Too Faced Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System – Rave Review!
I’m not easily impressed when it comes to mascaras. For some reason, my lashes do not read the ads. They do not understand most “no clump” formulas and they certainly don’t behave when told to lengthen. But, when Too Faced Cosmetics sent over their newest creation, I was intrigued. I’ve tried 2 step systems before and I’m not a fan of the primer/mascara combo. It’s not for me. Too many steps, too much time working out clumps and trying to coax my lashes into a presentable position.
This, however, is something new. What it is (according to Sephora’s website): “A three-step lash extension system that includes an activating mascara base and top coat and Flexistretch™ nylon lash fibers.” The ads do go on a bit longer about the effects you will acheive and there are of course, the unbelievably fake looking yet ever present ad campaign photos that never depict what an actual human’s lashes ever look like. I didn’t read any of it. I didn’t compare my mere mortal lashes to the girl on the box with amazon fringe. I just decided to try it blindly, and this is what I experienced. Even though this is a 2 part / 3 step system, because the steps are simple and the formula goes on like butter, it’s not time consuming at all. My lashes were devilishly long, unclumpy, believable looking, thicker looking and at the end of the day it was easy to remove. Because this is not a waterproof formula I did have some movement, but not too bad and no flaking! I’m not sure how this formula would hold up on humid hot days or long dance-filled nights, but I certainly did look and feel quite glam while running errands.
Verdict: You need it!
Pros:
Dramatically lengthens lashes without clumping, easy to use, easy to remove and makes you feel like a million bucks!
Does not contain: Sulfates, Synthetic Fragrances, Phthalates, GMOs, Triclosan
Beautiful packaging
Cons:
Some movement throughout the day & pricy at $35

Thank you and welcome! I hope to have more time to devote to this as my son starts into school. I so appreciate the support and you taking the time to visit. xo
Angela
You are so welcome. I'm glad that's helpful!

I love when you do your reviews and give the pros and cons, it really helps out whether I'm going to try the product or not, thanks!
Raqueta Sisson
I love their products. This is my first time ever joining a blog. Everything is beautiful and immaculate

If you are unsure, be sure to pick it up at Sephora. They have a fantastic return policy, just keep your receipt and you can return any used item with no hassle. xo
Joanna
I am a bit iffy on trying this product. Though I have great reviews on it.
Cica
I liked this since I saw the banner on some site, and I just saw it in Sephora, I would love to try it.

I've only ever tried lash primers a couple times, and not with good results, as they tended to create more clumps than anything, at least for my lashes...but maybe I should give it another go?...
Angela
Oh no! I hadn't heard that and I haven't had issues. I wonder what's in it that is causing a reaction?
Tami
I loved this but it triggers allergies within a couple of days of use. Anyone else experience this?
MELISSA MARTINEZ
would love to try a cheap drugstore dupe can be the wet n wild Clinique mascara and clinical serum
Angela
I'm wearing it in my giveaway video. I've heard all kinds of reviews, but I really loved it. It's not an every day mascara for me, but if I want drama this is what I grab! xo
Jessica
I was so close to buying this at sephora the other day...but i didn't because it was so expensive! ive heard mixed reviews on it so I didnt want to spend that much on it...in canada its even more expensive!! Maybe ill try it now that you suggested it :)
Angela
If you like a more natural look and you hate clumps, try the Covergirly Lash Blast Fusion mascara. It is amazing and looks so natural. It's featured in my favorites post on my blog. xo
Sophia
Definitely intriguing review. I'm thinking of buying one. Although I really don't trust mascaras really. The clumps are a bother to me. :)
Angela
I'll be sending lots of lash growth vibes to you, my dear! xxo
Angela
I hope you love it like I do! xoxo
Angela
Maybe you can get a hold of a sample of it, or if you are near a Sephora they can demo it for you. You can always return it to Sephora if it doesn't work for you. I think it's definitely worth a try! xo
Angela
I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't try it myself! So glad to remind you of this. I know you'll love it! xo
Angela
I haven't seen a system like this from Tarte. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks! xo
Angela
You will adore this mascara! Definitely dramatic. xo
Angela
So glad you loved it! It's become my go-to for crazy long lashes ; ) xo
Angela
You are so welcome. Glad it was helpful! xo

Bethany
Oh - and the other cool thing si Too Faced is cruelty-free, which is always a plus :-)
Bethany
Thank you so much for this review! I've been debating on whether or not to try this out, but now I think I may give it a go! Once I get the money saved up that is lol :-)
Brenda C.
Reminds me of the tarte system.
Brenda
This sounds like the same system that Tarte has. I love the Tarte one. Eventhough it's pretty pricey, they use a lot of natural ingredients an it works! This looks like it's slightly less pricey so I'd be willing to give it a whirl.
Christine
Angela, one of the makeup girls at Sephora used this on me one day and it really does work! I don't know why I haven't bought my own yet, but thank you for reminding me! I love this new mascara and I'm running out to buy my own tomorrow :) Thanks for the review!
Cindy
Im addicted to this!!
Jennifer Ricketts
I am nervous about trying this I have seen a couple of tutorials and they have been with mixed results. With the lofty price tag I am still not sure I am going to buy this one.
Giulia
Wow, this really IS a convincing review! My lashes behave just like yours, I think I'm going to try this...
Elizabeth V
I will have to save ;) but, I'm intrigged lol can't wait to afford it and try it, thanks for the review!!!
MakeUpNaive
I just trimmed my lashes, dont ask why even me dont know why i did it even i cant justify what i just did, so this has to wait for my lashes to grow back. P
Angela
Please do! I was a total skeptic, but I'm wanting to wear this every day now. Even on "no makeup" days ; ) I think you'll love it! xo
Andrea
I just bought mine. Haven't tried yet, but I will let you what I think know when I do try them. Thanks for the review, it made feel less guilty for spending $35 on a mascara.
