Stop looking, you have just found the sharpest tool in the shed!
Annabelle Cosmetics proudly introduces the very first to mass market self-sharpening eyeliners and lipliners with the NEW Stay Sharp Waterproof Kohl Eyeliners and Lipliner. Annabelle’s truly innovative concept will keep beautistas on point and sharpeners away. -annabelle.ca

Annabelle has always been know for being the best in Canada for their liners. Heck I think it is the right of passage of all girls in Canada to buy at least on lip and/or eye liner from them when they first start wearing makeup. 

Innovation strikes big with their newest addition...Stay Sharp Self Sharping waterproof liners. Yes, self sharpening! So you'll never be stuck wondering where your sharpener is again and always be left with a clean line.
Pretty much these babies caps have a sharpener built in, so when you close it and twist it you get a fresh sharp liner to work with....genius!
Top to bottom: Glam Red, Java, Go Black and Cappuccino.
Left to right: Java, Glam Red, Go Black and Cappuccino.
So how do they perform? I love them. They hold up pretty darn well on the waterproof side. I can wear an eyeliner to work and have it still be there at the end of the day, which is saying a lot. The lipliners go on creamy but not too creamy and set up pretty nice so they don't budge as they day goes on. 

The actual sharpening feature works great, always a sharp tip. But sadly there isn't much of a tip, it is a tiny thing to work with. I am used to retractible liners where I can make them quite long, but then they often break and get dull, so I see why a shorter tip is best (plus it cuts down on waist when you sharpen).

Pros:
Never need a sharpener again!
Makes a great to go liner because it is sharp all the time
6 shades for lips and 6 shades for eyes
Actually pretty darn waterproof 
No mess! There are no shavings to deal with

Cons:
Has a shorter tip than I am used to, took a while to get used to

Overall:
I love Annabelle, and I love these liners. I recently lost my Flame liner from their traditional lip liner collection, which is my absolute favourite red liner (Mac Russian Red and it are best friends) and Glam Red made an excellent substitution and actually wore much longer.

The eyeliners hold up to my insane day to day life of water and soap being splashed at my face and my constant eye rubbing and dry eye, all very impressive feats.

The tip may have taken a bit of getting used to, but that was just me and my habits. I am able to draw such precision lines with the tip and never worry about sharpening it. Click Click and it is sharp and ready to go again and no shavings. Oh my, no shavings! All my life pencil shavings have gotten flown around my house, into floors and carpets. Oh the mess, the mess. No more with these babies. Which alone is a reason to love them.

Ok, so there you have it, I love these babies. What do you think? Have you tried out Annabelle's Stay Sharp Self Sharpening Waterproof Liners yet?
