Review: Great set of Inktense pencils - Purchased these during Prime sale. I have happily paid full price for Inktense Pencils and so half price was a total bargain. The range of colours in the set provides a great range for landscapes, nature and other types of drawing. The outliner pencil in this set was water soluble even though there was no brush motif on the barrel of the pencil. I think it will still be very useful. Great starter set or to add to existing pencils.
Review: Absolute bargain in April 2026 £15.85 will never be at the price again I reckon - What an awesome find when these were on sale in April 2026 . I usually never find a bargain . These were at the time of purchase £15.85 . Tbh I thought they must have been fakes . So I was apprehensive waiting for their arrival No need to be. They turned all boxed carefully well packaged to find an inner box carton upon removal of this I found a wonder wooden box to store them in .All in tact no a single one broken . I had to just bought the bargain of the century . I have been wanting to invest in these for ages but the price was over £90 at the time a week before . So when I saw them I thought surely they have the price wrong , I smapped it up straight away . Which I had bought the remaining sets for the price amazing quality and even at £90 there still worth it but I’m a tight person lol and would always want stuff for has cheap has I can get it . It has a great colour selection for 48 , They so pigmented and water down nicely . I’d love to buy a bigger set if they ever come down in price . I would recommend these to anybody . 5*
