Ultimate mascara - worth every cent!

I never thought that I would one day replace my dear Rimmel mascara that I have repurchased over and over again for the past 6 years but Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara deserves that top spot now. It curls and separates my lashes, gives them volume and (what appears to me) extended length. What I love the most is the product makes my lashes look full and dramatic with very little effort required.

Even though I’m not a fan of pink the packaging is cute and simple. At first I was a little sceptical at the sheer size of the hour-glass shaped wand as well as just how much product was on it when I pulled it out. I didn’t think I would be able to achieve much, other than a big mess all over my lids but I cannot express just how amazed I am with this product.

When I apply my layers I do get some spots of mascara on my lids but that’s mainly because of how much it extends my lashes that it hits my lids so I can’t really complain about that. I’ve had no negative reactions to the product and no issues with flaking or any smudging throughout the day. In terms of removal it comes off very easily when I use my holy grail eye makeup remover (Neutrogena). I’m not too sure I could say the same if I use a makeup wipe or any other eye makeup remover.

I’ve had so many compliments on my lashes I can’t believe it and I didn’t even need to invest in a lengthening serum! I bought mine from the Too Faced website and sent it to my Shipito address. The price largely depends on the currency exchange going at the time of purchase and mine was approximately NZD$30 which to me is worth every cent because this is the only mascara that has finally ticked all the boxes.

My annoyance would have to lie with the accessibility to the product and that it’s only available overseas so unlike other popular mascara brands you can't just walk into a store and purchase it when you feel/want/need it.

Tips: I apply 2-3 layers and twirl the wand from base to tip. For more volume (and less clumps) I use a different mascara on top of it that has thin straight or slightly curve wand (i.e. Benefit Roller Lash).

Eeee this is getting me excited to use mine! The brush was scaring me a little so this is reassuring! I'm patiently waiting to use the mascaras that are in my current rotation first. Tick tock..

The Holy Grail of Mascara

Where to start. It lengthens. It volumises. It doesn't flake. I've never had a clump.

This is THE mascara for big, dramatic lashes. You don't need to wear false lashes with this mascara in your toolbox. I find three coats ideal if you're really wanting drama, or just one coat for a little definition. This isn't waterproof, but it isn't easy to get off either. It is a slightly wet formula, but not to the extreme of some Maybelline formulations.

Not sure that I'd believe the 1944% more volume claim on the box, but you certainly get a stunning look.

The brush is cute - its hourglass shaped and makes it really easy to get a nice application. The brush is also weighted, which makes handling the mascara feel really quite something else because it gives you more control.

Tips: Three coats and skip the false lashes!

Amazing products !

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 !

Better than (most) sex

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!

Tips: Thoroughly clean your favourite mascara brush and use that instead. Double coat straight after each coat one eye at a time and do not go back. Use a good under eye setting powder as can tend to transfer.

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!

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.

Thick but amazing

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.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

This is an amazing mascara. The formula is really thick but I actually like it because it leaves your lashes so thick and voluminous. The packaging is really pretty and I like the wand as well. Although it is on the pricier side it's definitely worth your money

Definitely not better than sex

I picked this up on a recent trip to Hawaii as I'd heard nothing but good things, and I'm always up for trying anything that promises to make my lashes look big and luscious!

I love the pink packaging, it's super girly, but it's a huge tube compared to standard mascaras. It has a natural bristle brush, which I prefer, but it's huuuge, or perhaps I have tiny eyes, which makes it hard to get to the inner and outer lashes. Moral of the story - everything about this mascara is big.

The formula is wet, very wet, which for me means that it applies way too much product and clumps my lashes together. It also left blobs of mascara on my lashes that I'd have to go in and remove. I'd end up with big thick lashes, but it'd look like I only had 10 lashes per eye because it was so clumpy. I left it a couple weeks to see if it'd dry out a little, to no avail.

It also transferred on to my eyelid/brow area which is a pet peeve, I don't want to be having to check my mirror constantly to wipe off the transferred product. I never attempted to use it on my bottom lashes as the brush was so huge, it was never a possibility, but I know it would have transferred there as well. This was a big fail for me unfortunately, I will be sticking with my tried and true mascaras!

Better than Sex Mascara by Too Faced

This product was a bit of a disappointment to me. I love the packaging, the metallic pink is quite pretty. Unfortunately after a few uses the mascara became clumpy and I had to apply it several times before I reached the thickness I desired. The black shade is a nice one but the texture of the product is not my favorite and certainly not better than sex.

Tips: I would suggest brushing your lashes with a brush in between applications in order to avoid lumps.
