This review is on the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, I figured I'd give this a try after seeing Leesha from Xsparkage using it so many times and I got a trial size in something else I bought which is always a plus!
Anyway onto the photos!

My Final Thoughts: My lashes are short, sparse, and don't want to hold a curl at all, so I am in dire need of mascara to help them actually stand out. Most mascaras might make them darker, and maybe curl a tiny bit, this mascara though made me say to myself "Holy crap self, YOU HAVE LASHES!" and proceed to dance around the room.
I'm not a guru on mascaras, I don't know a ton about what the newest innovations are in the lash world. I do know however this product makes me think I'm wearing extensions on my lashes (the picture didn't do it justice, maybe it was the angle I was at but these suckers could be seen really well and looked really good). Most times I'll put on a mascara and it'll just be "meh" and then I'll throw on some false lashes and call it a day, with this one I felt like it'd be ok to go out and about without falsies.
If you're having issues with too much mascara on the wand (usually standard thing with all mascaras) try using a clean mascara comb or disposable clean wand and brush through your lashes after application. This one actually also held more of a curl for me than any others I've tried, most of the time I have zero curl left after it's been applied. I may try investing in a heated curler though to help with holding onto a curl even more because this mascara would look even more fab if my lashes would stay up.
Would I purchase again? Definitely! This is my new favorite mascara, and I have to say (sssshh, don't tell my husband) this might just be better than sex! I will definitely be purchasing a full size when this one runs out!
Do you own this? What are your thoughts?
