Benefit Dual Sharpener

Benefit dual sharpener is a sharpener for your make-up pencils. It is dual so can sharpen both fat pencils and the normal sized ones. I needed one as I have Benefit's Bad Gal eyeliner and also Benefit's Eye Bright pencil, which could not fit in an ordinary sharpener. I searched around everywhere one day looking for one and couldn't find a cheap one in Boots or Superdrug, I thought that they would have their own branded ones.

In the end I bought this Benefit one from Debenhams online as I received a Debenhams gift card for my birthday and was buying things from their website anyway, and had a few pounds left on the card to use up. It was priced at £4, which is quite expensive for a sharpener, hence why I searched shops before purchasing it to look for cheaper ones.

The sharpener is black with 'Benefit' wrote on it in white.

I have had the sharpener for nearly a year now and it still works perfectly fine, and I use it a lot as I do use eyeliner pencils nearly everyday, so I am always sharpening them. The fat Benefit pencils I own fit in and sharpen perfectly, as you would expect considering it's the same brand! The pencils do not get stuck in the sharpener and the ends don't keep snapping off when you sharpen them, meaning you would have to resharpen them and then end up wasting a lot of your eyeliner.

The Benefit dual sharpener is available from all Benefit counters which can be found in Debenhams, Boots and House of Fraser. It can also be purchased online directly from the listed shops' websites, or directly from the Benefit website itself. I have found these can be a little cheaper if bought from eBay or Amazon though. I have since seen Superdrugs' own branded dual sharpener for only a couple of pounds and so if I still needed one I would opt for the cheaper one, I only purchased this one for £4 as I couldn't find any dual sharpeners at the time when I really needed one.
