Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Review
You know I’m a straight up falsies fiend so it’s not often that I go running to try the latest mascara. My short, super curly lashes just don’t benefit from them the way I’d like. But that didn’t stop curiosity from killing the cat when I finally decided to checkout Too Faced’s new Better Than Sex Mascara. Between the cute packaging, cheeky name and the cult following its developed I knew it was time to finally give this baby a try.
Do I think it’s really better than sex? Well. That depends on the kind of sex you’re having. LOL! But in all seriousness, Too Faced did manage to get me a little hot in the socks after a couple coats of Better Than Sex. It’s still no savior for my hopeless lashes alone but it’s a killer companion for my falsies. I love coating my bottom lashes with 2 different mascaras for a full doll eye look loaded with volume, length and curl. With Better Than Sex, one is definitely more than enough to give my lashes the drama I need.
I’m not the biggest fan of the huge, chunky wand because it grips way too much product but once I wipe the excess off it’s smooth sailing. Better Than Sex is easy to apply and offer lots of volume and curl with a little length too. The formula isn’t waterproof but it still holds up extremely well on my watery eyes lasting well over 8 hours without smudging or flaking. I think Better Than Sex works well for gals with short lashes but it’s truly a miracle worker for gals with long lashes. I’ve been trying it on all of my clients and it’s been a hit every time!
If your lashes need a little extra volume and curl then I absolutely recommend heading to your local Ulta or Sephora for a Better Than Sex demo!
Before
After
I loved what Better Than Sex mascara did for my lashes, but after about 3-4 days I started having an allergic reaction to it. It sucks having sensitive eyes.
Oh no!! I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope it didn’t cause you too much trouble! Have you tried Benefit’s They’re Real? It’s another favorite of mine that reminds me of Better Than Sex. Maybe that one will work better for you
It just made my eyes water. I quit using it after 4 days, and the watering stopped. I’m allergic to most mascaras, though. Benefit’s They’re Real works for me. So does UD Perversion and Tarte Lights, Camera, Flashes.
Okay good. I’m glad they didn’t swell or anything. How do you like the Tarte mascara? I was thinking of trying it since I just ordered the Tartelette palette
I love the Tarte mascara. It makes lashes look really, really long. Their Opening Act mascara primer is great, too.

This is by far the best thickening mascara I’ve ever tried. It smudges on my upper lid mid day though. I have to fix my eye makeup when I wear it. Still use it though. That volume is worth a little clean up.
I wish my lashes were long enough to have that kinda problem lol. It’s definitely worth it though! I’ve been trying it on clients all week and every single one bought a tube afterwards. It’s just too good!
Yup! Without a doubt my HG mascara. <3
It’s now mine too. I can’t get enough of it
Btw, if you want a killer lower lash mascara that doesn’t clump or make a huge mess, try NYX’s Full Figured mascara. It’s the only one I use for the lowers now. It’s got a nice, teeny wand with tons of bristles. =)
