I wore full make up every day for work and I socialised A LOT so it never ended! Whereas before I wouldn't even go to the dustbin at the end of the drive without at least mascara, now I shop and walk bare-faced - blantantly. And people still recognise me - I always thought no one would without my "public face" on! And hey, I've even posted without makeup! Once, some weeks ago.<br />I hope you have fun with make up now that you have the free time. The chubby sharpeners are easy to find, Laurie uses the Avon sharpener. thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-11372534469025882552017-03-06T09:20:10.820+00:002017-03-06T09:20:10.820+00:00Oh heck, they do lips too?

In the meantime, I found some Rimmel retractable crayons this week, Magnify or something like that, so I'm giving them a try.

As for cleaning said sharpener, I wash mine then use surgical spirit. When pencils have been used a couple of times it's one wisk round in the sharpener to remove old that's been used. (hygiene standard taught at college) Hope this helps x<br />www.vanityandmestyle.comVanity And Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724087064353830994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-43488697473689677192017-03-02T22:11:42.876+00:002017-03-02T22:11:42.876+00:00Hi Alison and welcome.

I am a scrupulous brush and hand washer but after that I use eye shadow purchased a while ago, other stuff I use more regularly. I do have a sharpener and if anyone comes up with a good way of cleaning those I would be interested. Like you I spent yesterday cleaning out cupboards and throwing away old stuff but not of the makeup variety! I am trying to get ahead on the spring cleaning.christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639082573723964447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-8934839356397231932017-03-01T22:11:59.821+00:002017-03-01T22:11:59.821+00:00Hi Stephanie, I am a bit of a handwasher too.

My eye crayon is Laura Gellar and self sharpening. As you know I recently blogged on that topic. Sharpeners! I don't know really. Is it bacteria that you're worried about and if so can they survive on the sharpener or do they die without organic food. Is the scrapings of pencil organic? More questions dear Pout.
