Better then sex

I'm a bit nervous about my review for this product bc so many people are in love with it. For me I don't have that type of relationship with it. I really had high hopes for this mascara but it's let me down sadly. A rose pink pastel mettalic tube with the too faced black calligraphy type branding on the tube. The brush is a big fibre type brush very tubular and almost an hourglass shape I like this kind of brush for me it indicates volume and separation. However looks can be deceiving. The formula is black jet black but also is quite wet therefore application becomes clumpy or transfer occurs during application either to the roots of my top lid or on my bottom undereye area it sux if you're in a rush don't use this. Due to the moisture wet formula it tends to clump on the lashes which sux. It can give full lashes though and make them look full only when you wipe off excess mascara on the wand/brush. The brush picks up at the roots & dispenses mascara over the lash nicely once you have the correct amount on the brush,which means wiping a lot of product off

Tips: Wipe brush end back onto end of tube a little is better I find having product on the brush just causes clumps and transfer so go in almost with no product on the brush

OK mascara

This mascaras tube is super cute and the brush is amazing but it does not take long for this mascara to fall out on my face :( would absolutely love it because it really does apply the perfect amount of mascara on my lashes and fan them out beautifully!

Tips: Apply clear mascara over this mascara to prevent fall out.

Not for me!

After all the hype about this mascara, I just had to try it for myself. I mean the name in itself had me rather intrigued... Unfortunately, for me personally, it didn't live up to it's hype. I actually regret even buying this as it's just going to sit there and dry out. The wand is rather big and bulky and I'm not a fan of wands like that. The formula is super black and really pigmented, I feel like this mascara may have had higher marks from me if the wand wasn't so bulky. With bulky wands I find that 9/10 mascaras will be really thick and clumpy and really hard to work with, and this is exactly what this mascara is like. The amount of excess mascara on the wand is rather ridiculous, and it can be quite time consuming trying to wipe the excess product off onto the rim of the tube. It made my lashes look so clumpy, I had to go in with a lash comb to try and remove the clumps, I didn't get the result that I wanted (but it looked a lot better than what it did before) but I was in a rush to have a breakfast date with my partner so I didn't have a choice but to put up with it. Which was an epic fail! The mascara is super flaky and unfortunately for me, bits of dry mascara flaked and found their way into my eye. And because it's mascara, I couldn't rub my eyes. I was sitting in the car looking like a complete noob trying to somehow gently get these flakes out of my eye. 5 minutes later with uncomfortable blinking and smudged mascara, I was good to go... But my eye irritated me the rest of the day untill I washed it off. I will not be using or buying this mascara again.

the biggest lashes I've had but they don't last :(

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.

Really good!

I had heard SO many mixed reviews on this product, there is some real hype over this one! To be really honest I didn't expect this to live up to my expectations! So I bought a deluxe sample size to try when i was purchasing some other items.

Well I love this mascara! I'm kicking myself for only ordering a deluxe sample size, I will definitely being getting another when I run out.

I love the frosted pink packaging, it's super cute and still sophisticated.

I LOVE the big hourglass brush, I find it applies the product really well and has good coverage. The formula glides on really easily and I find it great for building up. I have had no crumbling or fallout. I have also had no smudging!

There do seem to be mixed reviews on this one, but for me it ticks all the boxes! I love the packaging, the formula is easy to apply, it builds up my 'barely there' lashes easily and is really pigmented black!

My only wish is that it lasted a little longer.. the trade off here though is that it is a beautiful light formula.

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

Tips: Not really worth it

Diva lashes!

This mascara was my first (and currently, only) 'high end' mascara purchase, although it's very well priced compared to other brands. I've been using this for a year now, and have been putting off reviewing it because I just have so much to say! The packaging is a gorgeous pearl pink with embossed lettering, and the tube itself is large, thick, and feels metallic - which means it always feels unusually cold! The big thing I noticed with this mascara, compared to drugstore products I'd used, is that the formula is very thick and very black. Like, I was a little bit scared of it at first. The hourglass wand doesn't really suggest an intuitive way of applying it, but I've found there are many different looks you can achieve with this just by altering your application. A light touch is a must; if you really comb this through then you'll just get crazy black clumps instead of lashes. You can get very long, fluffy lashes just by gently feathering it through the ends (I usually apply a few coats, letting it almost dry between applications). Or, if you're wanting something heavier, you can sweep this through from base to tip a couple of times and then go through with the end of the want and pull out the corner lashes a bit. This gives you a really intense doll-eyed look which I love. Don't freak out if it gets all over your eyelids over (which will happen, this wand is very smudgey!) - if you wait a minute for it to dry it'll wipe off no sweat with a dry cotton bud, and won't ruin any eyeshadow etc. you had on either! This absolutely lasts all day until you take it off, it can transfer a little to your eyelids while it's still drying so look out for that. It's not waterproof, so is easy to take off with a decent make up remover. I don't often use this product for day wear just because it's so dramatic that it doesn't always look natural, but it's miles ahead of any other mascara I've tried for killer bombshell lashes on a night out.

Tips: Practice makes perfect! This product took me a while to learn to use without looking like a panda, so allow some time to fix any mistakes if you're planning on debuting it for a social event :)

Not better than anything

I had heard of so many things about this mascara that I just had to try it for myself. It is blimmin' expensive and I picked it up in a beautylish haul. May I just mention I hate the name, it is so much of a marketing gimmick. If any mascara lives up to this name you are doing something wrong.

The packaging is pretty intense for this mascara. It feels like a metal tube and has a light pink finish which is pretty cute. The name is embossed down the side which I really like as it means it won't wipe off like so many of my other makeup products. The brush is really fibrous which I like. It seems to be able to get onto every single lash and coat them in plenty of product.

Now the formula of the actual mascara is what I don't really like. When I first got this it was so wet! I put it on and I would always get mascara everywhere. Now I have been applying mascara for quite a few years now so it isn't like I am a novice or anything. So I had seen a few reviews saying this gets better with age so I left it a few months (ignoring best before dates or anything) and tried it again. Suddenly the formula was drier and much easier to use. It still coats every lash in a black as black formula, defines adds volume and keeps my lashes curled. Also I don't find it to hard to remove at all. BUT the reason I won't purchase this again or recommend this to anyone is that it flakes all day. I get to a mirror around 3pm and their are black flakes all around my eyes! It is so annoying because I love the look on my eyelashes but I can't stand the flaking and won't put up with it when there are so many great mascaras out there.

So this mascara is now way past its used by date and I think it is time for me to move on to something (hopefully) better.

Not my favourite

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.

Tips: If you're going to use it I would recommend using it with a defining mascara

love this tiny bottle of wow

I purchased this in a gift pack as I had read reviews and was a bit skeptical. I also purchased the queen size lashes in a full size but I find the BTS waaaay better. the brush is has different size bristles and isn't clumpy. I like thick bold lashes and BTS definitely gives this to you! it didn't flake for me at all. it reminds be of MAC's haute & naughty but BETTER! I love the sleek pink packaging too!

Tips: use 2 coats for an extra dramatic flare!
