Reddit user Lickingblankets raved about a drugstore beauty product.
It’s an affordable must-have mascara that does a fantastic job.
She raved in a after about the Maybelline The Falsies Lash Lift Washable Mascara, $9.50.
“This mascara is the REAL formula/applicator dupe of the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara,” she wrote.
She called it her “absolute favorite.”
The Too Faced Better Than Sex Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara is available at Ulta for $29.
You can achieve the same results for a significantly lower price by purchasing the Maybelline dupe on Amazon.
The Redditor added that a few years ago, there was a mascara for sale on TikTok that came in a pink tube.
It was ‘touted as a knock-off of Better Than Sex.’
“I think it was just a copy of the packaging, nothing more,” she admitted.
The Redditor wasn’t the only one who thought the Maybelline purchase was a dupe of the Too Faced product.
Makeup enthusiasts wrote rave reviews about its benefits.
One woman called it the “best Better Than Sex Dupe” and gave it a five-star rating.
“I found this on TikTok so I wasn’t sure if I would like it! I’ve always loved Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara but I hated the price!” she said.
“This is the best imitation I have found and at a much more affordable price.”
She wasn’t the only one who thought this way.
Another fan shared that he/she previously used Maybelline Sky High or Volume Express mascara.
After throwing away their expired tubes, they decided to ‘do it differently’ and ‘take the risk’.

“I thought it would be a carbon copy of Too Faced’s Better Than Sex because of the shape of the brush, but the formula is also excellent,” she praised.
She added that it gave her “lots of volume and enough separation.”
“It will clump if you put too much on, but what mascara doesn’t do that lol. Just watch how many coats you apply and you’re good to go,” she advised.
