from 4363 reviewsI love this book so much! There's a great balance between puzzles and colouring pages, paper and covers are high quality as always. The theming of this book is great and I think has something everyone can enjoy (bonus points for my favs, DINOSAURS). Highly recommend!
I honestly didn’t expect to fall in love with colouring again—but these Calm Over Chaos alcohol markers completely changed that for me.
I picked up the full set along with a couple of their colouring books (Butter the Mouse and Be a Little Light in a F* Up World), and wow… I’m genuinely obsessed. The pens are incredibly smooth to use and so beautifully pigmented. Colours glide onto the page effortlessly, especially on bleedproof paper, which makes such a difference. There’s no streakiness—just clean, vibrant colour that blends really nicely.
Colouring has become such a calming, almost therapeutic part of my routine now. I used to hate it, if I’m honest—but now I actually look forward to it every evening. It’s become my little wind-down ritual, and it genuinely helps me switch off.
One of the nicest surprises was that the pens are double-sided. You get a broad brush tip on one end and a fine liner on the other. I personally prefer the brush side, it’s super smooth and great for filling in larger areas. The fine tip is handy for details, although I do find it slightly scratchy compared to the brush. That said, it’s just a personal preference and doesn’t take away from how lovely these pens are overall.
I’ve also noticed that the colours don’t always match the pen lids exactly, but it’s only a slight difference. I’d definitely recommend doing a swatch sheet—it makes choosing colours so much easier and avoids surprises.
Another huge win: my mum tried them out because she was curious, and she loved them too! That says a lot.
I’ve enjoyed using these so much that I’ve already bought another book (Lost in Time Activity Book) and even gifted a set of pens and a book to my friend for her birthday, I’m genuinely excited for her to experience them.
The books themselves deserve a mention too—the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, and you can tell a lot of care and creativity has gone into both the designs and the pens.
These pens have completely changed my relationship with colouring. They’re high-quality, relaxing to use, and perfect for anyone wanting a creative escape.
You can really tell there’s been a lot of thought and effort put into the product. I personally have the alcohol marker set, so I can only speak for those but based on my experience, you won’t be disappointed.
I never thought I’d say this but I genuinely love colouring now.
Yesterday my order arrived, and I must share how utterly and completely happy I am with the products I received.
The markers are incredible, pigmented and blend amazingly! The packaging is not only super cute, but also very convenient for storing the markers.
The paper quality is great (I got the bleed proof) with the alcohol markers and they’re just so smooth. It was a pleasure and so relaxing to do the colouring. I love the book too as the lines are thicker and the shapes are bigger you don’t have to focus too much and can just relax and colour. I had a date night with my husband colouring in the box it all came in which was fun. I did it with my mum when she came over too and she lost track of time colouring as well. She is an artist and also said the quality of the pens and all were great. I will definitely be buying more!
Beautiful glitter pens which are so bright and sparkly. Love them.
I bought this book with bleedproof paper as I also bought the full set of alcohol markers. It is wonderful! I love all the images and phrases/quotes and I am really enjoying colouring whenever I feel like it! Thank you for creating a great colouring book and I can't wait to grab some other ones!
perfect neutral shades for nature, skin tones and more ! 🤎🩶🤍
I had never tried water brush pens before but I had some non-bleedproof paper books and the videos made these look so good! I was not disappointed. These are great for blending colours and look fantastic.
I know these are diversity skin tone markers but I just love the range of colours, you wouldn’t get in other ranges! They are so juicy, love the colours and they have inspired me to *diversify* my colouring using all different natural tones instead of just the bold and bright 🤎
very sparkly and add a nice touch to your colouring page ! didn’t really understand how to get it to work at first so maybe a good idea would be to add a little tutorial on the website? ✨🤍
i am so grateful for finding these markers 🥹 they don’t streak when you get the technique right and the colours are absolutely stunning. the set gives you everything that you need for a lovely range of colours. highly recommend !
I have all 3 boxes of the markers and all ones are so smooth when colouring with no overlay lines! Colours are so bright and vibrant. Best ones in the market😊😊
So after buying MANY varieties of pens over the years I was a bit skeptical about trying these. WOW I’m so glad I took the chance. Best pens by far, so smooth when colouring and blend lovely. No overlay lines either which I love! Have purchased all 3 boxes of the markers twice and are now my go to pen! Just need more colours now Millie 😉 great product!!
