Audrey Shows You Everything In The Diamine's Inkvent Calendar: 2023 Edition!

It's that time of year again! That's right: It's November, and that means it's time for the Inkvent Spoiler Video With Audrey! Each year she opens the doors, unwraps the 25 bottles, swatches all of them, and then gives YOU a video tour of this year's Diamine Inkvent Calendar!
I don't like spoilers, but Audrey is generous and is giving you the spoilery video that you need to decide if this year's Inkvent is for you. I'll be bringing you videos all throughout December with each day's color. (Please don't mention specifics about the stuff in the video in the comments so that folks can remain un-spoiled if they choose.)
This year's calendar was graciously sent out by Truphae, so go and see them when you're finished watching this excellent video! Let them know we sent ya!

[@NotesFromPastAmy]

I've already watched 3 unboxings from other channels. Is that going to stop me from watching Audrey's unboxing of this year's inkvent calendar? Absolutely not :)

[@cupper82]

Thank you so much, Amy! I hope it wasn’t too boring and I hope I could at least describe the colors well 💜

[@NotesFromPastAmy]

@@cupper82 your descriptions were great! I was surprised at how different some of the swatches look on your paper. Paper really makes a difference!

[@erlandaislund4594]

I can't believe it took me all 4 years to notive, that number 25 always has a color matching the color of the cslender.

[@SharkLizard]

The jacaranda and lavender frost are definitely my favourites this year! I never purchase the advent calendar (too expensive) but I love the little bottles they come in when they release the colours later so I tend to buy one or two of them a year. Thanks for the review!

[@cupper82]

Good call. You save a lot of money that way!

[@Doozer153]

Thank you Audrey. Loved watching your video. Your descriptions were so real I felt like I was right there with you. So real that when you were describing the smell of the Cinnabon I actually put my nose to my phone. And then laughed like crazy.

[@cupper82]

Trust me, it definitely smelled like cinnamon. Just add a little to a sample of KWZ and you’ll get a vanilla Cinnabun! 😂

[@wanderpetal]

I loooove the Audrey spoiler video! Not gonna lie, I’m also going to watch Mike’s paced reveal (assuming he’s planning to do one).

[@inkdependence]

Oh, I am!

[@KootenayE]

According to Wiki, Bucks Fizz is usually served at Christmas day breakfast in the UK. Interesting to learn different traditions from other countries!

[@cupper82]

Yeah, apparently it’s basically like a mimosa.

[@donnarion1147]

I always love your Inkvent spoiler videos, Audrey. But then I was the kid who opened and re-wrapped their Christmas presents (slit and tape). You do a great job of describing the colors too! The color you called taupe, Weeping Willow, looked a lot on screen like a very close dupe for the now discontinued - and much lamented - Iroshizuku Ina Ho. Thanks for another great video this year, and I'll still watch Mike's day-by-day version as well.

[@cupper82]

That’s so funny because I was always the kid that would never think to peek and would feel guilty about it. I think it’s the fact that the Inkvent is a gift to myself, whereas those are presents from others which are not to be touched. Anyway, thank you so much for watching! 💜 I’m curious how similar Weeping Willow will be to Ina Ho (I’m sure Mike will be pulling the comparisons and will show us in due time).

[@renois1]

OMG I was the child that accidentally ripped the corner 😳 of my 🎁 gifts just to get a little sneak peek but my parents were onto my little trick so they'd wrap it in a random box🤣😇🥰

[@donnarion1147]

@@renois1 LOL! I am the oldest of six, and my poor parents went to heroic lengths to hide our Christmas presents, but my brothers could *always* find them. My brothers' worst trick was to switch the contents either for something they liked better or as a joke on another brother. Fun times. Have a very happy holiday!

[@renois1]

@@donnarion1147 that's hilarious 😂 glad we're older and can laugh about it now!!!

[@randomstuffwithvicky]

This was incredibly helpful and informative - thank you!

[@Quinkerbell_3604]

Thank you for doing this. It really helped me decide about whether to make the purchase!

[@inkdependence]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CufflinksAndChuckles]

This year’s calendar is already a lot better than last year’s. A lot of unique colours compared to previous year’s.

[@lcritter]

You always do such a great job Audrey. Thanks for this.

[@inkdependence]

Thank you so much!

[@_quiara_]

Jacaranda flowers bloom near Christmas. It’s a whole thing.

[@cupper82]

I’m learning so much from this year’s Inkvent 😂 Thanks for the info!

[@technoraptor7778]

I really want this one

[@inkdependence]

It's still available, and there are lots of sales this week and next, I'm sure, so it might be a good time to get one.

[@marachristian8726]

Thank you for doing a spoiler video! I don't purchase the Inkvents, but I do enjoy seeing all the colors, and it's such a time-saver to see them all at once!

[@cupper82]

It’s a time-saver, but is still a long video. I just can’t seem to make them shorter! I always want to make sure to describe them the best that I can.

[@plancreatecope]

Nice job again Audrey!!!

[@cupper82]

Thanks! ☺️

[@Hey_its_CeeTee]

Nice descriptions of the colours. Glad I did not get this one though. Soooo much shimmer and I rarely use them.

[@cupper82]

You definitely have to like shimmer to enjoy the whole thing. If a couple really call your name, you can always get a sample when they come out individually.

[@gterlouw]

Bucks fizz is a champagne cocktail with orange juice, so the name is right for the ink. It’s also an English band who won the Eurovision song contest.

[@cupper82]

Thank you!! 🎉

[@donnarion1147]

Now that makes me wonder what the difference is between a Bucks Fizz and a mimosa - also a champagne and orange juice drink. Mimosas are a family holiday brunch fave. ETA: I just Googled it - Bucks Fizz is 2 parts champagne to 1 part oj, while a mimosa is 1/2 and 1/2. So I just learned that my family has been drinking Bucks Fizzes all these years instead of mimosas! 🙂

[@JaneSmith-gw4ce]

Audrey, I love the nails! (and the inks, but your nails are lovely)

[@inkdependence]

She did definitely give the nails some thought before making that video for me. :-D

[@christinechen9654]

Buck's Fizz is a cocktail made of Champagne or Prosecco with orange juice.

[@cupper82]

My lack of drinking is really showing, huh? 😂 so it’s pretty much a mimosa?

[@JessicaCEP]

Tempting!

[@renois1]

Thanks Audrey ❤again this year for giving us nosey ones a sneak peek 👀 😊🎉 I'm glad Diamine went against the grain doing non-traditional ink colors for those of us that love to sprinkle our glitter dust on everything ✨️

[@cupper82]

Speaking of shimmer, what are your thoughts on the new Star Bright color?

[@renois1]

@cupper82 I love the color they selected but truth be told I'm terrified to put that in any of my pens but I do practice Cooperplate Calligraphy with an Oblique holder with pointed pen nibs so I will definitely be using it to create some Christmas cards

[@lizdubdub]

Brilliant job Audrey!

[@cupper82]

As always, thank you so much, Liz! 💜

[@MarcellHobbs]

I preordered in July, received in October, but haven’t opened. I watched with eyes wide open!

[@cupper82]

Thanks for watching, and now immediately forget them to be surprised in a month 🎉💜

[@rewil42]

I already watched on Patreon! Yay!

[@cupper82]

You’re the best, Becky! 🤗

[@tbayless8324]

I'm already spoiled LOL!! There are about six inks in here I don't care for.

[@inkdependence]

That's a pretty good ratio, really.

[@cupper82]

Yeah, 6 out of 25 isn’t bad. I can think of a handful that were just “fine” after looking them over a second time.

[@tbayless8324]

Yes, but I am not too much of a glitter girl and not splashy with the inks, I just write with them. I go for darker inks. That gold and Bucks Fizz is startling which is on my " not so great inks" In this batch. My favorite is the greens and reds. But my favorite color is blue which is hard to choose which one. As cupper82 said, I will need to look at them again. Right now I am really enjoying FWP Green w/ Curiosity which It is not in this Inkvent for some who do not know. Thanks Audrey for doing this. I really enjoy your videos with the animals. When are you going to get ink on the cats---LMBO!!!!@@inkdependence

[@tbayless8324]

Some of them are a little strange.@@cupper82

[@miletread]

Not sure if I’ve overlooked someone else pointing this out, but I think Jacaranda is pronounced with an H sound at the beginning rather than a J (thanks, Encanto soundtrack!)

[@miletread]

I’ve now learned that both are valid, but the J sound tends to be used in English! So I stand corrected 😂

[@inkdependence]

I haven't seen this ink yet, but I'm sure I'll say it incorrectly. It's one I've only seen in print. Maybe I'll visit a pronunciation site first...

[@marilyngardner4269]

Gteat job! I never buy the Inkvent calendar -- just not worth it for me -- but I really enjoy seeing the colors and will eventually probably buy a few as samples or bottles when they come out. Your spoiler video is the best!

[@cupper82]

That’s the best way to do it to protect that wallet. Thanks for watching!

[@maggie5280]

Interesting you are the 4th or 5th you tube video I’ve seen doing the reveal this year However I’m not watching any of them I’ll watch the daily reveal that Mike does in Dec I did let it play silenced and didn’t watch so you get credit

[@cupper82]

I’ve been doing Inkvent Spoilers for the channel for the past several years 😊

Hmm, perhaps it doesn’t work for international orders? They’re just stickers, so you think it would!

It also probably only works once per person. I don't make the codes, though, so you'd need to talk to Stickii about that.
