Lovely haul!! So many gorgeous books... my bank balance will not thank you though..!! As someone who only colours in colouring books your reviews answer pretty much all of the questions I might have about the vast array of options out there, they are entertaining and informative and I know I'm not the only one that would miss them if you stopped... so please please don't let a few negative comments put you off.
Aww thanks Kathryn 🥰 The reason I started reviewing things was because I wanted to find the best things for me to use... and while I'm doing it for me, might as well share! I guess I never expected for peeps to be unnecessarily critical. 🥴
Dont stop your comparison videos Lily. You are the number one professional at doing them. I enjoy watching them & even miss your tea slurping. If someone doesnt like it, they can watch something else cant they??? Happy to see you back ❤❤❤
@clairewalters8238 Thanks Claire 🥰 The reason I started reviewing things was because I wanted to find the best things for me to use... and while I'm doing it for me, might as well share! I guess I never expected for peeps to be unnecessarily critical. 🥴
Oh, I know! And how about the gift cards that will be received at Christmas! A "no buy" is a terrible thing to do at this time of the year! I think it would take a willpower of iron to overcome those bargains! :)
Awesome Haul ! You made me laugh when you were talking about putting your books on Ebay and then looking at them like you wanted to buy them 😂😂😂 ...Goodluck with your No Buy month 🙈
@jicolourist If you've never bought anything from Temu you'll get offered so many "first puchase" discount codes! Hope you are keeping well lovely Jodi 🥰
I think the weird creature might be an alpaca :) Always love your videos so much Thanks for sharing your struggles! I am always so tempted even when my bookshelf is overflowing and I have things that are similar
That fairy book is so lovely! I've never done colour by numbers, and I love that they give you the images again to do your own thing... I want it 😂 I'll agree, your unhaul also made me want to buy more books 😂
Lovely haul. I agree with you on the colour by number I prefer the more adult-y books. Had to buy the Christmas colour by number with the Christmas village scenes are so cute.
@@Victoriacolouringquest Vickster! Definitely, I hadn't looked at CBN books for a while as Color Questopia books weren't really my jam anymore, so was surprised how nice these were.
Dear Gel Pen Queen, I am looking for a good, large and affordable set of plain gel pens and can’t find one. I have plenty of glitter pens (Aen Art) and can’t find a plain set, no neon, glitter, metallic, etc. Thank you, Queen!🫅 Nice haul!! Love all of the acrylic markers.
@junbug1029 aww I've been looking for something similar myself. I do have a video planned where I show the ones I have discovered and compare them. Maybe I'll film that one next, I love comparing and playing with pens! Hope you are well my lovely 🥰
Aww your books are cute I didn’t get on that easy coloring book trend I’m not a marker person and I think they are more for markers . But they are adorable ❤😂
@jackiekonrad859 Yes, they're definitely more for markers although I have seen some lovely ones finished in pencil (check out @Wendyscolouring she did some amazing layering and blending with pencils over the markers) I think if my arm wasn't poorly and I wasn't using markers a lot at the moment, I probably wouldn't have tried them... but I am enjoying them! 🥰
Super collection of stuff! Tempting on some of those baby books, 😜 Ive ordered that Cocowyo one that's being published on better paper by Penguin, so I might be good and just have only that one, as a have a few now. I dont have any of those you've shown through, and some are cute!😉 I have those Guangna pens (no surprise) they are great, I got them after I used the Arrtx ones, as I wanted more colours. (They do a 168 boxed set of those now,) I used them loads, they are super pens, and I actually really like the box, the shelves pull forward to create little shelves, and with the swatch on top, its really easy to put them away and keep them in it. They are all the same company I think, some of the pens Lightwish send me are Guangna. The only downsize is the size, these are much smaller, so not sure how long they will last if you are using them for colour by numbers. I'm using them for lines, so they have lasted a few months, I've had no issues with them, they are a bargain, I'll be getting some more after Christmas when my pennies allow. Thanks for showing all these, 👍
@wendyscolouring I've pre-ordered that CocoWyo one too... I'd forgotten that! I did give two of the Cute books in this haul to my brother yesterday, so I'm back down to six 😅 I think that's enough now! There seems to be *so* many on Amazon at the moment! I can't tell the difference between some of them Fuzzy Hygge, Hygge Fuzzy 🤣 Ooo 168... I bet that's a fab array! I wonder if I can get the extra 48 separately... I shall make it my mission... oh wait... dang... no spend 🤣
I love your reviews please don’t stop ❤ I never realised Ohuhu was a Chinese company, I suppose from the name made me think they were from Hawaii. Pens and Pencils from Temu looks great but I’m less keen on the company because of all the plagiarism with artists finding their stuff copied
@@WarboysWitch aww thanks Jay 🥰 With regards to Ohuhu, I think that's why they use Hawaiian sounding names, so people don't realise! I've seen a lot of videos from people who believe Ohuhu are an American company (they 100% are not!)
Hi Lilly loved your video.. I had the 24 acrylic pastel ones delivered yesterday and the skin tone one and another marker set from the same company.. I recently got the same pencils as a free gift from temu thank you for sharing ❤❤❤😊😊😊xxxx
Haul or unhaul - I usually end up with one or two more books on my wishlist 😅 Lovely to see all them books, I recently discovered Sui Sui as well and ordered me the Hygge Holiday one 😊
Hi Lily. Great haul, even though I'm on a no buy I can still enjoy vicariously watching this. Why does all the shings I think I want or need come out when funds are tight?????? Anyhow enjoy the hygee books they are so cute.
@rebeccahicks3554 I know, there's some juju or law that makes that happen! Good Luck on your no-spend too, we're in it together. Let's hold hands and sing Kumbaya 😅🥰
Love your style and humor!!! Yah I think that creature in that one cute and cozy book is a giraffe just the AI used to create it goofed the mouth and that right eye and the creator didn’t catch it and fix it. I love your videos! Do whatever you want that makes you happy and don’t worry about negative comments. Some people need to find themselves a hobby, or a life. lol ❤
I got the pastel acrylic markers and they are lovely I do want to get the 120 set too when I can and the fluorescent pencils look very interesting lovely haul Lily I love your comparison and review video please don't be put off by people who think they know it all or know better you can only do it from your own knowledge and perspective and a lot of us thoroughly enjoy those video keep doing you Lily coz there are tons of us who think you are amazing 😊💜💜💜💜
i have the 168 marker *from the 120 set you showed* and loving them. Much cheeper then Arrtx and I think they are more opaque. I bought them from shein. was 40 euros (first time order discount). Love love love them. No need for Arrtx anymore. They let me down with their watersoluable pencils I bought from amazon. They were awful and the custumer service is horrible. So By by Arrtx. I hope you enjoy them as much as i do
@@ArtJourneyUK definitely will. I have the 120, the 24 macaron already delivered and the 24 skin on the way. Temu orders ya know. Was thinking that would be it except you said there's a duplicate in the macaron. Like you, I'm having issues with pencils at the moment due to my shoulder and have switched to markers. I fell in love with a small set of Biaonyo; so now I'm in search of the sets I'm missing to get the 53 I need.
@Tasha_75 Yes, there's definitely a few duplicates of the macarons. Ooo shoulder twins! 🥰 Gotta keep colouring whatever! Hope yours is not too painful and we both heal in the fullness of time 😊
I am laughing out loud, see what I mean about seeing something and re-buying so maybe I am not old and daft after all eh! twin 🤣🤣 I have been buying books on art ( got rid of loads when I moved from the city) Been trying to get Hannah's new xmas one too really liked it will keep looking... Those pens look nice ( as I spoke those words I taped my purse very tightly shut lol ) 🫣 Thing is I must have a wee devil living in my home seems my purse keeps getting loose 😬😬😉
@crossstitchbutton 🤣🤣🤣 I'll send over superglue for your purse! Yes, there's something about seeing something on the Internet that makes it seem so much more enticing than when it's on your bookshelf! 🥰
thank you Lily for this fun video.....i cant wait for the acrylic brush pen review ...i want to know if they are good ..i have sharpie creative markers so i dont know if they are similar....please dont stop the reviews....
In September, I bought the 24 sets of those GuangNa acrylic markers, the Skin Tone, the Macaron, and the Classic for around $12 USD (They are now around $20 USD on Amazon US). I loved them so much that when I saw the huge 120 set on Temu at the beginning of October that I immediately bought them for around $47 USD. Gasp* but I had a $21 credit to use so after that they were affordable. They arrived and the colors not included in the smaller sets were such a wonderful addition that I immediately went to get a backup set. In just two weeks the 120 set had increased in price to almost $80 USD and they continually are out of stock even at that price. I just recently bought a backup Skin tone 24 set on a lightning deal because there are five colors in that set not in the 120 set. All the ones in the Macaron and the Classic set are in the 120 set. But backups are nice. I always enjoy watching your comparison videos. Please don't stop making them because of a few naysayers. We love you.
@barbarahowell2549 Ooo you got a bargain Barbara! I reckon the prices will drop again around black Friday. Another subscriber just said that Amazon US have/had a 50% off coupon for the 120 set (in the UK there's currently a 30% off coupon). So worth keeping an eye out for your backup set! 🥰
@@ArtJourneyUK The GuangNa are currently $89.99 USD with a 10% off coupon in Amazon US. That leaves them over $80 USD, still too expensive. There is another box without the GuangNa label that look identical otherwise going for $68.99 with a 40% off coupon (final cost would be a little over $40 with a coupon. I'm hesitant to buy any without the GuangNa on the box though. I may have to take a chance.
@@astra_m00n ohhh that's you! I've never linked you on here to your Astra Luna Instagram account... should have done as it makes sense!! I love your Sen Ong pages!
HELP, I'm lost, I'm tired of fantasy, cute and cuddly doesn't appeal and I've done enough flowers to fill my house several times over, where do I go next?????? Please help
@janetstorey416 Ooo dare I suggest Mandalas or pattern books or would they be too mundane? When I get bored, I switch medium. Right now, I'm colouring with markers exclusively (because of my poorly arm) and its making me miss using my pencils so much. Right now I'd love to use pencils in *anything*, even a Johanna Basford wallpaper page! I chop and change a lot, always come back to colouring flowers, then get bored of those. There are so many different type of books, have you tried the beautiful ladies type of books? Blending hair and skin is always a challenge, so can get the creative juices going...
Totally sickened myself of Mandela when I first started colouring, some 10years ago. Your suggestions on beautiful ladies has merit as does your medium change. I've been seriously thinking about giving watercolour another try. My problem was I like bold, in your face colour, which you tend not to get with watercolour, or at least I thought you couldn't, now I'm not so sure. I think I might play with watercolour and see how far I can push them, you've inspired me. Thanks for your suggestions. Hope your arm gets better soon. Regards.
Those 120 markers are over 70€ right now on Temu and Amazon for me. But if they hold up, I might have to adjust my christmas wishlist 😂 Currently I have some Arrtx on there...
i'm quite happy, that i'm not into markers (can't stand the smell of alcohol markers as they tend to give me migraines). That really is a money saver. :D The Books are very, very cute, don't get me wrong, but i wouldn't colour in any of them with other mediums other than markers. It's nonetheless always fun to see what other Colourists buy. I really love japanese, korean and chinese colouring books and the one with the ice bear is next on my to buy list. Basically ... 65-70 % of my Colouring Books are from Asia.
I can't stand the smell of Sharpies and used to struggle with Alcohol Markers too (especially Ohuhus) but I seem to have got better recently. Although I do still find the Ohuhu smells lingers a bit too much! The Ice bear book is *gorgeous*.. Happy Colouring my lovely 🥰
For all second hand book seller. Yes, PLEASE stop sending coloring books in polythene bags! Even a bubble mailer is quite risky! Because books can bend, dent and crease and it just ruins them. I order (and sell) quite frequently second hand books, but it's been more than once that I got them in polythene bags and bubble mailers. So upsetting! Especially if it's a rare find! Just get out cardboard envelops. If I sell many books to one costumer, I just stick them with two or three in cardboard envelopes and then tape them together (and sometimes put a bag around that, so it looks more like a singular package and can't be taken apart during transport).
@@Renekorf I was really lucky! So many people say its out of stock, I guess the stars were aligned for me that day. Hope you manage to get a copy before Christmas 🥰
I love your reviews! I think people think they are trying to be helpful when they give you their 2 cents. However, it’s annoying when people give their opinions without actually listening to what you are saying or perhaps not watching the entire video where you say..,I want these to color in single sided coloring books. Then they would understand and perhaps not talk about something they have no idea what they are talking about.
@nothingnessofeverything Yes, that's exactly it. I know most people are not being intentionally nasty but it's exactly like you say, they haven't necessarily listened to what I'm testing them for. 🥰
Some folk Lily ? Know everything but in reality they know nowt ! Im all for constrctive criticism HOWEVER , said criticism should be framed in such a way that they dont discourage the reviewer. I may not use markers the same way as you , but that doesnt matter. Just smile sweetly and tell them ( under your breath) to start walking, turn left, go through the gate, down the hill, across the beach and to walk into the sea until their hat floats 😂😂😂
@mewsli Same, constructive criticism is always helpful but when you're telling me I'm wrong because that not how you use a pen.. that irks me 😅 Just laughed out loud at the hat floating! Maybe I'll reply to negative comments with just "I hope your hat floats" and then only you and me will know what I mean 😂

My evil twin bought some pencils ( for the case!!) And a japanese colouring book. My excuse? Its my Christmas and Birthday present!!
Happy Birthday! I think I have an evil twin too... she's awake buying stuffs on Amazon while I'm asleep 🤣
@ArtJourneyUK my birthday is 6-7 weeks away !! Mind you we only have one birthday but 364 UN-BIRTHDAYS ....
I am astra_luna_coloring and thanks a lot for name-dropping me in the description
@@astra_m00n ohhh that's you! I've never linked you on here to your Astra Luna Instagram account... should have done as it makes sense!! I love your Sen Ong pages!
HELP, I'm lost, I'm tired of fantasy, cute and cuddly doesn't appeal and I've done enough flowers to fill my house several times over, where do I go next?????? Please help
@janetstorey416 Ooo dare I suggest Mandalas or pattern books or would they be too mundane? When I get bored, I switch medium. Right now, I'm colouring with markers exclusively (because of my poorly arm) and its making me miss using my pencils so much. Right now I'd love to use pencils in *anything*, even a Johanna Basford wallpaper page!
I chop and change a lot, always come back to colouring flowers, then get bored of those. There are so many different type of books, have you tried the beautiful ladies type of books? Blending hair and skin is always a challenge, so can get the creative juices going...
Totally sickened myself of Mandela when I first started colouring, some 10years ago. Your suggestions on beautiful ladies has merit as does your medium change. I've been seriously thinking about giving watercolour another try. My problem was I like bold, in your face colour, which you tend not to get with watercolour, or at least I thought you couldn't, now I'm not so sure.
I think I might play with watercolour and see how far I can push them, you've inspired me. Thanks for your suggestions. Hope your arm gets better soon. Regards.
Have you tried Rita Berman books? I love their variety
Sounds like a plan! Happy Colouring 🥰
Those 120 markers are over 70€ right now on Temu and Amazon for me. But if they hold up, I might have to adjust my christmas wishlist 😂 Currently I have some Arrtx on there...
Good grief! I suggest adding them to your basket and waiting for the inevitable price drop!
i'm quite happy, that i'm not into markers (can't stand the smell of alcohol markers as they tend to give me migraines). That really is a money saver. :D The Books are very, very cute, don't get me wrong, but i wouldn't colour in any of them with other mediums other than markers. It's nonetheless always fun to see what other Colourists buy. I really love japanese, korean and chinese colouring books and the one with the ice bear is next on my to buy list. Basically ... 65-70 % of my Colouring Books are from Asia.
I can't stand the smell of Sharpies and used to struggle with Alcohol Markers too (especially Ohuhus) but I seem to have got better recently. Although I do still find the Ohuhu smells lingers a bit too much! The Ice bear book is *gorgeous*.. Happy Colouring my lovely 🥰
Lovely things and some lovely videos to look forward to! Ignore the sad people who only watch videos to find things to moan about.
@@BevM7373 Yeah, I think some people just like to watch and then explain how they know more. I need to not take it personally 🥰
Morning Lovely Lady, Another Great Video, An Fab Items. Hope You An The Family Are Well? X
Morning sweetheart... hope you're doing OK. We're all good here 🥰
@@ArtJourneyUKJust Love All Your Video's
You Have Helped Me So Much In Lots Of Ways. X
For all second hand book seller. Yes, PLEASE stop sending coloring books in polythene bags! Even a bubble mailer is quite risky! Because books can bend, dent and crease and it just ruins them. I order (and sell) quite frequently second hand books, but it's been more than once that I got them in polythene bags and bubble mailers. So upsetting! Especially if it's a rare find! Just get out cardboard envelops. If I sell many books to one costumer, I just stick them with two or three in cardboard envelopes and then tape them together (and sometimes put a bag around that, so it looks more like a singular package and can't be taken apart during transport).
@@astra_m00n Ditto!
I want that God Jul and it’s always out of stock😢
@@Renekorf I was really lucky! So many people say its out of stock, I guess the stars were aligned for me that day. Hope you manage to get a copy before Christmas 🥰
I love your reviews! I think people think they are trying to be helpful when they give you their 2 cents. However, it’s annoying when people give their opinions without actually listening to what you are saying or perhaps not watching the entire video where you say..,I want these to color in single sided coloring books. Then they would understand and perhaps not talk about something they have no idea what they are talking about.
@nothingnessofeverything Yes, that's exactly it. I know most people are not being intentionally nasty but it's exactly like you say, they haven't necessarily listened to what I'm testing them for. 🥰
Some folk Lily ? Know everything but in reality they know nowt ! Im all for constrctive criticism HOWEVER , said criticism should be framed in such a way that they dont discourage the reviewer. I may not use markers the same way as you , but that doesnt matter. Just smile sweetly and tell them ( under your breath) to start walking, turn left, go through the gate, down the hill, across the beach and to walk into the sea until their hat floats 😂😂😂
@mewsli Same, constructive criticism is always helpful but when you're telling me I'm wrong because that not how you use a pen.. that irks me 😅
Just laughed out loud at the hat floating! Maybe I'll reply to negative comments with just "I hope your hat floats" and then only you and me will know what I mean 😂
OMG Lily, I can't believe that you tested acrylic paint pens and pencils on WATERCOLOUR PAPER, don't you know anything 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤭 Clearly not! 🤣
The 120 Guangna are now....£51.35....so a nono for me....never mind....
@juicysuzie3 They'll go down... and when you compare them to the Arrtx set of 36 that are £40...
