Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Review

I loved this mascara upon first application. The packaging is cute and simple, the brush is an hourglass shape and quite large and fluffy. The formula is on the drier side which I prefer. It applies easily and gives beautiful dramatic lashes without clumps. The first layer looks nice and defined and fairly natural but once you apply a second layer your lashes are transformed into gorgeous bold feathery wonders. I was in love, but then...it smudged. I do tend to have trouble with smudging because I have oily skin. I loved this so much i tried so many "hacks" to try stop it smudging and they were all unsuccessful sadly. If you don't normally have an issue with smudging this might be perfect for you but for me it just made me look like a sad panda by the end of the day.

I found this really clumped on my lashes and was hard to get off at the end of the day. It flaked within a few hours and gave me panda eyes.

This isnt my type of mascara because I need to use either. Waterproof or tubing mascara. I have sparse asian lashes that tends to droop down and uncurl. The bristles are way too big for my eye shape and the formula can get a bit too clumpy.

I was so excited to try this mascara after a couple of work colleagues recommended it me but I found that it didn't really live up to the hype.

The pros for me are that it does add volume and lengthen the lashes leaving them looking quite good when you first apply it. However, the cons really outweigh any of those pros for me. The brush is quite large, difficult to use, and it clumps easily. The mascara smudges and requires an under eye finger sweep periodically throughout the day, which is far too high maintenance for me! Plus it is super expensive compared to its equivalents. I also found removing it quite difficult with a lot of product left at the base of my lashes after washing my face (which doesn't happen with other mascaras). Wouldn't recommend.

I LOVE mascara, bathe in it kinda love! Have tried many in my time as mascara is my everyday staple that I cannot live without!! Even in lockdown I slap some on! BUT, this mascara... it’s nice, works well but really didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. It’s not bad, but it’s not life altering either. It gives great separation and lift, tends to smudge on hot days but that’s expected for most mascaras. So yes, it’s great, but it doesn’t live up my all time favourites. Worth it for the price though. In saying all this a close friend uses this and adores it! So I may just be a mascara snob!

This is my fave mascara of all time. I use it on a daily basis. It makes my dark brown eyes sparkle by making my eyelashes seem fantastic! It's simple to apply, whether you use a curler or not. It doesn't even come close to the competition! I would strongly recommend everyone to give it a go!!

I really love this mascara! Don't let the brush scare you - it feels a bit scary getting up close with it at first as it feels like you easily end up with a mess of mascara on your brows but it really works! The curled brush allows you to coat each lash effortlessly - leaving lashes longer, thicker and with a great feathery texture. Just beautiful!
