Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Review

I love how cute the mascara bottle is and the packaging it comes in is super cute and girly. This mascara used to be my go to, but since then I have found others I prefer. I find it goes on my eyelashes too thick but it does elongate them nicely so I have mixed feelings about it still. I prefer a mascara that isn’t so thick now. But I may give it another go in the future again.

This mascara can almost live up to its name hehe, I love the packaging, the champagne soft pink is really pretty, the brush is ideal for me, I love a full volume brush ! The consistency of the formula is amazing as it makes my lashes full and super black and I only need two small coats to get this effect!. I look like I have more eyelashes and that always makes my eyes pop ! It stays put and doesn't flake away. I generally love this product it has found its way into my daily makeup routine! I have no regrets purchasing this, toofaced keeps blowing me away with there amazing quality !

Love the Two Faced Better Than Sex mascara! This is recommend highly by most the YouTube beauty babes I follow so naturally I HAD to have it. Slightly on the pricey side and hard to obtain in Nz but who doesn't love recieving packages? I got mine from beautybay in a big haul I did (sorry not sorry). Application can get slightly messy as the brush is quite big, but I just thoroughly cleaned my old mascara brush and use that now instead (maybelline falsies). Lengthening - TICK. Volumising - TICK. The formula itself is on point. Packaging to die for. Easy to correct messy mistakes. So close to a 5/5 but the brush lets it down if you're a 'quick applicator' kinda babe. Can tend to transfer too so use a good under eye setting powder!

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

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 ;-)

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.

First of all....love the name of the product. Its catchy and actually wants to make you purchase the product just to see if it lives up to its name. Love the pink gold packaging as well. With so many options available on the market it is hard to decide on a favourite, but this product definitely rank somewhere in the top 10 on my list. This product also has one of the better applicator brushes I've seen. The product applies easily and covers really well. It gives your lashes extra length and fullness in just one application. Would definitely recommend.

I was really excited to try this and absolutely loved the packaging and the tube it comes in, however, that's where my love for it faded.

I had to remove a lot of product before application, I did love the brush design and have since purchased a mascara with a similar brush.

The initial reaction was great, rich black colour and elevated my eyelashes nicely, however, over the course of the day it constantly flaked causing irritation to my eyes.

I was extremely disappointed and while I tried to use as much of the mascara as I could, it had to be in short bursts to avoid the flakiness.

I'm sad to say I can't recommend this product but may try it again one day (just in case it was a dud batch).
