I received this in the Incredible Eyes Beauty Box, which has since sold out. This dual sharpener comes with a standard size sharpener slot, and a larger size, as well as a clear plastic case to catch the shavings. Both sides can be opened to empty out shavings.
The standard-sized sharpener slot works pretty well. It has sharpened my makeup pencils without splitting the leads. However, the big fault with this sharpener is that the larger slot is too small for any of my larger makeup pencils. I have several, and none of them fit it, so that side is useless.
Another drawback is that both sides of the sharpener often pop off when you use it, spilling shavings everywhere. This is not ideal when sharpening a red lip-liner pencil!
So unfortunately I cannot recommend this sharpener.
I have to say this is the best 11.99 I have spent for a long time. This sharpener takes 3 sizes actually. Your typical eye liner or lip liner pencil, your larger pencils like chubby lippies and then in the big hole there is a little insert which if you pull it out it enables you to sharpen an even bigger pencil.
I found this sharpener to sharpen to a nice point and it doesn't break the lead.
It comes with a cover to collect the shavings so there is no mess. I have recommended this to many people and have heard great feedback about it.
Tips: Keep clean to ensure a good sharpen.
