I’m so glad these pencils are finally getting some recognition. I love them and I hope they keep making them. They also go on sale all the time

[@SoCraftastic]

Ooo I've never seen this brand before! That's so many colors!! 😁 Brownish Red & Reddish Brown 😂 I mean, they're not wrong. Such cute doodles!! 💗

[@silkeschumann7261]

While I can imagine the sensation and the luscious indulgence of 180 different colored pencil, I have a really hard time to buy the 120 sets. 72 pencils are more than enough different shades of color to choose from. And yet somehow you made me crave for a set of 180 pencils, just unpack and look at them. This is what insanity feels like. Thank you. Thank god I don't have the budget this very minute. I already overspent on more sensible art supplies this Summer and I need to put a stop to spending for at least a year, which will be hard. Luckily, I usually don't get haunted be these images and my imagination gone wild. :)

[@ladyrazorsharp]

My mom got me a portable art set and it has these pencils. So glad to find where I can replace them! I really like using them, they’re nice to work with.

[@noradennis4361]

Yeah. I love to see you use them again. I'm always on the hunt for reasonably priced colored pencils. I think I'll give them a try. 🙂

[@aGirLnTX]

I loved this video, and I love your coffee. I enjoyed it while sipping on a cup of my own! And I'm glad you talked about being nervous while sketching on camera. I get nervous sketching when I'm alone, and I don't know why. But it made me feel better that you pushed on and did it. I'm going to work on that. And I counted 13 cups of deliciousness! Thanks, Mira! Watching one of your videos always brightens my day.

[@LadyGiffie]

11 ☕️ I got souclolor about a year ago and yes I love them. So glad you reviewed them.

[@erinkathleen8192]

why is there a phantom coffee cup (i think?) illustration in the unboxing 😂😂 excited for the video though--haven't found a good cheap pencil, so i hope this video changes that!😊 EDIT: ohhhhhh

[@melsgalleria]

I recently got the Shuttle Art Soft core pencils in the tins which was a 174 set, they pencils look very similar to those and they felt pretty nice. Also I will say I do like that paper too, I got it to try out with pastels, but I love it with pencils too.

[@zacharyulman7232]

I love how cute the latte turned out! The purple was def a great addition :)

[@alwaysag9248]

I love all the different vibes of ur videos it keeps me on my toes ily❤

[@blackrose538]

I'm always interested to see what artists have to say about affordable pencils. Not that I need any more pencils, I'm sure I have more than enough for my needs :) also... I counted 14 little *cups* or 16 with the two freebie ones. I'm sure I might have missed one or two 🤷‍♀

[@TheMountainWulf]

I love those pencils so much! I was one of the first to get them on amazon. I felt so special. lol For their price, they are just so good.

[@eeyore135]

I love these color pencils! Cute video. I counted 16 cute mugs.

[@liesbethartlife]

WoW that looks an amazing colored pencils set to add to my collection. It’s also a nice touch that they have the Disneyland Paris castle on the tin box from the 15th anniversary, as now they are celebrating the 30th 😊

[@mirandaperkins3244]

I have these and love them! I use a colorless blender to get rid of grainyness. 😀

[@kymdalton7277]

Whoa!! I just looked on Amazon in Australia and they are $132.40!! Quite the difference in price...that's crazy!

[@patriciasnijders3392]

holland 98 but from what i understand there are particuler sales people on there buy cheap sell for a lot so the really infect are scamers than i think cant find another word for that

[@JessicaCEP]

Ouch

[@harshtrehan]

Damn India’s one is 120 dollars with mojey exchanger

[@1984isnow]

Great review, i bought these at the same price and also was pleasantly surprised, they exceeded my expectations.

[@LeanneRaina]

I noticed the coffee cups but lost count of how many. All well! Mira, you win this week! ☕ Those colored pencils look so fun for someone just starting out in the world of colored pencils! The results were surprisingly good and the price is hard to beat. I think the set would be perfect for an art student for the holidays. Thank you so much for sharing this video and please enjoy all the fall vibes 🍂

[@mattiekitty]

So cute! ☕️ 💗. Seems like a great set for an artist starting out!

[@Liamliayaum906]

I wondered from the beginning why these random cups were on the screen...now I know. 🤣 I counted 16 ghoul cups.

[@Daisy_-dw2ms]

Lmao same

[@Littlewings1211]

Would you say that you prefer these or the Arteza coloured pencils? I love my Arteza ones. Mira, you should try using odourless mineral spirits to blend coloured pencils. I use mine on a dried up colourless blender marker. Just pour a tiny amount into one of those little screw top dressings/sauces containers so you can keep the lid on between dips (it evapourates) and use an old dish towel or washcloth to remove excess and clean the nib of the marker....no more paper towels that can't be recycled, just chuck the cloth in with the laundry when it needs a clean. Using a wet blending medium like this makes it easier to smooth out the colours, get into all the little white spots between the tooth of the paper, melts excess wax bloom and can restore some of the paper's tooth so you can get a few more layers out of your paper. If you put the lid on you barely use any so a bottle will last months if not longer.

[@recoveringsoul755]

I was wondering if these pencils were water soluble. Ever since I found out that some colored pencils can move with water, I have to test water on everything, have been surprised at some ink pens I have moving in water.

[@Littlewings1211]

@@recoveringsoul755 you can buy actual watercolour pencils fairly inexpensively if you want that movement with water they will definitely give you a better result. My own personal battle is usually to get stuff to NOT move with water 😂 Things like using fineliners for linework or different kinds of paint/inks etc, it's always when I want them to reactivate they become tattooed to the page/canvas but if I want them to stay put I end up with a muddy mess 🤣 The mineral spirits is more like rubbing/isopropyl alcohol than water, it almost melts the pigments down. They're even better with softer pencils like Prismacolors. I remember one of the first times I used it my page went from regular coloured pencil textures with spots of white to a paint like, full coverage, smooth layout of colours. It really is worth it's weight in gold!

[@recoveringsoul755]

@@Littlewings1211 Yeah, I was surprised at which things moved that I didn't expect to

[@FroggyRaeCreations]

I ordered these almost two months ago from Tea Scape and they haven't sent them. I can't wait to try them out!! Glad you liked them, I have heard mostly good reviews of these. I believe there were 16 little cups. Thanks for sharing your review!

[@lotusflowerpassion]

The Cup is so cute and the pencils look great I have not seen those before ,loved this video counted 13 cups that flashed on screen may have missed some though and then the one you drew. I love when Artist reveiw supplies as is nice to know how they work before purchasing them. Thanks dear .

[@1cynanne]

I would like you t see you use them again. I got this set and I forgot about them. Thanks for sharing

[@Artistic_Beans]

Started counting the cups straight away (but did a quick rewatching of the beginning of the video in case I missed some before that). I got to a total of 18 cups!

[@jordanleighwheatley]

I think I have this set but whitelabeled under a different name. I love them

[@creativelychandra]

I counted 11 cups. The doodle came out so cute. ❤

[@aprilrobinson5523]

Thank you soooo much for doing this review. Your artwork is amazing.

[@LMHCKeeks]

Literalllyyyyy me when I am trying to find a pencil 6:17 😂 and my prisma colored pencils (I will find them one day LOL) but it sounds like I’m gonna get this set! thank you!

[@annihull6373]

I love the cinnamon sticks! And I so appreciate the little cartoon stickers popping up on occasion. :-) they brighten my day.

[@rach5116]

Please test some amazon oil paints sometime! I'm not sure which ones to buy (not a professional just really enjoy oil painting!) :) thanks!

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

I just enjoy watching you... your way of expressing yourself and how whimsical you are! TYFS! Cozy 👋 from Massachusetts!

[@marymistretta5008]

I think I counted 19 stickers. Thank you for your review 💕

[@deniseramirez9706]

I love that cute chocolate cup 🥰. I'm sure the sticker is just adorable.☺

[@fuzzydragons]

its such a cute happy cup! 😀 i really like that paper and love how many colours it comes in but tend to use the smoother side

[@lydiataylor2343]

I love using color pencils. Been trying to learn more about using them to add glow effects. Do you have any advice to do that?

[@madisonh.9921]

yayyyyy! I feel like youre more back to your old self! probably no one will read this or care, but im a long time viewer and i feel like ive noticed a little bit of a slump for you. its totally understandable considering you just had your twins and your life is all changing now. but i feel like in this video you are more back to your old self. nothing to do with the subject of the video, its just the feel of the video. like even your voice has been different recently. a little bit more monotone and almost sad. maybe just tired. again, understandable!! but i feel like youre back to your old peppy self in this video. none of this was said to make you feel bad or self-conscious at all i still have watched and enjoyed every video. im just a major fan and wanted to share my observations. youre doing great.

[@recoveringsoul755]

Are they water soluble Mira? Seems like a lot of colored pencils do move in water to some degree. I have to test everything with water now even if it's not "supposed" to be water activated.

[@allisonluke850]

I love your drawing and think these colored pencils worked really well.

[@zoewilliams8038]

Those same set of pencils cost over 100 dollars for me on Amazon in Australia. Crazy price difference, think Amazon Australia might be price gouging. 🤔 15 cup things also.

[@Miss_Art_Lover7]

This is so adorable ❤ has fun watching ❤ I am doing. Fall art cute cats 🐱 ❤

[@artsynora5682]

Seeing this many colored pencils 😍😍 and yes please use them again in another video , maybe a sketchbook spread? ☺ and I counted 16 cup! Including the 2 cups when you mentioned the secret game! Have a wonderful day to you and your husband and babies 😊🌸

[@benmcgee2694]

i love watching people swatch colors don’t know about everyone else!

[@cazkiwinz4300]

Yep, I’m here for it too! Since I can’t draw ... but have to buy all these cute supplies anyways, it’s all I do with my art supplies as well... so they’re my fave videos too 😂😂😂

[@ParasolMushroomStudios]

the little coffee cups popping up all the time were cute XD

[@Taracinablue]

What a pleasant surprise--decent-quality super-affordable colored pencils! The first little mug that popped up, I was like, "What *is* that???" lol

[@alankohn6709]

I saw 5 cups. Could you also link your sharpener. I a related question I saw a colour pencil hack and wonder if you have ever tried it. You dip the pencils in Vaseline wipe off the excess and use it supposedly soften the lead and makes them clour and layer better and can make cheaper pencils work more like expensive ones. you do need to clean all the Vaseline off or it will rot the lead

[@maddieb_99]

i counted 17 little cartoon coffee drinks throughout the video :)

[@liesbethartlife]

Beautiful doodles, instant got a coffee you started talking about your cup

[@gilashroot8697]

I counted 15 coffee cups including the 2 freebees 🥰. I am a big fan of your hidden games and "word of the day". They make your content unique, and I love getting a gold star 🤩. I am super impressed with the pencils. I am more impressed with your illustrations. My single question would be how long do these pencils last. They seemed unevenly long, and they also seemed to be used up rather quickly, especially if you keep them so sharp. I love you and your videos. Thank you.

[@dragonknightsofantar1737]

I am actually enjoying them more than my Prisma colors. The dead point is you can't buy singles. I still use my prisma white for certain blends.

[@shannonsartgathering3321]

Wow! 6 layers of pencils! That’s awesome!

[@stephanieplata3743]

they selll those coloring paper pages in single sheets? ive never seen it like that. i have a blicks near me too. what section is it in?

[@ish_artpalette_]

I was wondering why the stickers were popping on the screen, there must be some game or something and then you said it's a secret game. I like these kind o games 💙🧡. I think there were 10 stickers.

[@aparnabiswas7668]

Which is better stealer or this?

[@deepowers3117]

What is the wax core size in mm, please?

[@sorry-I-write-long-comments]

what is that pencil sharpener?? looks so good! Do you have a link?? I have to pay 80 dollars with shipping.... do you think they would still be worth it?? and I would love to see you use this again, especially on another paper, maybe a lower quality paper...

[@AlexandriaJordan-z6g]

What is the sharpener you were using?

[@deanusuzetsute]

When i get new art supplies I don’t want to use them yet 😅

[@emilycarfi9043]

What is the creaminess compared to prismas?

[@artandmorewithrachelnicole]

Wow very cool 💗

[@salomegonzalez286]

Wonderful video! You are so inspiring!! I think I saw 16 coffees??🍵🍵🍵

[@kendravanwesemael6863]

How are you doing btw? Everything okay with the twins? Loved this chill artsession

[@afos32]

Your coffee cup drawing is so cute😍 Do the colored pencils have neons or florescents

[@deepowers3117]

Thank you for the link to these pencils, but I think they are much more expensive today. They are cerainly a feast for the eyes, and now I have finyally found out from you that they are wax based, not oil based. Good to know. Thank you.

[@nezukoismywaifu]

Was there at least 10 coffee cups?

[@christinescoloringandcrafts]

I saw 11 but I didn't pay attention until you said something. LOL. And if you count your ADORABLE doodle, then I saw 12. :D

[@rawrxheather]

They look exactly like the 180 brutfunier or however you spell it colored pencils.. cause i have that set. Lol great video! Love ya girl! 🤗🫶🏻

[@heroicn0nsense559]

Your videos are always so fun. I appreciate that you do what makes you happy and what you think is fun! I've seen these pencils advertised, and was interested in them myself. I may have to give them a whirl. Thank you so much for this review!

"I should empty this, but I'm not going to" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I got these for Christmas last year! But mine came in a zipper pouch kind of deal.

[@kaitlynking4941]

I counted 15,16, or 17 cups and Hi! Mira 👋

[@cazkiwinz4300]

Fun video! I counted 17 cups... not including the one you drew = 18 🤗🤗🤗

[@recoveringsoul755]

You make such cute drawings!! I wasn't hungry or thirsty, but had to go make coffee with hot chocolate and cream with a little cinnamon. It's too warm for this, still 84 degrees here at 4:40 pm. I hear drinking something hot is supposed to help you cool off. Maybe I should change out of this long sleeved shirt.

[@tyresehardy2367]

I think I saw 18 cups. But I was watching with my two year who keep trying to show me stuff so I may be way off

[@dakensh]

So cute love your cup :) so cute and I counted 16 cutie cups
