Bundle of 4 Artist Quality Sanguine Sketching Crayons by Conté in Paris Review

They are very different from the last ones I bought. I doubt this factory in Mexico uses a different formula or what. too much wax Had to buy locally

These are not the high quality Conte colored pencils I used to buy. The colored pencils I received were made of impure clay and sand. Tiny particles of sand were mixed and scratched and gripped. Small but annoying. defective product. I'm going back to Faber Castel. They're harder to find, but they're pristine and smooth.

The crayons are great but all 4 were broken into 2-3 pieces. I ordered them for art class and the assignment is due on the 16th so I don't have time to return them, replace them and finish the assignment. I'm stuck with leftover painting tools because the products arrived damaged.
