Judy, in my wife's post you said

In that case, I would say it all depends entirely on the quality of the pastel. If you don't care about its quality and just want the "pastel gene" then I guess you just look for the cheapest price you can find. But if it were me personally, I wouldn't buy any pastel without guidance from someone I trust who is very experienced in judging high quality pastels.
So, I am asking for some advice from some of you pastel pros. The following 3 females are avaible (each around 200 grams), each for $375 plus shipping -

#1


#2


#3


And the following 2 are available (each around 100 grams), either for $550 shipped -

#1


#2



I am far from a pastel expert, so any input anyone could give us on these would be helpful. I do not have an image of the other option, that my wife originally asked about, since I am at work - but I will see if she can put up a pic.

Thanks for any advice!
