A Surprisingly Bad Dream from Too Faced
Too Faced products rarely disappoint. Some of the best cosmetics on the planet are manufactured by this wondrous company. I was rubbing my hands together with anticipation (okay, not really) awaiting the arrival of "Better Than False Eyelashes Nylon Lash Extension System" from Sephora. That lasted about ten minutes--max. The fibers you apply which adhere to your own lashes were too much like fr...read moreesh-picked cotton! They were too visible, too obvious. I have tried nearly every mascara ever manufactured (including the tiny tubes which enclose lashes), and I knew there was a problem from the start. When I waited and applied the actual color to lashes, the cotton balls morphed into very artificial, crunchy "spider legs." In short, it was a disaster. No, it was beyond a disaster. I am willing to spend any amount of time possible with mascara in order to transform my mini-lashes in Scarlett O'Hara's trance-inducing long, lush ones. I gave this several long tries. It's simply not worth it; I am actually surprised that Too Faced produced it. This does NOTHING for me. I am actually better off with Maybelline New York's "Stiletto" (did I actually just type that?)! The truth is that this is that bad. Please, save your money.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Better than false lashes
Not for me. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but the wand with the fibers was dry. I called Sephora to ask them about it, and they said that's the way it is supposed to be. This mascara did absolutely nothing. And, for the money, I took it back. I now use Urban Decay Big Fatty or Maybelline Illegal lengths with fibers. Try to test the Better than False lashes.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 9 people said helpful

Just horrible....
I didn't even need to buy this to know that it was a bad product. Both my sisters and I tried this in stores and after putting it on, it stuck to our bottom lashes. I've never had this problem with any mascara before! This product was sticky and just a gooey mess. The fibers kept poking our eyes and by the time we wanted to take it off, it is impossible to remove without sacrificing some lashes of ours. Beware pink eye!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Too Faced Better Than False Lashes
I've read both positive and negative reviews all across the board for this product, but sometimes you have to try something out for yourself and see how it performs for you. Like a few other reviewers, I had to make sure the tube of fibers was supposed to be dry before using it. Several people got back to me about it via Sephora's web-site to tell me that yes, it's supposed to be dry and one per...read moreson likened it to dryer lint. Does that sound like something you want near your eyes?! My allergies reacted to the statement alone!! I purposely tried this product out on a day when I had absolutely no make-up on. I didn't want to ruin a full face or even just my eyes if this was a product I couldn't use. For starters, I like the mascara itself. It's labeled a base & top coat, but really, you could wear this mascara all by itself so long as you let it dry thoroughly between coats. The mascara alone works really well. I was VERY hesitant with the fibers. They just plain make me nervous. I applied a light coat to both eyes and then sealed them with the mascara. Was there an immense difference afterwards? Not really. I have long lashes thanks to a product similar to Latisse without the potential side effect of turning my lids brown and/or completely changing my eye color. I wear mascara regardless though because I feel naked without it. Maybe ft I'd used more of the fibers, I would have gotten a dramatic or different effect, but I think the best way to use them is with a light hand, just in case you overdo it. I would not recommend this product at all since it's chock full of parabens. I think it's a neat idea, but could be less messy. If you're going to use it, you want to use it on naturally short to medium length natural lashes, as opposed to lashes that are already long. Also, don't use the fibers on the bottom lashes, just use the mascara, otherwise this is going to be a mess of mass proportions. I do not recommend this for contact lens wearers because of the strong chance of the fibers getting into your eyes during application. And for anyone that DOES decide to purchase and use this, make sure you use a metal lash comb in between each step to really separate your lashes otherwise they can get messy and require the dreaded "do over". Thoroughly clean the lash comb with an antibacterial wipe or spray in between each use. On a whole, I seriously doubt I will ever purchase this product again. Benefit's They're Real mascara does a better job without the hassle and potential for mess.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Not worth the price
Picked this up yesterday for $30. Pricey but I had had my eye on this product for some time and decided to give it a try. Got it home and tried it on clean lashes first applying step 1 (which is pretty much basic mascara) then step 2 (which is a tube full of cotton or some other fluffy fibers) then repeating step 1 until you've achieved your desired length. The mascara dries so super fast and your...read more lashes feel crunchy and super hard after using this. Don't get me wrong, my lashes are massive but definitely not better than falsies. Save your money ladies and stock up on false lashes.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Review subject
At first I was really excited about this product, now not so much! Those little white things get into your eyes and irritates them. Not to mention when you close your eyes your lashes stick together and your eyes are trapped for a few seconds!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

My mother has the shortest lashes on earth. I put this on her following the steps and VIOLA - Beautiful flirty lashes for the first time in her (70 years) of life!!! There are tips from users on sephora because it is a little complicated. The base coat is mean to be sticky so that the fibers (step 2) have something to stick to. Then you must use a lash comb before applying the top coat. Finis...read moreh off with your favorite mascara and then curl once its dry. You will love it!

Wow! Gorgeous lashes!
For once a product lives up to its name. This mascara really IS better than false lashes! You create the length and thickness you want and then it stays til you remove it. It seemed a bit high priced - worth every penny.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 5 people said helpful

Love!!!!
Love everything about this!! Super easy to use. Can build them out as long as you want them while still looking like they are your natural lashes and it does not flake off and end up on your face at all.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 7 people said helpful
