It came right off when I sanitized this with rubbing alcohol! NOTHING in America is made well these days... I have cracks all over my fingertips, so I sanitized it!But as for how well the pencil works - AMAZING! Just please use better paint on the dang thing in the future????? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As promised, in perfect shape and quality! *by on Reviewed in the United States March 25, 2026* In perfect shape and quality! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really great pencils to work with *by on Reviewed in the United States April 4, 2023* I purchased a full tin of these polychromos colored pencils to start doing some drawings with. These are very nice pencils. I don't need to use any fixative and the color won't fade. They are easily blended and layered. In my most recent drawing I used a total of 35 colored pencils in it, and didn't have any trouble blending any of them. However my new puppy got one of them and chewed a portion of one end and split the pencil up about an inch and a half. It was my cadmium yellow light. It is a beautiful yellow, one that I absolutely do not want to be without, so I ordered two more to replace what she chewed up. I have no regrets on the purchase of this set of polychromos colored pencils. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/9967299-faber-castell-art-and-graphic-polychromos-colour-pencil-226-alazarin](https://www.desertcart.us/products/9967299-faber-castell-art-and-graphic-polychromos-colour-pencil-226-alazarin) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
