Why is it that I don’t mind shilling out for the any high-end hair treatment but when it comes to the basic things, I don’t really care for them as much?
Case in point: my eyeliner sharpener. I think I bought a cheap one from Shoppers Drug Mart 10 years ago and kept using it even though it was terrible. It kept breaking the pencils (which are really soft) and so I would run out of eyeliner so quickly. And even though I realized that it wasn’t very good, I kept using it.
I finally bought a new sharpener today. It is Urban Decay’s Grind House and I went for it because it has the slot for a thicker eyeliner if that needs sharpening. I have a few chubby gloss sticks so I thought it would be prudent to have that liner.
The sharpener is pretty good – it does the job although it doesn’t give me a super-fine point. I’m happy with it and my pencils are now all in great condition (I went through my makeup collection and sharpened all my eye pencils!). I got it for $13.50 at Sephora.
OMG! I totally agree! I had this regular pencil sharpener sharpening my GOSH velvet touch, and I wasted so much of my eye liners. I hated that, so I am going towards all “let’s twist” now. But after started using CoverGirl Sharpener, my eyeliners are way better shaped and they never break again! Woohoo.
Go professional!
Not to mention its very pretty too (^_^)
It’s so pretty!
