Review+Swatching - Smashbox Always Sharp Waterproof Kôhl Liner

Pencil-sharpeners

How many makeup pencil sharpeners do you own? I knew I owned quite a few but not 12! That’s way too many but then again, pencils come is so many different sizes these days.

A new one you won’t have to worry about trying to find a sharpener for is SMASHBOX’s new Always Sharp Waterproof Kôhl Liner. ($20 @ smashbox.com and nordstrom.com). Always sharp? How is that possible? Click after the jump to see!

The sharpener for these Always Sharp Liners is built-in the cap! Genius! So everytime you twist the cap off, it sharpens the tip of the pencil. Love that.

And the pencil quality is pretty great. Very pigmented and applies smoothly.

My only question left is this – after you sharpen a few times, how do you clean out the end of the cap with the shavings from the pencil color? There’s no way to open it up or really see clearly inside. I guess I’ll just have to use a safety pin to clean it out. Hmmmm…

Here is a great video that shows more about the cap:
