Pros & Cons
Pros
This is a beautiful palette of colors, multiple shades of color families. The colors are very vibrant and they go on smoothly. It makes the coloring look so much better than just the stark-white background.
These are the best for color range. Excellent colors, very bright. Gorgeous colors. A lovely set with a great color range.
Faber castell proucts are great for beginners or expert artists. These pastels range from soft to more of a medium firmness, depending on color. These are a little bit addictive.
These are fine, but unfortunately the packaging isn't great. It is the mini so the pastels blocks are on the small side but if your project doesn't need a lot of the product, for example creating clay miniatures, then it is perfect.
Much of my experience is with charcoal and graphite. They smear my fingers a little but so does charcoal. I tend to scrape tiny amounts with a knife and spread them on the paper.
Cons
The box was dented. The pastels need to be secured much better and the packaging more sturdy. Arriving in a padded envelope was not enough to stop the breakage.

Quality
Teacher was happy with the quality too and she works a lot in pastels
All the colors are vibrant and these pastels don’t break as easily
The first day i was using them the box slipped out and the pastels fell all over the floor
I simply dusted off a thin layer from the sticks and the original pigment color can be used after that

The outside cover was even looking as though it had had a rougher travel

Ive not tried all the applications yet mainly using my fingers to blend or a cotton ball to apply a light shade
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The pastels are fairly small id say about two inches which is nice enough if youll be using a brush but it may be a problem if directly using the pastel
