I reviewed their colored pencils as well here:    • Soft Like Prismacolor (but MUCH cheap...  

I have also tried their various papers, I like the watercolor and mixed media pads but I did not like their drawing paper. You can see all the product they offer here: https://amzn.to/48b7fep

Pros:
Colors dissolved very easily, even with a soft brush
3.5mm leads
Nice color variety
Colors mix well
Soft and easy to lay down
Low price

Cons:
Not available open stock
No lightfastness info

Bottom line: I was very impressed with the color payout and softness of these pencils when compared to the Faber Castell, Derwent and Caran D'asche pencils I owned. If you also have the colored pencils by this brand you will need to be careful not to mix them up because they look very similar. These are a good quality product at an affordable price.
