This Is How I Really Feel About Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

I noticed that Too Faced started injecting a little Better Than Sex Mascara into their daily social life again. I see you Too Faced! I know your evil master plan! The seasonal makeup trends are shifting slowly this year but whenever we creep into a new season Too Faced likes to throw a little Better Than Sex Mascara into our universe to freak with our minds. It’s their perfect marketing master plan to make us think about buying a new tube of Better Than Sex Mascara even when we don’t want or NEED one. If we see it enough we’ll be conditioned to want it.

For some reason Too Faced is like that girl (ME!) wearing a neon green eyeshadow shade who happens to be convinced it’s her perfect shade of eyeshadow! That’s Too Faced! Simply sitting around crowing about about how great Better Than Sex Mascara is when it’s really not all that and a bag of chips. They really think they have something here. No offense at all if you’re a lover of Better Than Sex Mascara but I happen to be convinced it’s one of thee most over hyped about mascaras in the beauty world. And Covergirl Lash Blast…Oh and Maybelline Great Lash! Who the hell is wearing Great Lash? If you are we demand an intervention!

And P.S. It is so not better than sex…!

All seriousness, I do not understand the joys of Better Than Sex Mascara. It does absolutely nothing for my lashes. I mean, the formula doesn’t clump thankfully and it doesn’t leave me with weird, spidery lashes but it also doesn’t do much in the ways of volume and length for me.

It’s just a crappy mascara that set me back $27 bucks.

But like all good marketing sometimes I’ll get re-drawn into those Too Faced social posts or advertisements enticing me to believe that a mascara is better than sex. And some smart part of me is like, “Maybe I should give it another chance!” like a girl actively seeking out the one man that’s completely toxic for her but she can’t stay away from.

Thankfully, my logical side steps in with a big hell no.

And this, my dear friends, is how I really feel about Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara. I fart in its general direction.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! OMG, Muse I nearly spit my by now lukewarm tea all over the monitor when I saw that!!!

    “your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries” One of the weirdest and yet funniest insults in all of creation… But I fart in your general direction pretty much says it all about a lotta things, crappy overpriced mascara included! And I agree with your assesment about it completely!!

    **still giggling**

    • Isabella Muse

      LOL! God that’s like the best line ever! Seriously. Your mother was a hamster oh my god. I seriously laugh every single time I watch it. It never gets old. And the mascara, ugh, don’t get me started!

  • Catherine

    The first time I used it, I was okay with how it looked, nothing great but nothing horrible. However, a couple of hours after applying, someone asked if I had been crying. I said no and they informed me that my mascara had smeared. When I checked it out, it looked as if I had black rings around my eyes. It was the weirdest thing, never had it happen like that with any other mascara (and I love mascaras and own tons). Decided to try it again when I knew I was just going to be home and the same thing happened. Will never buy again. Better than sex is way overhyped!!!

    • Isabella Muse

      Oh no! That’s horrible! I never had smudging issues or even spidery lashes. It just didn’t really do much at all for me. No drama, no impact! Very over hyped!

    For a while Ulta was determined to give me a sample of BTS every time a day ended in Y. And I hate it. Clumpy and the flakiest mascara I’ve ever tried. Ugh!

    This morning I was at our local Ulta and noticed the TF section is really tiny now. Used to be a big section on a side wall and now it’s probably one-fifth the size on a smaller shelf near the back of the store. Think the brand is dying out?

    • Isabella Muse

      I won’t tell you how many press kits Too Faced sends out with this mascara. It’s obscene! I have like 25 tubes! I donated a bunch to a domestic abuse organization here in New York and I felt guilty about it because lord, who wants this mascara?! Naa! They prob have something good up their sleeves for some relaunch or something! EL has to make that buck back!

  • MDW

    Whenever I see mascara application resulting in five rhino horn bundles of lashes on each eye, I wonder if it’s TF BTS mascara?

  • kjh

    I got a FS freebie from big U, and definitely smelled big hype. It�s in your face figuratively, and then in your face literally. Monty Python forever.

  • Sofia

    Oh man, I loved some Great Lash. My mom wore the teal and the electric blue until they stopped making those colors. The blue was my go to all through high school.

        • Eraser

          Hell no! Check any drugstore! I still use it occasionally and I DON’T need an intervention, if only because I can’t stand paying more than $10 for mascara.

        • Isabella Muse

          everyone we need an intervention for Cindy! LOL! JK! 🙂 If you love it that’s all that matters my love!

          • Cindy

            Haaaaaaa I�m proud to be a product of the 80�s!

  • Miriam

    I could not agree with you more. BTS is the most overrated, overpriced mascara I’ve ever tried. And as bizarre as it sounds, the wand it way too heavy and cumbersome and makes application a pain in the butt.

    • Isabella Muse

      I never had any smearing issues but it just never did a damn thing for my lashes!

  • Melissa

    So glad I�m not the only one who doesn�t like BTS. Don�t care for Great Lash either. Rather have Lanc�me Hypnose or Giorgio Armani black ectasy. Wish CoverGirl would bring back Professional in the blue tube with the curved fluffy brush.

  • Shelly

    Now….we just need some watery TARTE mascara to complete the set …..

  • Susan

    But wait! There’s more! You, Muse, are in luck, as are we all, because TF just announced a BTS perfume!!!

    Make it stop.

    And does it need to be said? If one thinks mascara or perfume is better than sex, you’re doing it wrong. 😉

    • Isabella Muse

      I know LOL! I saw that. Who even knew BTS would inspire a perfume lol! LOL totally agreed!

  • Bella’s Mom

    I couldn’t agree more! I think the girls at Ulta are coached into pushing it on you when you are in the store. I never liked it. It dries out very fast and did absolutely nothing for me.
