Colorverse Colorvent: Day 14 - Pulsar Pulse |

[@Moonchiild000]

All of these blues are making me soooo happy, haha. I LOVE the color story in this box, though I can totally see how it isn't for everyone.

[@Tia-p5f]

Looks like it's going to be a blue Christmas! 😆

[@mydandeliondiaries]

😂😭 This made me laugh so much thank you!!

[@BookishMandy]

Especially if you bought the colorverse ink calendar!

[@jamessims9475]

i like this one 😊 the swatch is beautiful with all the different colors. the prettiest blue so far for me

[@pspadotto]

To be fair, a heavy sheener isn't really "basic" but I totally understand your frustration with this calendar. Only a few more sleeps left. 😊

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I may be harsh calling it "basic" but this color has clearly been done by several brands and there are 2 other inks we have gotten in this calendar alone that are so similar. Sigh. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

[@krys6461]

Heavy sheen is a special feature, usually, sorta, but in my experience blue that sheens red goes all the way back to blue ballpoints, the only color we were allowed to use in highschool. I think that's how this particular type of color gets considered basic even though we'd flip for it if it was a purple base with red sheen.

[@zjwilder]

first off, this is a GREAT video, i love to see an honest review! so often planner fandom is a neverending roll of positivity, and i get wanting to say nice things but we can be nice without actually lying, right? (that's what you did here) i do think it's a lovely color but you're not wrong that it's also the same as like half your blue collection, lol. i'm sorry youre frustrated, i would be too

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you! I always want to be honest, it helps no one if I'm not. The color is pretty and I will use it, I just really think that this calendar shouldn't have been marketed as a "holiday" thing. To me, holiday means joy, and this calendar has not brought me joy haha

[@sahrandipity]

I'm in the "looks like polar glow" camp. Too many inks look like it, but POLAR GLOW's the GOAT. 😝

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Polar Glow is the GOAT haha. I don't have a sample of it anymore but I think this ink is very similar.

[@sahrandipity]

@mydandeliondiaries I am sure it is from your comparison, since endless candy sea is, and you compared this to that! I really wanted Candy Sea to be different since I want one of those crazy endless bottles, but none of the inks has done it for me yet. They need more than 5 colors! Lol

[@loracharis6814]

Reminds me a bit of Diamine Polar Glow. Nice and writing and great for art. Nice ink but the disappointment of the total calendar overwhelms.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

It is a great dupe for polar glow. I will give the ink that it is pretty and legible and a great consistency. But for the calendar price I feel like I got the "random" sample bag at goulet and it's underwhelming.

[@Aneedanothaone]

I love this blue

[@AlongfortheThrill]

Booooo!! When I swatched it I same shit different day 😂 I don't even like blue inks!! I so feel you on all of this. Gosh I like day 24 so much it changed my opinion of the box, but it might just be me 😂

[@mydandeliondiaries]

This gives me hope 😭 I'm so sad with todays ink.

[@DebraDarkandTwisty]

💚💜

[@tortagialla]

I’m sorry you aren’t impressed by the calendar but granted they are glass and bigger bottles of ink so not necessary not worth the money. I think perhaps their first year, they still have to figure out what people really want in an advent. Some people love it all though, because they are lovely inks and great for standard writing.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I agree that the bigger bottles and the glass bottles are a win. But let me do some math really quick. (this is nothing against your comment, I think this is a great way to discuss what these advents have going for them) For the Colorverse calendar: asking price $180+tax with 24 glass bottles at 15ml each. Each bottle roughly worth $7.50, each ml of ink roughly 50 cents. For the Diamine calendar: asking price $120+tax with 24 plastic 12ml bottles and 1 30ml plastic bottle. Each bottle roughly $5 we will say just to make it easier, and each ml of ink roughly worth 37 cents. I am getting shimmers and sheen and crazy stuff in the diamine inkvent for 37cents a ml, and with colorverse I am getting standard everyday writing for 50cents a ml. I think for the price that colorvsere asked they should have included more of their higher priced inks like glistening or even shading/sheening. I will give the colorvent its grace that it has given some great standard inks that will be easily used year round and can be great in several pens, but for next year, unless this calendar has some more interesting things in the days to come, they wont be getting my money again.

[@tortagialla]

@ Thanks for sharing the math - that makes sense… it wasn’t as equal as I thought!

[@penemuel]

@@mydandeliondiariesThese are the 15ml bottles, not the tiny ones, so they retail at $15 each in the US (the tiny 5ml ones retail at $7). The full 24 bottle calendar would cost $360 at full bottle price, so we got it for a savings of $180. The Diamine 30ml bottles retail at $8, and we only get one of those. I’m not sure what the full retail price of their calendar would be because the tiny bottles we get aren’t available in other products, as far as I’m aware. However, if we go with the $5 you estimate, then the Diamine calendar full retail price would be $128, for a savings of $8.

[@cd3694]

I like it!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I'm so glad you like it! I think if this one doesn't get released as a full bottle there are lots of options for similar inks.

[@kristiw.1823]

I swear, at this point I'm making sure to watch your colorvwrse vids on my phone, so the ads roll and you get ANY money out of them that is possible. 😢😂 You took the hit for your community, but Colorverse kinda ensured their 2025 calendars won't sell well.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you! You don't have to do that though, I took a risk and I'm eating it. I can always get more inks that are fun if this calendar has nothing to offer me.

[@ProofByConundrum]

I agree! I really appreciate you sharing your honest responses with us. There's some value in the sharing, though the inks have been so-so. I'm already through it, since a friend wanted to start early and open each day together, and our responses were very similar to yours. Thank you for the videos!

[@LifeWithMidori]

Yeah I saw the spoilers earlier when it first launched. I was highly disappointed. I feel like the Diamine Calendar is better. ❤

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I have been enjoying the Diamine one a lot more. I'm still holding out hope that there will be some more variety in the days to come.

[@LifeWithMidori]

@@mydandeliondiaries I'm hoping for you too! 💚

[@leehardison7796]

This has made me so thankful I didn’t spend the money on this calendar 😢 I will be watching all the ads so you can hopefully recoop some of the money you spent on this back. I am so sad and frustrated with you!

[@umbrellaguns]

Theyre making it easy to pick the top inks to add to the permanent collection ha. I do not think there is much nuance to make them stand out between these 3 once in a pen.

[@karen1946-o4b]

Girl I feel your pain! If I were you, I will stop opening anymore and ask for a refund! Pay so much for the same inks over and over

[@deniseplasse5126]

Colorverse has dropped the bottle of ink this go round. I would have figured they would have had a much more interesting set so as to inspire next years purchase . However, I am finding I will not be interested in one next year if they continue. BORING! I already have 20 blue inks that have RED SHEEN!!!! UUGH😢

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Exactly! I feel the same. I'm really trying not to lose hope. I'm also desperately trying not to spoil the rest of the days for myself but it is getting tough.

[@salamaat]

The calendar is disappointing overall so just brace yourself. I am disappointed for you. It's basically Polar Glow.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I'm trying to stay positive. At least it is a color I will use and a color that is more fun since it has sheen.

[@wind-flower]

I mean, there are only so many colors so you can't really expect something totally groundbreaking every time, but still ... the variety in this calender really is a bit ... off.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I'm not really expecting anything "groundbreaking" but 3 blue/purple inks with sheen? really? They could've done a black ink with sheen and I would've been happier. For a collection with 24 inks I wouldn't expect to have 3 inks so similar all together. Its disappointing.

[@PenMaiden56]

So sorry you wasted your money Danielle.

[@BookishMandy]

I am so very sorry you spent your hard dollars on this calendar. It has been disappointing to watch for you.
