Review on Conté à Paris 2 Count Sketching Crayons, Bistre - Professional Grade Art Supplies for Fine Sketching and Shading by Lori Aguirre

In this pack of two crayons, one of the crayons was broken off in at least two places (I haven't checked exactly how many there are yet) and the other was crushed in the powder. outside of use for my course requirements. See photo: one before I open the packaging (damage to the pencil is visible through the plastic, especially on the right), another photo after I carefully peeled back the corner (splinter and dust are clearly visible). I have not used the product yet. and so I can't rate the quality but I'm disappointed that 50% of the purchase has already been wasted. I would return the item but I need a less broken crayon to do the class assignment that needs to be done. No stores near me stock this product so I bought from Revain. I don't plan to buy back.
