If I like -Too faced, better than sex mascara...

[ToastyFingers]

Is there a cheaper brand that will offer similar results? The ol' bank balance is a little low this month but I really need to replace my mascara.

What do you use? Does anyone have any recommendations?

Not sure - but try TK max as they sometimes have two faced mascara there

I didn't know that, I'm miles away from the nearest one, I wonder if they'll have any online.

L'Oreal Lash Paradise is supposed to be an almost exact dupe for the Two Faced one.

Haven't tried the latter but the L'Oreal one is great. Very dramatic.

Second the L’Oreal one (it’s in a gold tube). I actually prefer it to the Too Faced one! Their Voluminous mascara is excellent too.

I second L'Oreal Lash Paradise, I used to use Too Faced Better Than Sex but actually prefer the L'Oreal one.

As a better than sex (waterproof) mega fan I'm sorry but the answer is nope.

Save yourself the hassle and but the tester size from Debenhams for £10 until you get paid or whatever.

I decided I was no longer spending an entire £20 on mascara anymore and have tried approx. 8360 exaggeration chepaer mascaras, all recommended either on here or in magazines etc and they are all terrible and made me have a breakdown every morning so I just bought better than sex and sucked it up.

Probably spent a fortune on other mascaras that will never see the light of day ever again

To be fair haven't tried the Loreal one...

DD has used the BTS one but it got claggy quite quick.

She also likes -
Tarte - 'Tartiest' and I think 'Lights Camera Action'
UD 'Troublemaker'

I pay for her make-up so I'll only buy her one/two at a time (and stick with the 3 months open rule)

I've bought a couple of W7 (I don't wear make-up regularly so no point me spending £20 on a mascara and throw it out) , I haven't used them yet.

Ooh that's interesting,quite a few people have mentioned the L'Oreal one, so that's a very strong contender! I might pop into bootsand have a look tomorrow.

Thanks so much everyone!

I loved the Paradise one, but it dried up very quickly. Does anyone else have the same experience?

Yeah I did. You get about 6-8 weeks from it only. Its v v expensive here in Ireland so I don't think I can keep repurchasing that often tbh.

My paradise one dried out within the month. I now use L’Oréal baby roll instead.

I found the Paradise mascara was clumpy and unusable within a few weeks. Shame as its an excellent mascara!

Most of the Maybelline mascara I've tried are excellent.

I thought this link is a really helpful guide to different effects! www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/beauty-hair/makeup/a20999/best-mascaras-tested/

Too Faced Better Than Sex is my absolutely favourite too! I must say that the recent L'Oréal Paradise is a very good dupe. I have an article on my blog comparing them! It's a great budget alternative x

I had not heard about Too Faced before today. I picked up Too Faced Size Queen Mascara in TK Maxx for £5.99!!! It's bloody awesome. There were two in the stand, I'm going past the shop taking DD somewhere at 6pm so I'm going to pop and and buy the other one if it is still there.

Reading online Size Queen has been discontinued which I suppose is why it's in TK Maxx.

BTW it is better than Benefit They're Real which is what I normally buy (for about £20). I'm a convert, pity they are not making it any more!

I tried the Two Faced one, lasted a few weeks and went clumpy. I now use this one and it is fantastic

Thanks the advise about mascaras I got the l oreal paradise extatic not used it yet as I got a few days ago . Just read the posts now . Will try it and post about it .
