Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Review

I have a sample sized tube of this mascara, i bought it with a bronzer mini off trademe. I've heard so many differing opinions about it. Some people love it and others hate it. I love too faced in general though so it was something I really wanted to try. To claim something is better than sex is a rather extreme statement. Maybe it depends on what type of Sex? I don't know but I best not go off on a Tangent!

This mascara comes in a pretty metallic pink tube. I'm pretty much always sold on pink items so that is definitely a plus for me.

The mascara wand is enormous and hour glass shaped. There's pluses to it being so big, in that it will be build volume faster but cons are not getting the teeny lashes and I always make a mess on my eyelid. Anyway, the formula is on the drier side which I prefer and it's a very black formula.

The first time I used this, I fell in love. With hardly any effort, I had really long and full lashes. I have stumpy lashes so it usually takes forever to build up half decent ones. The big downside for me though is wear time. This flaked so badly on me after only a few hours and also transferred on my upper eye area too. I've used this heaps since then but the same thing has happened every time.

I think this would be good if you only needed amazing lashes for a few hours. I honestly love the effect so it breaks my heart that it doesn't last. Just as I'm writing this, I'm wondering if there is a waterproof version because that would hopefully be longer lasting! Anyway, I'll use the rest of my tube but I can't see myself buying this again.

Don't understand all the hype for the cost... Thank the Lord I got the sample sizes version. Alright just your average mascara.

I first bought this early this year after seeing youtube video after youtube video of beauty gurus raving about it. I bought it for $35 which is quite alot for me as I am a poor uni student. So I used it for the first time how I would use any other mascara and.... It was CLUMPY, SPIDERY AND DID NOT LIVE UP TO THE HYPE. At least for me anyway... Maybe mine was a bad batch or something because there have been so many good reviews about this but I never wore it because it made my eyelashes look so yuck.

So for a few months I just continued wearing my Revlon mascara because it works and is safe for me. It ran out a few weeks ago and so I decided to go back to the Better than Sex mascara. This time, I used a new technique of application. As i pulled the wand out of the tube, I scraped one side along the edge. This means that one side of the wand has all the product and the other only has a small amount. I used the side will all the product on the ends of my lashes and used the side with a small amount from bottom to top. This made a big difference in how the mascara looked. I wear it a lot now (although that may just be because I have no other mascara to wear).

In conclusion, I would not buy this product again (nor would I recommend to a friend), as I know there are plenty more mascaras out there that work the same if not better. I will however keep using this until it runs out.

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

My friends rave about this mascara so much that they purchased it for me. I don't know what all the fuss is about. I liked that it is animal friendly - huge plus. But as a product I really didn't like it. I found it gluggy and the brush too soft with bristles that kept glugging and going in all directions, not helping application. I loved the presentation of the tube and the branding is clean and attractive. But the glugg was just gross and the brush, frustrating. If you want an animal friendly mascara that IS THE BUSINESS. Try Eye of Horus, of Natio. Both of those rock. But this one, I am not a fan.

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.

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!

I was not impressed with this mascara at all, definitely overhyped and I don’t know why. It was so clumpy and didn’t go on well - it made my eyelashes look horrible and spidery and I was so disappointed as it is not cheap. Would not recommend this mascara - so many better cheaper options then this one
