I have wanted this travel palette forever and when I found it on amazon for a great price I snagged it. I figured it was worth it just for the palette and I could add my favorite paint. This is also available in the Winsor & Newton Professional paint as well.

*Let me preface this review with the fact that I got this set so cheap I was OK with buying it just for the palette (and I'm glad I did)
Pros:
The travel palette is mostly awesome and well made
Cons:
The color selection was lackluster and not great if you have a limited palette, I feel key colors were left out and replaced with cheaper colors that were not as useful.
I really dislike the included travel brush.
The thumb ring on the back will likely break.
Bottom line: I love the palette itself and really only bought it for the palette. I have lots of tube paint and I can fill it with what I want but if you don't have lots of tube colors and you can pay a bit more I would go for the pro one. the paint quality is better and the colors are more useful (useful but not perfect.) I don't recommend this set for mixing as the colors are weak and dull but I think this set (brush and all) would work well projects such as cardmaking, scrapbooking, bible journaling or anything you want to add color to unsized paper as the suryp consistency of the paint is actually better on those surfaces than higher quality watercolors. I don't mean to criticize this paint to harshly but the selection of colors is not the best and would frustrate many painters. Of course, this is only my opinion.
