If you are looking for high quality colored pencils, Prismacolor’s are wonderful. Are they the absolutely best on the market? No. However, these are so significantly better than the average colored pencils, like Crayola’s. They go on paper smoothly and blend extremely well, and when you use them, you can immediately tell that they are quality pencils. I have created pieces that I’m extremely proud of using just these. In addition, professional artists use these and create unbelievable pieces—some of which you can’t even tell aren’t photographs. If you want to draw and have quality supplies, these are worth the investment, despite their prices. However, as for downfalls, the tips can break rather easily for quality colored pencils. These cannot take as much of a beating as some other brands. However, again, they are still much better than the average colored pencils (like Crayola’s).
I wear glasses everyday for distance, and this was a life changer. I used to carry around a mini spray bottle and wipe to clean my glasses, because using my shirt just left me irritated. But my mom recently got this cleaner for me as a gift, and it has replaced that. It uses no liquid, and no chemicals. I don’t understand exactly how it works—it’s something to do with carbon—but I’m just glad I don’t have to spray my glasses a few times a day and try to use a dirty cloth from my bag. You simply brush the lenses with the mini brush, then wipe the lenses with the padded wipers. The brush and wipers get put together in a small, compact way. It is really simple and easy to figure out after a minute. And, most importantly, it leaves my with the clean glasses I want. Unfortunately, there are sometimes smudges left, or it takes a few tries to make them perfect, but compared to any other cleaning methods, this is the one I prefer. Another thing that’s unfortunate though is the price tag; depending where you get it, you can pay up to about $20. I suggest shopping around to find a cheaper price.
