Coloursoft vs whsmith colouring pencils

I love both of these products but which is better ?

Is it worth the price you pay for 'quality' coloured pencils.

I did several trails and this is what I found out:

Coloursoft

• The durability is awarded 3 out of five stars 

• If your not careful they break inside and every time you sharpen them they break(happens with most coloured pencils)this may also be to do with not using a good quality sharpener or to do with the waxiness of the coloured pencils 

• Sometimes they smudge

  When i first got the coloursoft pencils I go the skin tone pack and because I loved them so much I got the 24 pack for Christmas.when I bought the whsmith coloured pencils I was on holiday . I already new how good they were because that's what my grandma used them and so did I when I go over.

I think they are both really good colouring pencils but if you do not want a waxy sort of pencil or you are on a budget I definatly recommend you get your self the pack of 36 whsmith colouring pencils .
