Love it
I have the original design, not this one, but the sharpener itself is very nice. The sizes are perfect for your normal eyeliners / lipliners, and your chunky liners / lip pencils. It's easy to clean and I haven't broken a single tip yet. The new design even includes a pick to get out any product stuck in the blade, but I haven't needed to use it yet -- never a mess or mistake with this.
Worth picking up if you don't have one you love.

Kind of overpriced but it works!
I bought this on a whim after reading some positive reviews stating that it's "way sharper" than the average sharpener. TBH, I have only used one other sharpener besides this one and it was really cheap like $3 and it did just as good of a job. I think that with time, pencil sharpener blades will dull out just like any kind of knife or blade, so maybe $10 for this is kind of ridiculous considering you'll end up buying another one after a year or two...but since this is my first UD sharpener, I am not entirely sure about the longevity of it. If it lasts for many years, it will be worth the price. The plastic parts seem cheap though. Interesting that it's Made in Germany...!

Best sharpener!
I actually have two of these, because after getting the super-saturated lip pencil, i wanted to have one just for that so my black eyeliner doesnt get on it. But i love this sharpener so much, it doesn't get dull and ruin the product being sharpened like most sharpeners I've had in the past. The first one I've been having for about 5 years now and still works great! And the design of this is so cute too! :)

Hmmm...
Not sure how to rate this sharpener, because I think this product is fine, I just have trouble with the 24/7 pencils. I LOVE the payoff and colors available, but I don't feel like they sharpen particularly well. It can be frustrating, especially since I purchased the Grindhouse after I was told it was the best for the softer 24/7 formulas. Maybe with more practice it will improve, but certainly not user friendly right off the bat.

good sharpener but not worth price
Urban's pencil sharpener is a good sharpener. It evenly sharpens all pencils and has a double sharpener for different sized pencils. However, I feel it is much more pricey than other sharpeners that are equal in quality. Plus, the lid is very loose and when I sharpen something quickly, the lid falls off and spills the sharpenings all over. I would go with a cheaper sharpener.

Easy to use
Though it's doubtless possible to get some 75ยข pencil sharpener in the nearest craft store, I've gotten my money's worth out of this one and more. It has yet to eat an eyeliner pencil [which I've had happen before with cheaper sharpeners] or catch and break itself. The little catch lid is ideal for sharpening over the sink in front of the mirror and then emptying in the trash once you're done doing your makeup and it does a nice smooth job of sharpening with almost no jagged edges.

I gotta admit....
It works! At first I thought oh this is just another push product and the sharpener I already use would work juuuuuust fine. WRONG, to a certain extent. I got tired of having to "make do" by putting my pencil in the fridge/freezer before I sharpened it because the lead is so soft. I actually ordered the 2 double-ended liners that came with the sharpener. It really does make a difference in how the 24/7 pencils sharpen and how much product you don't waste with this.

Works well.
I don't know what makes this different from other eye liner pencil sharpeners, but this one works really well. I have another sharpener from a large retail store... and it constantly breaks the pencil lead. I thought it may have just been too soft, but UD's Grindhouse works great. No breakage, and comes with a little plastic pick to poke out the shavings. I wouldn't get this at full price, so wait for a sale!
