Hi Lucy what a fun video. I enjoyed your new format as so many people do swatching but few show how pencils or paint lay down in practice. So this was very useful all round. I love Rita Berman too so it’s a win win from me. Thank you so much for all the hard work that you put into your channel. Look after yourself. ❤
They are really impressive and I am certainly going to buy them really soon, thanks for showing us. I hope your hands are working a little bit better by now, lots of joy coloring dear Lucy and have a really nice week. Greetings and love from Jessica 🥰💜
I just had a bit of deja vue! I used to listen to a very talented Aussie lady whose channel was called apocketfullofvintage. You sound so much like her! I miss her. But I really like your channel! Thanks so much for this demo!
You was right when you said everyone will go and snatch up these pencils after you showing them. There sold out on Amazon US, they was $4.99 a set. Hopefully it won’t be long till there back in stock and I can get some of them to try. Loved your demo those feathers are gorgeous! 😊
This video was so much fun Lucy. I too get excited to play with new pencil sets. That being said, I paused the video, went to Amazon and somehow the pencils fell into my cart. I can’t wait to get them. Thank you Lucy! You are treasure.
Thank Lucy! I was eyeing these as a take out the house set, and they seem to be on the way tomorrow! Love your videos and your chatter, feels like we’re friends having a natter! ❤❤
Thanks Lucy! some interesting points to add; these are a revamp of Spectrum Noir's old Colorista pencils which I bought back in the day. Back then they came in 6 packs of eight pencils in black patterned packaging. The barrels were all completely painted to colour match the core ( which didn't really match with the darker shades) and there were no colour names. Around the same time I'd bought a 1 pack of 12 Crayola pencils for £1.50 and the Colorista were at the time considerably more expensive at about £0.65 unit price compared to £0.13 for those Crayola. Comparing your swatches with my old swatch it appears they've completely revamped the shades as there were only 3 browns and 4 yellows which were very similar in colour, and there were lots of pinks and turquoise shades. I wouldn't call those pencils soft at all and the lighter shades were very wishy washy and hard to get a good laydown, but overall, they did a very creditable job when I used them to colour the nameplate page on a Tatiana Bogema on Createspace paper. To be honest, I store them with those 12 Crayola pencils which do include a black and a useless white, and use them all together. Am I tempted to re-buy them? Probably not, but your video does show considerable improvement over the pencils I own.
Been using these for a few weeks now and still love them. Down to £10 now on Amazon. My favourite colour is the peacock green...it's gorgeous! Thank you again for showing us these. X
i prefer this to just swatching, we get to see what the pencils are really like in a colouring environment 😄 i’ve just watched this video for the second time because i did go and buy them, and oh my goodness, they are amazing, i can’t believe the quality for the price! they’re really nice to use and ‘self blend’ is a really good way to describe them! love them, i hope they come out with more colours 😊
I really enjoyed watching you color with the Colorista pencils vs just swatching. As a newbie I learn a lot from you regarding color blending and color choices. Thanks for this and would love more videos like this if you enjoy reviewing products this way!
Beautiful colouring Lucy, beautiful pencils, and you always make a great video. What a bargain eh? In the basket and kerching!!!!!🎉 happy days Lucy thank you for enabling me and for the beautiful artwork you create and the beautiful lady you are. I hope your hands start to feel a little more comfortable soon. Take care 😘
Hi Lucy. I hope your hands are feeling better!! I looked on Amazon here for the pencils and could not find them. I guess they were sold out. I was able to purchase them from another site. Thanks so much for sharing. 💕
Love the video these pencils look really great and for the price they are amazing - we can’t get them on Amazon here in Oz yet. I’ll have to keep looking!! Much better than a swatch ! 🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️ Chris
Lucy, I immediately ordered these pencils while watching this😂.Thanks for showing them to us, and I enjoyed seeing your try them out in Rita’s beautiful book. The eggs are beautiful, and they seem pretty vibrant for being budget pencils. I have some of the more expensive Spectrum Noir Color soft pencils, but these seem beautiful. Take care❤🤗
Crafter’s Companion add postage!!!! You did a good job creating your swatch charts 👍 Mine are on their way 🚂 🚂 🚂 I don't mind which way you show us new pencils. An only swatching OR colouring video, I'll be watching Thank you 😊
I like watching the pencils being colored/played with instead of swatching. Had to pause to go buy a set. I hope your hands get better soon!!! Take care my dear friend 🤗💖💜
Colorista should provide you with commission for each set is sold from your swatch video. I too purchased a set while watching this video. Can’t wait to swatch them in a couple of days when they arrive!
Hey Lucy !! I love your channel and as I was watching this morning, I was scrolling and found a post by Coloring Queen, she was reviewing a set of pencils by the same name as these, but in a black packaging and only 8 pencils per set, it was 5 years ago. I hope this helps, maybe these other pencils, if they are still in circulation, would have some colors that this set doesn’t. The barrels on this other set has the same color as the cores, instead of white with the ends colored. Thanks for the work you put into bringing ideas and techniques to us, your viewers 😊
Thank you Lisa these pencils look amazing and what a bargain price too .. at first glance these pencils do remind me of the ‘ look like the tombow pencils .. I shall have to try these tysmfs my lovely 🥰
Glad you liked these and it was interesting to watch how easily you use them. I got some recently from WH Smith and whilst I loved them, it's nice to hear you liked them too and gave a demo :-) I think as you can get them as small sets, they make them very economical. They've also brought out slim alcohol markers in this Colorista range, which I also love. Just need them to bring out more colours 🙂
They look lovely, I'm in love with the brights set 😍😍. I've now added them to my ever growing wishlist 😂😂. Your colouring is amazing and the white highlights on the eggs look awesome. Thanks for showing us xxx ❤❤
You have colored a whole egg now and I went on Amazon and got the set in the US, where they are more expensive ($4.99) and still totally worth it. I'm glad it's a small set for now, but hope it grows :D Thank you!!! Back to the video!!!
Thank you, Lucy, of course, whichever you choose to do, whether it be swatching or coloring, as long as you spend time with us!!!! Of course, I purchased, however, here in USA Amazon, they were $4.99/set. I do believe they are still worth it & am currently awaiting delivery🙄. Thank you again for sharing your time & chat. Take care and God bless.
Hi Lucy! They look really nice, but unfortunately here in the Netherlands they costs euro 4.50 ( 3.95 Pond) so they are twice the price as my brutfuner square!!
Hello Lucy, I got these pencils as I was looking for a complete beginners set and didn't want to outlay a lot. I came across you while searching for tutorials on this set. Love your honesty and how you are telling it how they really are. As a true beginner, what paper or colouring books would you recommend please ? Unsure if it's for me but willing to try. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.
Are these the same consistency as the spectrum noir colourblend please.? does it make a difference between the old style colour/aqua blend and new style thanks.
ordered them as soon as i did not hear any scratching come on for 12 quid all i kept thinking these will go great with the other pencils spectrum noir do i know they will come out with more i will be buying 2 lol
I seen them about a month ago but decided to wait xD then they went out of stock lol so now i got them, but it seem they restocking them quickly, so wouldnt worry about them selling out, because they come back quickly:) i am more worried about SN rising the price. Thanks for the review i am now looking more forward to playing with them tomorrow, even though my experience with SN pencils isnt great 😆
I just ordered this set, and I couldn't believe how cheap they were. I expect that the company will hike the price a lot once the word gets round about how good they are.
Lovely colouring, those eggs look amazing! Had to get them of course. Am quite new to colouring with pencils so may I ask you...or anybody in the UK.... Where do you get your Prismacolour pencils from? Thank you. I'm now binge watching your other videos....such an inspiration!
I think mainly Amazon well them here in the UK and they are very expensive compared to the USA. There is no official licensed seller here. I use Polychromos and get them open stock from Cult Pens online in the UK. They sell lots of different pencils, gel lens etc open stock as well as sets and they are cheaper than Amazon. Fabulous customer service as well.
Hi Lucy, I sent you an email to your address in the channel the other evening. You were saying your washing machine was on it's last legs. Can you go and have a look for the email and let me know if the washing machine I was offering is any use or not? Thank you.
She has explained why her thumb is in the way and she tries her hardest to move it. She stated at the beginning of the video that she was having problems with her hands today.

Hi Lucy. I hope your hands are feeling better!! I looked on Amazon here for the pencils and could not find them. I guess they were sold out. I was able to purchase them from another site. Thanks so much for sharing. 💕

I'm gob smacked Lucy absolutely brilliant for the price ❤ I really enjoyed your demonstration much more enjoyable than switching thank you my lovely❤

I much prefer the colouring as the swatching, going to check my Amazon later.
Lucy thank you. I so enjoyed this approach to introducing a new pencil. Look can really see how they may look in a book more than just swatching.
Thank you, Lucy, for sharing this find of yours! Loved the way you demoed instead of swatching. 🥰
Crafter’s Companion add postage!!!! You did a good job creating your swatch charts 👍 Mine are on their way 🚂 🚂 🚂 I don't mind which way you show us new pencils. An only swatching OR colouring video, I'll be watching Thank you 😊

I picked these up today for £1.99 each.
Only got them as remembered you reviewed and said there was good. 😅

Thanks Lucy, super find - mine are on their way 🙈😂❤️
I have these pencils and I really enjoy using them, they are good quality for the price point and would love to see more sets of them.
Just ordered these and they’ve already sold out of the bright colours set. Can’t wait for them to come.
Thanks you Lucy for showing us these pencils an example of cheep is not nasty. 😊
They look lovely, I'm in love with the brights set 😍😍. I've now added them to my ever growing wishlist 😂😂.
Your colouring is amazing and the white highlights on the eggs look awesome.
Thanks for showing us xxx ❤❤
Thank you Lucy, for your reviews and your color alongs! I had to buy the pencils and can’t wait to get them in! Lots of love from Florida!!
You have colored a whole egg now and I went on Amazon and got the set in the US, where they are more expensive ($4.99) and still totally worth it. I'm glad it's a small set for now, but hope it grows :D Thank you!!! Back to the video!!!

They do art markers in the same range too
I know Louisa I bet they are good fun
Oh Lucy you are making me spend more money lol, just ordered the Markart 120 lucky me, brilliant video as always xxx
Hi Lucy! They look really nice, but unfortunately here in the Netherlands they costs euro 4.50 ( 3.95 Pond) so they are twice the price as my brutfuner square!!
Have you tried wearing a compression glove for your hand? I have RA in my hands and the gloves have helped me.
I haven't but something I will look into thank you 😊
Lovely 🌹
Hello Lucy, I got these pencils as I was looking for a complete beginners set and didn't want to outlay a lot. I came across you while searching for tutorials on this set. Love your honesty and how you are telling it how they really are. As a true beginner, what paper or colouring books would you recommend please ? Unsure if it's for me but willing to try. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.
Are these the same consistency as the spectrum noir colourblend please.? does it make a difference between the old style colour/aqua blend and new style thanks.
ordered them as soon as i did not hear any scratching come on for 12 quid all i kept thinking these will go great with the other pencils spectrum noir do i know they will come out with more i will be buying 2 lol
Yesterday when I first saw these Amazon said they were $4.99 USD for a tin of 12 pencils. That’s 0.42 cents a pencil. Just now I can’t find them.
I seen them about a month ago but decided to wait xD then they went out of stock lol so now i got them, but it seem they restocking them quickly, so wouldnt worry about them selling out, because they come back quickly:) i am more worried about SN rising the price. Thanks for the review i am now looking more forward to playing with them tomorrow, even though my experience with SN pencils isnt great 😆
Just bought the whole set for £10.99! Individual sets £2.99 each…… bargain! Can’t wait to try them out now, thanks.
They look like nice pencils but they don't sell them in Canada 😢
I just ordered this set, and I couldn't believe how cheap they were. I expect that the company will hike the price a lot once the word gets round about how good they are.
They look like the irojiten and probably feels like them too.
I like these pencils but have found if you don't blow the bits away they can spoil your page you are colouring
Lovely colouring, those eggs look amazing! Had to get them of course. Am quite new to colouring with pencils so may I ask you...or anybody in the UK.... Where do you get your Prismacolour pencils from? Thank you. I'm now binge watching your other videos....such an inspiration!

Fabulous customer service as well.
Thank you. I have Polychromos...fabulous pencils. What I really want is a white prismacolour for blending. Everybody tells me it's the best. X
A good white pencil for blending is the Derwent Drawing Chinese White (72)
Thank you for replying. I do have that one and it is quite good but I'd still like to try the Prismacolor white.
Hi Lucy, hi every one. It's just like a little family here. 😊❤
Thanks Lucy. I’m now 12.99 lighter and my pencils came today 😂x
Whoops, I may of just ordered some :) but here in Australia they are not as cheap, got all 4 packets plus shipping from here for $47.50 eekkk
❤
$10 a pack here in australia
I succumbed too 😂
I went on Amazon and they're $4.99 each, but I'm in America so that might be why there's a difference!
❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Lucy, I sent you an email to your address in the channel the other evening. You were saying your washing machine was on it's last legs. Can you go and have a look for the email and let me know if the washing machine I was offering is any use or not? Thank you.
They are $5 for us Americans and almost sold out
I enjoy your videos .but sometimes it's annoying I can't see you colouring because your thumb is in the way.
She has explained why her thumb is in the way and she tries her hardest to move it. She stated at the beginning of the video that she was having problems with her hands today.
❤Lucy just sent for all 4 love the way there colours bland well xx amozon just text to say I will get them tomorrow xx 😘 🌹🤗🫠🌸💜❤️💙♥️🧡xx yippee xx got the book you have love your Chanel xx 😊X
