Review: Boy was I wrong about these - So, I had these all wrong. When I first bought them, I had no idea what I was doing. I thought these were going to be like a semi medium hard pastel that was somewhat soft, but this was not the case. These were hard, chalky as all can be when used, and mine broke >:-[ This clearly made me disappointed, because I really wanted to enjoy them. However, after MANY trial and errors, I realize that these are pretty great! I started using these like watercolor paint and they are super blendable, creamy when wet, and make painting/drawing so asthetically pleasing. I can say that I am happy with them and the colors are super vibrant and pretty. If you feel like they are not working for you, don't give up because you will find what works best for you when using these.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How easily do these smear?**
A: The red shades, mainly from pure red to orange are on the difficult side to smear. The pure red is unusable in my opinion. Purple hues are decent because they have some blue which is a lot softer.Everything else is very good for the price in my opinion, and the sharp edges allow you to have clean edges as well as the ability to smear.

**Q: Hello! I was wondering if these pastels are vegan? Any help figuring this out is appreciated!**
A: Never thought of pastels as a vegetable, fruit or otherwise. They are a chalk type base is all I know. It's certainly not something I would  eat.

**Q: Will they work on doll face-ups?**
A: I've read many reviews saying yes to that. With a little water and paint brush, swabbed over a patch of pastel on paper, then apply to the dolls face.

**Q: are these non toxic?**
A: Thank you for contacting Newell Rubbermaid Office Products. The product would state that it's non toxic on the back of the packaging of the product.Regards,Newell Rubbermaid Office Products
