Temu JIESO Oil Sticks: worth it?? | Mimi Bondi

I finally picked up a set of JIESO oil sticks from Temu after seeing them recommended by one of my favourite artists, and I was too curious not to try them. In this video, I unbox the set, make a few simple marks in my art journal, and share my first impressions while comparing them to oil pastels — which I recently learned never actually dry properly (something I honestly didn’t fully realise before!). This isn’t a technical review or a proper swatch test — just a relaxed first play and a chance to explore how these materials feel straight out of the box. I’m especially excited to see how they work layered over my acrylic paintings and whether they’ll help me create more expressive texture, painterly marks, and glowing details in my work. If you’ve been curious about oil sticks, oil pastels, or experimenting with new art materials, I hope this little creative test is helpful.
