Some of the best customer service out there! Wow, they seriously care and want you to be happy with your markers! They emailed me when my order shipped, again to make sure they arrived on time, and again to be sure I loved the markers. They even included some fun suggestions on ways to use them. As to the markers themselves, they are perfect! Nice colors & they write beautifully and evenly. I am using them on a small, natural slate board In my dining room on which I write a scripture each day. So far they have erased easily with water & a cloth. No outlines or residue. See my photo above for how the colors show up on a slate background. Anyway, back to customer service, as it's such a rarity these days... You'd think I bought a car from these people for how attentive and thoughtful they were in their communications. I will admit that I haven't tried any other chalk markers. Given this experience, why would I? Thank you, Chalk This Way, for a great product backed by great people!

The markers are just what we have been looking for. We have tried 2 or 3 other brands that were just not made to be menu markers. Another brand that compared in quality to yours was 4 times the price. We will send you a picture of our menu board when we finish it.

I was pretty impressed with these chalk markers..... but not at first! Like with many liquid marker types, you need to shake it a bit at first, and then pump the pen QUITE A BIT on the surface in order to get the flow going. I am not sure if this is a first time thing only, or maybe after they are sitting for a day or week or more... I have nt had/used mine that long. I was just about to give up when the pen started working! (this should be done with the pen vertical on a flat surface to get it goin)

So, that little pet peeve aside.... THESE ARE VERY NICE!!

No odor (i'm sensitive to this and have a toddler that i don't want exposed to harsh chemicals/smells)

Great coverage and dries quickly! (even when going over your previous marks, it does not wipe it away like some markers do)

Cleans easily...just wiped with wet cloth.

So many uses.....windows, art projects, notes in the kitchen, labeling plastic storage containers (again and again, without leaving or using tape/labels and leaving a sticky residue)

I have not had mine for long, but would already recommend and would be willing to purchase in the future for myself or someone else! I will be updating my review when I have a good sense of how durable these are, how long the drawings/writing lasts, how many uses I get out of them, etc.

oh yeah, one little thing is that while in use, the lids do not fit onto the marker tops, I would prefer they did (as I loose track of small things like that with a toddler around), but this is in no way a deal breaker, just thought I would mention it.

*****UPDATE*****

After having these markers for a couple of months and using them more than a few times, I have to say I am STILL IMPRESSED.

I found out that you only have to "prime" them the first time, even after sitting for a few weeks, all you have to do is give them a shake and a few pumps and wha-la solid, beautiful colors! :)

My husband, my 22 month old daughter and myself all love these markers!

They don't smell(good for sensitive households like mine), they wash easily (good for everyone, especially those with small children), have nice colors, good coverage, and useful for so many things!

I work early mornings and leave before the family is awake so I use these markers to leave love notes on the bathroom mirrors, honey-do lists in the kitchen, to label the dishwasher as clean/dirty, so hubby knows what to do ;), also its great for my daughter to play with on the kitchen surfaces (fridge, dishwasher, trash compactor, oven) while I am in there cooking/cleaning :)

I have also used them in getting more organized... in my art station (and everywhere), I use these markers to label plastic bins so I can easily know what's inside without digging. I know I can always wipe it off and change it when/if needed, and I don't have to deal with labeling with a sticker or tape that might leave a mess to deal with :)

I also think these will come in handy during holiday decorations!

Honest reviews on Earthy Chalk Markers 10 Pack *** EXCLUSIVE LIFETIME GUARANTEE! ***

I received these markers in the mail on time. The packaging in suitable, the directions are on the markers which is nice. The markers function properly and they remove as stated. The only thing that I found a drawback is the caps/lids are not saveable on the ends of the markers. Big disappointment for me. I feel these type of markers are not solely for adults but, more of a product for children/youth to use and as a mother I am aware how children have difficulty in keeping track of things that have multiple pieces. If that is not an issue for you then these are great markers.

These chalk markers are great! My son enjoys to draw on the window and they're super easy to wipe off! They'd probably be much better for drawing on car windows with rather than using the old school shoe polish on the car window! I can't wait to decorate the windows for the holidays with these! I think the earthy colors will be great for fall. There are 10 markers so this really is a great deal!

I wish Elmers would sell the glue stick pen by itself. I use it for scrapbooking and I hate having to buy the variety pack just to get the pen. I sometimes donate the others to the local elementary school.

I received a sample of the Elmer's Craft Bond glues through Bzz agent. The glue stick didn't impress me it was ok, but not head and shoulders above the glue sticks my kids use for school. It was not purple, and it wasn't so "sticky", which I liked. There wasn't all of the gooey residue that I experience with the kids glue sticks, another bonus.

What I liked much more was the glue pen. The glue pen had a "thick spreader" end for those jobs where you just need more area covered (like scrapbook pages or crafts that are a little sturdier) and it had the "pen" end with a limited control, sharp point for glue to come out. I liked the control that the pen offered me in both instances. I felt the glue was easy to manage, but not so fast drying that I couldn't readjust when I needed to move something, once I had placed it. The glue was clear another bonus so the final affect was much more professional. I have to recommend the glue pen. It worked very well and was easier to manage then a glue bottle.

It is as advertised. However, the plastic case it comes in cracked because it didn't come in the safest packaging. Luckily, none of the storage jars themselves cracked but I would be wary about buying from this store again. The containers do as advertised--I used them mainly to store my lotions and such and nothing has happened. I do not store them in direct sunlight though to prevent the products inside from going bad.

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I received the mold today, and it's my first purchase of any lisa Pavelka products. I have to admit that I'm super impressed by the quality -this is by far that nicest mold I own, and I own my fair share. We're a craft household full of college art majors and cake hobbiest, I plan to use this as a cake border but my daughter has her eye on it for her art class (Mom's winning, she paid for it lol)! This thing looks like it'll outlast me and her, I believe it's a metal coated in some type of non-stick surface, and I love fact that the ends are closed-ended; therefore if I want to repeat my border it'll match up well and not look like separate pieces with a well-place trim with an exacto knife. I will admit I expected it to be bigger, but I so suprised by the superior quality so I'm willing to forgive the smaller size a bit since I feel that i did get a really well made item for my money, something that will last me for a long time, probably never wear out and appears that I can run over it in my car and not destroy it! I'd estimate the package to be approx 4" x 6" and attached a photo of it next to my hand for comparison.. If you're not expecting a larger mold, you'll be delighted with this one!

Can't find many of these colors at local hobby stores. Also, about the reducers...I was shown there are other products that can be used. If it doesn't work to welll with these paints, I may end having to order the large reducer bottle.

It is a beautiful variety of colors! It does not come with the application guide the side of the bottle refers you to for any information needed and I had a bottle or two show up in the set with considerably less paint in it than the others; otherwise I'd have rated it 5 stars.

great price! My only con is that the mandrel won't stay on the stand unless you put chewing gum (kidding) or some kind of handy tac to hold it on there while you work on your ring. Having said that, it does work well for making metal clay rings. I saved a lot of money buying this. I like the stepped feature, I made a really wide sterling ring, and it did go onto the size 13 step. I won't use the other mandrel, but at this price who cares.

First, let me tell you this company shipped this product lightening fast!!! Good customer service, QUALITY of the product is good, tears easily, sticks nicely to paper crafts.

However, I ordered this one from all the choices to order from due to the specific colors. But 2 of the 8 colors were OFF .. And the exact two I needed the most. I do understand its a computer screen .. Colors can be off ... But the other 6 were spot on. So much so I had to research if I even received the one I ordered.

The company was gracious and refunded the item without answering my questions, so I'm still not sure why the colors differed. However, due their rapid shipping and response to query, I feel 4 stars over 3 is warranted.

I have to say I had my doubts, I mean look how happy that guy is on the packaging surely a simple face paint couldn't bring that much joy?

Within minutes of whiting up I was laughing like a lunatic it's that good.

I've now purchased some of the other colours too and they're just as good. A word of warning though people seem to get really mad when you go out with the brown one on.

I ordered this product last Tuesday, and after it was delivered to me by the usual delivery falcons, I immediately began applying it to my face and neck. However, something was wrong. No matter how much I applied, or no matter where I applied it, I just wasn't as happy as the gentleman on the box. I bought several more packages of it, just in case I'd received a defective batch, but alas, I couldn't recreate the male model's sheer sense of happiness and general well being. Then I began to think "What if it's not a problem with the product? What if it's a problem with ME?!"

I realized that it was indeed my own problems that prevented me from achieving inner peace and true joy, so I began selling all my possessions. In fact, the only thing I didn't sell was the face paint, because I keep the packaging so I can look at that man's face every day and swear that one day, I will be as content with life as he is.

But I must cut this review short, as the manager of this internet cafe doesn't take kindly to people sitting naked in their seats and attempting to pay with positive thoughts. I'll just wrap up with this: Thank you, AMSCAN. Thank you. When I bought your product, I didn't just receive one ounce of white face paint. I received one ounce of truth.

So, I decided to add face painting to my repertoire, to see if there was any difference. Now with my face completely whited out, she doesn't see me standing in the hallway! Thanks AMSCAN!

Holbein Artists Gouache Primary Mixing Set of 5
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I formerly painted with oils but needed to find a less noxious, less cost-prohibitive paint I could actually use at home rather than just in a well-ventilated studio with proper resources for toxics disposal. I dislike the sheerness of acrylic paint and the soppiness of watercolors. Gouache is a great alternative. These tubes are small, not for large-scale work like I use to do, but I don't have room for that these days, anyhow. The pigment is concentrated, and really opaque and true to tone. You can thin the pigment down with water and you don't get any of that sheen and unevenness that drives me nuts about acrylic paint. Don't bother purchasing a huge set with a ton of colors--you can mix any hue you'd like with this set.

Shipping was fast, considering it was coming to the West Coast of the US from the UK. Highly recommended.

I use this airbrush for painting miniatures (Warmachine, Warhammer, etc) and larger scale model kits. I'd never used an airbrush before, so I did a lot of research before buying anything. This model has the three things that were most important to me -dual action, internal mix, gravity feed. I also like that it comes with three needles and tips. When painting minis, I use the smallest needle. When applying gloss varnish or basecoating larger models, the next size up works great. I haven't tried the biggest needle yet, though it would probably be good for painting terrain/dioramas.

The airbrush is very easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning. This was a big plus for me, as I was very intimidated at the prospect of having to take this thing apart and put it back together again. The instruction manual doesn't help much, but there are some good tutorials for this airbrush on YouTube. Just be careful with the needle! It is incredibly delicate.

The only issue I've had is that the trigger sometimes sticks a bit when you press it down. I read of this problem in other reviews, and some even suggest how to file down a couple pieces to fix the problem. I haven't attempted this yet, but I might. However, the sticking trigger isn't really a big deal at all. Hasn't affected my painting, as far as I can tell.

One thing to note -the hose that comes with this airbrush didn't fit with the regulator on my air compressor (and the hose that came with the air compressor didn't fit with the airbrush). I just brought the hose and regulator to a hardware store and they found the right adapter. I guess whether you have this problem will depend on what compressor you get, but in the end it was only a $2 problem.

In the end, this is a great airbrush. It feels very durable and it will be a LONG time before my skills exceed the capabilities of the airbrush. If you're looking for a quality airbrush that will work the way you want and last a long time, but don't want to pay the high prices for an Iwata, this is the way to go!

This is the first Paasche airbrush that I ever owned. The options in this set coupled with the low price was very attractive.

For the most part this airbrush is good but there are a few problems worth mentioning; also seeing that a reviewer had the same problems I had experienced also. Fist thing I noticed that the very thin .25 mm. needle was bent slightly at the tip (which is easy to do because it is so thin). I did not want to run bent it through the fluid nozzle and damage it also so I called Paasche and they immediately sent me a needle with no questions asked.

The second thing was that the .66 mm. fluid nozzle leaks fluid and bubbles back into the cup. To fix this problem you have to tighten it REALLY tight, but you can fix it by putting wax around the threading of the nozzle (I used some surfboard wax that I had). Also the fan air cap that goes with the .66 nozzle shoots a 2" fan instead of an advertised 3" fan.

For the low price and the options this set is totally worth it, being way better than the faulty Chinese knock-offs (with names like Master airbrush) that are flooding the market currently, and also being priced the same as them.

Being an American brand Paasche should pay more attention to details and manufacturing processes, but for the most part everything is alright and their customer support is very helpful.
