You're reviews are so great because you ACTUALLY reviews as opposed to SO many YT "reviews! who doesn't break down anything, and basically just shows the product and maybe some use. Your real reviews are actually helpful. That's what you get for not being sponsored and claiming that they are reviews. I love your policy about these things! It's actually honest and helpful to your viewers. Keep up the great work Cindy!

Ueah, that was me. :) I stumbled on the whole brand by accident and have been ho'ing for them ever since. However, you're right about the breakdown. I'm not overly heavy-handed, but they get a bit scritchy after extended use. It rebounds ok after a rest, but once they go scritchy, they go back to scritchy pdq.

You could use a piece of tape or something to fold over each page you have a swatch on. Like a little page marker. Something that doesn't stick out more but makes it stand out more. I hope that made sense, I still have morning brain.

You could have a collection in each bullet journal (so it would be one that gets moved), that indexes all of the swatch spreads! Which journal they're in and on what page, for what set of markers/pens. Then you can easily find each set of swatches even if they aren't in one notebook.

I just bought the Scribble Stuff felt tip 24-pack from Walmart and the colors looked really similar to your Flair swatch page, so I pulled them out and swatched to check during this video and - yup, also a straight dupe of the color selection lol! I did notice though that a lot of the colors match more closely - the Scribble Stuff pens don't have the saturation differences some of the Amazon Basics do. I was going back and forth between the two, but I think I made the right choice.

I stopped using Flairs years ago when they put that stupid plastic guard on the tip of the pen. They used to be a large tip and you could use just the tip or the side of the pen. I don't understand why they changed them, but the whole feel was different and I really dislike them now.
