Review on Liquitex Professional Essential Multiple 3699314 by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Beware! This is made by ships from the UK!

Bought this as a small bust for my birthday and have been waiting a long time to get it from the UK. When it arrived the Revain box was intact but the product box was saturated with acrylic ink. The only reason the outer carton wasn't soaked well was because the product was shrink wrapped. Just a small leak in the shipping box. Contents: 6 unlined glass vials of acrylic ink in a thin box shrink wrapped. The UK Revain box contained a sheet of wrapping paper for an overseas trip! I wanted to return the item but my postal center estimated the refund at $50! Definitely not worth going back. So I finally opened the box to see if anything could be salvaged from it. Pooh! What a mess! It was filled with sticky ink and broken glass. 2 bottles were completely broken (black and gold). One had a cracked lid and was half full as it wouldn't close (copper?). The three bottles appear intact and are painted in different colors (appear to be white, silver and bronze). I've rubbed and rinsed them as best I can and will see if their seals are intact. It was an expensive and frustrating experience!
