Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Review

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.

I was really excited to try this and absolutely loved the packaging and the tube it comes in, however, that's where my love for it faded.

I had to remove a lot of product before application, I did love the brush design and have since purchased a mascara with a similar brush.

The initial reaction was great, rich black colour and elevated my eyelashes nicely, however, over the course of the day it constantly flaked causing irritation to my eyes.

I was extremely disappointed and while I tried to use as much of the mascara as I could, it had to be in short bursts to avoid the flakiness.

I'm sad to say I can't recommend this product but may try it again one day (just in case it was a dud batch).

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.

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!

I have absolutely no love for this mascara. I had been waiting a long time to try this (i.e. get through the rest of my mascara stash first!) Sadly it has been a big disappointment. Firstly I do not like the hour glass shaped wand. I find I end up depositing mascara on my eyelids every time. This may be because I wear glasses and can't easily judge how close the brush is. This I can almost forgive, but the smudging I can not. It doesn't matter how carefully I apply this or how long I wait for it to dry, I always end up with some on my under eye area. I've never been one to suffer from panda eyes until I tried this. I doesn't do anything for my lashes either and leans towards 'spidery' so this has no redeeming features for me at all. Luckily I only have a mini of this that I got in a gift pack, so in the bin it goes. This is one I'm not even waiting for the 3 month expiry before I bin it!

Terrible. I got this thinking it would be amazing. I have quite long lashes but this just clumped and made my eye lashes look like spider legs. Terrible. I wouldn't recommend nor would I repurchase. I guess on the flip side, the emptier it got (yes I carried on using it, this girl doesn't have that kinda money to be throwing it away) the better it became. It still left black fibres under my eyes. And I still had to use my empty mascara as a spooley to de clump it.
