| Makeup Tips, Please Reeeead
Ok, so I think we have ALL had that annoying eyebrow pencil that keeps loosing its bloody led, right?
Every darn time I sharpen it, the chuffing led drops out. Now I know some of you will probably say "Uh HELLO, buy a new one", but at £10 a time, I dont think I really fancy doing that; and sometimes its the same with eyeliner and lipline.
Have any of you girls got any tips on how to make it STAY TOGETHER?
Theres nothing more annoying than pencilling your eyebrows and the darn led thingy drops off almost falling into your eye.  |

| I sharpened it again earlier and it took 5 minutes to find the bloody led. Oooer.
What a pile of crap, it just shows that decent makeup isnt all that bloody decent afterall. heehee. |

| keep it in the fridge...but don't keep one that you'll use on your eyes in the fridge! Makes it harder obviously and easier to sharpen |

| they tend to snap inside if u drop them, so try not to carry pencils around in hand bag etc or buy the stylus type pencil as they are softer so dont snap. | | | | Status: Offline

| Do you know what I have never once had the lead in my eye liner pencils break. Perhaps you should buy a better one and the tip should be pretty blunt, like Layla said you may be over sharpening it. The lead in a good eyeliner should be pretty soft not brittle. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I used to spend about £2.99 on mine and never had a prob with them breaking or anything. I think sometimes the cheaper stuff is better than the expensive stuff!! |
