    5 Stars
    Perfect!
    The pictures above are of the pencils a few days after using them. I have owned a set of 36 prismacolors before, and when I was able to buy these pencils, I did!The 36 prismacolors are good, so I had high expectations for this set. I am happy to say that this set reached my expectations! I swatched all of them, and I tried drawing a portrait with the pencils. I found out that drawing portraits with these pencils were easy and fun to do, because these pencils were sooooo soft and creamy! I was a bit nervous about the box getting damaged when it arrived, but it wasn't damaged at all! I definitely recommend getting these pencils, even if they are a bit expensive.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice but Maybe a Tad Overrated
    Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2024
    Prismacolor pencils remind me of name brand products (shoes, sneakers, purses, etc). People buy the product because it is a branded name. I own a hodge-podge of prismas, including a Vintage set that I will probably never use again (from High School). I purchased this newest set of Prismas because I wanted an entire set, not a hodge-podge assortment of pencils accumulated over time. For the most part, they are lovely. 98% of the time when I colored the pencils lay down smooth, and blending was not an issue. The pencils retained their sharpness and a fine point after sharpening, and I didn't have the issue of the pencil leads falling out. However, on a few of my pictures, some of the colors did not lay quite so smooth - the pencils lay down with a waxy feel, and I had a few issues trying to blend the colors. Overall they are still nice. I would recommend these for teen or adult use, not for younger children, as I think they are too expensive for those oh so wonderful pictures that end up gracing the refrigerator doors (unless you want to indulge the little ones). There wasn't a lot I disliked about them. They sharpened well, law down smooth overall and I ended up with some nice coloring pages. But again Prismas remind me of any name brand product (purses, shoes). They are a brand that gets a lot of buzz since most colored pencil reviews for other brands inevitably have the question of "are these brand of pencils like prismas?" Would I buy them again? Yes, probably in a few months when my current pencils stash starts being used up. But like most name brands, I think they are still nice, but a little overrated. Try for yourself and be the judge.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bellissime ma delicate
    Reviewed in Italy on January 3, 2021
    Le ho acquistate nel 2019 e sono diventate le mie matite preferite 🤩. Mi piace moltissimo la loro cremosità e come si miscelano fra loro creando sfumature bellissime. I colori sono carichi e vibranti, così che i disegni alla fine sembrano “bucare” il foglio. Direi che anche la tenuta del colore nel tempo sembra buona.
    Va segnalata però la fragilità della mina: trattatele bene, se vi cadono vi potete trovare la mina rotta e perdere così centimetri di matita quando andate a fare la punta!!
    Altro limite grande è che non si trovano singole sfuse, quando finiranno i colori che uso di più toccherà sostituirli con altre marche oppure prendere un’altro set. Detto ciò, la qualità è così alta che nonostante questi limiti do lo stesso 5 stelle.
