Mascara lovers will know how important the perfect lash-lifting formula is. Lengthening, thickening, smudge-proof - the mascara of our dreams would have it all. Luckily, the make-up mavens of the internet seem to have found the holy grail blend - and it comes in the form of Too Faced's humorously-named Better Than Sex mascara.
That's right, the popular American brand's cult product was the most-pinned product on moodboard site Pinterest last year, having been saved by its users a massive 61,000 times (according to the annual Pinterest 100 report). So what's so great about it - aside from the attention-grabbing label?

The secret to Too Faced's hit mascara is the ultra volumising formula, and its fluffy out-and-in wand, which allows you to catch every lash and fan them outwards. This is a mascara for those that want stand out, look-at-me lashes - think big, jet-black and voluptuous - rather than a natural fluttering effect.
Too Faced creator Jarrod Blandino once admitted to Allure magazine that the mascara is his favourite product from the range - because of the years of research and work that went into the unique formula. Of the slightly controversial name - which caused quite a stir when first launched - he said, "When I tried the final version, I screamed, 'Oh, s***, it's better than sex!' Everyone laughed, and I was like, 'Okay, we just got the name.' It was the absolute best mascara I had ever seen, hence the name."

Now where's the nearest Too Faced counter?
