Better Than Sex?

$23 w/out tax at my Sephora




The hourglass brush that they claim that they have is actually not very hourglass-y. It is much less pronounced than the Rimmel's sexy curves mascara wand. When I pull the wand out there is a good amount of product on the bristles without being goopy (hooray!) and there is little product at the tip that I have to scrape off (hooray!)
No mascara and no curling

No mascara but curled lashes//my lashes are naturally long but don't hold curl well and are thin

First coat of mascara

Side view of about two coats of mascara

As many coats as possible before they started getting a little clumpy 

I am an absolute mascara fanatic and I do love the really thick, long, out there lashes. Mine are naturally long but thin and tend to fall out of their curl as soon as mascara is put on them. The better than sex mascara is nothing special at first coat and even as I build it on it does a good job of lengthening and ok job at volumizing and a not so great job at keeping a nice NATURAL curl. All in all I think it's a pretty good mascara and would be amazing on people with naturally curly lashes or for people mainly looking for length because it tens to get clumpy when you go for more volume. After wearing it all day there were no flakes and very minimal smudging! 

Length: 9/10
Volume: 7/10
Curl: 4/10 
Separation: 8/10
Would I buy again?: I wont return it and if I couldn't get ahold of my favorite mascara (fairy drops) then maybe

  1. Great review. I was considering trying this. I'm currently using benefit's They're Real. I'm not entirely impressed with it and I had a better experience with their Bad Gal Lash. I also loved Tarte's lights, camera, lashes! Gotta love Sephora's return policy! :)

    1. Thank you! Yessss, Sephora is amazing with their return policy. I'm probably going to be doing many many mascara reviews just because I am completely in love with mascara :) I'll try out the Tarte one!
