If “just because it’s [INSERT ANY DAY OF THE WEEK]” is a good enough reason for you to wear sequins and four-inch heels, allow me to introduce you to your next mascara, the new Better Than Sex Mascara from Too Faced Cosmetics.
Yeah, I giggle whenever I say the name, like my mom just asked me what mascara I’m wearing and all I can do is grin from ear to ear, giggle maniacally and hold up the pink tube. “Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh…” 🙂
Seriously, the last time I said the word “sex” to my mother was in sixth grade, when I had to get her to sign my permission slip for sex ed, and I still have not recovered from that trauma.
What you need to know
- Contains a film-forming polymer for smudge-proof, all-day wear
- Includes acacia senegal tree extract to nourish, thicken and lock curls into position
- Contains carbon black pigments and peptides for the deepest, most intense black possible
- Too Faced says it took them two years to perfect the formula
- Specializes in adding lash length and separation
- Takes some babying to maintain the curl
- Inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s bombshell curves
Speaking of bombshells, that’s how this mascara makes me feel, but conveying that in pics is easier said than done. Sh*t ain’t easy when you’re trying to channel yo’ sexy and trigger a remote control camera shutter at the same time. Get the timing wrong, and this is what happens…
But the mascara, it does a great job, thanks in large part to its cool, curvy brush.
It’s kind of the business.
See how the bristles are longer at the ends than they are in the middle? Like an hourglass?
Little in the middle but she got much back!
Sorry… I really need to stop quoting Baby Got Back in casual conversation.
So, the brush, it hugs the curve of your lid, separating, coating and curling each lash for an absolutely lovely, unique lash look. I’ve been wearing 2-3 coats.
Can you see how my lashes in the middle look a little longer than the ones on the sides?
Neat, yeah? I’m pretty sure it’s the brush.
