Pros & Cons
Pros
Recommended for those with a little experience and other sets. I am satisfied with the outcome.
Soft pastels are incredible smooth to draw with. The colour selection is good, although some darker brown and black would have been good to have. The pastel sticks are very strong, allowing you to use heavy pressure blending techniques.
Ii am very pleased and would recommend to others. You won't be dissapointed. Very impressed and would definitely buy again.
Makes a great blender and perfect for impasto. They are rather more oily than some i've tried, but they mix well and handle nicely. They blend so easily!
They're not lipstick-greasy like the senneliers, just soft and painterly. They are creamy, some a little dry but mixed with the white. Wonderfully soft and creamy.

I would have liked to see a rich dark brown most of the browns are a bit muddy and some seem very close in colour

For example the silver didnt blend well at all as well as one blue colour but since the others blended well i could recreate those colours with other pastels
