Avon Products Complaint - Big Color Eye Color Pencil

Complaint
Review by caleggs on 2009-03-15
TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA -- I purchased an AVON BIG COLOR eye color pencil a few weeks ago and the sharpener I already had does not accommodate it. This last campaign AVON had the pencils & sharpener on sale so I ordered 2 more pencils plus the sharpener thinking they must have come out w/ a new sharpener that accommodates the BIG COLOR pencil. The problem is, this is the same sharpener I already have and the the BIG COLOR eye pencil is too BIG for it. Why would AVON sell a pencil & sharpener that don't accommodate each other?

Now I have 3 BIG COLOR eye pencils that I can't sharpen. Anyone else come across this problem?

I don't use Avon, but I've had the same problem with some eye pencils. The solution I found was a "jumbo" pencil sharpener for regular pencils. I bought in the school supplies section of a drugstore for a couple of dollars and it worked like a charm. It might work...

financiallyfit---best answer! I do the exact same thing. Less expensive and works like a charm.

If you have the 3 in 1 sharpener, there is an incert in it that you can take out to make it bigger. I think it's the medium size that you take out, under it is the large size and it fits well.
