Too Faced Better Than False Lashes Lash Extension System Review

Look what came in the mail!
























Step 1 and 3: Activating Mascara and Top Coat




Step 2: Flexistretch™ Nylon Fibers





I was able to try Too Faced's Better Than False Lashes.  Too Faced actually describes this as a Lash Extension System with Flexistretch™ Nylon Fibers.  The set comes with two tubes: One is the mascara base and top coat which looks like your typical mascara, and the other one is like cobweb-engulfed brush.  I know it sounds gross but that's what I thought of when I first saw it.

This system is touted as an alternative to false lashes or lash extensions.  The Flexistretch™ Nylon Fibers melt into the activating mascara to stretch and hold the shape of lashes. The Activating mascara aims to lengthen the appearance of lashes, while the nylon fibers coat the lashes and make it look more lush and voluminous.  In a study, Too Faced claims that 98% saw longer lashes, and 42% saw increase in lash length, and 98% saw an increase in lash volume.  So let's put this to the test!


No mascara


Step 1: Apply Activating Mascara and Top Coat


Like so.


Step 2: Apply Flexistretch™ Nylon Fibers


Step 3: Re-apply Activating Mascara and Top Coat


Take note that I have REALLY short, sparse, stick-straight lashes, which is partly due to my asian genes.  That said, I don't think ANY product will give me super long, super lush lashes. However, this kit did give me the longer lashes I want. I really like the Activating ascara. I might use this on its own even without the Flexistretch™ just because the mascara is good even on its own. The Flexistretch made my lashes look clumpy in the photo, but in real life, it made it look like I had more lashes. As I said, even without the Flexistretch, the Activating Mascara did its job.

Count me as part of the 98% who noticed longer-looking lashes. I think it elongated my lashes and gave them an extra 2 mm in length. I am impressed with the Activating mascara. As for volume, I did see a slight increase, but I was more impressed with the lengthening properties.

All in all, this set is good for those who want to see a marked difference in length and volume.  I like the Flexistretch because it was my first time to use it and it was different from the other lash volume builders that I've tried. However, I liked the Activating mascara even more as it performed really well and lengthened my lashes even on its own.
