This sharpener breaks a lot of my pencils

. It is a lot less messy though but mine comes apart quite easily which sucks.
Only works with MAC lip liner and kohl

I think my givenchy sharpener I got when purchasing one of their lip liners is soooo much better~

Used this for my powerpoint liner and it doesn't work so great. Kept getting uneven results. Works much better with my lip pencils.

I have TWO of these. I bought the second one because the first one would shred and break any pencil I dared to put into its hole. The second one just doesn't do anything - I can turn the pencils all I want, but nothing happens.

I took them in to my MAC counter (I bought them at the warehouse sale, no can't return) to see if the problem is with me. The first one, she broke one pencil with it and then sharpened another one to a very pointy tip, which I seriously can't replicate at home. Maybe it does depend on the type of pencil. I tried a pearlglide, Annabelle smoothliner, GOSH velvet touch. Broke them all, or sharpened them to a dull, jaggedy point. The second one, she couldn't get it to do anything either.

So now I have 2 useless sharpeners, and apparently you can't even B2M these! But I will surely try.

this one broke all my pearlglides as i expected. so angry about it! i should have bought the small sharpener instead.
the only thing that worked was the lip pencils.

I use a Bourjois dual sharpener and this works well with pearlglides/powerpoints (I found nothing worked on powerpoints previously). Cheap yet works really well and gets an even sharp point each time.
