case I managed to love it. I have to say that now the formula has gotten a bit drier, I do like the mascara a little more, but certainly not enough to pay big dollars for it.

Not for me!

After all the hype about this mascara, I just had to try it for myself. I mean the name in itself had me rather intrigued... Unfortunately, for me personally, it didn't live up to it's hype. I actually regret even buying this as it's just going to sit there and dry out. The wand is rather big and bulky and I'm not a fan of wands like that. The formula is super black and really pigmented, I feel like this mascara may have had higher marks from me if the wand wasn't so bulky. With bulky wands I find that 9/10 mascaras will be really thick and clumpy and really hard to work with, and this is exactly what this mascara is like. The amount of excess mascara on the wand is rather ridiculous, and it can be quite time consuming trying to wipe the excess product off onto the rim of the tube. It made my lashes look so clumpy, I had to go in with a lash comb to try and remove the clumps, I didn't get the result that I wanted (but it looked a lot better than what it did before) but I was in a rush to have a breakfast date with my partner so I didn't have a choice but to put up with it. Which was an epic fail! The mascara is super flaky and unfortunately for me, bits of dry mascara flaked and found their way into my eye. And because it's mascara, I couldn't rub my eyes. I was sitting in the car looking like a complete noob trying to somehow gently get these flakes out of my eye. 5 minutes later with uncomfortable blinking and smudged mascara, I was good to go... But my eye irritated me the rest of the day untill I washed it off. I will not be using or buying this mascara again.

Surprised as I expected more

Having purchased after reading the 5 lip reviews and others raving about it on blogs I have to admit I was a little disappointed.

Too Faced packaging is again flawless with this mascara, it is sexy cute in it's metal effect pink barrel with the letter all raised, embossed into the container. But that is where it stops impressing me, the second I opened the lid and pulled out the wand to apply onto my lashes I saw nothing about the wand to suggest it was any different to hundreds of others I have tried before.

Formula is the problem for me, it is true it is a very dark black which is wonderful, but the texture is rather thick and gloopy. After my usual application of zig zag and pull I looked in horror to find little balls, clumps! and then my lashes started to stick together. This was from one swipe! I grabbed a disposable wand and played with the lashes, teasing out the extra mascara and working it through but it never looked wow! Second attempt I brushed off about 99% of the mascara from the wand and dragged through my lashes, again almost instantly like static my lashes clumped together and again I spent ages working a disposable wand through to get them to behave. I was frustrated as I really wanted to love this mascara but it is just not meant to be with me. Perhaps it is a dodgy batch but I brought it from an official Too Faced stockist, perhaps it is my lash type. Who knows, all I know is that for me this now resides in the bin

Chelsea both are different, if you are looking for fuller va va voom volume lashes and can be bothered with the clumpy formula then Too Faced is the way, if you want length then Eye of Horus is the one =)

Ooh, I'm so undecided! I want to add this into my BeautyLish order because I've heard so many good things.. but I really trust your opinion. Have you compared it to the Eye of Horus mascara? I'm deciding between those two.

Not a fan

Hi, I love Too-Faced products and while this went on great, it kept smudging throughout the day. Dam Girl is a better product, no smudges!

Better Than Everything!

I purchased this mascara about a month ago and have struggled to give myself rest days and not wear it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY since I opened it. First off is the packaging, I love it. Its quite a long metal tube with the writing embossed on and it's a beautiful colour and has a lovely feel to it. The mascara wand is weighted so I think this may contribute to why I've been finding it easier to apply. The brush itself is nothing terribly different to others I've seen before but the results I get from it are. Unlike most other mascaras where I need a couple of weeks to wait for them to dry out a bit and for me to get used to them this one was a winner from day one. The formula is not too sticky or wet and goes on perfectly without clumping my lashes or leaving big clumpy bits sitting on them. I get near enough to perfectly coated individual long lovely lashes from two coats of this mascara. I do find because the brush is quite big I do tend to get a bit of product up on my upper eyelids but I do also have quite long eyelashes so thats hard to avoid usually anyway. Some days I am left with a little bit of flaking or transference to the under eye area but it doesn't happen often and is usually when I've put it on first thing and haven't taken it off until around midnight. I have already posted a picture of my lashes using this mascara on the photo wall. Stalk me through my profile and maybe you'll be able to find it :D This is a fantastic mascara probably in in top two ever and I think I may miss it when I'm getting through the other three I have waiting to be used after this one's finished.
