Episode 13A - TEMU Unboxing! This Time I Try The Kalour 180 3.8mm Core Colored Pencils Packaging

This is an adult, 18+ coloring channel where I am sharing my coloring journey.
I was so nervous to open this package! I was so disappointed in the packaging on the Brutfuner 180 black barrel pencils. But, I really wanted a large black core pencil set so badly and the price was right.
Ooo, I forgot to tell you guys the price! It was $33 but, I made sure I bought the minimum of $49 to get coupons and I ended up with a second order of some clothing and other art supplies to use a $15 off. I think it average about 10% off, so around $30.
Be sure to share my new channel, and leave comments, I love to see what's going on in your colorful life and what you think of these videos!

Thank you for sharing your Temu shopping experiences and the tip of waiting for what is in your cart to go on sale! Overall I have had pretty good experiences with art supplies. ~Tracy

That is like my 200 case I bought on Amazon. Some things on TEMU are not the real brands and they are stealing identities. I have those colored pencils and will be glad when they are gone. Too much like crayons and they break easy. TFS

[@color-me-this]

I too have seen a lot of "stolen" designs on Temu and stay away from those items. It is too bad that policing copyrights worldwide is so difficult, I see it on all the online shopping venues. As far as the Kalour 180s I am just now beginning to create walkthrough content for them and I too think they feel very crayon-like. I am light handed so haven't encountered the breakage, yet. So far the closest pencils to these for me have been Aartx (I haven't touched Prismas since I first bought them long ago). I thank you so much for your comments and your insight into the Kalours is much appreciated!

[@scrum23]

I want to order these but I am confused are they watercolor pencils or just regular colored pencils? I want watercolor pencils in a quantity like this ....

[@color-me-this]

Alas, these are not watercolor pencils. You won't find large sets in watercolor because of the natural variation of color once activated with water. If you do find a large set let me know! Thanks so much for asking!

I’ve recently learned that the Kalour and Brutfuner are made in the same factory; the same pencils but with a different brandname. This box looks also a lot of the Arteza-box? A while ago a saw a Prismacolor set on Temu. Prismacolor is known by its breakage amongst other things. If I order it on temu I’m a afraid the set will be damaged by transport and these pencils aren’t that firm to begin with… What is your experience about the damage on products by Temu?

[@color-me-this]

of the three sets of pencils only the one that was not packaged properly from the manufacturer came damaged. Every other item has made the trip just fine. However, from what I have read, any Prismacolors from China will not be authentic as they are made in Mexico exclusively. Brutfuner and Kalour are made in China and have been purchased by enough folks who have verified that they are indeed the real thing, not a knock off. YMMV. Good Luck!

@@color-me-this oh gosh…I thought Temu was American and AliExpress Chinese🫣🤦‍♀️, but what you say makes more sense😅

I have a new update to your question. Fellow KZbinr - ArtJourney just posted an unboxing of a 150 set of Prismas she bought from Temu. This review discusses the packaging and then explores whether these are fakes or the real thing. She has since commented that she has received a response from Prismacolor and will post a followup from her discussion with them. Here is her first unboxing video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKOUg6yKpdGdqaM.

I'm looking forward to the video where you swatch these. Would love to see the color selection and how they perform in different books. Thank you in advance.

I have a detailed review video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inbaepKIppl6Z9E and a video coloring with them in Small Victories (Johanna Basford): kzbin.info/www/bejne/faWuha2YjdWfjqs

@@color-me-this Thank you very much.

The 250 pencil case has 5 zippers, the 200 has 4 zippers and that one I guess is the 120 pencils case as it got 3 zippers.

Great tip! Thanks for commenting. ~Tracy
