Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Review

I have tried this after always being recommended it by literally everyone and it really isn't for me! Purchased this and was so disappointed after the hype I was feeling that this was going to change my life and woodland creature were going to be sewing my clothes and brushing my hair, but no such luck. Smooth formula with a nice brush, packaging was of a high quality. I have to say the application was smooth and clump free with the brush providing good control and ability to place product with precision. product coated the lashes well, but i have to say I wasn't wowed by the results upon application. Yes it was nice, but not knock your socks off nice. Anyway my problem with this product is with how it wore through the day. I have a greasy lid, for lack of better words and often have problems with mascara transferring from my lashes to my lids. So annoying! Id end up with black smudging on my eyelids by lunch time and have to wipe them constantly. Note I have also tried the waterproof formula and didn't find it any different to the non waterproof version which was a shame. Wanted to love it, can see why people do, but not for me.

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.

I am in absolute love with this mascara. My lashes look incredible, it lasts all day and I don't get a reaction to it. The brush is a bit intense to begin with because it's quite large, but once I got the hang of it there were no worries. I haven't experienced clumping, or fall out.

The mascara comes in a large size tube, making it easy to hold and find in my make up bag. The wand is long and the applicator takes on and holds quite a bit of mascara. I love how I could take my time to apply the mascara to my eye lashes as some mascaras start to dry really quickly on the wand.

I loved how dramatic and full it made my lashes, as my lashes need more oomph rather than length, and it definitely delivers!

The downside for me, is that mascara rubs off on my cheeks. I have very small almond shaped eyes with high cheeks, and when I smile, my cheeks rub up to my lashes, beauty problems!! I don't mind the occasional smudge say on a hot day, but this would happen all day long. I even made sure to not let my cheeks squeeze my eyes until they dried :( I switched to the waterproof formula but it did the same thing, though a bit less. So the waterproof one is is my current go to when I want a dramatic lash but also have access to a mirror often and can touch up.

A friend recommended this to me when I said I was going to get some new mascara, so I picked up a mini. It's fine enough - I really like the brush, and it applies nicely. I don't have issues that other people seem to suggest where they end up with mascara on their eyelids.

I do find it smears during the day, and I often end up with mascara smudged under my eyes. I haven't had this issue with any other mascaras and I don't rub my eyes, so I have no idea how this happens.

It's a pity because if it didn't smear, I could forgive the price as it applies really smoothly and makes my lashes look amazing.

I have been a keen user of this mascara on and off for the last few years. Just when I think I am over it and try another mascara it lures me back in and I now can't live without it! I think I am on my 5th repurchase. It has a moussey, thick formula which with one coat gives me insane volume and length without clumping and flaking - it wears incredibly well. I have quite sensitive eyes and this mascara does not irritate them at all. The wand is a great shape for curling and the packaging feels so luxe. I would 100% recommend this mascara.

I purchased this in a gift pack as I had read reviews and was a bit skeptical. I also purchased the queen size lashes in a full size but I find the BTS waaaay better. the brush is has different size bristles and isn't clumpy. I like thick bold lashes and BTS definitely gives this to you! it didn't flake for me at all. it reminds be of MAC's haute & naughty but BETTER! I love the sleek pink packaging too!

A friend bought this for me in Aussie, so I got a surprise seeing the box, was relieved to see it was mascara...I have the waterproof one and I love it. My eyes are very sensitive and I have no problems with it.

I like this mascara a lot. I have the full size at home and the mini in my gym bag. It gives full dark lashes with a quick swipe, or with a bit of care and a couple coats I get amazing full dark lashes. It runs a bit at the gym but there’s always the waterproof option. I’ve repurchased this a couple of times.

I had heard of so many things about this mascara that I just had to try it for myself. It is blimmin' expensive and I picked it up in a beautylish haul. May I just mention I hate the name, it is so much of a marketing gimmick. If any mascara lives up to this name you are doing something wrong.

The packaging is pretty intense for this mascara. It feels like a metal tube and has a light pink finish which is pretty cute. The name is embossed down the side which I really like as it means it won't wipe off like so many of my other makeup products. The brush is really fibrous which I like. It seems to be able to get onto every single lash and coat them in plenty of product.

Now the formula of the actual mascara is what I don't really like. When I first got this it was so wet! I put it on and I would always get mascara everywhere. Now I have been applying mascara for quite a few years now so it isn't like I am a novice or anything. So I had seen a few reviews saying this gets better with age so I left it a few months (ignoring best before dates or anything) and tried it again. Suddenly the formula was drier and much easier to use. It still coats every lash in a black as black formula, defines adds volume and keeps my lashes curled. Also I don't find it to hard to remove at all. BUT the reason I won't purchase this again or recommend this to anyone is that it flakes all day. I get to a mirror around 3pm and their are black flakes all around my eyes! It is so annoying because I love the look on my eyelashes but I can't stand the flaking and won't put up with it when there are so many great mascaras out there.

So this mascara is now way past its used by date and I think it is time for me to move on to something (hopefully) better.
