Customers are pleased with the color of the product. They mention that it's long-lasting, vibrantly colored, easy to disperse with water, and looks richer than watercolors. They are pleased the amount of pigment and the richness of the colors, and that the bronze color is particularly pretty. They find it to be fun for loose abstract color blocking, and perfect for backgrounds and larger areas.

I love my other Caran D'ache supplies but have never tried pastels. I do love watercolor pencils, so I wanted to try them. They are so much fun!They are like the smoothest crayon you can imagine. They are so silky smooth that it feels like they could draw on your skin (but they don't).My favorite way to use them is with this palette, also by Caran D'ache. One side is textured so you can color on it with the pastels and use a water brush to paint with them. (You can use it with your wc pencils also).They dissolve well in water. They are slightly more opaquethan wc pencils, but still mostly translucent. Using the palette allows you to get every single bit of use out of them since you don't have to sharpen. They blend well. The tactile experience is really good! A tiny bit goes a long way also.I'm only using them for coloring books at the moment, and they are brilliant!I was able to get a "used, like new" set from the warehouse. The box was a bit dented and a few colors had been tested but nothing beyond that (they met my expectations perfectly). The advantage of getting a warehouse set, besides price, was that they were already here in The States, so it was very fast shipping. I am extremely happy with my purchase.(I'm not sure why folks struggled to find the second tray of colors and thought they were cheated with the wrong package. But I guess that is a thing so be sure to pull up the top tray to find the one below it )

Reviewed in Canada on December 21, 2023
These pastels are luxuriously creamy, have no dust, no strong odors and are wonderfully pigmented. Im glad I got the 30 set, because the colour selection is fantastic. My only nitpick is that they lift after 3 or 4 layers, but thats really small in the grand scheme. I was also surprised that I could get fine lines with them for fur texturing, I figured with how creamy they felt that thin lines would be impossible, but nope, nice fine lines. I previously tried the mungyo aquarelle, and these are vastly better, as well as being completely non toxic. If you're looking for water soluble pastels, treat yourself and get these, you won't be sorry
