    Underwhelming Results for Such Glowing Reviews
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2016*

As a professional artist, these colors are no where near the "high" pigment load of even the winsor & newton cotman (student) range.  High pigment load for children's, scholastic, craft grade paints-- perhaps.  Medium to  low average at best for student grade lines.  No comparison to pro grade.  But given their price point I didn't expect them to be anywhere near pro grade.  And as there are no lightfastness ratings on them I would not trust them to be lightfast at all despite manufacture general claims.  The only light fast ratings that can be trusted are those with official I-IV standard scalings.  The color does not granulate and behaves roughly like some of the shades in crayola or prang sets.  Yet it's priced many times more than either.  It is semi opaque like most student grade sets but even with watering down tends toward cloudiness.  It's ok as a play set or one to toss in a go bag when you don't want to take your expensive paints along and are just mucking about.  A fine starter set for kids.  I was skeptical of some of the claims made and found out that skepticism was well founded.  Would not buy again unless reduced well under $10.  Very over-inflated price point for the quality delivered.  Again it is not horrible, just underwhelming.

    Blu Bento Paint Box is a KEEPER
  

*by B***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 31, 2016*

I received a Blu Bento Paint Box as a gift earlier this year, and my daughter was so enamored with it that I eventually told her she could keep it for her very own. I decided to order my very own Blu Bento, and I'm sure I'll love it as much as she does. The paints have lots of pigment, and the shades are lovely. There are two handy mixing wells right beside the paints, and the top also has 3 handy compartments for mixing. It's very easy to clean, and it's portable. We're huge fans!

    the paints that come with this set are not bad, and would be perfect for children
  

*by H***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 25, 2016*

Ok I'll admit it, I bought this product for the gorgeous blue tin in order to my artist-grade paints in.  However, the paints that come with this set are not bad, and would be perfect for children...I'll be sharing mine for sure.
