Colorverse Colorvent Finale! ALL THE INKS and some thoughts....

[@aleahromer1081]

⭐You know I followed that QR code and voted for Eclipse Silence, Milky Way, and A Christmas Star. This has been a wonderful journey with you, I think you definitely deserve a break from posting 2 (!) daily videos for so long, but I have so enjoyed making you part of my morning tea routine. Thank you so much!

[@alissafast]

⭐️ I agree, too many blues for the price. Loved your daily videos, Danielle! The standards are ok but “holiday” implies more festive inks in brighter colors and shimmer! Merry Christmas!!!🎄

[@elliekennedyy]

⭐️🌠 seeing the writing side by side was so eye opening 😭. It was really fun to watch you open them though!!

[@Morgan-fv6cv]

⭐️As a blue grey, grey blue, bluish-grey lover I share a lot of your feelings because I also just love special properties and this feels like such a missed opportunity for some cool shading and shimmering inks. I hope you at least get to keep your few favorites from this calendar!

[@tinagrobichaud]

⭐️ as a beginner ink follower and experimenter, this was so fun to follow along and learn with your reactions. I really appreciated you taking one for the team. 😊

[@goodteamorning]

⭐ Thank you Danielle for your commitment in sharing your thoughts on the Colorverse colorvent! Love your swatches! Happy Holidays!!

[@janinescribbles6276]

🌟 Thank you for your commitment to the inkmas advent calendars! Super entertaining!

[@roxiesossa3210]

⭐Hey Danielle! I appreciate your commitment to this calendar when I know there were times you were bracing yourself & taking deep breaths; yet, you got through it with your usual grace. It's crazy how similar some of these inks were in writing! And really, that's where it counts for most of us, right?! As far as voting for the top 3 - haven't had a chance to vote yet but I'll vote for Milky Way, Christmas Star because they were the most Christmasy to me I guess. Hmmm...🤔 Rover's not exactly Christmasy but it looks interesting and it's got the shimmer which is nice so for a Christmas collection, those might be the only ones I'd vote for. 😂 All that said, it's been fun watching both your videos every morning while getting ready for work. Thank you for your content and Happy Christmas! 💜🎄💜

[@polishedinbrooklyn7401]

⭐️ So sad that the calendar didn’t have a bigger variety of colors. Loved Milky Way! So pretty!

[@InkyGardener]

🌟 You have been a joy to watch these last few weeks. The daily Inkvent swatching videos were highly anticipated each morning. Truly hope Colorverse watched your videos, will take notes, and do better next year. The only two that I would consider buying a bottle would be Eclipse Silence and Milky Way. Thank you so much and Happy holidays 🎁🎄

[@dianadelgado6297]

🌟 Thanks for all the videos! I really liked to hear your opinion on the inks. Hope you enjoy the Holidays!

[@a_lion_and_a_whale]

[Star] Thank you for all the Colorvent videos, I had a blast watching them!

[@xyzetc1150]

⭐️Thank you so much for doing this - I hope it wasn't too much of a hit on your advent season because it was such a glorious addition to mine - and clearly a lot of other people feel the same. Completely agree with your thoughts on this calendar. Happy Christmas everyone!

[@zurettestassen5314]

⭐️ This was so much fun to watch! Thank you for sharing. I am still fairly new to fountain pens and ink, and this was very helpful and informative.

[@jliudc]

⭐️⭐️ what a journey!! Thanks for letting me get that serotonin hit by opening them each day!! Solid review too!!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@adarkunicorn]

⭐️ as a fountain pen/ink newbie this has been super exciting and informative! thank you!

[@DanZilla9000]

⭐ I enjoyed following you along the journey of this Advent calendar. I'm fairly new to Fountain Pens and Inks and, as such, any opportunity to see the variety out there is valuable to me.

[@kriscramer]

⭐ Thank you so much for your Inkvent and Colorvent videos! I loved watching them and hearing your truly genuine reactions to each ink, through the ups and downs and the excitement and disappointment from day to day.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you for watching! I am glad you enjoyed the ups and downs of this adventure. It was not at all what I expected for this calendar haha

[@Aneedanothaone]

⭐️ always enjoy your swatch videos. Thank you

[@lilpriestess]

⭐️ 🌟 thank you for the swatches. And the flip through… I am now hunting down all your ink videos 😊

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I'm working on more ink content coming soon ;).

[@linhnguyens1]

🌟🌟 Thank you for your review of this calendar! I know it may have been a struggle, but you got through it, and at least there were a few winners 😊

[@LovealwaysSunny]

⭐️ I loved watching your daily videos. I'll miss these but it was a wonderful countdown to Christmas! Thank you for all these videos and everything else you do. Merry Christmas. 🎄

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Merry Christmas! 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed inkmas!

[@nicekaren3397]

⭐ I love your ink videos! So relaxing. Be blessed yourself!

[@Nom-Noms]

⭐️ Thank you for this inky journey. 🖋️

[@scuffguardian]

⭐this is the first time having followed something like this. sure, it's a bit of a mixed bag, but the ones that stood out really do! appreciate you going through the calendar. I'm curious how next year's calendar will go...

[@Katiefay]

⭐️ I loved your series I don’t even have any inks like this but have been interested in the hobby, I think this calendar is great for someone new in the hobby

[@artpherr]

⭐ I am sorry you struggled with this calendar, but I appreciate these videos and looked forward to them everyday.

[@Flashy.Colors]

Enjoyed so much all your videos and ink comparisons with the other ones you have, thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@mydandeliondiaries]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed them! 😊

[@Stitchxavi]

🌟 I’ve so enjoyed watching these every day. Your reflections on the ink qualities are such a lovely way to start each day!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you Xavi!! I'm so glad you enjoyed inkmas so far 😊

[@GreenTea-i7d]

⭐ Loved this series of seeing each Colorvent-Inkvent ink and especially the writing samples and your analysis of the properties and flow. Very helpful and entertaining. Thanks for the generous holiday giveaway!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I'm so glad you enjoyed inkmas! It was a fun time for me too :)

[@quantum_coach]

⭐️ I looove this path of reviewing the inks calendars! Thank you!

[@heatherstanley2610]

⭐️ thanks for doing the daily swatching - I looked forward to it every day as part of my Christmasy routine.

[@Tbear5777]

⭐️ [Star] I enjoyed watching this “Inkvent”, thanks for giving us your time. 🎁

[@FranM6179]

⭐️ Thank you for doing these videos.

[@jeanlovestea]

⭐Thanks for sharing these inks with us. There were some very pretty inks, but definitely too many of them looked almost indistinguishable in the writing samples. I love that a lot of inks show really cool properties in the swatches, but at the end of the day, what really matters is how they write.

[@BoiseShan]

⭐Beautiful! And such a generous giveaway!

[@DebraDarkandTwisty]

⭐ thank you Danielle 🤩

[@kristinafish2393]

⭐️ What a wonderful giveaway! I couldn’t get my hands on this calendar so this is a second best. ❤

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Best of luck!! :)

[@discoveringj7926]

⭐️ very exciting giveaway thanks for the opportunity! Been following the inkvent/colourvent everyday, was a fun to see the different inks that came in each one. Definitely with you on this one having sooo many blues!

[@pherranine]

enjoyed binging these ⭐️

[@briwinter5098]

🌟 I really enjoyed watching your videos each day of December. As I only bought the Diamine InkVent it was fun to see what I was missing. Some of the ColorVent inks are really nice inks but they were probably not as festive as the Diamine ones. I am quite content now that I did not spend that much money to have a second calendar. I told myself one is more than enough. As you are mainly buying the experience when you buy an advent calendar one is enough for me. And I really celebrated one ink each day! 🥰

[@AmberUnfinished]

⭐️. How very generous!! 🎉

[@tonya1592]

🌟I have enjoyed all your advent ink videos and have been opening my diamine inkvent calendar with you! I didn’t get the colorverse calender. Thanks for all the time you put into these videos!!

[@rachelsmith4654]

🌟Danielle, thank you SO much for your ink/colorvent videos, and all your videos this year! As a newbie, I’ve enjoyed them so much - and learnt alot! Thank you again. Wishing you and you’re family a very happy Christmas ❤💕❤️

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you so much! Have a Merry Christmas Rachel!!

[@ryangrace8576]

*Star* - cool run through of all inks!

[@jayc4530]

🌠 I had trouble finding the star emoji, so I used the star in a picture frame one. 😅 I loved this series! Thank you for taking one for the team with Colorverse. 💕

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the series! I appreciate you watching!

[@umbrellaguns]

⭐Thank you for the meticulous look at this calendar! I enjoyed waking up each day to experience it with you even if feelings ranged from rare excitement and frequent disappointment.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

It was not what I expected for this calendar, but there are a lot of usable inks so I am grateful for that :)

[@GuitarJeff]

⭐ So you know, I was thinking about this advent calendar. So I bought a couple early Diamine Advent Calendars, going on 4 years later I still have most of those inks stuffed away unused. If I just didn't throw them away outright. I enjoy watching people opening the diamine advent calendars, and go that's a cool ink, but I would never use it ever. I do that watching you also on the diamine ones. I do like watching you open them, maybe the joy you find in them, I like seeing them. I would just never put most of those inks in a pen. So for me buying Diamine advent for $120 to get maybe 3-4 usable inks or the Colorverse to get 12-15 usable inks. I also have never bought a Colorverse ink just cause again I would never use them they are just know for all the shimmer so I tend to ignore them. Then this calendar, I am sad I missed out on this, so many of these I would totally use. I am the target audience I think for this calendar. It is a change from the norm for them I guess to have so many usable inks. I do understand all the inks out there and various people that use them. I am not an artist in any way, I just use fountain pens for bullet journaling and business writing. Bullet journaling I do not do any wild or colorful spreads. Keep it simple and understandable. But I do like variation in inks, so like all those different blues you said were similar, they are all perfectly different enough for me. 😄

[@Thependoctor]

⭐️ Thanks for the content, super interesting particularly as I didn’t manage to get a colorvent of my own this year. Fingers crossed for the giveaway!

[@MrMountie11]

⭐Really enjoyed this series of videos.

[@annabookah]

⭐ This was a delight to watch even with the blue shenanigans! I voted for my top 3: Pulsar Pulse, White Hole (I like illegible inks XD), and Christmas Star⭐!

[@alanacarmichael6755]

[Star] I enjoyed watching you every day. I'm just getting into ink and fountain pens and I've learned so much from your channel.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you for watching! I'm so glad you're enjoying the journey. Hope you find some great pens and inks in 2025!

[@twocorgis9758]

I completely agree with your thoughts. Their choices of inks were very similar and the ineligible ones are not very useful at least for me. Thank you for your daily videos. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and I’m looking forward to your content in the New Year! Good luck to those entering your generous giveaway!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you! Merry Christmas!! I have a lot of fun ink videos I already want to do in January haha

[@sahrandipity]

⭐ I am looking forward to your firm opinions about the Diamine calendar as well! Gold star! Lol

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Coming tomorrow! 😊😊

[@plancreatecope]

🌟Enjoyed this toughly. Thanks for your honest reviews. I had fomo when this was first announced, but glad I didn't buy the calendar.

[@darlenewashington9570]

⭐️ Thank you for sharing!!! My favs were Eclipse Silence, Rover & Milky Way. Does Sunbeam remind you Ina ho? I wasn’t sure because my monitor wasn’t picking up all the details when you did the comparisons.

[@HeidiFowler1]

⭐️ I love your videos. Thank you!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I really appreciate that! Thank you for watching! 😊

[@jacquelinestauffer5796]

I like blue a lot more than you do, but I didn't love any of the blues in this advent. Like yourself, I was disappointed overall in this advent because of the range of colors, lack of creativity (with a few exceptions), and similarities between inks in the calendar. I am so glad I didn't buy this, and I am so grateful that you swatched it for us. I hope Colorverse is listening because I was waiting for a dark green, a medium to dark brown, and/or a bright orange, and though I liked Red Horizon, it would have been gorgeous with gold shimmer. I liked the Rosette Nebula, and Milkyway, and though it would be impossible to write with on its own, White Hole was really lovely and creative. As always, thank you so much for your content, and I'm wishing you and yours a lovely Christmas.🎄❄

[@Bifonacci]

I have loved watching your videos through advent, We couldn't get the Colorverse calendar in the UK but I have enjoyed it through your videos! ⭐

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@kmlow]

⭐Although you were very disappointed with this calendar, I very much enjoyed all the swatching videos you had for this calendar. ✨

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I'm glad you enjoyed the swatching videos! They were fun to film! Even though the inks weren't "exciting" per se, they are good standards that are very usable. Happy Inkmas!!

[@Koreleine]

⭐️ Thank you for all your passion you put into this videos. I can understand that the colorvent was disappointing. I would have felt the same. But I think you made the best of it.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you! In the end, they are nice inks 😊

[@xxblueeyesskyexx]

💫⭐️🌟

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I was so excited for it, but I was really disappointed with the final outcome. BUT I have lots of ink to experiment with now hahaha

[@meshinda]

⭐️ I voted for milky way, rover, and sunbeam. I agree with Danielle's review of the calendar. I have never tried colorverse inks and I have been interested but this colorvent did not change my hesitancy to buy.

[@burgabooburgaboo]

⭐ Milky Way was my favorite too, but yep - super disappointed in the lack of variety and excitement in this calendar. I'm hopeful next year's is better!

[@yamrector2]

[star] You save us a lot of money 😊. For my purposes, an ilegible ink is completely useless! Any ink from this calendar wow me. ⭐

[@AlongfortheThrill]

[Star] I couldn't agree more, there was next to nothing proprietary in here which is what got me, and WAY less variety than we wanted. Yes glass bottles are nice, we also got a day less than Diamine but 3 ml more per day. If they do it again next year, I'll give them one more chance, but that's it. If they don't release red horizon I'm going to be scrambling to buy people's who dont want it 🤣

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I completely agree, I think we all were expecting more! Maybe next year they will surprise us. If they lower the price I think it will feel easier if the inks aren't what we expect. I think Red Horizon was the better red of the 2 for sure!

[@AlongfortheThrill]

@@mydandeliondiaries exactly, that price point gave us some expectations lol

[@KaalAmba]

[star] so fun to watch you go through this =)

[@NatalieJane-bd5rt]

⭐️ Thank you for the ink reviews! I’m new to the ink and fountain pen world and I’d love to win some inks to start my collection!

[@BookishMandy]

[star] this is such a great gift! I have appreciated all of your feedback and every video.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@MissMarilynDarling]

⭐Merry Christmas

[@joyceedwards4952]

[Star] Love your videos! Happy new year!

[@michelleherald9619]

[Star] I do agree with your assrasment of the colors.

[@DesTondola]

after completing my first inkvent calendar 3 years ago, I thought I would never use some inks, though the colour variation was definitely greater. However with time I found myself using even the ones I did not expect to. I hope that the same happens to you. [Star] PS Merry Christmas

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I will use them all at some point haha. Merry Christmas!! 😊

[@mollymollie6048]

My favorites were, I think were the last three days: Giant Sunspot, Davinci’s Cosmology (pretty swatch and pretty writing won me over,) and Christmas Star. To me, Christmas Star is very Christmasy - it’s a shining gold star! 🌟 I think 38% of the calendar was blue….If you want to lump in the Greige’s with them, that’s 60%. Yeah. I agree with you that I’ve seen that same dark blue/blurple with the bright red/magenta sheen in a thousand inks (and I will never buy any of them, I really dislike this combo.) I really wish they had taken more risks with this calendar…I think that’s sort of the point with an Inkvent? Like 5 “safe” colors and go risky and fun on the rest. I think that’s why Diamine’s are always so successful. They have a few safe colors that they know people will like and a bunch that they use to try new things like EXTREME Shimmer, etc, or colors that are really different…it’s a great test marketing tool and Colorverse didn’t seem to understand that. You can experiment, go really wild, try a bottle or two of this, that and the other thing you thought about selling individually but weren’t sure about, put it in the calendar and see how people react! I’d love a few of the EXTREME Shimmer inks to use with a dip pen or similar to decorate cards or journal pages with, and a small bottle of Diamine is about $8, even the big bottles are so reasonably priced I’d go for one that I really liked. Out of these, I’d get samples of Giant Sunspot and Christmas Star to see how I like them in person…but I’m not holding my breath for them to release them. I think they make wonderful inks and I do hope they’ll try again next year (they’re going to have to promote it with ‘surprising new combos’ or something…and drop the price for people to risk it again. I wouldn’t have paid $200+ to begin with on a gamble. $100 is a ‘safe’ gamble for the Diamine calendars, imo. Better luck next year, Colorverse, you can do it!!! 🌟

[@TriskelionHallow]

⭐Aaaah It was so hard to choose a 3rd, but my choices were Milky Way Eclipse Silence Blue Moon (I can add a shimmer to it, that's my thought process) 4th Place for me was Rover

[@tortagialla]

⭐️ thank you for your generous giveaway. I think there are interesting inks in the Inkvent but for the price… wowsers! I feel like more variety and smaller bottles would be better 😅 Just to play around with! But maybe they want to cater to a different audience and be different 🤔

[@mydandeliondiaries]

I think this calendar is good in that it was very different from Diamines. Regardless, there are some good inks.

[@karen1946-o4b]

*Star*/[star] ⭐️ thank you for the review, I did suffer the path with you, you are such a trooper!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

We made it to the end! There were some great inks in here though so I can't be too mad haha

[@dragondazdshadowwings34]

⭐ 🌟 ✨ 💫 ⭐ five stars for you

[@bernadmanny]

🌟 Now I have the song Blue by Eiffel 65 stuck in my head.

[@StaticCling99]

Not entering-- i have my own Calendar of Holiday Sadness-- but a chosen sampling is I think the way to go for the giveaway or anyone wanting inks from it. There are indeed good inks there, but Colorverse didn't even try not to duplicate themselves. I'm salty, but it's not world ending, and I guess I don't need to seek out any new basic blue or gray inks for some time

[@StephLane]

🌟thank you for such a great review of each day! I purchased the calendar too and it has been disappointing! I don’t know that I will be purchasing it next year! 💫✨ Merry Christmas! I hope 2025 is an amazing year for you!

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Merry Christmas!! I may watch a spoiler next year to decide if I want to brave their calendar again haha. Or if they drop the price that might make it easier to buy!

⭐ The greys were just too many. Even though there were more blues than greys in this calendar, at least the blues are usable. The fact that the blues and greys together were like 2/3 of the total is ridiculous, of course.

My top three from this calendar would be Edge of Night, NGC 2264 and Rover. I still think I'm never going to buy one of these calendars (regardless of the company). I'd rather get one ink that I definitely want over 24-25 random ones that I might or might not like.

[@mydandeliondiaries]

Others have made their own "inkvent" this year which I think is so great! They get sample inks that they want to try out!

[@jeanlovestea]

@@mydandeliondiaries That's such a great idea! There are so many I want to try. I think I'll start making a list so I can do that next year. It would be fun to order them in little batches throughout the year and just randomly pick one each day.

[@pyoo]

[Star] I saw a spoilers for this advent before deciding to get it or not. I saw how many blue inks there are and decided it's better for me to make my own advent calendar. I'm sorry you have to find out the hard way 😂😢

[@mydandeliondiaries]

All part of an advent experience! Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose haha. At least the inks are usable!
