Just got this product for my daughter and she was delighted until she couldn't figure out how to sharpen it...after trying to turn it. After all, it's plastic. I tried sharpening it and was very...

I liked it for the first week, it did a great job of defining my brows and the staying power was very good. When I tried to twist up the product, I was very frustrated and confused. I came on MUA...

Although I agree with everyone regarding the sharpening, or lack thereof, I did contact Maybelline. They first suggested a better sharpener. When I explained that I was using another name brand...

edit 02/01/14: I'm bumping my review score for this product from a 4 to a 5 as Maybelline appears to be in the process of switching from the horrible plastic casing to a normal wood. I picked up a...

I love how it makes my eyebrows look, I love the brush..but I'm supposed to sharpen a plastic pencil? Seriously? It would be a perfect brow pencil if the packaging was better.

I don't understand the difficulty in sharpening this; it can be done with a regular eye/lip pencil sharpener. I used my Sally Beauty Supply sharpener, the silver round metal one made in Germany,...
