I must say, I really like the Colorvent ink selection. It’s much more subtle and practical than Inkvent. I do enjoy wild inks that wow you with shimmer and sheen, but I’ve seen people complain about Diamine including too many shimmer inks, which can be impractical and hard to use. So I guess maybe Colorverse was aiming to differentiate themselves instead of trying to be an Inkvent copycat? In any case, between the two calendars I will have a huge array of interesting colors to play with in 2025!
I am glad they were so different between all the properties, but I think for the price that is where the disappointment really comes in. But you are right! Regardless there are lots of new inks to play with for 2025!
Yay, a dull standard blurple-- thanks for this super festive ink, Colorvent. Seriously, we've been had. Never again. One hundred and eighty bucks dollars for this box of daily holiday sadness!
The Diamine calendar is so worth it to me because you get a surprise very day, and NEW colors/shimmers/sheens most of the time. With this calendar being almost double the price, I am shocked at how little variety we got.
I look forward to your opinionated long form video about this calendar! Though I'm also sorry it was not what you expected. I'm feeling a bit like that with the diamine inkvent one.. I might do the ones my Canadian fountain pen group does next year. Maybe diamine if I can afford it.
This color is pretty. Maybe not a WOW ink day, but both colors you got today are legible and good for daily writing. This one looks so serene on the page. It really is lovely. Maybe if it would have been the FIRST blue ink in the calendar you would have loved it more. 😂
I have had the exact same feelings about that calendar, just too many blues and grays, even my companion who isn't in the FP hobby was shocked by the lack of variety in the calendar. I personnally would never buy a 180$ colorvent again, I kinda feel robbed to be honest. I love Colorverse products, but their advent calendar is going to be a big no no in the future
I don't think I am going to be purchase another one for $180. It was WAY overpriced for what we got. If it had been $100 less I think it would be worth it.
I am sorry, but I laughed at loud at your reaction. And I sorely needed a laugh, so thank you. And if I am not mistaken, Diamine's has an ink for Christmas Day and the window looks a bit bigger.......does Colorverse only go to Christmas Eve???
I'm glad I could help you laugh! This ink was not at all what I expected. Yes, colorverse stops on the 24th (Christmas Eve) and Diamine has a 30ml bottle for the 25th (Christmas Day). I'm REALLY hoping for anything other than blue tomorrow 😅
What are the odds that tomorrow is a dark sheening blurple?? I think this one is very pretty in writing, too. It's not necessarily something I would get a whole bottle of (I'm not as big on blue inks as I probably should be) but it was super pretty in your whole page sample!
LORT ANOTHER BLUE! 😂😂 I bout flipped the table. Not really, just being dramatic 😅😂 Did they make this for Brian Goulet?? Like damn! Promise tomorrow is not a blue. It's my second favorite/neck to neck for my favorite of the whole box!
😂😂😂 Don't bring Brian into this! hahaha 😂😂😂 I'm so glad to know tomorrow is not a blue. I really would cry and maybe break something? Idk. At least this blue is calming to look at 😂😂
ok I have not commented since my extremely rude "glad I didn't buy it/booooring" post very early on. I am sorry for that by the way Danielle 💙 hehe - blueheart 🤭 Now I think I would be allowed to make the same comment. I honestly think Colorverse has done a lot to lower their reputation with this. They make nice quality but very expensive inks, this is a heap of standard blue/grey/red/occasional other inks that have nothing to make them stand out. I LOVE the DIamine calendar - I don't like most sheen inks but the entire thing is fun with differing inks each day. Many people don't like the alot of shimmer or whatever, but it is a holiday calendar !! It is not predictable (& it is half the price of the other). Looking forward to your opinion video 💚💜
I am SHOCKED at how blue heavy and standard this calendar was. They really got peoples money for this. I think next year their sales will be lower for sure...
I was on Instagram early and saw todays color and knew you'd be disappointed when you saw it's yet another blue. Why not at least make a glistening ink?? I don't know what ColorVerse was thinking
If it had been glistening it would be so beautiful 😅 I will likely be experimenting with a lot of these colorverse inks. I would love to have a conversation with the team who created this calendar haha, maybe they had Blue Christmas on repeat when creating it 😂😂😂
I agree with you. I don't want to spend my money on something like this again...it needs to be marketed different. Not a holiday calendar, more like an office safe calendar.
@@mydandeliondiaries Not just office safe. I’m very new to this. I have such a big list of I want. Mostly with your help. I had so many of theirs listed. I deleted them. Had I spent the money, I’d feel taken advantage of. Like…. Let’s sell this box this expensive, because our inks are expensive anyway, but give the “cheapest ink”. For that price, they should be giving the inks that they are most known for.
I am really disappointed with the Colorverse Colorvent. I wanted something new after buying the Diamine Invent the last few years. This was not worth it in my opinion. Such a boring selection and so many blues!
I agree that this calendar was not worth the price. On the positive side, most of the inks can at least be used as every day writing. Really a shame though we got ANOTHER blue.
It's The Divine Comedy! LOL! The whole calendar is just them trolling us.
😂😂😂This made me laugh!

Hahaha not the holiday sadness!! It is a bit blah...but at least it is usable!
The swatch card of this one does look great as dark cosmic cloudy.
I could not believe this was another blue! It's really nice, but yeah, there have been waaaaay too many.
I completely agree!
Even though I love blue and I love blue inks, I'm glad I saved the $100 and went with the Diamine Inkvent calendar instead
The Diamine calendar is so worth it to me because you get a surprise very day, and NEW colors/shimmers/sheens most of the time. With this calendar being almost double the price, I am shocked at how little variety we got.
OMG another blue??? HOLY!!!
....sigh. Yep. At least it is a pretty blue.
I look forward to your opinionated long form video about this calendar! Though I'm also sorry it was not what you expected. I'm feeling a bit like that with the diamine inkvent one.. I might do the ones my Canadian fountain pen group does next year. Maybe diamine if I can afford it.
I'm just utterly shocked at how many blues. I'd be really curious to have a conversation with the development team of this calendar haha
I am such a blue ink lover but I can understand your frustration 😭
It’s a very lovely colour and looks great in the writing sample. But. Another from the blue family, gah!!!!!
Right??? Just wow.
This color is pretty. Maybe not a WOW ink day, but both colors you got today are legible and good for daily writing. This one looks so serene on the page. It really is lovely. Maybe if it would have been the FIRST blue ink in the calendar you would have loved it more. 😂
It is a really nice soft blue, and very legible. I'm just shocked that almost half the inks in this calendar are in the blue family.
@ I agree. Too much blue!

I would've let out a 'gonna cry' laugh too 😂
😂 Yeah....I struggled to express myself with this one haha. At least it is pretty to write with.

I will cry if that is tomorrow's ink. Anything but blue/purple please!! At least this one is soft and pretty to write with.

@@mydandeliondiaries that's why they did it!!🤣🤣
man you should really make a tally now yikes
BPC - Celestial Blue
Deatramentis - Document Blue
FWP - Harlequin Dream
.....It is too many for me to want to tally haha

Glad you liked it in the end. I know what you mean. Blue overkill really

This is such a Marketing FAIL! So much money. I’m thinking not even 1/4 of sales for next year.
I agree with you. I don't want to spend my money on something like this again...it needs to be marketed different. Not a holiday calendar, more like an office safe calendar.

Colorverse should never have used the word “inspired” in this calendar. There is nothing inspiring about these inks at all.
You nailed it! Perfect summary .
