PROS

• Really cool bottle - they all stack together in a really neat way.
• Solid, heavy bottle. A good paperweight.
• Not SUPER pink - it's kind of dark, so I think more people can use it.
• Shades pretty well.
• Although it's somewhat red, it doesn't stain terribly and is of medium difficulty to clean (on a random, completely non-quantifiable scale).

CONS

• No water resistance.
• A terrible bottle mouth design - a very heavy metal cap with metal threads, and a glass bottle mouth with glass threads? I've chipped more than one of these threads before. Be careful. 
• This stuff is expensive.

OVERALL

I think "Divine Pink" is not a very accurate name for this ink - it seems more red to me than pink! However, it behaves pretty well and shades nicely. It's also dark and legible, and the bottle is really neat.

I received this item free of charge for the purposes of this review. I was not compensated monetarily for my review. Everything you've read here is my own opinion.
