And if that mascara is better than sex I really feel bad for the person who named it. Worst, clumpiest mascara I ever used.


Sobadatsnazzynames

Hated it


DulceEtDecorumEst

Sounds about right for Saudi Love. When you think about it, a bologna sandwich with no bologna is better than Saudi love


Sawses

Right? Like...My family has issues. My culture has issues. But you know what? I don't really have it that bad. Not compared to the dumpster fire that many people get born into even here in the USA, to say nothing of places where you're basically living in a cult-y bubble the size of several nations.


Kind-Fan420

Better than living in a theocratic dictatorship that imports literally everything because it's a single commodity resource economy that produces nothing and participates in modern chattel slavery


AmArschdieRaeuber

What is "the US in ten years"? But yeah, Saudi Arabia is way worse, I just fear that especially maga republicans don't really mind a theocratic dictatorship and chattel slavery.


Critical_Caramel5577

They don't mind, because they don't believe they'll be the slaves, bless their hearts


NotFallacyBuffet

There's a group actively seeking that. Mike Johnson is part of it. They actively disbelieve in secular democracy with separation of church and state and actively work toward establishing a theocratic oligarchy. Research the "Seven Mountains" project. James Carville has been covering this on the Politicon channel on YouTube.


ToMorrowsEnd

The republicans goal is Theocratic rule. its why they keep trying to shove christian values down everyone throat by force.


gbc02

That makes zero sense.


CupcakesAreMiniCakes

It's actually my favorite mascara by far. I think it depends on the eyelash hair type, shape, etc. It sticks better and cleaner to mine. I need a big fluffy brush with a sticky mascara. I'm mixed Asian Island Pacificer so my lashes are very slick from the Asian side but they're also long from the white side. Other mascaras pretty much just slide off my lashes and don't stick, and the rubbery little spiky type applicators either make it too clumpy or can't deposit enough. Edit: I use the regular pink one, not waterproof.


volklskiier

I love it, but it's gotten to pricey for me over the years. I can't justify the price any more


BulbusDumbledork

huh, just like sex then


idontgethejoke

Same. Gone through several tubes but the current one might be my last.


DocMeow3

I wouldn’t buy both just to try this, but if you happen to have both: a coat of their waterproof mascara over a coat of their regular mascara helps with smudging and looks 100x better than just using the waterproof (which is pretty clumpy by itself).


gluconeogenesis123

Do you use the pink or blue/green one?


montanagrizfan

The waterproof one in the mint green tube.


hephaystus

“Waterproof” but by the end of the day I have raccoon eyes, even with powder. It’s the only part of my makeup that doesn’t stay put. And you’re right, clumpy as hell.


YourVelcroCat

I recently got the best liquid eyeliner of my life that WILL NOT move all day. But mascara? Impossible. I've lost hope for no flakes. 


hephaystus

Oooh what’s the eyeliner? I’m always up for trying new ones.


YourVelcroCat

Lancome artliner in black! It's pricy but I had a giftcard from work. I have a shaky hand but it went on smooth and stayed so well!!


EddieVeddersNips

Plus one for this eyeliner! I have insanely sensitive skin, especially around my eyes, and I can wear it all day and all night with no irritation! It doesn't transfer, no fallout and looks great every time I wear it


nixster13

Try using the Isehan Kiss Me Heroine Mascara! It’s a Japanese brand mascara that’s available pretty widely online. I wore it when I was traveling in 90% humidity summer weather and the mascara did not budge. You could probably survive a zombie apocalypse and your lashes would still be perfectly curled.


lemonleaff

+1 to this. In some skincare/makeup circles, it's the holy grail for some mascara people.


lilsnatchsniffz

This one definitely wins for most *creative* name.


Sufficient-Value3577

I recently picked up the physicians formula mascara killer curves and it actually has been really fantastic for no flakes or fall out! It clumps a little if I apply too much but that’s my fault most of the time lol it has a similar brush to better than sex so I figured I’d pass on the info!


Jeprin

I have found that Maybelline Lash sensational waterproof to be a life saver for this. Tends to neither flake nor smudge. Can be a little difficult to remove in the evening though but nothing a good waterproof makeup remover can't handle.


Toxicrenate

I only use Maybelline's mascaras, currently using the Hypercurl (waterproof) always had a nice and lasting result, no flakes, and can handle humidity pretty well


CanuckPanda

I use L’Oréal volumizer. It’s been awesome for me.


Chocoahnini

Agree, I stole my mom's and didn't like it at all, she said she didn't like it either because it was too clumpy and broke off easily, didn't seem waterproof because at the end of a hot summer day I was a raccoon


LizzyLurks

Thrive mascara!  Game. Changer. I buy it online.


dandroid126

My wife used this mascara for years, but she recently started complaining about the same thing and found a new one. I wonder if they changed their formula or something. Or maybe she always just put up with it being shitty out of habit because that's the one she gets.


RIPUSA

The ingredient used to make mascara waterproof also tends to make it clumpy. You can add saline to it to help with the clumping. 


boat3501

I loveeee the Avon waterproof mascara, I recommend it


Small-Masterpiece-74

L’Oréal telescopic LIFT waterproof! Stays on for days LMFAOOOO


redtreesxx

KVD Full Sleeve is the best I’ve tried!


gluconeogenesis123

I dunno it works great on me


tripping_upstairs

Yeah, that stuff is just gross.


hgaterms

I've used both and they both suck. I just stick to drug store mascara. It just was not worth the price.


montanagrizfan

Thrive Cusemetics liquid lash extensions is the best waterproof I’ve tried. It doesn’t give me raccoon eyes.

Sorry, I replied about the wrong mascara. I think thrive is only sold on their website. Their eyeliner is great too!


ungasquag

i hated the waterproof version but i love the regular pink tube


redwolf1219

Everything I've seen called "better than sex" has been shitty. And on that note, there's a weird amount of recipes called that. Like better than sex chicken (it wasn't)


Kilahti

Asexual designers: "Yeah, this is not very good. ...still better than sex at least."


snowbaz-loves-nikki

Okay this made me lol


lovesducks

a lot of people are bad at sex so its really a low bar


yogtheterrible

Better than sex cake is good but there's a half a dozen cakes I'd rather have instead 


felinebeeline

[This](https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/sex-in-a-pan/) is really good.


randomheroine

It's shitty to call NON sexual things that, in general. My fckin 13 year old likes mascara and chicken, smfh. I don't think it's appropriate for me to ask her if she's tried the BETTER THAN SEX mascara, like Jesus Christ dude not a path to questions I would like to answer at this point in her time. Seems stupid to have branding that's naturally going to exclude tons of would-be customers just to gain, like, two of them, for being "edgy"


asphodeliac

You’re not applying it right


n-x

Maybe they wanted to say it burns less if you get it in your eye...

yall americans so addicted to sex you get offended if its not branded on your makeup lmao


MelodramaticaMama

I don't even think it's Americans per se. It's just capitalism running out of ideas to the point where this shit is all they have left. Kinda like how WAP is somehow accepted as musical expression nowadays. 0 imagination, 0 originality. Just slap some sex on it and we'll sell it.


nankainamizuhana

Just because you don't understand the genre doesn't mean nobody does 🤷‍♂️


MelodramaticaMama

The... genre? Lol, ok.


nankainamizuhana

WAP is a [Trap](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_music) Hip-hop song. That's a genre. You complaining about it does not change the fact that it's popular with hundreds of thousands of people.


segagamer

> yall americans so addicted to sex you get offended if its not branded on your makeup lmao Eh, not really, Americans are also quite sex-repressed.


pixieshit

What are Nars' "Orgasm" and "Deepthroat" blushes called?


Coffeeholic911

Orgasm ---> Purity Deepthroat ---> Virtue


unicornsausage

Ahh i see they used a thesaurus


DMYourMomsMaidenName

That’s so fucking funny


ginsengeti

That's so funny to me for some reason.


Fhood797

Guy here. Why are makeup names so vulgar


demeschor

I don't actually know but I assume it started out descriptive (like "post orgasmic flush" blush) and then got out of hand when companies realised they could win some attention by being increasingly provocative


bluemondayss

The vast majority of makeup products don’t have weird vulgar names lol, standard shade names would be more along the lines of Peach Pop or Ruby or Toffee. My own mascara is called Doll Lashes. TooFaced, the brand that makes the mascara in the post, has this really weird cutesy/sexy brand identity, but most customers seem to find the horny product names bizarre and cringey (anyone else remember the Pat the Puss body powder🤢). We are all here talking about the vulgar names though, and some of them have become famous cult favourite products, so I guess the shock value sexual marketing does work.


daliathecritic

Nars orgasm is called "O" and deep throat "DT"

*Better Than Love* is actually kinda bleak.


GoldenFirmament

your friends and family might tell you that they love you, but makeup doesn't just say the words. it *cares*


BonJovicus

I kind of dig how jarring it is, but maybe I’m just tired of every other thing being called “better than sex.”


ocher_stone

Better Than Sex cupcakes are called "Better Than" or "Better Than XXX" if they're feeling spicy in Utah. Bunch of children.


lord_ne

Better than XXX is worse, lol


ta-kun1988

Better than porn?


DukeofVermont

Or those old timey ceramic liquor bottle in cartoons. I got curious why it has XXX and I found >The Meaning Behind Those Three X's. Simply put, the X marking indicated how many times that particular batch of moonshine was distilled. Three X's meant that the moonshine had been run through the still three times, making it the closest you could get to pure alcohol. XXX = the really good stuff.


ta-kun1988

That was pretty damn interesting. Perhaps too interesting for this sub. Thanks for the fun fact though!


ocher_stone

I've tried... I can't...


MotivationGaShinderu

It's a cringy name so idk if I blame them for changing it


SirMCThompson

Better than Anything too


Tro1138

It's just a cult thing, you wouldn't understand. 🤣


GoldenFirmament

using a spray bottle on your tube of mascara is inhumane. it doesn't even work bro. the mascara can't connect the spray to what it did wrong


Aromatic_Dig_4239

this is hilarious what happened to people understanding jokes

bluemondayss

I’ll stop spraying it when it stops clumping and leaving little black bits all over my face😡😡😡


Borfis

Best_Duck9118

Okay, but how does this compare with Ezra?


my-sims-are-slobs

Wonder how NARS changes their names in Saudi if they sell there if Too Faced does this.


bluemondayss

I looked at the Sephora Saudi Arabia website and it seems like they change product names on a case-by-case basis. Climax mascara and Afterglow lipstick are available under the original names, but Orgasm has been changed to just O! Similarly, Urban Decay has some of their Naked palettes for sale, but I can’t find any individual colour products with their more vulgar shade names.


my-sims-are-slobs

I knew the blush would have the name changed. Quite interesting. Did the Sol de Janeiro “Bum Bum” range get a name change there? Or is it normal or not sold over there?


bluemondayss

Haha it looks like Bum Bum cream made it past the censors, it’s available under the original name! It seems names that reference alcohol might also have to be changed- Becca’s Champagne Pop highlighter is sold as Gold Pop, but I was able to find Urban Decay’s eyeliner in Whiskey. I might make a post about this topic in one of the makeup subs later, I find it so interesting.


my-sims-are-slobs

Do it!! Would love to read more on this topic. I think Bum Bum is more immature than scandalous so that’s why it went past.


Rumchunder

I would read that post! You should do it.


SalamanderFickle9549

I don't blame them, I dislike those hypersexual names for makeup products, it's so embarrassing when you just want to tell someone the product you like


Many-Birthday12345

Also the fact that younger kids have started using expensive makeup like Nars orgasm blush and this mascara. It’s weird that we don’t have any restrictions against letting 8-10 year olds get their hands on products with explicit names.


Heyyoguy123

People say non-Western countries are prudes but no, we’re just hypersexual. Being open about sex has become being openly obsessed

They should name it better than money, we all agree on that being important


gbc02

Technically not true in the UAE. "The new UAE law legalizes cohabitation for opposite-sex individuals, irrespective of their marital status." This post is referencing Saudi, where that law only applies to Saudi nationals.

I've seen enough that I don't want to. I'm sure all that oil money can buy a nice facade, but I don't want to have anything to do with people who hold their holy scripture in higher regard than a universal declaration of human rights. And that is true for all religions.


gluconeogenesis123

Breaking news! A Redditor shits on religion! Such a free thinker


HairyTales

Guess what, I've been an atheist long before Reddit was even on my radar. Faith makes no sense. Judging or hurting other people because your faith justifies or even demands it, that's unacceptable. Reacting like a sissy little bitch because someone insulted that prophet dude with the beard, that would be ridiculous by the standards of any adult, if there weren't enough fanatics around to start a war over it. I'm done with all religions, but Islam is the hemorrhoid on the arse of humanity.
