so for today's video it's gonna be a little bit different than my normal content consider today's
video a part two or a continuation of last week's video and if you didn't see last week's video
before we even begin to get into it i highly encourage you to watch that video that way you
guys can get caught up about the whole gist of this week's video that way you can get all the
scoop and know all the little extra information involved and just to sum up very lightly last
week's video if you didn't watch it i had the opportunity to test out these two thousand dollar
louis vuitton watercolor paints and it didn't come as a surprise to me that these paints in my
opinion were definitely not worth the two thousand dollars that i spent on them because i have tested
out other high-end fashion brand art supplies in the past like the gucci pencils the other
louis vuitton pencils you know other things like that and all of those r supplies were definitely
nowhere near in my opinion worth what they were selling for so low quality on these
wasn't a surprise but what was a surprise to me is that when the video went live i started getting
comment after comment after comment after comment of different people telling me that
these two thousand dollar louis vuitton watercolors that they look oddly similar
to the brand the sennelier's la petite aqua whale 12-pack watercolor and in the past when i reviewed
the louis vuitton art supplies i was never able to i guess technically prove that louis vuitton
themselves didn't make the art supplies but i kind of theorized and speculated that louis
vuitton probably bought an existing art supply company's colored pencils and just slapped their
name on it but after seeing all those comments of people saying that they look very oddly similar of
course what is the girl to do other than buy the exact product and so today for the first time on
my channel i am going to be comparing what me and a lot of my audience members think might be
the original art supply that this one came from this entire video is gonna be all about
why these two thousand dollar louis vuitton watercolor pencils are not worth the price and
you guys know i always try my best on this channel to let you guys know what i think
is a good deal which is specifically why i chose search shark vpn to sponsor this video if you
don't know what a vpn is and just how important it is to have one i'll explain that now it's an app
slash web browser extension that's main function is to keep you safe it encrypts and basically puts

you're on public wi-fi you're out getting a coffee you're looking at your bills even just like on
social media uploading pictures and stuff like that no one will be able to steal your data as you
guys know i don't leave my house ever so i like to use my vpn a lot for the fun aspects that it also
comes with for example if you're looking for a specific show or music video or movie or whatever
you can get on your streaming service change your location to another country log back onto
the streaming service website and bam you have the entire collection of that country's available
streaming options or even if you're traveling and you need to have access to a certain money app
that's not available in whatever country you're in you can use surfsharkvpn log into the app and have
access to those websites that are not available in that country you can use surfsharkvpn on unlimited
devices they're the only vpn that's giving my audience an eighty-three percent discount
plus three free months with the code ray dizzle that comes out to a grand total of less than two
dollars and fifty cents a month definitely go check it out there is absolutely no downside to
having a vpn click the link in the description to get 83 off three extra months and antivirus free
and of course to support them and support me so yeah click that link down below check them out and
speaking of statistics the matter first up is the two thousand dollar louis vuitton watercolor paint
set so according to the website and again last video inside of this is ten different paints each
tube is .33 fluid ounces it comes with a brush it comes in its own clear acrylic plastic case and
louis vuitton came out with this for their spring summer 2022 collection and if you guys remember
the actual price wasn't exactly 2 000 the actual accurate price including shipping was around one
thousand nine hundred dollars so it was a little bit cheaper not much cheaper but it was a little
bit cheaper than the two thousand dollars which i've been basically rounding it up to and for
the cenolire watercolor paints these are a pack of 12 instead of 10. they also come with 0.33 fluid
ounces it also comes with a plastic case except this plastic case it's a little bit more practical
than the louis vuitton one as you guys can see it has plenty of different slots where you can add in
the water add in the paint mix it up it looks like it's gonna be a lot thicker and a lot more hearty
than just like this clear acrylic it comes with one watercolor brush and apparently it also comes
with a little hand thing that you can like slip your hand into to hold the paint which i think is
really nice and the total price of these paints on amazon with amazon prime free shipping comes out
to 34.91 making the grand price difference between these two paints a whopping 1868 and 10 cents
so right off the bat if these really are just these in disguise i'm gonna be so disappointed
not even disappointed i'm gonna be so sad because i literally spent so much money on these stupid
things in fact i'm secretly kind of rooting that these aren't the same as these because in my heart
i want to believe that i didn't just buy this exact thing repackaged you know what i'm saying
so let's go ahead and unbox these and see what the packaging comparisons look like
um wow first of all my very first initial instinct is that these look uncomfortably similar like if
you look just at the packaging alone just like these two colors of red the black top is the exact
same it looks like the aluminum wrapped around it is the exact same they're the exact same size and
even if you look at like the very tips of these two watercolors like even the way that the little
tubie thingy was bent is the exact same wow that is quite uncomfortable so whenever you
turn these two around if you look really closely at the font where it says made in france you'll
notice that that is the exact same font okay things are getting a little creepy here and if
you look even closer where it says 10 milliliters 0.33 fluid ounces that is the exact same not just
font but placement as well and to make this even a little bit creepier if you look at the i want
to say it's the pigment number on the very back of both of these it's the exact same emb22278j
so right off the bat i feel like that right there is like confirmation i feel like we could just
stop this video here but we're gonna keep going i'm going to talk about the brush but i lost the
brush oh well that's a 2 000 brush i just lost now the packaging is obviously quite different
on it i actually if i had a chance to pick which packaging i like more obviously i'm going to go
with this one even though it's 1800 cheaper it's drastically in my opinion better quality
it looks like it's made for artists it has 13 little areas where you can mix
paint put your water mix up your colors water it down this little guy seems very very handy
and from earlier the coolest thing that i've ever seen on an american palette is this
now the center layer color selection it looks very very very very similar to the louis vuitton one at
least the wrapping around it does i don't know if the outside is the exact same on the inside and
look how unique these two colors are neon green that's not something that you would typically see
in every single watercolor palette in fact the color selection for these two paints they're so
similar that i can actually i think color match every single paint in this louis vuitton one
did okay so i just got done with the swatches and i knew
that they were going to be similar i just didn't anticipate them to be
this similar i mean louis vuitton they literally just went in the factory
they didn't even bother like customizing the colors or anything they just went in
picked up the student grade palette and was like yep we're gonna sell those exact same thing like
i knew they would pick the standard colors like red brown blue you know all the normal ones but i
thought they would pick maybe different shades of the primary colors but no they they really didn't
it feels like they didn't even try because these are literally the exact same paints okay exact
same now besides these ones that are completely identical there was one difference and that is
that these la petite aquarelle they're not a 10-pack like the louis vuitton ones they're
actually like i mentioned earlier a 12-pack and those two colors included a really beautiful
yellow ochre which is one of my favorite paint colors and it also came with a titanium watch
and the center palette didn't come with a black color in place of that it came with a payne's
gray and if you don't know what payne's gray is it's one of my all-time favorite paint colors
oh it is so good by the way the the black that the louis vuitton came with it really was not
pigmented at all it didn't even look like a black color it looked kind of like a washed
out gray color so i wasn't too pleased with that so anyway now this leads me to the next section
of this video which is the drawing portion because i want to see like just how different these paints
are if there's any differences at all so i'm going to draw the exact same thing two different times
for me
so i just got done with the drawing part of the video and first of all i just gotta say that i'm
very impressed that i was able to get them to look so similar i feel like that was an accomplishment
all on its own but yeah actually working with these these each took about an hour and a half
to two hours each to do and honestly when it came to the differences i don't think there was
a difference at all both of these paints they work the exact same the colors on most of them were the
exact same in fact by the time i did the second one i already had so much experience working with
it that i knew exactly how the paint was gonna work it was just so predictable and yeah i feel
like at this point i mean what test is there left to do because i feel like it's pretty clear that
louis vuitton and centilier this is literally the same paint i mean everything about it is just so
similar like we got the same packaging we got the same colors we got the same text on the background
we even got the same font everything about these paints are just so similar except the 30 one has
better packaging and more colors and it's kind of frustrating for my wallet specifically because the
markup for these louis vuitton ones even though they're the exact same paint according to my
calculator the markup is that these are 63 times more expensive so i guess what i have to say for
my final thoughts is that don't buy louis vuitton but on a serious note i've bought other louis
vuitton art supplies in the past and unless they bring out something really dramatic i don't think
that i will ever be buying another louis vuitton art supply ever again because as we've seen
this is not the first this is not the second but this is the fourth time that i tried out one of
their products and it's just so expensive for what it is i'm not saying it's a scam i'm not saying
that they're lying to you it's just absolutely not worth the money and i think that this comparison
of these two paints was definitely like the ultimate test just demonstrating how it's just
such a waste of money so yeah all in all i'm gonna rate these louis vuitton watercolors especially
now that i know that they're worth literally only 30 bucks i'm gonna rate them a huge fat zero
