Too Faced Better than false lashes : Review

I've used many different brands of mascaras. All of which had different results and for the most part I know what brand works for me and usually just stick with it. I saw Too Faced has a product called 'Better than False Lashes'. So I had to try it! I mean who doesn't want longer, thicker looking eyelashes?

What Too Faced Cosmetics says about it: It's not a mascara, it's a miracle! This do-it-yourself lash extension system allows you to achieve the dramatic impact of false lashes AND the extreme length of lash extensions without the hassle, cost or commitment.

This is a simple 3 step system. Prime, Build, and Seal. 

Step one: Apply the activating mascara to create a base for the nylon to adhere.

Step two: Apply 1 - 2 coats of the nylon fibers to build volume and length.

Step three: Finish by sealing the fibers with the activating mascara to create "Better than false lashes" look.

The application was extremely easy! But I had a few issues with this product. 

I found when applying the activating mascara that it made my eyelashes extremely sticky. Especially if you put it on your lower lashes as well, making your eyelashes stick together. Even if you didn't put it on the bottom I found it would sometimes still stick to them.

I had to be careful with the Nylon fibers. If your not cautious you get them in your eye and thats not the greatest feeling. 

I didn't get the dramatic look I was hoping for. This product definitely made my lashes a little longer but as for volume, I didn't see that. It also was quite clumpy looking and the fall out was pretty bad. Nothing like walking around with black specks under your eyes!

I also tried using one of my other mascaras from a different brand and I felt like it did a better job when not using the mascara that came with this. With using a different brand I still didn't see much difference in volume though.

Overall, I don't think I can recommend this to anyone. What works for one, doesn't work for all. I feel this product is good for lengthening and that's about it. For the price I feel like I can find cheaper alternatives. I wanted to love this, but I can't.

You can find Too Faced Better than False Lashes for $35 at Ulta, Sephora, and Too Faced.
