The Review: I received Princess and Fairy Colouring Book for review and this is the first adult colouring book I own. I’ve seen lots of people with adult colouring books and everyone always mentions how therapeutic and relaxing they are so I really couldn’t wait to try some myself and they’re completely right. 

This was an absolute pleasure to colour but it did take me at least 15 minutes to decide which page to try first and I take full responsibly for that – I’m such an indecisive person and it was honestly hard to pick because all of the pages looked amazing and had so much details. When I finally decided, the mermaid page, I honestly felt like a little kid again colouring in. I loved it so much when I was younger that stepping back into it was an amazing feeling. I admit, it’s not as easy as it was when I was younger because of the beautiful and intricate designs throughout the colouring book but that’s the whole point isn’t it? And it’s just so much fun and I was blown away by how much detail could be fit into each design. I loved that it's themed for some of my favourite fairy tales/princesses. 

What I love is that you can decorate each page to completely your own tastes – they’re no rules – it’s completely your choice. Me, I like lighter colours so pinks, purples, light blues, light greens are always a win for me and they really were the perfect choice for my chosen design. I’m about halfway through my page right now and I can easily see myself lost in hours and hours of fun through this whole book. I also noticed the quality of the book pages which are fantastic. You’ll have no problem using felt tip pens, colouring pencils or a fine pen. I went with fine tipped pen as I already had some lovely colours and I knew they would go perfectly with these designs.  

I have no complaints about The Princess and Fairy Colouring Book whatsoever! And this was definitely the right choice of book for my first time enjoying an adult colouring book.

Thank you to Pavilion for giving me the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an honest review.
