Daft lip crayon question. Help please!

11 replies

Hi all
I had the attached lip crayon in a beauty box or calendar and can’t recall the brand - meaning that I can’t do a generic Google search for help.

In short, HOW ON EARTH do I get the next part of the crayon to come up/out once I’ve used the nib at the top?

I’ve twisted the end both ways and it doesn’t budge. I’ve checked the lid to see if there is a special tool in there. Surely I shouldn’t use a sharpener as it’s made of a plastic material.

Help me solve this!!

That's odd! Does the coloured bit at bottom come off. It looks like it should twist, try it with a dish towel wrapped round hand, maybe just stiff or does it push up?

I have this...
the coloured tip twists unless it's come off the thread..
It's amazing..
so long lasting and vibrant..

@brownbeauty80 can you tell me the brand please. Would love to but it again.
although as @NurseCranesRolodex identified there does seem to be an issue

Rodial?

countdowntonap · 08/05/2023 22:10

@Summerhillsquare hmm
I don’t think it is Rodial. Might have racked it down to being Nars…and the
webdite says you have to use their sharpener 🤔

I recognise it but can't think of the name! Will come back if I can identify.

Looks like Nars. Not sure about how to sharpen it though!

Oops sorry I missed your update. That's v cheeky of them.

I think I had something a bit similar, but not that particular one. At this stage, is it worth trying a normal cosmetic sharpener? It worked for mine. I suppose it depends if you are going to repeat purchase it, in which case it may be worth having the sharpener, depending on whether it's a very spicy price or not.
