Review on 2001720 LYRA Rembrandt Polycolor Art πŸ–οΈ Pencils - Set of 72 Assorted Colors by Julia Lewis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Scratchy crayons

First of all, I can't believe the price is too high. Second, all of the purples in my set of 72 are prickly. I have color proof that it is absolutely awful. I tried to fix it with Prisma Premier but couldn't. I wouldn't spend a dollar on Lyra's crayons. I'm not saying such a thing, but amateurs and colorists are seriously looking elsewhere. If the company offers a good return policy, you can always buy with peace of mind, but that's not the case. I bought these pens some time ago and the price at the time was fair. Not all crayons are spiky, so 2 stars, but others are and it's really awful. Marco brand colored pencils are also oil based and much better than these and much cheaper. They also have higher quality colored pencils like this one. I love crayons and try new brands but they are just awful, I can't stress this enough. I would like to try Johanna's Staedtler colored pencils, but they are overpriced for a set of 36.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • are embarrassing
