Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Review

I adore this mascara!! I am lucky enough to have long eyelashes but am constantly on the hunt for something to give me the volume I crave - I have found it! This is a mascara that does exactly what it says - it gives you thick voluminous lashes, its black as black can be and makes my lashes look so long that people ask if I'm wearing false lashes! I picked this up from Mecca in Australia and am gutted to not be able to find it for sale in New Zealand so will have to pay for shipping (booo!).

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.

So ... if something markets itself as 'Better than Sex' that's some pretty serious hyping up of the experience. You expect.... well...... the mascara equivalent of fireworks.

Unfortunately this mascara falls short on every consideration.

I (thank goodness) stuck to the travel sized one of these, picked up at Mecca Maxima to simply see what all the fuss was over. The packaging is admittedly cute, with a very on-trend metallic rose outer, and an interesting brush.

That's where the positives ended for me. The rest was more bad dream than great sex! The formula is clumpy and really nothing special. While it defined and darkened lashes, it didn't hold a candle to my usual faves. It was harder to work with and the end result was merely 'okay'.

As i went through my day, if my makeup ran at all and this got into my eyes, they stung and I had to immediately remove it, which was a bit of a process. It wasn't super easy to remove.

It also has a strange smell to it that was really noticeable until it dried.

In short, I don't know what Too Faced were thinking with this one. If this is what sex were like, I'd be celibate by choice!

This is my go to mascara in my make up kit. I love the length and volume it gives me, as someone with very blonde and straight lashes normally it's always nice to see them with some volume. I don't find it clumpy like other reviews have mentioned. While I do have some occasional smudging I find it's only when I've got a bad hay fever day and rub my eyes. Otherwise it stays put all day long. A gentle oil based makeup remover on a cotton pad and it comes right off at the end of the day. I'm looking forward to trying the waterproof version as well to see if that improves the hay fever/eye rubbing smudge aspect but all in all I absolutely love it.

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!

I tried this over a few months and I have to say, I do not understand the hype at all.

I found this made my lashes clumpy, too much product would come off on the brush and it did not seperate my lashes nicely.

It would leave little dots of mascara on my eyelids and I found it took a long time to set when doing multiple coats

Not worth the price in my opinion, it's quite clumpy and doesn't give my lashes definition, just a lot of volume and not a lot of length, it's really black which is nice but still not what I look for in a mascara. It doesn't flake or smudge on me though so it's okay in that respect.

I wanted to love this. It has been recommended to me by so many people. The name alone screams it's going to be awesome right? When I decided I HAD to have the Peach Palette I ordered two mascaras as well.

I like the packaging, cute pink metallic. It's a little bigger than some tubes, but easy to hold. The brush is decent, I've come to like the rubbery type brushes - but this one curves well to my lashes.

The product itself goes on well, it can get a little clumpy, but I find a couple of light coats looks good. Mine dried out a bit quite quickly though, making it hard to use.

And that is about where the good ends. It flakes leaving little black marks on my cheek, and if those get in my eyes - OUCH! It stings! Towards the end of the day, despite not touching my eyes, I still manage to look like a panda.

I managed to combat all this by putting a layer of maybelline on top instead of a second coat - but it's not really worth doing that since the maybelline with 2 coats would achieve the same result.

I'm stubborn and using up what I have, but I wont buy it again...sex is better hehe

I grabbed a mini of this from Mecca after hearing so many people rave about it. I'm pleased a grabbed a mini!!

I love the packaging and I think the name is funny! I love the sideways looks I've gotten from people when I've been talking about it!

However I found the formula a little clumpy and too wet. It certainly added volume and a bit of drama but I had to constantly wipe clumps off the brush.

I also found that about 4 hours after wear I would have Panda Eyes. It didn't like staying on my lashes. Even with primer on.

As much as I wanted to love this and for it to become my Holy Grail Mascara.. it's a no from me.

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!
