NARS lipstick pencil

The color and texture seems awesome. I picked up my birthday gift today and I was impressed!

However how the heck am I going to sharpen these things ? Anyone have any experience with sharpening the lipsticks?

When you sharpen a lipstick or eyeliner in fact, any tips on how to save and use the product that gets lost in sharpening (broken tips, sharpened shaves etc?)

Re: NARS lipstick pencil

First off, try to use a good quality sharpener. Secondly, try sticking your pencils (eye or lip) into the freezer for around half an hour so they harden, and then sharpen them. This makes it easier to sharpen them, and you lose the least amount of product.
