Review on 🎨 48-Pack KOH-I-NOOR TOISON D'OR 8516 Soft Pastels in Cardboard Packaging for Artists by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great value for money in fairly solid pastel colors

These pastel colors offer excellent value for money. This is a "hard" soft pastel, not much softer than nu pastel. To me, they have about the same staying power as Blick's own brand. The pastel set of 48 has a nice range of colours. The only downside is that the plastic sleeve that each pastel comes in had to be cut off with a knife - you just can't peel it off with your fingers. I think even professional artists would be happy with this set. I have a couple of Unison sticks and they are impressive (almost "oily") but expensive.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
