Magicfly 72-Piece Professional Watercolor Colored Pencil Set

Ellie: Nice for blending. Takes some time to figure out a technique that will work for what you want to do with them/your style. Wish they were a bit smoother/more pigmented, but overall they are good and worth it as far as value for money.

Deb S.: My first experience with Watercolor Pencils involved a supposedly 'high-end' set of 15 purchased at Michael's for approximately the same price as this set of 72 (there's a sucker born every minute), when I first became obsessed with this particular hobby. I was SO disappointed, as they were completely useless in regard to the purpose for which they were intended, and I haven't touched them since. :(

I decided to take a chance on these, and I'm so glad I did. I passed them up during Prime Days, but Amazon gave me a second chance to acquire them at a comparable price, so I snagged them without a second thought (sometimes I think Amazon knows exactly what I need even if I don't). I purchased these for the sole purpose of creating face-ups on resin BJDs, and the ease of application (they glide on so smoothly) plus adhesion to the resin without any primer beforehand, buffing the surface of the resin, nor having to build layer upon layer to get the color saturation I want has made me a total Magicfly fan. :)

While doing swatches, I just didn't see the color duplication that others have reported seeing; maybe there's something to be said for 60 year-old eyesight (but make...

JLJL: Wow! I bought this during Prime day for only 13$. I am a art student and use lots of high-quality brands such as Prismacolor, Winser and Newton colored pencils and watercolor pencils. I decided to take a plunge and say "why not?" on these pencils since the price was so low. It wouldn't hurt.
When this came the package was fine. The box it comes with is pretty long, but I wasnt really bothered with that since it can easily showcase all the colors. All the pencils came in great condition, none had broken lead in it like some other reviews had said. Most of the cons I have are not huge problems but things I would like to point out. Also, in the picture with all the swatch names its just the labeling I gave them for this review/personal usage.
CONS:
-My main issue is the colors that are included in this set. There are really only two pure reds, 10a and 11a, and 10a is really more of a salmon or coral color. There is also only one vibrant orange, 13a. All the other "oranges" are just a variation of peach or tan. And here's the problem; I REALLY want more oranges and I wouldn't have any problem with a lack of oranges IF there were more reds. If there were more reds then I could...

Briana MarieBriana Marie: A few Christmases back, family had gotten me some smaller sets of watercolor pencils, and after using them a while I really wanted more; a bigger collection to use for more doodles, drawings and sketches. Before purchasing these I scanned the reviews hard, and I took about a week or two to decide if $16 was worth it for 72 pencils, especially with the balance of reviews being kind of iffy as to whether they're good or not. Well I took the leap and decided heck, why not. Immediately upon their arrival I opened the packaging.

First of all, the tin was way better than what I was expecting, it's even hinged so I don't have to muscle a lid entirely off, then set it somewhere else where I'll probably end up bending it. Second thing I notice, these pencils look bright, seem longer than some colored pencils and look quite well made. I pulled the top tray out and notice that two pencils on the bottom tray have the tips of their lead broken off. I sharpen them to see if the whole pencil is now brittle, to find out they're in great condition still and with watercolor pencils, the broken pieces of lead don't go to waste; I'll use them to paint with. I figure those tips were broken...
