• Ok, I really need to reinforce this because according to some of our reviews, not everyone understands WHY I designed a formula that requires a sharpener. THIS IS WHY: Our formula is so creamy and sophisticated; it is not possible to offer it in a wind-up package. It would break each and every time - otherwise I would have! but to get the best and most out of the formula, and the quickest, easiest, most excellent result – you need to sharpen your eye pencil every few applications with our ergonomic eye pencil sharpener. I designed this sharpener specifically for our Velvet Eye L'uxe Pencils only, I cannot guarantee it’s right for any other pencil. Use it with our pencil and I promise it won't grind, eat, or break the tips of your pencil, extending the life of each one. The double German blade neatly carves out the perfect dome shape for a comfortable, quick and easy application – creating the perfect 3-minute smoky eye a snap! It also comes with a detachable sharpener cleaning tool that clicks into place on the top of the sharpener, so you can easily reach the shavings to clear them and keep your sharpener completely clean and hygienic. Enjoy! This is an awesome product! – and it’s essential.
