Description
Rs. 650 for twelve soft pastels is the lowest entry price on our pastel shelf, and that is the honest reason to buy this box: it is the cheapest way to find out whether you actually like the medium. Soft pastel is not for everyone. It is dusty, it will not hold a fine line, and it demands paper with tooth. Discovering that costs Rs. 650 here rather than Rs. 1,400 with the full-size Mungyo box.
Per stick it works out to Rs. 54.17. Our yellow-box Mungyo Half Soft Pastels 12-set is Rs. 700, or Rs. 58.33, so this undercuts it slightly; the blue-box full-size Mungyo 12 is Rs. 1,400, more than double. What Mungyo has that this does not is reach — its ranges run to 48 and 64 colours, while this box stops at twelve.
The box is unmistakable on a shelf: brown and orange with a desert scene and camels across the front, and a window strip showing the twelve colours stacked. It prints KeepSmiling®, Soft PASTELS, then the maker's own three lines — Vibrant colours, Soft chalky texture and Superb colour blending — with 12 COLOURS at the foot. Soft chalky texture is a fair description rather than a boast, and it is the honest signal that these behave like chalk pastels rather than like an oil pastel or a crayon.
Inside, the sticks are square in section and seated in a fitted black tray, which is what keeps a set of soft pastels from arriving as twelve broken halves. Square sticks give you a flat face for laying broad colour and a corner for edges — the same format as the Cretacolor and Sakura sticks we sell, at a fraction of the price.
A word on what soft pastel needs. It has to be worked on a textured sheet, blended with a finger or a paper stump rather than a brush, and a finished picture has to be fixed with a spray or framed under glass or it will smudge. None of that is a fault of this particular box — it is simply what the medium is.
It suits students from about 10 years up. The Safencia price is Rs. 650 with Cash on Delivery across Pakistan. Stock, your city, and delivery charges are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch.

FAQs
Is the Keep Smiling Soft Pastels Set of 12 good for a beginner?
It is the sensible first box. Keep Smiling Soft Pastels Set of 12 costs Rs. 650, so if you find the dust and the smudging are not for you, the lesson has been cheap.
How does it compare with your Mungyo pastels?
On price it wins narrowly at Rs. 54.17 a stick against Rs. 58.33 for the Mungyo mini twelve. What Mungyo offers that Keep Smiling Soft Pastels Set of 12 does not is range — its boxes go up to 48 and 64 colours.
Are these chalk pastels or oil pastels?
Chalk. The box for Keep Smiling Soft Pastels Set of 12 prints Soft chalky texture, which is the honest signal — they crumble to powder and blend by finger, unlike oil pastels which stay waxy.
What paper do I need?
Something with tooth. Keep Smiling Soft Pastels Set of 12 needs a textured sheet for the powder to grip; on smooth copier paper the colour will simply sit on top and lift off.
How do I stop a finished picture smudging?
Fix it or frame it. Work made with Keep Smiling Soft Pastels Set of 12 stays as loose pigment on the surface, so it needs a fixative spray or glass over it before it is handled or stacked.
Do twelve colours limit what I can do?
They limit close tonal shading more than they limit hue, because pastel is blended on the paper rather than mixed on a palette. Keep Smiling Soft Pastels Set of 12 is enough to learn on, and a larger set is the natural next step.
Will the sticks arrive broken?
They are seated in a fitted black tray, which is what protects them in transit. Even so, a broken stick of Keep Smiling Soft Pastels Set of 12 works perfectly well — pastel is used in pieces as often as whole.
Can I pay cash on delivery for Keep Smiling Soft Pastels in Pakistan?
Yes. Cash on Delivery is available across Pakistan, including Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and many other cities.
How fast is delivery in Pakistan?
Orders are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch. Delivery usually takes 3-5 working days in major Pakistani cities, depending on courier route and city.
