Choosing between two very different kinds of art supplies comes down to one question: do you need tools that help you create, or do you need a case to carry what you already own? The Spectrum Noir 12-Piece Pencil Blending Kit and the Kipling Women's Gitroy Pencil Case both belong in a creative workspace, but they solve different problems. One is a blending tool set; the other is an organizer. Here's how to pick the one that matches your next art project.
Quick verdict
If your kit is missing blending stumps, sharpener, and a soft eraser, the Spectrum Noir set gives you the essential tools at a lower listed price. If your priority is a carry-friendly case that can hold pencils, brushes, or makeup, the Kipling Gitroy is the practical choice for organization.

Where each product wins
- Spectrum Noir wins for actual pencil blending. The 12-piece kit includes blending stumps, sketch pencils, a sharpener, soft eraser, and stump sander, so it is a complete add-on to a colored-pencil workspace.
- Kipling wins for flexible organization. The Gitroy case can hold art supplies, accessories, and makeup, making it a better everyday carry item for tools you already own.
Product notes
Spectrum Noir Accessories 12-Piece Pencil Blending Kit
Choose this kit if the missing pieces in your pencil setup are blending stumps and sketching pencils. The 12-piece set bundles a soft eraser, pencil sharpener, blending stumps, sketch pencils, a stump sander, and a zippered black storage wallet, so it covers the basics for working with Spectrum Noir colored pencils. The zippered wallet gives you a place to keep everything together when the kit is not in use. The trade-off is that this is a purpose-built blending-kit set rather than a general organizer; if your priority is holding a mix of markers, makeup, or loose supplies, the Spectrum Noir wallet is more limited.
Kipling Women's Gitroy Pencil Case
Go with the Gitroy if you want a portable home for art supplies, accessories, or makeup. The case is made with a nylon exterior and a recycled-polyester interior, and it comes in Vip Purple with a One Size design, so it works as a catch-all in a bag or on a desk. Being sold new with tags gives it a ready-to-give or ready-to-use feel. If you tend to carry supplies around, the Gitroy keeps loose pieces in one place. Since it is an organizer rather than a tool kit, it pairs best with supplies you already have.
Final choice by use case
If most of your art time is spent layering and blending colored pencils, the Spectrum Noir 12-Piece Pencil Blending Kit is the more useful choice. If you already have the supplies and simply need a case to keep them together, the Kipling Women's Gitroy Pencil Case is the better fit.
