No MOJO so lets talk pencils: New Pastel and Metalic Colored Pencils from Brutfuner & Kalor

Описание: It's been a week friends, I have struggled to find painting inspiration and have been feeling flat. I have also been defragging the room of hoard as well as my office (filming room) and noticed a pile of stuff I want to review. These pencils were at the top of the pile. Brutfuner has come out with a 72-pencil set with an additional 22 colors to the 50 set I reviewed here:    • Why pay $157 When you can get these Holbei...   I really like this set, so much that I bought a backup 50 set before I knew the 72 set was coming out. *Please refer to that review for an in-depth look at the Brutfuner Macaron colors. I will also compare these to the new Kalor pastel pencils.

We will also look at the Brutfuner 50 metallic set and compare them to the metallic pencils in the Brutfuner 520 set I reviewed here:    • NEW! Brutfuner 520 Colored Pencils Honest ...  
The new brutfuner metallics were softer and more opaque than the ones in the 520 set but only slightly. I also compared them to the Derwent Metallic pencils which are the best in my opinion for shine and coverage but they are markedly more expensive.

The 50 Brutfuner metallics and 72 macaron pencils were sent to me by Ansdtal Stationary shop on aliexpress. They arrived well-packaged and fairly quickly considering that these were sent overseas. they are made in China.

I purchased the 50 Kalor pencils because I wondered how they compared and I thought the art on the tin was beautiful: https://amzn.to/3GmOLfc
*I swatched out the Kalor pencils and then compared to the Brutfuner 40 set and most of the color names were different but 49 colors were perfect matches. Brufuner had one more pink and the Kalor had an extra green.
And before I knew the 72 set was coming I bought a backup of the 50 set because I need my head examined: https://amzn.to/3Cti4vE *Hey, i just saw this seller has the 72 set as well!
These are the Derwent metallics: https://shrsl.com/3va68 *they have the best quality but they are much more expensive so you can decide if they are worth it. Also, it is a smaller range of colors.
