Manicare Dual Cosmetic Pencil Sharpener Review

Cheap and dependable, I love using this sharpener.

There is nothing worse than gently sharpening your favourite eye liner only to have a chunk disappear inside a blunt sharpener. There are cheaper tools out there - e.g. sharpeners from the $2 Shop, but this is worth the investment.

I have quite a few tools from Manicure and I've found them to be very good. This is no exception, as it's a great quality sharpener from Manicure.

I've had this for so many years and it's still as good as the day I got it! It's very durable and easy to use. Great to just pop in your cosmetic bag.

It's perfect for sharpening your eye liner. It's always done a good job of this and is affordable - you can buy this from most supermarkets or pharmacies.

I would definitely recommend this tool, as it's been great quality and it's my go-to sharpener.

This dual sharpener has come in handy when travelling. I like that I only need the one sharpener to cover my eye, lips and other facial pencils. The blades still seem sharp after a lot of use and can be easily cleaned with a tooth pick or similar to remove any excess product. The lid is clear so you can see when you need to empty the shavings. My pencils ends are sharp too without having to over sharpen to get a nice pointy end.

Not sure how to review a sharpener other than saying it’s good, sharpens pencils and stuff. Pretty useful to have two sides for different size pencils of course. I’ve had mine for years and years and it’s still going strong. Take off the clear plastic lid when your sharpener is full to get rid of the shavings that’s been collected. Neat and nifty.

This is a staple in my makeup bag. There's not too much to differentiate it from other sharpeners however I do find the plastic covering very handy, there's nothing worse than loose bits of sharpening going everywhere and ending up with black smears all over everything. It sharpens well, what more can I say!

I got this Sharpener in the Incredible Eyes box recently. The first thing I tried in this box is this pencil Sharpener. Out of all my beauty purchases a sharpener is normally the last thing I would remember to purchase. So when I saw it in this box I was excited to try this one.

This sharpener is made out of plastic. It has two holes one for small pencils and one for jumbo pencils. The labelling on this is on the top with manicare branding imprinted on this see through window.

I sharpened all my eye liners and lip pencils effortlessly with this. Even my difficult to sharpen pencils like Colourpop glided through it. I was surprised. I can finally sharpen my jumbo lip pencils now.

I thought this sharpener was a good addition to the beauty box. It's priced fairly for a make up tool. All my pencils are sharp now. I would buy this again because I have been needing a sharpener for jumbo pencils as well as small.

This is a very non-exciting product but it is certainly an essential item to have. It's like having toilet paper you need it but it's not a want! I love it because I have several jumbo pencils and of course use a lot of normal size liners so having both size holes in one is awesome. It totally lives up to what its intended purpose is and is a really good price.

I rated this product as average as i believe that although it is and was very needed and handy and still works well, the workmanship could be improved. It sharpens well and i have had no issues with even the softest pencils going through and coming out just fine and well sharpened, My only gripe is the fact that the chamber that collects all the clippings after a while becomes loose and there isnt much that can be done to it except make sure you store it well enough where you dont lose the top. I would recommend this product for its use but feel that there may be a better product out there that are a bit more stronger. Sleek Colour, Great blades and a very affordable buy this is. Its a good investment and i guess if you buy a new one once a year it pretty much earns its price.

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.
