Beauty | Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

After what felt like forever of this product holding pride of place at the top of my beauty wishlist, I became the proud owner of the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara on Christmas Day (thank you ever so much Santa, you lovely thing) and I have honestly fallen completely and utterly in love with it. Whilst I'm a definite drugstore makeup girl at heart, I do love a good high end mascara or two so this cult favourite was right up my street.
 
Now before we even begin to consider the product itself I just have to pay tribute to the sheer beauty of the packaging - Too Faced how do you create such stunning items? I'm a sucker for a good bit of beauty packaging (a fact I feel no one but fellow beauty bloggers will understand) and this particular product is housed in one of the best examples out there. I'm all for the don't judge a book (or makeup product) by its cover malarkey but boy does this give off the luxury vibe, that the product lives up to might I add. It truly is a delight to have on my dressing table.

Part of what has influenced my new found obsession with this product is its stunning hourglass shaped brush that comes ready to curl and volumise your lashes to absolute perfection. As I've been blessed with long lashes anyway, volume is at the top of my wishlist in terms of mascara qualities as opposed to length enhancement and this product doesn't disappoint.
 

My one dislike in regards to the brush was the fact that the size of it does make application to the lower lashes a rather tricky task if you aspire to do it without being left with what feels like half a tube of mascara surrounding your under-eye. For this reason I've taken to using Better than Sex on the upper lashes and my much loved Benefit Limited Edition Swarovski They're Real! Mascara on my lower lashes. This beautiful pairing leaves my lashes dressed to impress.

Formula-wise this baby ticks all the boxes; it's the sort of thing that makes me wish amazeballs was a word in the English dictionary purely so I could slot it into the post. Not only was application completely smooth, with noticeable results from the first coat, once on it lasted all day long with absolutely no flaking or smudging at all. And once the day had reached its close at it was time to remove the days makeup, it practically slid off with assistance from my Garnier Micellar Water.
 
When trialling a new mascara I crave a rich jet-black colour to coat my lashes with and this was completely fulfilled by this particular product. It truly is blacker than black and I am just in love.
 

I'm delighted to report that since this mascara first became a staple in my makeup bag (however recently that may have been) I've had many a incredibly positive comment about the false lash effect it has created; what more could you ask for?
 
Overall the Better Than Sex mascara will be right down your alley if you're after a product that will wave a magic wand and gift you dramatic intense lashes that ooze curl and volume. Too Faced is also of course a completely cruelty-free brand which only adds to the sheer amazingness of this product. Is it better than sex though? I'll let you answer that question yourselves.
 
The Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara retails at £18.00 and can be purchased online here.

  1. Ooh this sounds like such a lovely mascara - I'm more concerned with volume than length.
